WE USE TO LOTHIS PLACE! Not sure what has happened here at park 101 with all the changes but stop and go back to what it was. Walked up and had to be seated, (hostess was super nice) but never seen this before. It had always been first come first serve. She sat us inside and said someone would be with us shortly. After noticing only one waitress working and sitting over a half an hour watching others be greeted and served we ended up leaving. Overall very disappointed with the service and changes of this place. I can't feel good about leaving 1 star as most businesses thrive on reviews. I left three stars because I know this place is better than what it was tonight. The food is always good. Staffing should be better. read more

I stumbled upon this place just walking around and I was soo happy to find it! The bottom was really busy so I walked up the stairs to the top and it was perfect! The bar up there was empty, so I had my selection of mixed drinks to choose from and I still had the option to order food, so I ordered a huge salad that was soo good! I sat on a huge couch but then a table had opened with ocean views and an umbrella and I posted up there with my Kindle and ate and drank and was as merry as can be! I loved it here, I wish I had brought my husband, but I was also glad to just chill by myself and be perfectly fine ;D I would totally come again! read more

My husband wanted to explore the village since we live close by. Parking was difficult to find but excepted on a Saturday durning lunch. SERVICE - The way you order was cafeteria style. You grab a tray and then tell them what you want for food. The guy helping us was nice. FOOD Smoked Wings - We got the dry rub and they were good. Had a hint of sweetness to them. Park Sandwich w Tri Tip - I got this sandwich with tri tip on a sweet bun. The meat was very tender and it had a good rub to it. The bun provided the perfect amount of sweetness and it was so soft with every bite. The coleslaw added a nice refreshing crunch to the sandwich. The atmosphere was really chill and cute here. Good for families too! We would definitely come back for the sandwich. read more

The cups were nasty they had food stains and a lip stick print on 2 water cups Service wasn't good read more

Solid little place. My boyfriend and I were looking for a yummy casual-ish Saturday night dinner and Park 101 was perfect! We opted for the combo plate. It was the end of the night so they were out of chicken. We got the double tri tip and the girl totally charged us less because of the fact that they were out of chicken. So kind! We sat outside and enjoyed tri tip, Mac and cheese, and roasted veggies. Now for the bar, they have a cute outdoor barre on faux grass. Loud music, long tables, lawn games, fire pit, def a community feel! We ordered the cocktail of the month: raspberry blossom and it was delish! My bf had a raspberry margarita which was equally yummy. Overall I would totally back. I saw a cotton candy machine which I can only assume is used on the weekends or during the day - looks darling! One star less for plastic utensils and a long wait at the bar. read more

Been at that location for 5 years but it was the first time visiting. Location can't be beat. Love the roof top dining. Food was tasty and the wings and tri tip were the best. Loved the hard cider on tap. Cost is a bit higher than most but I thought it had to do with location. Good background music. Dog friendly! Parking is tight and the main reason I avoided this location. Now that I know the food is good, I will look for cloudy days to visit or off hours when parking is available. Very pleasant staff! We had brisket and tri tip tacos as well as the BLT. Wings and salad were very tasty. Try it you will like it! read more

I have been here a few times and my experience has always been great! I love coming here to have their cocktails. I love trying their sangrias! The smoke show is one of my favorite drinks! The location is great! Right by the beach! Parking can be hard sometimes but I just usually Uber here when I plan to have a night out in Carlsbad. This place is always the first spot my friends and I choice to hangout and order drinks. I believe they only serve alcohol till 11pm so keep that in mind if you plan to bar hop! Go here first! I really love their atmosphere, the lawn games, and the second floor balcony. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. This place is super spacious as well and that ocean breeze is great too! I also came here for my work holiday party which our company reserved the top deck for us! For any company or party looking for a place to rent out for drinks and food this is a great place! They had a buffet style set up which was really yummy and the upstairs bar was open for us to order our drinks. Again the upstairs is super cool, comfy seating, they have a section to sit around a fire, you can look up at the stars, and you get to see a view of downtown Carlsbad! This place is also dog friendly but only on the bottom floor. I hope to come check this place out in the day during the summer time! I heard their acai bowls are yummy! read more

Cool place to hang out that is very family and dog friendly. The music is blasting, lots of TVs to watch sports. The BBQ was pretty good as well. Got a watermelon mojito which was refreshing. We got the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches which were good. read more

I loved the seating area of this place! Right on Carlsbad Blvd you find this fun place that is super kid and dog friendly but also have yummy adult drinks! The food was pretty good although the prices are a little steep but that is to be expected since it is close to the beach. Hubby and I tried the BBQ Combo 3 with Brisket, 2 spare ribs, pulled pork, and our side was mac and cheese. The brisket was soft but a little too fatty for our preference. Ribs were smoked right and I liked that the sauce was on the side (wish there was more than 2 ribs though!) the pulled pork was not dry and was soft. Mac and cheese was ok and def not from a box We also got the shrimp ceviche which had nice flavoring but as you can see from the pic there were not many pieces of shrimp which is a bummer. The Chick sando was awesome! I opted for the dry rub and it was super good. Again prices were a little steep but I would come back again when I have someone visiting from out of town! Again love the atmosphere they have created to make it friendly for everyone! read more

Love this place. The best kind of vibes. Even with all this COVID crap going around, I really appreciate how much they put into being extra safe and contactless as much as possible.

