Grand Avenue Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Carlsbad

This is a dive bar. That's not a criticism. I love a good dive bar. While it is a dive bar, it's not a nasty dive bar. It's kinda small but it has outdoor seating. The servers are great (HI Amy). There are sports on the TVs, so it's sports bar-ish. There are a lot of locals which means it's not a tourist spot, which also means that you should come here if you're a tourist.

The beer is not expensive. Six dollar Modelos? Yes, please. The food is great. It will surpass your expectations. Also, you get a lot for your money. I got a plate of cajun chicken on linguine and I couldn't finish it. I took it home. I went back and got half an order of nachos, and it too was a huge serving.

I'm visiting Carlsbad and I've only checked out the G spot, so I have to check out at least a couple of other bars. But I'll probably end up back...

This is one of the best places in the entire world! Whether you're eating and/or drinking, the crowd is always fantastic, and all of the employees are absolutely awesome! It caters to locals, tourists , and everyone in between.

The pricing is well beyond fair, and the food is always really good! The kitchen staff have been there for decades which shows what type of awesome place this is.

The owner is one of the nicest people in the entire world, and it shows with how they've been so great for over 30 years now.

If you have other places to go, scratch that, and cruise to The Grand Avenue Bar and Grill. Good food, awesome people, a jukebox, and probably one of the funnest times...

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. We didn't order food, but we were tempted to! Inside the unassuming walls it is reminiscent of an Elks lodge not your typical bar and grill. When our friends told us they had found the G Spot at first we didn't believe them. We were proven wrong, the G Spot does exists! Photo of Grand Avenue Bar & Grill - Carlsbad, CA, United...
