Cerveza Heights is a neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in central Dukes, Liberty City.
Description[]
Grand Theft Auto IV[]
Cerveza Heights is bounded by East Island City and Meadows Park to the north, Meadow Hills to the east; Beechwood City, Schottler and Downtown to the south; and BOABO to the west. It is a middle-class neighborhood chiefly made up of low-rise tenements, brownstones, and small-time stores and businesses, most of which are influenced by south-east Asian culture. It is home to a hospital and part of the East Island City Police Station. The area is controlled by the Spanish Lords and the Messina Family.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars[]
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the Triads also control a part of Cerveza Heights, mainly in the areas with Chinese restaurants and shops. Moreover, Huang Lee's first safehouse is located there.
Influence[]
Cerveza Heights is based on the New York City neighborhoods of Jackson Heights, Corona (incidentally cerveza is the Spanish word for beer and Corona is the name of a famous Mexican beer), Flushing, and Ozone Park in Queens. Like its real-life counterparts, Cerveza Heights is ethnically diverse with notable Chinese, South Asian, Latino, and Italian communities.

Easter Eggs[]
Up north towards the border of East Island City there is a building with artwork all over it. If the player looks at it closely it is artwork from former Grand Theft Auto games, more specifically from Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The pictures consist of artwork of:
- OG Loc (San Andreas box art);
- El Burro, 8-Ball, Kenji Kasen, Misty, Police Maverick (GTA III box art);
- Woman in pink two piece, red motorcycle and Mercedes Cortez (Vice City box art).
This is similar to easter eggs in the Looking for that Special Someone trailer.
Misty's artwork (low resolution) in the Paint One Building, GTA Chinatown Wars.
The building also appears in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, but the artwork are low resolution and do not have any legible details on them. (The only legible artworks are from Misty (GTA III box art) and Mercedes Cortez (Vice City box art).
