41 Best Cocktail Bars near Cardiff

“Nine of us had lunch here on a busy Saturday-glad we had reservations! The waitress did a fabulous job taking care of us and all our many requests. The food was excellent as well-the only exception might be the funfetti pancakes, which were a little sweet. My one BIG complaint was the LOUD MUSIC, especially the THUMPING BASS. I asked several times if they could turn down the volume, but no luck. I want to preserve my hearing, and for that reason I will not dine here again.“

“My favorite place in North County San Diego. The nachos are to die for“

“great cocktails...... ....“

“Great drinks and authentic tacos.“

“excellent drinks & food.“

“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.“

“Love coming here! Food is great - I recommend the sunset ceviche and the buffalo chicken. Cocktails are amazing. I highly recommend the antidote. Bartenders are always nice and professional. And of course the view outside is phenomenal. Just don’t try to get in the pool… if the manager sees she will kick you out! 😂

Parking is valet only for $5, or you can walk up the stairs from the beach.“

“Beautiful Ambiance, Friendly Servers and Delicious Foods. Highly Recommend this place. Cheers!“

“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.“

“Awesome place , great food and exceptional service/ staff.“

“Best burger I've had in a very long time. Fries are amazing too! For the same amount you would spend at McDonald's you could come to Hamburger Hut a w and get way better quality food. I was shocked at how low the prices were. A burger, fries and a drink cost me $14.“

“Every dish was amazing. The pacing and timing of dishes was off and the service varied depending on the area (our server and the manager were great). It was very hectic, especially with the Del Mar opening day post race crowd (lots of tipsy folks) so maybe not the best atmosphere to fairly evaluate all aspects of the restaurant but the good parts were more than enough for us to return.“

“Amazing service and amazing food in a perfect setting. Not only is the resort top notch but the food options are up there as well. One place in particular is Pacific Point which offers high top seating, bar seating, and a very comfortable outdoor space as well. My wife and I had an early dinner one evening in the bar area and our food was great. Also, the service was excellent as well. Our server was accommodating, answered any and all questions, and checked on us frequently. Definitely a great spot if you are looking for an amazing meal and service.“

“Best grilled shrimp taco I've ever had, quite literally. The flavors, the presentation, it was exquisite. I walked in on a whim, due to the inviting ambiance, and the food, drink, and service (special shout out to Rudy!) was phenomenal. Highly recommend when visiting Del Mar!“

“Savannah is hands down the coolest chick I know. She really is the best bartender. She’s so hospitable. I come here for her. BIG FAN
Aaannnnndddd
The office truly is a diamond in the rough. Jess, Brooklyn, Marisa, and Savannah are the kindest humans alive the arcade room is so fun and the food is great Friday and Saturdays! MUST CHECK THIS PLACE OUT“

“great sound, and stage. often there is a drum set and bass amp. Jay Cain is a great host!“

“Trendy but relaxed and really good margarita!“

“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.“

“We had another excellent meal! We were celebrating our son’s birthday and our server Paul really made it a great night . We have had him before and he is really a fantastic server! All of our food was fantastic . Pictured below the ahi ceviche and the jalapeño watermelon margarita . Such a fun atmosphere, too.“

“From the moment we walked into the door to meet our friends, until the time we left feeling pretty good about our Friday night, Cocina de Barrio aced all of our expectations and more. The hosts were just so welcoming and made our out of town guests feel right at home. It was Happy Hour and the bartender grinded out some of THE BEST Cadillac Margaritas in town...and our party of 5 enjoyed many of them. It was obvious that the folks that work at this restaurant aren't lazy, forgetful, or lacked knowledge of their food, OH NO. These folks gloriously worked the entire restaurant as a team, and boy was it fabulous. Delicious fish tacos, grilled shrimp tacos and fresh ceviche, along with delectable braised ribs in mole sauce were served up with perfect timing, and as we enjoyed our dishes and drinks, our server Manuel, was like a Ninja - appearing only when we we appeared to be getting low on something, and quick to replenish or take more of our orders very quickly. Amazing. Our table made a promise to one another that we'll definitely come back to Cocina de Barrio for more great nights of fun and feast, and to make sure we don't wait too long to do it! Ole!“

“Great food and great service from a very friendly and attentive staff! Had an awesome date night! Our first time here but won’t be our last.“

“Queso fundido the elites and the steak plate“

“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!“

“This is a really special restaurant. Their waiting staff is very attentive and deals quite well with children. They also go beyond with regulars in treating them as close friends. It’s quite unique and very special. I’ve also never had a meal here that wasn’t fantastic. I highly recommend any steak dish on the menu. The bread is real good as well. I recommend this restaurant for an upscale family gathering.“

“The happy hour is 1000% worth it. The shredded beef slides were filled with a good portion of protein and you can't beat the drink prices. Everything was great except the server consistently trying to close us out. We were a group of four girls catching up and couldn't help but feel she was trying to get us in and out. I would definitely go again, but if service is the same, I wouldn't recommend it to people trying to enjoy a relaxing, social outing.“

“the best ! never disappointed“

“First time trying this place while visiting relatives in the area. Located in the shopping center right next to the parking garage. The food and service were both great. I would gladly come again when in the area. Katsu Curry is one of my comfort meals and I enjoyed theirs. Serving size for the entrees was generous. We ordered a couple sushi rolls as well.“

“My great grandmother’s brother was Matthew Henebery the whiskey baron of Peoria Illinois. He would be happy to see this I am sure“

“Solana Beach Kitchen was amazing. Each dish was spectacular. Loved the Surf & Turf Nachos, the Calamari was the best I have ever had. The Mac n Cheese with brisket was a recommendation from the fabulous Tracy and it was incredibly delicious. Everything was so good that we returned the next night!! Highly recommend SB Kitchen.“

“Super attentive service. From the Hostesses, wait staff to buss boys. Food is delectable. Entrees were well prepared, fresh ingredients, served hot & salads crisp. Highly recommended.“

“Just happened upon this place (new in the area). Sopes were fantastic, as well as their Margaritas. Will return, for sure!!!“

“Amazing food. Delicious & unique drinks. All very reasonable. Will definitely return & highly recommended!!“

“What an amazing place to eat, fresh food and great service. Shout out to Mike, what an amazing gentleman always checking up on customers and making sure everything is top notch. Best food in the county.“

“This used to be The Americana. Harry’s is better. We shard a Belgium waffle, bacon, hash browns & cinnamon roll. All but the hash browns were great. Hashbrowns were greasy but would have been good if they weren’t.

Service was very good. We will go back.“

“Great service, atmosphere, and the food is amazing. The drinks are wonderful. I will definitely come back again.“

“My favorite Nashville hot chicken sandwich and tenders!!!!!!“

“Amazing veggie fajitas and mango margaritas 😋“

“Doug is the owner of T13 and he has opened his doors to host our King Tide Challenge event. We are so stoked to have a local spot that is so perfect“

“We ordered healthy salads which were fine...nothing special. What made the evening was the ambience outside to enjoy the pleasant weather, lovely view and it was quiet. Inside the noise was a very high pitch due to families with children. It was a holiday (July 4th). Staff very professional.“

“Good selection of traditionally made additive free tequilas“
