When someone recommends a bar for fresh caught seafood pasta and homemade posole you can't help but react with genuine skepticism. Fortunately now I can be the one to see the faces of skeptical people because this food was good! Other positives: The food and drinks...Read More

I had the best time last night! I went in solo and ended up staying for hours, because everyone from the employees to the locals were super friendly. Some dude named Michael floating around talking to everyone is an absolute legend and the new waitress...Read More

I did have the pleasure of their breakfast, which I rarely order breakfast, but darn, it was that amazing. Again, I am not a breakfast person. The eggs were perfect, the hash browns were perfect, and I tried the gravy/biscuit (incredible) plus they...Read More

I had a turkey/avocado sandwich that was great. Wonderful, thick sliced, moist turkey. Onion rings sweet with light, crisp batter. Thought this was going to be typical hole in the wall bar food, but it was great. Service attentive and respectful....Read More

What a great place to stop in for a delicious and inexpensive breakfast. Go Tuesday morning 7-12 for the best service by Sutton, and great coffee that just keeps coming. If you like Bloody Mary's hers are the best. They serve...Read More

Grand Avenue Bar & Grill has got to be the most nondescript bar I've ever seen. No flashy signage, no blaring music and not in the heart of the village. A cool little divey bar. We enjoyed great service and cheap drinks....Read More

Great value and very friendly service! Girl at the bat could help us choose a beer, which was great. Go for the Fish and chips or the chilli with garlic bread. Definitely Worth a visit!

My favorite local/dive bar. The place is a hidden gem for wings and great prices in beer. On the weekend, if you're looking for a semi-mellow venue to drink and laugh this is the place. Great place to come and watch sports as they have...Read More

Rj is great and so is the rest of the crew. Great service and what a fabulous outdoor venue they have. It was the perfect spot to enjoy delicious food while watching the Dodgers win the World Series.

Local hang out. Low key atmosphere. Good food and drinks. Good outdoor section if you rode your bike or brought your dog. Plenty of televisions to watch sports.

Wow, finally found a dive bar in Carlsbad that I can get behind. Plenty of space to belly up to the bar, reasonably priced drinks and food, and TVs everywhere with sports playing. This is like a throwback bar that doesn't overcharge and gives you...Read More
