Perfect for kids w all the games and even golf simulator. I’m not a beer person so I can’t tell you how good the beer is but I enjoyed my meal w coworkers!

I think servers/bartender are the ones running the show, no mgmt on site whenever we go (granted is usaully on Sunday). The bathrooms are dirty, no paper tower holders, horrible smell. Service is subpar with the exception of the girl behind the bar which was very nice to us after the male bartender barely ackwoledge us the whole time. The worse part is seeing that 5% surcharge; I'm sorry if you are tacking that one it better be good service. I left 14% tip so all together comes at 19%, which is too high for what we deserved. We'll keep trying but hoping to see more management step up and correct the staff attitude. Food is pretty good though (except the sliders!)

Had a nice time. Friendly server, good food had the sliders. Great combo cheese burger, pull pork and chicken with coleslaw. A salad and Fries. And don’t forget about the beer on tap, can’t decide orders sampler.

We stopped here on Easter Sunday and were pleasantly surprised they had happy hour specials that day. We ordered the burger and beer special on happy hour. They let us choose any burger or sandwich from the menu, a choice of 3 beers and you also get a small salad and order of fries. It was well worth the $22. The fries were amazing. My only complaint is that the beer was slightly flat and the Philly cheesesteak was a bit dry and lacked cheese.

Came here after Legoland and were highly impressed! Food was awesome, tons of TVs, and games for the kids. If we lived nearby, this would be a staple of ours for sure.

I'm surprised with the bad service of the Bartender at the bar...that's a huge red flag for a restaurant & bar that made a large investment to do ir right ☝?

The staff was extremely friendly and prompt with service. When my glass ran low I was immediately asked if I wanted another. The mushroom and gouda pizza was outstanding!

What a great place place for some food, some beer and some fun. Amazing bar with a ton of taps. TV’s all over. Excellent, friendly and attentive staff. The food is great from the sausage platter appetizer to the loaded brisket fries and the amazing short rib melt (one of the best sandwiches i’ve had in a long, long time). Great for large groups. Excellent.

Hastrolled into a spot feeling both excited and hopeful? I have, and it's right here in Carlsbad! Awesome games, chill vibes, top-quality food, and a spanking selection of beers! Our server? Nothing short of a marvel. Lend the mac & cheese serlion a whirl, you're belly's gonna cheer! Closing time's a darn bummer though, ain't it?

You know that feeling when you want a chilled beer but you've also got the kids? I found the perfect spot in Carlsbad! Kid-friendly check, fantastic choices of draft beers double check, and tasty food triple check. The team there catered to us like we were the VIP's of the day. Jaw-droppingly big TV screens for full sports immersion, loads of video games to keep the kids and me entertained, and the ample space meant no stepping on toes.

This was my second time here at Draft Republic- and I enjoyed every second of it, because of my server, Mia! She was fabulous and quick! She carried such a great vibe and really made my experience here amazing. Would come back because of her.

The embodiment of Mediocrity. The food is priced at around $20 for an entree and $10 for a kids grilled cheese but nothing had any taste out of the 4 dishes I tasted. I would go elsewhere next time. Needs a chef with taste