My wife and I were standing in line at the bar. There was two other customers in front of us did you customers were taken care of the second was asked to come down to the other end of the bar to grab her beers. Then another customer came up and they took care of her. I asked if we were invisible. She says the lines Down here. That's when we walked out after standing there for 10 minutes. As we were standing there she kept looking at us like we were stupid or something. So we took our money somewhere else read more

We enjoyed the atmosphere and seeing all of the dogs too :) I ordered a spicy margarita, which I thought was delicious and my husband and I shared 1/2 lb of brisket, it was very tasty.

This place is a perfect location in the Village. Little bit pricey for what you get, but the overall atmosphere is excellent. I do think it's worth noting that I don't even think you can pay for their staff to crack a smile. They seem understaffed and unhappy about working there. read more

Sunny had excellent service at the bar , making an enjoyable and easy experience while ordering drinks with good recommendations. Thank you again! read more

I had mixed feelings about this place the first few times we visited, but now that they're more established I realized a new review was definitely overdue! We come here almost every week now and absolutely love it, we usually just stop in for a drink but occasionally I'll grab an açaí bowl If I'm around during the day and they're amazing! The coffee shop does seem understaffed and their hours are super wish washy, but when I catch them open I'm never disappointed. This is the best place to go in the village if you have kids and/or dogs and want to enjoy a drink, and they have lots of daily specials and late happy hour from 9-10 on the weekends! read more

PRK 101 - The acai cantaloupe bowl is a super cute idea, but in the end it was a pretty small bowl for the price - Beer Bar Near Me - Carlsbad, California

A few girlfriends and I met up for breakfast at Park 101. Place your order at the front window and seat yourself at the picnic tables. Unfortunately, service today was pretty slow. There were two baristas working and two acai bowls ordered after me came out before my order of toast. It wasn't even that busy! My friends and I got there a few minutes after opening. Nevertheless, I like this place. I've been here for a company holiday party, happy hour, and today breakfast with friends. I ordered a small black coffee and basic toast. It was delicious and not at all basic. The avocado was creamy and sprinkled with everything bagel-type seeds, a drizzle of lemon, and Tajin! A nice unique touch! My friends ordered açai bowls and said they were good! I'd come here again. Hopefully, the breakfast service will improve. I remember the bar service and dinner service were great. Dinner is served cafeteria style so grab a tray and work your way down the line. This place is also great for families/large parties. There's lots of seating and even giant connect four! My company rented out of top floor and it was so much fun! The view is the ocean isn't bad either! read more

This place has gone from great when it opened long ago to an absolute disaster. Service is awful, food is worse. The only thing that's still working is the location, which is hard to screw up by this train wrack of a management. It's become an outside sports bar. That's all. read more

Love this place and atmosphere! Had a great time with amazing friends, great food, and good drinks. I would've given you guys 5 stars if the food runner/busser with the hand brace tonight didn't have such a shitty attitude. Rude and condescending when I was as polite as possible. He barely even acknowledge us and pretty much tossed the things on the table. I could understand if it was busy, but he was dragging his feet to every table like there was no urgency, just bad customer service. read more

This is a unique review. I have not even had the chance to visit Park 101 and I need to put this out there. I was hoping to visit and plan on going out of my way to get there ASAP (I am from Los Angles). But circumstances preventing us from going the day we planned. Was looking for a kid friendly place to take the family for lunch, a place where the grandkids would have a little freedom and not be tied to a table. The pictures, descriptions and reviews seemed this is the place! A person asked in the forum if they took reservations and a Yelper answered yes, So I gave them a call. Turns out they only take reservations for eight or more (we were going to be five) Here is why I am leaving a five-star review before my visit, I spoke with Ryan, I believe he is the Manager. I explained the situation, people, everything. Even though they do not take reservations, for groups less than eight, Ryan was very friendly, took the time to talk to me and not just say no and hang up. Ryan answered all my questions and had a conversation with me, told me a bit about the place and how it would work for the grandkids. That he looked forward to seeing us and assured us even with a wait we would have a great time. If an inquiry call goes this well, how will the visit and food go?? Looking forward to getting there ASAP to enjoy this place in person!! read more

Don't come here for wine ....they pour horrible! Like I was a bartender I know exactly what a 6 oz pour is and a 9 oz pour is ....complained 2x....the waiter still brought me the same lame pour. Other then that, good vibes but don't come here to drink wine. read more

