Great spot in the heart of Carlsbad Village. Lots of outdoor space and super dog friendly. Lots of beers on tap and a nice elevated bar menu. The shrimp tacos i got were absolutely amazing and had a ton of meat in them. Bartender was on point and good conversation was had by all!
Surf and turf fries did not disappoint! Shrimp cooked to perfection and the flavor combo was absolutely unbeatable. The service was great, fast and friendly. Loads of seating inside and outside. Tons of beer on tap. Very clean, even in the bathrooms. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area.
It was a really great place for any and all ages. For a place that has a fair amount of advertisements for UFC and doesn't play the main card (2/21/26)... was quite disappointing.
Had a chance to visit here when we were in the area, apart from the cashier who could not be bothered, the rest of the staff were excellent! the bartenders were friendly and quick to educate me on local beer. we had the ribs and shrimp tacos, neither disappointed. They make the best brussel sprouts ever!!!!! do not forget your order you will be glad you tried them. Great place for you to pop in with the kids to have some great food and awesome craft beer, there is a 21 plus area upstairs if kids is not your thing. I highly recommend if you are in the area.
Carlsbad central! Great to catch a game, meet up and make friends. St Patties Day was special with a bag and pipe band
Watched the Bills game here as I believe they are a Bills Backers bar. Got there an hour early and we could find a seat, but anytime after that and we wouldn’t have been able to! Highly recommend the pretzel and the wings. Drinks were expensive but delicious.
Love this place, the vibe is always amazing, the bartenders and workers always are on top and have such a great attitude.
Went for a quick lunch bite after seeing this place the day before. The atmosphere is extremely inviting! The feel of a beer garden, sports bar and picnic all in one. Big giant screen shows sports while you order up an ice cold beer or some delicious food. We got the smashburger and I can tell you that it was one of the best I've had. The comeback sauce is what really brings this whole thing together! The onions are shaved super thin and you almost don't even notice them there with the exception of the great flavor. Our service was good and we didn't really want for anything while we were there. It really was just a quick stop but we both found ourselves wanting to stay longer or make a return trip. Great casual spot to feel comfortable and catch a game. Tons of options for seating and just has an overall great energy!
We visited PRK101 in Carlsbad mid-week, and the vibe was fantastic—busy and lively! There was even a host running a bingo game, and it had a really cheerful atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone under 35. For me, the volume was a bit much, but it fit the crowd. The food is fast-food style, again perfect for that younger demographic. Everything was excellent—great service overall. Kia in But one issue stood out: a young receptionist named Amaya was the worst receptionist I’ve ever encountered in any restaurant. I strongly suggest management either train her or find a way to get her performance under control. Also, I need to add this: There was someone named Kia, who I believe was the bartender behind the bar—extremely helpful. We asked for the heater to be turned on, and they went out of their way to get it running for us.
