My fiancé and I absolutely love Park 101. One of our favorite Friday night dates is finding the perfect spot upstairs, ordering a couple of shrimp tacos and their delicious coconut strawberry margaritas, and watching the sun set over the Coast Highway. If you haven't been here yet you're missing out. We will forever be fan favorites of this place..plus, their staff is always so personable and friendly. We Park 101! read more

My first time visiting park 101 was great, loved the atmosphere, had some delicious cookies and the bartender Amanda was great too, 10 out of 10 service. read more

Park 101 is my favorite bar in Carlsbad. The service is super fantastic. Amanda is a fabulous bartender.

Love the open air feel of this restaurant. Very chill and tons of seating. You have option of sitting indoors or in the open. I highly recommend going to at dusk when the sun is starting to go down. Easy to order drinks and food in a casual environment. The drinks were on point and the food was decent. I ordered the Cobb Salad which I also highly recommend. It was fresh, tasty, and chicken was well seasoned. Of course a side order of seasoned fries is a must. You pay at the bar and can have your receipt emailed, texted, or printed. In this day and age, I made the mistake of getting a printed receipt and with my luck lost it...LOL. I emailed the restaurant and in less than 10 minutes one of the managers called me and emailed my receipt right away. Amazing customer engagement. I am in awe of their response time and efficiency. Well done Park 101! read more

Walked in on Monday at 8:30. Was told the kitchen had already closed. When I said " oh the internet said 9:00." She said yeah we decided to close early. Honestly this is the same service we have had the last 2 times. They are always out of food and they are unable to hold condiments off the Mac and cheese and similar issues. If I'm being honest this place is poorly run by young kids what couldn't care less about the business success. read more

Coming from a guy from North Carolina, they have the best pulled pork sandwich in San Diego County. The Carolina mustard sauce is on point!

Yikes! As an owner of a sports bar, It's hard to give this place a one star. But the service is not even a thing, and that's just sad. I wouldn't even order food because the staff is so rude. Maybe I'm not "cool" enough. It was wild. Everyone is clueless. What a disappointment as it came recommended. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Premium lobster bites that live up to the hype. The rolls were PACKED with lobster and the fries were LOADED with deliciousness. The rolls were a lil pricey but definitely worth it. read more

We don't love coming here because it's really expensive for meh food and drinks. We do come anyway because it's one of the only spots with a ton of room for our nieces to run around and with the outdoor seating, it's super dog-friendly. We usually get food from the lobster shack window and bring it to the outdoor seating. Last time we were here, they were also playing super loud rock music. I love rock, but it was really killing the vibe and was weird. Don't really recommend, but sometimes it's our only option. read more

Alicia was the best server hands down. She stayed aware when we needed anything. The food is great especially the BBQ

Friday at 2pm and not too busy. Parking was easy to get and if there isn't near, can easily walk to it from beach and Carlsbad village with a nice scenery. Had "The Chick" and the Pulled Pork Sando. Good selection of beers. Flavor was great. Hot lemon pepper sauce had a small kick but mainly flavor. Not recommended for those who are not in favor of spice. Pulled pork was packed with flavor and a generous portion of meat. Fries come crisp as I like and the season was great. A great place and the roof top has a great view and would like to see how this gets during the night. Definitely coming back. Happy hour at 3pm and the drinks are well poured. The service was great as well and food came out quick and staff is welcoming. Big screen on first floor next to the Garden Pub will be great for sport enthusiasts as they play sports on it. read more

I see why Park 101 is a popular party place in Carlsbad Village. It's at a very convenient location. It has multiple comfortable lounge areas and game areas in the complex. And on the second floor, you can find some fantastic views. So is it worth the wait (in line, especially on weekends)? If you're looking for a fun bar to party at, this is the place. I ordered one of their frozen margaritas, and I enjoyed it in the outside lounge area. And all around me, I could see many more customers enjoying themselves throughout the complex. If you're looking more for a nice restaurant, or even for a mellower bar experience, you might want to look elsewhere. I was vibin' when the DJ was spinning tracks. But if you're particularly noise sensitive, just keep in mind that this bar tends to be a little more on the loud/rowdy side. read more

Looks like Park 101 has taken over Maine Lobster now called The Trap Shack. Ordered over $40 worth of food and got two chowder bowls only 1/4 full and three tiny pieces of fish. Totally unacceptable and a ripoff. Ruined a great spot / menu. read more

Drinks are okay and the fries are good but the chicken fingers are a joke! The chicken fingers are pounded out to less than a half inch, breaded, and served like pieces of pizza crust! The chicken was dried out and the crust burnt. I don't know how they can serve something like this and call it food. 2 stars for good fries! read more

Great social spot. Gets a little rowdy during games but I like that personally. Good for the whole family and great food. Definitely recommend the pulled pork . read more

