19 Best Bars in Carlsbad

“excellent drinks & food.“

“Went out for lunch today with my co-workers, food is awesome. Unfortunately, our server looks like she wasn’t happy to be there at work, she looks grumpy not sure what is going on with her, maybe she needs a new job. But the person who brought our food is very nice and another server comes check on us also very nice too.“

“Great place, decent music, and Anita is the best bartender ever!!!“

“The service was impeccable, and the food was great“

“The management at this location is top notch. The food is craveable and the service is next level.“

“The food and service is always good, I was wondering what is their signature dish? And has the restaurant had a food critics review? I love you read it! See you soon Casa de Bandini!“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“I came in on a busy Wednesday night. My server, Brendan, was incredible. Great personality, very charming, and the way his pants fit him blew my mind. Made me wish I was young again watching him walk around the restaurant. The food was delicious and watching him worked up my appetite. I had two amazing prime rib dinners back to back but I would not, could not, take my eyes off of Brendan’s tight pants. He told me he would see me next Wednesday night, I will be there!“

“Great place to watch games and drink some beers! Huge selection of beers, some of the best wings I’ve had and the burgers are great too! All the servers and bartenders make sure our drinks are full and we are taken care of!
Awesome place for the SuperBowl if you want to go out - they accommodated our party without a problem! Cool tablets on the tables to order beer without the need to hassle the servers“

“One of my favorite breweries in all of SoCal! The beers are always on point and the tap room is a great spot to chill and taste what’s new (or what’s always good). I always stop by when I’m in San Diego and grab some cans to bring back up to LA.“

“Their patio is dog friendly!! Thats all I needed to know. Brought my golden retriever and they brought him a bowl of water immediately. I sat outside with chips, guac, and a michelada. The guac is chunky which I love and plenty of lime. It was perfect for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Love supporting businesses that love dogs. We will definitely be back for more patio hangs.“

“What else can I say?? I’ve been twice on Saturdays and it’s an amazing atmosphere all day long! Strong drinks, friendly staff, great music from the bands and DJs, and it’s PACKED outside and inside!“

“Here, in this restaurant, you will find delicious food if it Is for breakfast or dinner and the price of each plate will vary depending on what you do order.If you are a member of IHG Rewards Club, then please charge everything to your room because that's the only way for you to accumulate hundreds of points so that you can get free nights, free merchandise or free airline tickets.“

“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.“

“We are tourists visiting the area and made reservations for this restaurant for 5:30 on 3/24/26. We arrived at the restaurant at 5:26 and after we checked in with the young lady at the front desk, were told we were too early to sit at our table and that we could either go to the bar or sit outside until she would come and get us, really?? At 5:33 our phone buzzed and someone other than the hostess came and got us, taking us to a table but not the high top we had reserved. The restaurant was maybe a 1/4 full when we arrived and only one of the high top tables had customers. We were disappointed with how we were treated by this young lady, made us feel like we were unimportant to your company. Disappointed that we didn’t get to sit where we made the reservation also. We had great service and food once we were seated.“

“First timer ... Love the food and rhe Bloody Mary's!! what made the place and will be coming back for sure .. is the atmosphere ... very friendly inside and out and they welcome all 4 legged friends and how they are treated when welcome in. 🐕“

“best fish taco ive ever had :) very reasonable. nice staff“

“We love coming here (Austin TX location) - it's clean, quick and nice service. Love the seats and swing tables. The restrooms are usually clean and in working order. However, I hate the per ticket fee - $9 extra for 4 tickets.“

“There’s a lot of bad reviews and people complaining in these reviews but don’t be fooled everything we ate was delicious. We had a cheese pizza, citrus chicken and chicken Caesar salad. Food came to the table within 5 minutes of ordering. It was very fresh, everything was very flavorful and bigger portions. We ate here on Christmas night when it was crazy busy and we still had amazing service. Erick our server was great and friendly. It is pricey but if you are staying at this hotel and spending $500+ a night I think it would be expected that the food isn’t going to be cheap. I was very skeptical of eating here because of the reviews so I hope this helps someone out.“