What a great new place here in Carlsbad... We went in and decided to get a drink and take in some people watching. We got a seat right up front and then went to the bar to get drinks. They do not have table service here. You have to go up and get your own drinks. That is not that bad because they get your drinks right away. We looked at some food but already had a big breakfast so we just did drinks. The beer was cold and the watermelon Mule was great.... The servers were so cool that took care of our drinks. They explained the drinks to me and it made it a lot easier to order. The people that were here during our visit were cool. A few kids were playing lawn games in the middle of the seating. The experience was a great one during our visit. I would recommend this place to everyone... The prices here are good. Easy in and out... Great views... read more

Ribs were absolutely TERRIBLE, and my friends bowl was missing the avocado, bland, & very poorly executed. How do you screw up a Buddha bowl? Maybe have a drink here, but DON'T EAT HERE!!! read more

Went on a Friday night. A nice casual open-air environment, but at the same time pretty packed and loud (at least downstairs), so not the best for conversation. It's seat yourself, and you can order either at the bar, or at this separate "cafeteria line" type area, and they'll bring your food out to you. Service time was average. But I got the Park 101 Burger and it was mediocre to poor. Parts of it were so charred it was essentially burnt (they never asked how well done I wanted). If the default is to cook it Well Done, they went a little overkill. The fries were perfect and crispy though. read more

PRK 101 - Tri-tip tacos BOMB!!!!! - Beer Bar Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Dog friendly in Carlsbad village- park 101 is a bar with food, perfect for small or large groups. Their beer and drink selection is really the selling point- tons of mostly local brews on tap and summery mixed drinks (like blackberry margaritas) all year round. The food menu is perfect bar snacks, but a little small if you're just going to eat. The vegetarian or vegan options are limited (but beer is vegan) Tons of dogs, picnic style seating, and good jams! read more

Not impressed. The ponto bowl was really good. Can't really say anything bad about a glob of good ole Skippy plopped on top of some frozen açaí. However, the service for the rest of the group was less than impressive. Some waited (what seemed like) forever for their items to be prepared and delivered. Others were just downright disappointed in the lack of breakfast food items in such a large establishment. Myself included. Oh, the iced tea tasted like dishwasher water. Blech! Step it up Park 101. read more

We like it. The idea is amazing. Pick and choose where you PARK yourselves depending if you have kids or not. Upstairs is adults only :) They do NOT have hard alcohol, but if you order something like a vodka soda, the bartenders will pretend they have a full bar and give you one of those disgusting faux-alcohol drinks and not tell you it's not real vodka, but you know as soon as you drink it and it tastes like gasoline. Get the FROSE' instead, do yourself a huge favor. Food has been good each time, have only had apps. We like the atmosphere. Upstairs. read more

Without A Doubt.....this is gonna be your next favorite restaurant/pub. Awesome environment. Open & Airy, fun atmosphere. Great, helpful and knowledgeable staff. BUT best of all is their most incredible menu. While the tri-tip was exquisite, I gotta give a shout-out to Momma-Z for her killer, to-die-for MAC-N-CHEEZ. To be honest, she could put Kraft out of business. Drop in there sometime. I promise you will love it. Let Momma-Z and the rest of their amazing team show you a good time. read more

Beachy Cobb $16. Ok dish with a tomato surprise. A bit pricey. If everything is farm to table, locally sourced, hand trimmed, and delicious then it's worth the price. Sadly the chicken was a bit dry and under seasoned and the dressing was eh. It was skin-on chicken breast so I was expecting it to be juicy. Chicken was VERY dry and overcooked. The tomatoes were a big surprise. They looked smushy and gross but they were chilled near freezing and SMOKED. Their appearance didn't link to the flavor and for that, I'm grateful. Parmesan, truffle zucchini chips $8. The batter was thick and the fry was undercooked so they ended up a bit mushy and greasy. The dip they provided had a nice horseradish kick. read more

Awesome location, awesome energy, and great drinks. I can't speak on the actual food because I haven't had a full meal there, but the small grab and go cafe downstairs has awesome açaí (one of my obsessions) and the presentation is so cute if you have it at park 101 and not to go. The vibe is really nice and laid back, there are games on the Lawn downstairs for the kids (or adults) and an upstairs adult only area, which is awesome during sunset. My only criticism would be that the music is incredibly loud for such a chill place in the evening. I usually home here for the açaí in the day and the music hasn't been a problem but in the evening it is so loud you can't hear the person sitting next to you, which is fine that's the case in most bars, but I just feel like it doesn't "match" the vibe of the place. Other than that, it's awesome and is worth spending sometime at whether you're planning on grabbing some drinks or planning a family outing. read more

Can't comment on the food since my partner and I waited close to 30 minutes without a server coming by. The couple next to us must've been there longer than us, as they were just sitting around as well waiting to order food. Hope they got smart and left! Service is atrocious. read more
