Manhattan Bar

Cash only, no cards accepted. No kitchen, so no food. Parking is very limited. Pool table by the entrance door, very distracting if you're playing while people come and go. DJ is cool, playing hits sounds.

Rude and pretentious. Parked in a Handicap spot next to this bar and were followed to the next door establishment to move the car as the bartender didn’t want to hold back spaces for customers. When leaving the establishment next door, found a NON-Handicap Impala in the Handicap spot. The California Department of Motor Vehicles website seems to indicate that anyone with a disabled placard or license plate may park in any designated disabled space. It does not appear to make a distinction between public and private property or between reserved and unreserved spaces.

Like coming here with my cousins. It's pretty small with a small dance floor. We like coming on cumbia night. Oh yeah, good luck with parking. Overall, we have fun. We party and drink

This is a local Chula Vista bar with live music and two pool tables. It's a step up from a dive bar, and they have a rotating list of about 10 craft beers in addition to their full bar. It gets fairly crowded here on weekends. Parking can be a bit tough on weekends, but you can park across the street from their lot for free. It's not a bad place for a couple drinks with friends. The staff is also generally pretty friendly and attentive.

I have always liked this place, even before I had a stroke, 5 years ago. It has changed few owners, but still carries the name The Manhattan, a Chula Vista landmark to me. I Wish the 24hr Flamingo Cafe was still across the street. Both went hand in hand. Bar shut down and everybody including owners would eat at cafe. (NW corner) The only problem with Manhattan is, that it is totally terrible to move a power chair in ADA bathroom, since I'm disabled now. But STILL gave this place a 5 for still a great place after 20 years!

It's a typical great dive bar! Try their micheladas, they're terrific. Nuff said!

My experience there is like hanging out with my family. Always fun!!!
