Negative reviews. To begin with I am 31 years old. The bartender took my ID and proceeded to pass it around the bar asking other bar patrons for their expert opinion. After finally retrieving my ID and getting the scanner out, she slammed my ID down and said “I think it’s fake but it will pass this time”. The customer service here is shameful and they should have their liquor license revoked.

Terrible bouncers on a power trip. Wouldn’t give my ID back or let me close my tab. Careful with your ID if you want to enter this place. Avoid this spot

Not expecting much....moscow mule with no vodka .....but is it too much to ask for full rack of balls to play pool for $1 rack? A disappointing place all things considered.

My boyfriend and I went here Saturday night at about 1130pm. While it was busy we did get our drinks pretty quick. Maybe a less than 5 minute wait. The security and bartenders were nice. We got vodka cranberries and they tasted good. We are not from Carlsbad but we felt welcomed here.

We will come back in the future.

WORST CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Come here if you want to be treated like garbage. I just moved here a few weeks ago and my friends from out of state came to visit me. I am 22, my friends are both 21 about to turn 22, and the bartender wouldn’t take our ID’s. These are REAL state issues Washington driver’s licenses. The bartender took my license and looked over it for 5 minutes, almost snapping it in half at one point. He shook his head and said he wouldn’t serve us because he thought ours were fake. One of my friends even had her passport and he still wouldn’t serve us. At this point I was so upset and on the verge of tears that I told my friend “let’s just go, I don’t want to be here”. The bartender heard that and yelled at us in front of anyone “You don’t wanna be here? Then leave!” We were absolutely humiliated and he almost didn’t give our ID’s back. Crazy how I’m a 22 year old with a full LEGAL ID and this dude still wouldn’t serve me a drink simply because of my looks. Don’t go here if you’re young and from out of state because you will be treated like straight up trash. Especially if you’re a woman.

I would give a zero if I could. Incredibly rude bartender. I came in with my friends and we gave the bartender our IDs. He examined the first one for about two minutes, then said he couldn’t accept it. We asked if he could scan our IDs to prove they were real, and he said they don’t have a scanner. I instead said that I had my passport, and offered him that. He would not accept that. My friend asked if he could at least get a coworker to double check. He would not give us back our IDs and told us we needed to leave. We threatened to call the police, as we needed our STATE ISSUED IDs before we left. He then said “you don’t wanna be here? Fine. Get out.”

If you are from out of state, don’t go here. They will treat you terribly. The only way we got our IDs back was by threatening to call the cops.

My daughter was just humiliated in front of many customers at this establishment, saying she was not 21. She had her friends with her as well, and one even had a passport to verify her age. My daughter left crying from the embarrassment. When I tried to call here to ask why she was treated this way, the mailbox was full, and there was no way to contact anyone. How horrible! She’s never, ever been talked to this way! Ruined her night, and this will be a long-lasting memory I’m sure she’d love to erase!

This was a surprisingly chill bar right on the edge of the village, right across the street from the Coyote Bar and Grill. We couldn't get in over at Coyote so we took our large group over to Boar Cross'n. We were able to get drinks at the bar without too long of a wait and got seats at the bar and at a couple of the small tables near the bar. It was definitely a younger crowd then the usual Carlsbad 40s and 50s. This place attracts more of a 20s-30s crowd probably due to the couple of pool tables and more of a dive bar feel. It's nicer than the Kraken though, so not that divey. ?
