There’s a small parking lot if you take the first left after passing Prey Brewing.“

“Justin was a wonderful host! We had a tour and explanation of all the products they produce. We were visiting from PA, our friend from Vista became a member. Highly recommend this establishment for the atmosphere as well as the libations.“

“Went with my fiancé for the first time in the area had a great time very good vibes would totally recommend!“

“Great drinks and authentic tacos.“

“Delicious, comfortable spot.“

“Stumbled on this place.months ago and it's become one of our favorite spots. Has the perfect little dive bar vibe but I can also get a nice cocktail with no hassle if that's what I'm feeling that night. Bar tenders are always cool. I'm not even a country fan really but it's a good time. Definitely recommend“

“Loving it! Awesome people!“

“This is a staple in Carlsbad and it seems the people who have problems are expecting something different than what Golden Tee is or are a high maintenance problem themselves. This is a dive bar and it’s meant to be a dive bar. If you want something else, go to the village or a hotel bar. The bartenders here work incredibly hard, and deal with problematic people in a swift but courteous manner. The drinks are always poured correctly, the tab is always correct. They’re professional and I have never felt unsafe here even at night stopping in by myself. Both male employees with long hair and the bald Mexican guy have always been fantastic and take care of business. Recommend this place if you’re in a no frills, calm mood just looking to be comfortable. Great job, guys!“

“Better than some other bars where you have to mess about with credit cards, pay later, &c. Friendly bar staff. Decent pinot noir. Classic rock on the sound system: like most of Southern California, they haven’t progressed past the early 1970s, so much of the music is 50 years old!! Warning: not a drinker’s bar. Locals sip on kombucha while you’re sitting there getting slaughtered.“

“It's absolutely one of the coolest spots in Vista. This is a speak easy themed bar that hits all the right points. From the moment you walk inside, you're enveloped in a cool old timey vibe that pulls you out of your daily grind.

They have tons of delicious hand crafted cocktails, as well as a house distilled vodka that has great origin. All of the Misadventure Vodka is made from breads, muffins, and other confectionery carbohydrates that would have become food waste. It tatse amazing, and it's truly unique compared to any other vodka you will find on the market. Other local distilled spirits are also featured on their menu. If you are about supporting local business, then this is the place for you.

The food is excellent. They have several great charcuterie boards, and snack like offering. Additionally, they have more substantial foods like paninis and salads if you are in the mood for a luch or dinner.

This place is far bigger than you would expect looking at it from the outside. There are 2 additional rooms tucked away after you pass through the large main room and lots of outdoor seating. It's easy to find parking around here as well. There is a large parking lot and street parking if that has filled up.

Don't miss out on coming here. It's a unique and fun experience, the staff is wonderful and accommodating. Even if you don't drink or are being the DD, they feature lots of cocktails to enjoy.“

She is so kind and sweet but just know, anyone gets tight with her, you’re gonna deal with the whole community. She’s spicy! She’s the truth. Great drinks. Just ask her for a surprise. She’s knows a lot of them and crafts them. Tip her! She will have your back and keep everyone safe. Just trust me on that haha she will regulate if need be.

“This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the North county area. I mostly do takeout from this place, but it is a great experience dining in as well. Food is delicious and portions are generous. I also highly recommend appetizers and dessert here. My go to is the drunken noodles or massaman curry, but everything else I've tried was amazing. Service is fast and friendly, there is rarely a long wait for food or drinks.“

“🙂👍 Andi does a great job!“

“This is the 3rd year in a row that our group of friends have visited Bar Meets Grill to celebrate 2 birthdays. After our first visit and having Tiffany as our server, we request her and with good reason! Without a doubt, she is the BEST server we have EVER had. She has a great personality, but, besides that, pays attention to detail and is always on top of our needs! We tell everyone what an awesome experience we have had every visit! The food is always served with great presentation and is always very tasty! Tiffany is definitely an asset to your restaurant, and we want to make sure she gets her kudos from us! We will be back next year, if not sooner and will definitely be requesting Tiffany! Thank you, Tiffany, for always making our celebration a memorable experience!!“

“Love the burgers, hot dogs, sausages, etc. But the customer service is really where they shine. You feel like family here. The staff knows my daughter's order as soon as we roll up. They also have a great beer selection. Can't recommend enough!“

“Everything is good. Food. Service. Ambiance.“

“It was amazing we are going to come back“

“I don’t think I’ve ever really had a lobster roll or lobster mac & cheese. So I really don’t have anything to compare it to. But I have had lobster many times and mac & cheese many times and I will tell you, this plate did not disappoint. The lobster is very sweet and tender, not chewy at all. The mac & cheese was very cheesy and delectable, really enjoyed eating that.

It’s a little on the pricey side, as lobster usually is. If I ever want to splurge again, and I’m in the area, I will come back.“
