Social Profile:

Established in 2015, our bar began as a pioneering local hub for craft beer enthusiasts, fostering a tight-knit community. As tastes evolved and our neighborhood grew, we’ve expanded to become a full-service bar, offering a thoughtfully crafted menu of cocktails, premium spirits, and a growing selection of mezcal, tequila, and whiskey. Our vibe is laid-back, but elevated service and drinks — a place where regulars feel at home and newcomers are always welcomed. Whether you’re here for a smooth pour of small-batch bourbon, a mezcal or tequila cocktail, or just to unwind over a local IPA, our bar continues to be a cornerstone of the community, blending old-school charm with modern tastes. Featuring happy hour, DJs and dancing.

Local craft beers spotlighted in a hip, rustic space with 30 taps & funky Mexican-style decor.

One of the best if not the best local hang out’s I’ve been to in awhile! This place has a great section of craft beers on tap, and awesome atmosphere to enjoy a good time with friends. Place is a bit small, but I enjoy the great music and craft beers which make up for the small location. Another plus is that you can walk next door to Salud (Mexican Restaurant) which in my opinion serves some of the best food in National City and bring it back into Machete’s Beer House to enjoy. The staff were very friendly and attentive to all customers and even help you pick a good beer you enjoy drinking. I will definitely be coming back here again very soon from LA.

Chill spot to hang out with friends. They have a lot of IPA beers if your a fan of those and the bartenders are pretty nice. I believe I tried around 5 different beers because I personally don’t like IPAs at all nor do I like super light beer that tastes watered down. I had a stout and it wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t as creamy as I hoped it would be. Hence the 4/5 stars because I wish they had more of a stout selection. Otherwise chill atmosphere, the women’s restroom is cute and there’s seating outside, inside, and at the bar.

​Grit Meets Gold at Machete Beer House

​There’s a rare beauty in a spot that stays true to its National City roots while curating a world-class tap list. Machete Beer House is the ultimate “elevated dive”—unpretentious, authentic, and essential.

​Forget the basics. Machete leans into the elite tier of West Coast and Hazy IPAs, featuring a rotating selection that would make any hop-head swoon.

​Their Mexican-style mixed drinks are a masterclass in balance. From the perfectly spiced Micheladas to the bright, citrus-forward Agave blends, every glass is a tribute to the flavors of the region.

​Whether you’re here for a rare pour or a salted rim, Machete proves that high-end taste doesn’t require a dress code.

Look I’m not saying this place is bad, but unclean tables and loud music isn’t my vibe. For the younger crowd you should stop on by. They had some tacos outside that were pretty good and they’re beer selection was awesome but the overcrowding and not being able to hear myself talk kinda ruined it.
