Lots of tequila and mezcal cocktails, which are personal favorites. Really liked Tangerine You're My Sex Machine. For food, we basically ordered a massive spread of it all. Standouts were the yelllowtail ceviche--creamy & coconuty!--and all the steak dishes. Looking forward to more visits in the future. Vibes & ambiance are fun too.

I was instantly greeted by the bartender, Dustin, and he not only welcomed me but gave me a bro hug like I was already a regular. That kind of hospitality immediately made me feel at home. The service was quick, the vibes were great, and the music was fun. Dustin was incredibly attentive and made sure my cup was refilled promptly. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay longer because I had to catch up with family, but before I left the area, Dustin even recognized me when he saw me at a nearby business. He even bought my daughter an ice cream after learning her team just won a soccer tournament! Talk about genuine hospitality and respect! Dustin is an awesome bartender and clearly knows how to make people feel welcome. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

As per usual Village Pub was a great last stop. Good drinks at good prices with good, friendly service. A short walk back to our friend's house makes it even better.

We stumbled upon The Alley by chance and were glad we found it. It is the kind of place you do not…read moreplan for but end up talking about afterward. If you are looking for a fun little spot with a DJ, lights, and a mix of truly random people, this is it. The drinks are affordable, which already puts it ahead of the curve. The DJ is solid and plays a surprisingly wide range of music that somehow works for everyone in the room. The dance floor is always packed, and that energy feeds into the entire space. What stood out most is that there is no single niche or crowd this bar caters to, which makes it feel welcoming and easy to enjoy. For a small town, seeing it this packed felt like a win. This is the kind of place where you show up for one drink and leave hours later. I will definitely be back the next time I am downtown and want to dance the night away.

Had to tell you I'm really happy that I watched the World Cup game here I live in Los Angeles,…read morewhich is about 93 miles away from this place, but a good friend of mine recommended it and although it was a challenge to find parking because it was Friday night and kickoff the World Cup ceremonies. The seating I got was incredibly comfortable. The service was great and I gotta tell you I kicked it up with probably one of the newest appetizers I ever have they call rattlesnake eggs they're jalapeños wrapped at bacon and cream cheese inside they were super delicious. I got the avocado ranch to dip it in. I have to tell you though the Angus burger medium rare now I might make a recommend medium or medium well because it is juicy, but this hamburger was delicious and juicy and it is very well sized, but let me tell you the Coyte grace came from what my friend ordered and boy was jealous The coyote nachos are incredible. I recommend getting them with steak... These flavorful delicious nachos. Come with an incredibly dark salsa that will make your mouth water. I had to get extra sour cream and jalapeños because my friend knew he wasn't gonna be able to eat them without some Assistance, whether he wanted it or not not to mention you wanna take some chips and salsa home they'll sell it to you right here. this is what we're the trip from Los Angeles and I'm gonna tell you although it gets loud in here when he gets Act it's a family restaurant and we all love that on a Friday night... And actually in this case every night for me but Friday nights they also have live music in outdoor seating I don't wanna ever pass this place up, but let me tell you those nachos? I might move here. lol!

Such a disappointment on Monday Karaoke night at Coyotes! We…read moregot there and were told the karaoke was all filled up so none of our group could sign up. The worst part is the DJ let those singers sing second and third and even fourth songs! So here we are not able to sing while watching the singers who did sign up ding over and over again! That's a guaranteed way to create disappointment for others...which is why it's a two star review. It'd be nice to change this system so more people could sing! On the positive side their fish tacos are delicious! You can order just one and they are pretty filling. I hope you all can change your system as we'd love to come back and experience your karaoke nights!

If you live in Carlsbad or just love Smash Burgers then you wanna check out Hennessey's Tavern. On…read moreThursdays, you can get a Smash Burger and Fries for $7. It's all day, every Thursday. The Smash Burger comes with two patties, cheese, onions and bacon...YUM! The buns tasted slightly sweet so it paired well with the savory burger. The fries were great too. Not overly crispy. They run specials every day on different items, but the Smash Burger is for sure one to check out. The service was awesome. Our waitress was super nice and kept checking in on us. Great Service always makes a difference. Hennessey's is pretty big. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have booths, tables and bar seating for whatever your preference is. They also have TV's so a great spot to watch the latest sporting event while enjoying a great meal. Definitely recommend trying their $7 Smash Burgers on Thursdays!

Prior to my visit, I looked online to see if they still had them because I haven't been here in a year. The patrons were lively, I saw a familiar bartender & they were playing good music. I wasn't the only poc like usual & the crowd seemed more inviting. The rolls with the avocado dressing were really good. I was shocked when I received my bill and it was like $18 and the rolls showed $12 online. I informed the server & they took $5 off my bill which I really appreciated. This place seems more of a bar than restaurant but either way they have pretty good food for a bar. I love these rolls but they're not super fulfilling so I'll need to get a real meal for that price. They have some great specials. Whenever I'm in the area I always like to visit. I'm glad this place is still open, considering the new businesses on state.

The sound wasn't on, which was fine with us. Next to the bar, there's a counter to order food, then you take a number to your seat.
