    Wow welcome with open arms. Super cool vibe. Great music I sat down as single female and felt so comfortable.

    Not sure why it took me 3 years to review this place but...here you go! This is my favorite local watering hole. Divey as divey can be! Small and dark place but it offers 2 pool tables, a jukebox, darts, about 6 TVs, cheap and solid drinks! This place is often packed with super friendly locals who'll be glad to make you feel very welcomed. Best bartenders! In fact the nicest bar staff ever, always a sweet smile, a joke, talks...

    Update as of 5/5/2019 I am again rasing the stars for this place do to the fact that the person who hit the guy on the ground is no longer employed with this establishment. I am sorry to hear, though happy for one bartender that has gain new employment. For the new bartender Tina, she is good though she tends to water way down drinks. The only 5hing is that the AMI jukebox is broken too much. I play songs in order that I want to hear them and it decides that I want to hear them in a special order. I have used other AMI Jukeboxes and this is the only one that does that. Please fix. They do offer free food on Sunday early if you can make it.

    Amazing drinks and service by Candace she literally made my first time here amazing and the drinks were soo goood!!!

    Bartender kicked people out for telling her she over poured the who was drunk and passed out in the parking lot. She could care less.

Our party of 22, we sat in 3 tables and Eva still was on top of it. The food was delicious and so fresh. I was so surprised of the level of cuisine they offered. We were there for brunch but I'm for sure going back to try their dinner menu. The pub is a hidden gem in vista, a must try!!!

It looked beautiful as served but it was quite cold and the taste was not good. The service was extremely lacking. Our food was delivered and we never saw the server again. I received the soup with my meal and not before. Perhaps it was left sitting prior? I don't know. I was unable to send it back or have it heated because the server was missing and there was no one else to ask. We were unable to order any additional drinks for the same reason. We also ran out of water for a long time and I got up and hunted down the server. I had glasses in hand and got a dirty look and more water but no apology. We would have ordered more drinks and possibly dessert. Instead we left and went to get ice cream across the street. Very odd that the drink menu has no prices listed. It showed wine by the glass but it did not appear one could purchase a bottle. I can say the kitchen is spot on. I hope they work on their service.

    What does it say about me that I picked this place for dinner because it has "beaver" in the name?…read moreI don't want to know! But my excuse is that I did it for the children. Inexplicably, my kids love beavers, and so when we were staying in Carlsbad for the night and looking for a place to eat, how could we not visit a place called Belching Beaver? We couldn't not! And so we did. It turns out, Belching Beaver is a very family-friendly brewery, with lots of arcade games, lawn games, and an extremely laid-back atmosphere. I wasn't going to get a beer, but then I saw that the brewery did a collaboration with the Deftones to create an IPA called Phantom Bride. I had to get a pint. Chino Moreno made me do it! It was citrusy and refreshing, and just the thing to enjoy while sitting on the outdoor picnic tables. Belching Beaver offers your average pub food. My kids got chicken tenders and fries, and mac and cheese with fries. I got a poke bowl, which sounds like a risky choice at a brewery, but it was actually really good and fresh! Not too saucy, either. We also got the carne asada 980 Nachos, which are huge and come on a baking sheet. Plenty enough to share! This place is tucked away in what looks like an office plaza. I'm learning that a lot of breweries in this area are posted up in situations like this. You look like you're driving into a nondescript place to get your contract notarized, but instead, you happen upon a cool restaurant and brewery such as this.

    Service was good but food options weren't as numerous as expected. Obviously this is more of a pub…read morethan a restaurant so if your main objective is food and not beer then other options might be considered for dining. Parking not too difficult.

    Churchill's Pub & Grille is a lively neighborhood dive bar with games, music, and a super fun,…read morelaid-back vibe. Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

    Came here for my fiancé's birthday…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, so I thought the place would be packed. But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.