Really wanted to give this place a better rating but I can't. The place is nice, fancy and excellent for kids and pets. With so many things to do to keep busy such as cornhole toss, Jenga and Connect 4. An excellent place to have a drink or two or three or four at the bar or by the fire pit. It is not a place to eat if you are hungry and I'll explain... My wife and I ordered the two meat plate and sandwhich. Both tasted good and were huge. They honestly could have been shared. The problem is that it took an hour and a half to get our food!!! Had the staff been honest with us to begin with I wouldn't have been upset. Even better, we were here to celebrate my cousin's birthday. The birthday celebrant was upset due to the slowness of getting the food. So we just kept buying drinks. At one point, they ran out of syrup on their Dr. Pepper. We brought a significant amount of business which they were not prepared for and it showed. Staff was running around trying to determine where food was to be delivered. The kitchen ended up closing temporarily so guest were forced to grab food from other establishments. The taco shop bext door, the Board and Brew and SupZero Ice Cream. Kuddos to the bartenders and food runners, they were working hard and kept checkin in on us. The kitchens staff needs help ASAP! Park 101 has a great location and ambiance, they need to make adjustments to make sure the food matches to par otherwise they'll continue to miss out on additional revenue. Hopefully by the next time I visit, they will already have turned things around. read more

Great place to watch the padres game. Food was good and drinks were on par. Emily was a great server. 10/10

Went upstairs but there was no one to take our order. So we went downstairs & had someone seat us with a number and still no service. Had to go to the bar to order. Once we got our food, I was told the lemon pepper sauce has a buffalo base so it was spicy. If I am expecting a non spicy lemon pepper sauce, I do not expect buffalo to be in it. Manager was nice but the service & sauce expectation was really disappointing. Also I was going to order the nachos but had no idea what cowboy caviar was so I passed on it. An asterisk explaining what it was would have been nice as I would have ordered that instead. Overall it had more negative experiences than pros for me here. read more

Friday night and the rooftop bar is closed by 8 PM with a full crowd upstairs? We ordered food and sat upstairs anyway on the only open table which happened to be dirty. I asked the security guard standing in close proximity if he or he could inform someone else to come clean it and imagine this..he walked off like he was above his job and proceeded down the stairs to play on his phone. read more

It been awhile since I've been here, but still love the atmosphere. Great chill spot to unwind hangout with friends and have some drinks. I really liked their fries and was planning to order them til I saw that they had jacked up the price from $4 to $8! And couldn't get myself to ever spend $8 on just fries. I did however really enjoy my drink which was the smoke show. Wow! Flavorful and had a nice kick. Definitely will comeback for another one of those. read more

I heard about the 3 lobster tacos for $10 on Tuesdays so I decided to give it a shot! I was going to be good and have the tacos and a water and roll out. As I was walking to the restroom after placing my order, I caught eyes with the bartender at the garden pub. Found out her name was Mina. I fell in love and drank two ponytail amber ales. She was very sweet and beautiful . Although the tacos were the best thing I have ever tasted, Mina's authentic personality made the entire experience thoroughly enjoyable. I don't mind if she friend zones me, I'll be drinking ponytails and chowing down on lobster tacos for the rest of eternity. Thanks park 101. -casey read more

Let me start with the good, the food tastes good. Now the bad: overpriced, terrible service (had to remind our server several times that we ordered kids meals and a soda (never got this). Also never got the sauce we ordered. They charge a service fee of 5% which is ridiculous. What is that even for?? We tipped 20% and then found that out. Menu is Very limited, very expensive for what it is, and very small portions. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! waited over an hour for a table for them to put me in the worst spot possible. We were tucked away in some corner on the inside with it loud as can be with my newborn and a puppy. Asked the host to switch spots and I was told I would have to wait another 1hr+. People that came later than us got better seating which is absolutely ridiculous. Food is average at best and drinks are VERY over priced. Went here for the football game bc they have the only outdoor seating with a huge tv but was a huge mistake. With only being able to go out once a week for dinner we were more than disappointed and ruined the whole day. Definitely won't be coming back. Wasn't the first time we have had a bad experience here. Btw was not a reservation that got seated before us but thanks for the reply I guess ha. read more

Great venue when the weather is good. Used to be a pottery outlet and has no roof so you are literally outdoors.

We had such a wonderful time here! Excellent food, dog friendly, and great service. The manager was so accommodating to our needs with 2 little kids, and a big dog. He made us feel welcome and treated us like old friends. We ordered the kids hamburger, the dog patty, shrimp ceviche, the pork and brisket tacos, and 2 margaritas. All of it was delicious, we'll definitely be back! read more

We live in San Diego, but have friends who live in North County, so we decided to meet up for the Padres game here at Park 101. Thought it was a good spot with lots of TVs, drinks and food. Things were great, they turned the main big screen to the Padres vs Braves at game time. However, right in the middle of the bottom of the second inning, the TVs changed to basketball commentary. No notice to anyone, no nothing. Just changed in the middle of play. The hostess was apparently approached by "people" and asked to change the feed, which she just decided to do. This bar was specifically listed as a place to watch Padre games. We were met with "it's game 7 of playoffs". Last I checked, San Diego doesn't have any basketball teams. But we do have a baseball team that we support and we thought Park 101 did too, but obviously they don't. The food was good, drinks were fine, but as locals, we won't ever be back and unfortunately won't recommend our local friends to come either. read more

