Mr. D’s Cocktail Lounge
1322 Third Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91911
Mr. D’s has it all for cheap (ask about the coffee tequila special), but the standout beverage at this deep Chula dive is the Border Jumper ($7.50 or $5.25 during happy hour). A frontera-land retort to the Irish Car Bomb, the Jumper launches a shot glass of Hornitos into a pint of Flashpoint (generic energy drink) and garnishes it with a splash of cranberry juice. Slam it like you mean it, because the second sip is guaranteed to be ruder than the first. Chase it with a two-dollar Tecate on Tuesdays or get loose to live banda tunes on Fridays.
