About

Sunset Cafe on Chula Vista's Third Avenue operates a hookah lounge and bar format from a storefront at 335 3rd Avenue, between Center Street and Madrona Street in the Third Avenue Village district. The lounge's full bar pours beer and wine alongside a rotating selection of shisha tobacco blends, creating a nightlife format that complements the craft-beer taproom culture anchored nearby by 3 Punk Ales Brewing Co. on the same corridor. Weekend programming includes live DJ sets that run into the early morning, positioning the venue as one of Third Avenue's few late-night entertainment options south of H Street. The interior arranges low couches and lounge-style seating around individual hookah stations, each equipped with quick-light coconut charcoal and a selection of fruit-blended tobacco flavors. A small food menu supplements the hookah and bar program with light bites, giving the space a hybrid café-lounge identity suited to the after-hours crowd that also frequents event spaces including FACTORY OF DREAMS HALL SAN DIEGO. Hookah service utilizes traditional Egyptian-style clay bowls with aluminum foil heat management, paired with natural coconut-shell coals that burn at roughly 500°F for a cleaner, longer-lasting smoke session.
