“Justin was a wonderful host! We had a tour and explanation of all the products they produce. We were visiting from PA, our friend from Vista became a member. Highly recommend this establishment for the atmosphere as well as the libations.“

“Wife and I out on our date night stopped by prey and very much enjoyed the evening. The waitress was helpful and responsive. Tons of smiles and happy people here. The coconut fried shrimp was fantastic, the burger was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the tacos were super yummy. We will be back again soon.“

“Wow, what an unexpected gem! The speakeasy vibe is already cool (the decor is on pointe) but participating in the murder mystery game made it even better. 5 stars all around! Drinks were creative and tasty, food portions plentiful and delish, staff and customers alike were all awesome people. We will definitely be back! If you do the murder mystery, DRESS UP- totally adds to the fun.“

“Loving it! Awesome people!“

“My great grandmother’s brother was Matthew Henebery the whiskey baron of Peoria Illinois. He would be happy to see this I am sure“

“the best ! never disappointed“

“Spent an amazing birthday with my girlfriend's mother here and all our family.. the service was superb! The food was unreal and I have nothing bad to say about this place.. really absolutely nothing bad to say whatsoever.. but I didn't check the bathroom?? Lol.. no it was phenomenal!“

“Just had Dinner and Chris was the best. I usually have a chili cheese dog but today I ordered much more for my cousins and I. We all loved everything from the speed of service and friendliness of staff. Recommendations were on point. We will be coming in to watch some football!“

“Great drinks and authentic tacos.“

“Delicious, comfortable spot.“

“Better than some other bars where you have to mess about with credit cards, pay later, &c. Friendly bar staff. Decent pinot noir. Classic rock on the sound system: like most of Southern California, they haven’t progressed past the early 1970s, so much of the music is 50 years old!! Warning: not a drinker’s bar. Locals sip on kombucha while you’re sitting there getting slaughtered.“

“Casual spot with some of the best poolside food! The beer and tequila clams were some of the best I’ve ever had and my steak frites was cooked perfectly to medium rare. It typically comes with chimichurri but I couldn’t have that, so chef prepared a delicious garlic and herb compound butter for me instead. Thoroughly enjoyed how delicious my meal was and it was made all the better by great service and atmosphere. Attentive service from Zack and an all round fantastic dining experience with some fabulous views of the sunset.“

“Great place. Lively! Great music!“

“Stumbled on this place.months ago and it's become one of our favorite spots. Has the perfect little dive bar vibe but I can also get a nice cocktail with no hassle if that's what I'm feeling that night. Bar tenders are always cool. I'm not even a country fan really but it's a good time. Definitely recommend“

“excellent drinks & food.“

“Amazing service and amazing food in a perfect setting. Not only is the resort top notch but the food options are up there as well. One place in particular is Pacific Point which offers high top seating, bar seating, and a very comfortable outdoor space as well. My wife and I had an early dinner one evening in the bar area and our food was great. Also, the service was excellent as well. Our server was accommodating, answered any and all questions, and checked on us frequently. Definitely a great spot if you are looking for an amazing meal and service.“

“Great food. GREAT Drinks! Rebecca is awesome!“

“This is a staple in Carlsbad and it seems the people who have problems are expecting something different than what Golden Tee is or are a high maintenance problem themselves. This is a dive bar and it’s meant to be a dive bar. If you want something else, go to the village or a hotel bar. The bartenders here work incredibly hard, and deal with problematic people in a swift but courteous manner. The drinks are always poured correctly, the tab is always correct. They’re professional and I have never felt unsafe here even at night stopping in by myself. Both male employees with long hair and the bald Mexican guy have always been fantastic and take care of business. Recommend this place if you’re in a no frills, calm mood just looking to be comfortable. Great job, guys!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our visit for the first time. The food was delicious and the cocktails were amazing! Our server was delightful and so was the ambiance. So happy to have more options for fine dining in the area.“

“Best burger I've had in a very long time. Fries are amazing too! For the same amount you would spend at McDonald's you could come to Hamburger Hut a w and get way better quality food. I was shocked at how low the prices were. A burger, fries and a drink cost me $14.“

“Great food and great service from a very friendly and attentive staff! Had an awesome date night! Our first time here but won’t be our last.“

“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!“

“The Pour House became one of my favorite bars! The food is great and not too expensive! The staff works hard and makes you feel welcome! Great spot for live bands and always good vibes! Never had problems parking but for that smashburger i would walk 500 miles and 500 more hahaha 📸🤓“

“Great food and service!! Try the Brussels. You won’t regret it.“

“Our waiter Spencer was excellent. Always checked in on us and was super knowledgeable. The restaurant was beautiful and everyone was kind.“

“The place is awesome but the guy running the pool table (Austin) that doesn't even work there runs the name list wrong. If a person is on the table, their name should not be on the board. That should not be going on since the list is long and people ate waiting to play.“

“We had a group of ten gals for a book club get together. We were able to sit outside where it is quiet and we could discuss the book easily. Our server was so attentive with both our drink and dinner orders. The bar menu had something for everyone. Was a fabulous night thanks to the staff at Bar Traza.“

“The kid working the front counter was very professional and polite“

“It was amazing we are going to come back“
