"So glad I finally got to stop by this place. Came here for some quality time with my friend to work on some new goals so I was pleasantly surprised they had drinks because I had only planned to grab a coffee while we worked. We walked in and the inside is well lit, nicely decorated with vinyls everywhere and so much good music and nice vibe. For drinks we ended up ordering off th4 Soju Cocktail menu. We ordered the Nice Melon, the Good vibrations, the Strawberry Fields and Mangolificent and the Ciry Runs red. The cocktails were all suddenly sweet with good flavors ans honestly not that strong. For food we ordered the Spam Me Right Now, Baby and the Stand Bahn Mi with a side of chips. The chips were a nice touch and having the option to pick them off the counter was pretty nice too. The Spam Me Right Now, Baby had green onions that smells strongly like onions which took me by surprise when we got it. But the spam was a little too sweet for me but the rice was cooked perfectly. The Stand Banh Mi was disappointing honestly.. the chicken had way to much pepper in it ans hardly any other seasoning. The bread was warmed up so it was very soft and not firm like a traditional Bahn me and the pickled veggies inside were okay. It was definitely lacking what a Bahn Mi should be. Honestly, I took two bites and didnt finish it. The restroom is being built or fixed? I'm not sure they said two different things. They directed me to go outside then next door and go up the stairs to another bathroom and when I went to wash my hands, the water didn't not work. There is a motion sensor on the faucet but it was not detecting motion so I wiped the soup off my hands with a paper towel. Overall I think this is a really cool place but I wasnt impressed with the food or drinks at all."

"Tender Hooligan is a semi-new establishment on 3rd Avenue in downtown Chula Vista. It’s a bit of an all-in-one experience, featuring a record store and telephone vinyl listening booth, a cocktail bar, draft beer, a coffee and food menu, couches, and more. The overall aesthetic and branding is super vibey—I love the hanging lantern covers, the black-and-white wallpaper in some sections, the refurbished British phone booths, and the atmosphere. It feels like a laidback remote work spot, a place to chill with friends for a bit, and does a good job of capturing 3rd Avenue’s long-standing entrepreneurial spirit. I came here for an event somewhat recently and it was pretty cool. They had lots of vendors, DJs, and live poetry. Plenty of people showed up, making it an interesting artistic event with networking opportunities. I tried the London Fog and it was pretty tasty! I’ll need to come back to try other coffee drinks and food. Update: I’ve been back a couple of times to try different drinks, a food item, and even play a show here. The owners are super hospitable and very friendly people. I always have a great time! I recently tried the matcha lemonade, which I wasn’t sure about at first due to the mixture of tang with the grassiness of the matcha—but it grew on me as I sipped. It’s actually quite a refreshing pick-me-up drink. The Death Cap for Cutie dish is pretty good too—I liked the marinade on the shiitake mushrooms and the flavor profile when mixed with the jalapeños, green onions, and furikake. It’s a great spot!"

"Great find here on 3rd avenue. I love the vibe and how they have amazing drinks with loads of vinyl records to purchase and listen. You can listen to them in the British telephone booths. I had the peach soju drink and it was refreshing. One of my favorite places here in Chula Vista."

"The vibes were good, for going with friends to sit down the music was a bit too loud, we had to go and sit outside to hear each other. Their signature drinks are amazing !"

"I ordered rude girl, fantastic. Different, thought was going to be over sweet due to the whipping cream but was really on point, could taste the coffee flavors. My husband ordered London fog also really good."
