19 Best Bar & Grill near Encinitas

“Great local spot and my go to dive bar to watch sports and enjoy bar food. They have wing wednesday and my top picks are there philly cheesesteak with fried green beans, lemon pepper dry rub wings, and the bratwurst. Service is unique and puts a fun twist on letting you know your order is ready with funny names. Cant go wrong with any if their beers on the wall, i typically go with the #15 or #22 hazy beer“

“Having fun and cheap drinks at a landmark before it gets redeveloped.Good bless Jerry for all of the amazing things that has done for his employees and the locals of Encinitas.And the food is on point, it is not a fast food joint..Thank you Jerry for all you have done for my family and this community.“

“You cannot get closer to the ocean than here, and what a fantastic place to be. If you can get on the patio near sunset, you are in for an incredible evening. On top of the view the service and food are exceptional. You can never go wrong at PCG!“

“Regardless if you eat at the bar or the dining room- the food will be wonderful. I like to get a bar reservation when I'm in the mood for their unique sushi. I'm always treated to the freshest plates and epic service! The dining room is more limited. A three course dinner and an upscale atmosphere. You really can't go wrong. The Market is a place I frequent regularly.“

“Nice casual place. Order at the front and they bring your food on your table. I had their carnitas with meal. Delicious. Very busy during weekends. Lots of takeout waiting. Take advantage of their daily happy hour. Great staff. Super friendly. Good selections of desserts.Cheers“

“Pillbox had good reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Solid slightly above pub grub style food, good beer selection and friendly staff. Can’t go wrong. Really liked the overall feel of this place, and would be a regular if I lived in the area.“

“Both the Turkey Club and the Salmon Burger were amazing. The fries however were overcooked. Great portion size and great cut for the fries, just sat a bit too long in oil. The atmosphere and service is great. Prices are adequate for the area.“

“This place has totally transformed and they serve really great food (the food has always been amazing but the ambiance is event better now)! We’ve had salads, corn, wings, burgers and sandwiches! We’ve brought our kids during the day, and it’s totally kid friendly. The owner, Pete, has been wonderful to us…we’ll keep on going for sure!“

“Just arrived in Carlsbad, and wanted late tea at 9.00pm. The Compass was recommended for serving good grub and drinks for grown ups, which it duly delivered really well. Welcome & service was attentive, food was prompt and hit the spot, good value too. Atmosphere on a Tuesday night was quiet, but it is Tuesday! Nice that even with background music, we could hear ourselves & chat comfortably. Thank you, and would definitely recommend.“

“What's not to love about this place? Talk about a hidden gem. You can tell the staff enjoy being there as much as the patrons who are always laughing and sharing stories. They have a great selection of beers and other drinks to choose from, DO NOT eat elsewhere as their menu has made from scratch hand crafted options. I highly recommend their chicken tortilla soup, the wings, or their rib dip.“

“Stopping here was not planned but pleasantly surprising. We were playing billiards across the way and the crowd drew me in. Tuesday night seemed to be hopping and I wanted to know why. Not only is it a stunning establishment- I love the luxurious yet minimalist & clean Tex-mex decor. They have an awesome 80s cover band, a decent crowd and most of all, good vibes. Looking forward to returning.“

“Had a great blue burger, truffle fries, whiskey coke, live music with lots of seating and standing space. My server, Coco, was the greatest and found me inside it outside mingling to make sure I was all good.So many friends attended the event, had dinner and enjoyed the night.Parking: A section is reserved for performers.“

“Right on the water — great location. It was a Sunday night, so not busy at all. Our server (Chris) was excellent! Salmon was a little overcooked, but still tasty. Brussels Sprouts were some of the best I've ever had. Overall pleased with our decision to try it out; we'll go back again.“

“Had a nice lunch here. First time visit. We sat in the back area since we were a large group. Our waitress was attentive. The food was good. I think I will visit this place the next time I am in town with my brothers who would probably like it. It was the perfect place for a large party but I would like to see what it is like with just a few people having a drink and a bite to eat. They say the atmosphere in the regular area is very comfy. So next visit, I will be back. 8/7/23“

“Loved the pizza! We had several different varieties and they were all good! Delicious! The salads were amazing, I loved the basil flavor of one of the salads. Also, I don't drink alcohol but they had a Heineken 0% alcohol, was out of this world tasty would recommend it. Thank you you guys for having this alternative beer . Great place!“

“This is my new go to place in Carlsbad. The food, drinks, and staff are all top notch! HH every day at 3:00pm, open for breakfast and will stay open late as long as there are people in the bar. If you haven't been here yet - you're missing out - just don't take my spot at the bar!!“

“When we arrived we found there to be a bit of a line for checking in on a Monday evening however once we got to the front and Rebecca helped us we forgot all about the wait. She was so thoughtful, thorough and professional in explaining everything to my mom and I. My mom is recently been having to use a wheelchair and Rebecca was so intuitive that she asked my mom if she might need some other medical devices to make her stay more comfortable. We didn’t even know they had these things available and they were already waiting for us when we got to the room. Shower chair and toilet riser. The place was beautiful, large luxurious rooms with fantastic amenities. My mom said it was the most beautiful place she had ever stayed which brought tears to my eyes. The only thing I would suggest is more handicapped parking spaces. We had to park some dip from our from in the 61 building and with a wheelchair and luggage proved a challenge but again the only suggestion I would make. We stayed in the cove area and yes there was construction but I was only during the daytime and we were made fully aware prior to check in. As for the small amount of noise from Lego land we rather enjoyed hearing the beautiful laughter of happy families enjoying each others company while make memories.“

“Went to watch a college basketball game with friends and had an excellent experience. The place was busy but our waitress still gave us great service. The drinks came out very quickly but most of all the waitress was upbeat and fun. Our used dishes were removed right away. The whole wait staff worked together well and were so friendly. Food is good and they have a good happy hour.“

“The Grill was able to seat our large party of 11 adults and two toddlers. Service was excellent -- all staff was friendly and professional throughout our meal. Very pleasant guitar/singer. Great views of folks on the driving range & beyond. We ordered a variety of meals, drinks, and desserts and everything was very, very good.“
