Good club if you just like to turn up and drink. Nothing fancy whatsoever about it, time to get down and dirty.

I posted on yelp about my experience but they keep taking it down Robert is a bartender he used to give me free drinks for five years and now that my sister didn’t want to talk to him anymore (mind me my sister is his daughters age), he made false reports to police about my family and was harassing me and my sister I used to love this place but he made us very uncomfortable

As of today, we are proceeding with legal action against The Alley Carlsbad in small claims court, with the strong likelihood of escalating this matter to a criminal trial should further evidence support such a course of action. Given my family's long-standing legal practice in San Diego, I am well aware of the gravity of the violations at hand. The wrongful ejection of my son Aaron by security guard Jose, the establishment’s failure to protect patrons from acts of violence, and the blatant disregard for California Civil Code 51 (Unruh Civil Rights Act) and 1714 (Negligence and Premises Liability) constitute an egregious breach of legal duty. Furthermore, the demonstrable negligence of owner Mark DeRoze in failing to rectify this injustice or even extend the courtesy of a response to Aaron, as DeRoze resides directly above the establishment, is not merely unethical but legally indefensible. I, too, intend to pursue litigation against DeRoze personally for his failure to maintain a safe and non-discriminatory environment. The silence from management in the wake of law enforcement and paramedic intervention underscores a fundamental disregard for both legal and moral responsibility. It is nothing short of a dereliction of duty that DeRoze has not directly addressed this incident, and his refusal to do so is a testament to both his cowardice and his liability. He would do well to recognize that negligence and discriminatory practices carry severe legal repercussions, and I assure him that the courts will hold him to account.

Was in the Beautiful Coastline city of Carlsbad and thought I would drop in and grab a drink and soak in some good old Northwest County atmosphere at what I thought was a local watering hole. Discovered it was karaoke night although there were not very many patrons and I figured out right away why. The music that the karaoke host was playing in between singers made me feel like I was in South Central LA or Oakland more so than carlsbad. It's like, can we go anywhere without hearing songs about violence and drugs and hoes?

I used to go there in the late 90's and early 2000s...they had music seven nights a week and no cover...I gave the bartender a beating in the patio area after he grabbed my arm...unfortunately there were three cops outside.

Extremely crowded and overly loud. If you’re over 25 I wouldn’t go to this dirty, musty, unventilated club.
