History
Hot rods is built in my old shop building in Holtville, using 2 of my 1953 ford f-100 pickups for the main bar featuring a vintage rear engine dragster mounted on the west wall, with guitars & memorabilia hanging throughout. Our beach bar I built as a San Felipe style palapa bar, creating a very relax environment. Now we have just open Back Stage, a family friendly area featuring eleven dining booths built out of recycled grain bins with open air theater experience. I wanted a place to take my wife (PJ) on our date night that fit our generation. We both love visiting the gas lamps in San Diego, so I thought let's bring a little cool over the hill- Hot Rods was born. My love for classic clean music was the force behind all the stages & bringing the House of Blue style shows to the Valley. PJ my partner & best friend makes it complete.
Specialties
We open every day at 4 pm with great drinks. We are probably known best for our rib eye steaks and baby back ribs. Specials are every Wednesday to Friday from 5-9 pm. Private events and catering for your next party is also available. Hot Rods' main bar, beach bar, and now back stage are filled with live music, video concerts, and all sports channels shown on 2 18-inch HD and flat screens. We offer 15 drafts on tap and cold bottled beers, plus all the Valley's favorite cocktails made by our professional staff. Local bands and tribute concerts on our main stage will always be what we're about. We are very proud and humbled to host some of the greatest shows ever to play the Valley.
