15 Best Bar & Grill near Solana Beach

“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.“

“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.“

“Best in the city for vegan white pizza!! I was super exhausted to cook one day and decided to look for a vegan pizza place and oh my, this was the best place I ever tried! I called barely 5-10 minutes before closing but they were so nice they stayed back an extra 15 minutes after their closing time to make sure I got my order! (When I say I was exhausted, it was an under statement so it TOTALLY made my day!!) I am soooooo waiting to go back next week with friends! The pizza was nice and fresh, delicious and for someone that doesn’t like artichokes or olives, on this white pizza they were soooo GOOOOOOODDDDDDD! I a full hundred percent recommend this place.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“I would rate the overall experience at 10Excellent food great location, friendly staff, I had the fish taco plate with the best shrimp taco ever and I worked my way through both types of fish breaded fish taco was excellent as well. A friend had the burger and it was excellent. Patti looks better than average, so did the fries.We highly recommend this placePlus, they just expanded the size so now it’s twice as big! Without suffering, the quality of service or food. ServiceAdrienne, no I’m gonna ask her yeah we want to give you a good review but I wanna make sure I had your name right how Was our server, and she was great“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great spot right on the cove close to water front. Huge menu with many eating options. Somehow they make every dish delicious even they offer like 200 different things. Pizza is budget friendly and delicious. They used tomato chunks instead of sauce and it's great.“
