Mexicali's Bar

This place is quite divey with a hint of homey. A fun time indeed!!My good friend and I both just went through a recent break up or some jazz and wanted to get our drink on! After a drive down Mt. Hamilton, this place right on the corner of McKee and White kinda by 7-11. We both heard the music from outside and figured we would poke our heads in. They have 2 pool tables and an okay sized bar, nothing fancy really. Once we sat down, both her and I asked the bartender gal for a round of beer. After a bit, she heard us complaining about our exes and joined us for a laugh or two, then, out of nowhere made us both a homemade Michellada! It was so awesome!! It was by far one of the best Michelladas I have EVER had!! It tasty with a hint of spice. After that Michellada, we stayed a bit, did some dancing and met some very interesting folks and another couple. I must say, it was the most fun I've had in awhile!Overall; for a dive, it has all the essentials. Both her and I decided to come back again soon!

This bar peaked my curiosity every time I drove by. It's open every night of the week. There's a taco truck out front and you always see people. It feels like I'm south of the border. This is a cash only establishment that serves beer only. The music is loud and the night I stopped in they were setting up some live music. It's definitely what I would consider a Mexican dive bar. The atmosphere is pretty chill and there wasn't a cover. I wasn't uncomfortable and there were even some people dancing. We got charged 7 bucks per beer so it's not a cheap place to drink but it's definitely got a unique vibe. Interesting crowd, cold beer and no cover. I might stop in again one more time just to see if it gets better.

Mexicali bar gives the term dive bar a whole new in-depth meaning. This bar is frequented by locals who seem to really love to inbibe!I didn't get a sense of real safety when I checked in there. I guess because there was a lot of people hanging around outside... And no security guard.If you're going to go to this bar take your bodyguard... You're going to need it... And don't go there dressed with a lot showing... If you know what I mean... Just looking at the place reminds me of why I don't go to dive bars!Avoid this place! Go to a sports bar at Eastridge... Better patrons... Better atmosphere... Better food... Better drinks if you do that kind of thing...If you do go there... Be careful... And remember designate or incarcerate! Just a note... This area of town is a frequent Cruz patrol for San Jose PD... And with good reason... take my advice just don't drink... That's the best I can say...Sometimes we check into places and check them out because we want a badge what can I say that's the truth!I like to hear what you have to say about this bar... If you go there write A review... And tell us what you think...
