3N1 Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Chula Vista

Found this spot while waiting for my fav pizza spot to open. After seeing 4.8 reviews and #6 on some Chula Vista Foodie list, decided to try. Walked in and it was nearly empty and still waited to be seated. Staff was no where to be found. Sat in the covered patio which was nice. Any seat has a good view of a TV. The whole patio is a smoking section since this sports bar also has a cigar shop. Ordered the calamari, "Cuban Style" sandwhich. Calamari was like chewing on rubber bands and there was nothing resembling anything Cuban about the sandwhich. Everything was previously frozen, microwave and served. I spoke to the 2 owners there which were the acting staff and simply just said its bar food. So thats what's expected. But they overly expressed how their wings were the best around town, so decided to try....nope, they were hard and dry, previously frozen as the rest of the food. The only good experience was the beer. Nice and cold but since the staff "owners" were too busy on the phone, the service was really bad. Walking out i thought to myself, have i had a worse experince than this? So food was horribble, service was bad. The place itself is nice to go watch sports but they only operate on a beer and wine license. So no hard liquor....

This is my second and last visit, and I don’t recommend this place. The employees are not friendly and did not make me feel welcome. Last week we visited the restaurant with my husband. We asked for a beer that is on the menu. The waitress did not know if they had that beer. We gave her a second choice, just in case. She promised to check. After a long wait she brought the pitcher without glasses and did not tell us what kind of beer it was. We requested glasses from another person and we got plastic cups. We almost finished the beer before they served us the food. It was not a busy night and we wondered what caused so much delay. Looked like no one cares. Tonight I made an online order. I went to the restaurant after I was notified that the food is ready for pick up. The first person lied to me, that they are still working on my order. Then another one said that the restaurant is busy and will take awhile. Finally after a long wait a third person stated that they don’t have the order. He started to check their system, doubting if I paid and placed anything. And then he saw the order and I had to wait double time and not getting a calamari sauce… Dissatisfying and...

First approved cigar lounge in Chula Vista! The huge plus is its also a bar/restaurant!

This is a plus for me since I don't smoke, but I like to tag along with my husband from time to time.

In the front there lovely outdoor seating area and there was live music when we came. At the entrance you have the cigar humidor room that is locked since it's a family restaurant. But the hostess will let you in. From there walk straight across and back to the cigar lounge. It was ventilated well enough for me to be able to sit comfortably. They had large comfy sofa type chairs or you can a bar height table and stools. Plenty of televisions for any game. Cigar lockers for monthly rent as well.

They have a good happy hour menu selection, priced well with finger foods. I had their chicken tenders with the sauce on the side. Husband had 2 orders of wings. We were able to order food and drinks from the lounge. Happy hours last until 7pm. I didn't have a chance to take a look at their full menu.

Husband's new favorite cigar lounge! If the wives come we can sit out front...