Love this placeeeeee! PSA they do not serve hard liquor, so if you're looking for cocktails, this is not your place. So this place is made up of three different "restaurants" and a roof top bar. On the bottom level there is astroturf where a furry friend can be, picnic styled tables and one fire pit with sofa benches around and on top there's a bar with beers and margaritas. My favorite is their strawberry coconut margarita, it's a little expensive but for $16 you get a 16-24 oz margarita that tastes absolutely amazing, the strawberry is kind of acidic and the coconut is super rich and creamy. They have high bar stool tables and big sofa-like booth tables that are incredibly comfortable to sit at. I love this place, it is definitely more for a splurge night than a every weekend kind of thing but I love it! And great views of downtown and the sunset. read more

I wouldn't know. They were missing half the things on the menu! They told my daughter and I to seat ourselves and we waited for 30 minutes and never even received a drink order. Honestly I am speachless read more

More like 3.5... Dog friendly!! And kids... so many kids. Big play area with some life size games. Picnic tables on bottom floor. Super busy on a Wednesday night! Must be summer months. Order at bar and find a seat. Plenty of seats. Friendly staff even got a water bowl for our fur baby! But Food was okay. The bbq meat was very dry and bland. Needed more seasoning, but the smoke was good. Some bbq sauces were too sweet. A bit expensive. Lots of improvement potential. The dry rub wings were the best thing we had. Nice and crunchy and seasoned well. Cool place and location...would come back and grab some drinks with my fur baby! read more

I was here for a very small party on Friday evening and this place was busy! The restaurant is abiding by COVID protocols-there was plenty of space between the tables and mostly everything was outdoor seating. It's been good to see these types of business thriving during this pandemic. Anyway, we had the seasoned fries, a variety of chicken wings and the brussel sprouts-those brussel sprouts were like candy! Everything was delicious, the beer was great and atmosphere was fun! read more

First time here for my mother in laws birthday. Their lemon wings was the best thing we ordered. Probably some of the best wings we have had in a while. My sister in law ordered the pulled pork Mac and cheese. It had hardly no meat in it and for the price we thought the portion could have been better. My mother in law ordered the Tri Tip sandwich and fries and she liked it. I ordered the burger. It looks so good but was disappointing. The actual burger patty was the thinnest piece of meat and mainly all veggies. The burger Patty didn't even cover the surface of the bun. But flavor wise it was good. The Brussels sprouts are good too! Overall we enjoyed it and had a good time! read more

Its a cool chill spot, near the beach. I'd love to come back someday when covid is over with. It didn't have games and all that, like they had pre covid days. They had lounge spots with fire pits. Walk up bar with dangerous margaritas that I'm paying for deeply, today. They were delicious though (and expensive). They did go to smaller cups my friend said, but with the same price tag. Lame. They are enforcing mask policy and 2.5 hour limits. read more

We came in over 4th of July weekend during the pandemic, and I just wanted to review specifically their social distancing and related efforts. They put up partitions everywhere that are so stylish they look like permanent fixtures. Masks are required, and they added/spread tables out so everyone has plenty of room. Everything was very clean and they're doing modified open seating to ensure tables are cleaned before someone just goes and sits. The ordering process is slightly different, and frankly, a little confusing. There's the separate window for Maine lobster like usual, but now you go "inside" to order food and cocktails, and the outside bar is strictly for beer and wine. On Friday 7/3 the food/drinks line was LONG/slow (about 35 minutes). That may have been due to just the holiday weekend, but it's not worth it for just a drink, so order food and drinks together. Hopefully that part of the process can be improved, otherwise excellent job guys! read more

Last night I witnessed an adorable little dog get attacked and severely bitten by another dog inside Park 101. Blood was drawn and the attacking dog owner seemed almost gleeful by the attack. I just saw on Next Door that others saw this too and that the dog went after another dog in the parking lot. Unacceptable. Park 101 staffers did absolutely nothing to help the poor dog or its owner who were clearly traumatized. Being a dog lover I will never patronize Park 101 again and I encourage anyone in Carlsbad / San Diego who has or loves dogs to never again go to Park 101. They did absolutely nothing to help the customer or her dog. Shame. Pic of offending dog and owner. read more

Great for games! We loved watching our home team play in the championship on a big screen and easy-to-reserve group tables.

My husband and I went here for drinks and appetizers in September and were pleasantly surprised. The loud music made us think it might be a club, but there was also seating upstairs for those who just wanted to eat or hang out and not be involved with what was going on below. The view here is great and it's a fun place to people watch. The food and drinks all get ordered at a window, so the service isn't really our favorite part, but everything we had was delicious. read more
