This is a casual, fun hang. There are clearly a lot of regulars here. No pretentiousness to be found. They have an excellent draft beer selection and a large food menu, too. They've also got wines and cider and beers in cans and bottles. The pretzel with beer cheese was as big as a hubcap. It was soft and very good. Maybe a tad too much salt but it's easily brushed off. We also tried the burger and it was large and hit the spot. The interior decor is fun and funky and they also have a large patio. Good, friendly service, too. Good food, great beer, and a fun vibe. Prices are fair which, in this location, is a rarity. I'd like to think Jack Tripper would be proud of this place. read more

This is our son's go to bar. And Tim and the staff allowed us to host welcome drinks and apps for his wedding. The service was great and the food was so good many guests went back over their stay to eat there again. I know at least one that over a 4 day weekend was there 3 times. A solid 5 stars and big shout out to The Regal Seagull and staff. Real food, great service, and excellent value. Having so much fun living in the moment I forgot to take pics. Guess I need to go back, it's only a 4 hour flight... read more

Great selection of cold beer- the Philly cheesesteak was so tasty. The staff super friendly. They are not afraid to put the volume up in a game. Cool haunt and if I lived near, it would be a huge problem. Oh house made chips are great also!! read more

Sausage fest. Beer and sausage are what they are known for but they are so much more. Lots of bar food options but they do have a tasty hummus platter. And mini corndogs!! I know they have a few wine options if beer is not for you. A fun place to watch a game. read more

Have been to Regal Beagle a billion times but took me until last night to visit the Seagull. I loved it, and will be back for sure. I got the cheesesteak with tots and the char they put on the meat was perfect. Also had a nice IPA from Beachwood. Really cool spot overall read more

Favorite place to grab a beer, eat some wings, watch sports and have a day!!! I will continue to go here until the day I die

Great beer selection, wine is sparse, food is worse. Good tater tots and wings, don't get the chicken Philly, it's gross. Hummus is ok, sausage selection is ok, no one comes here for the food, beer selection is great. read more

Been coming here 10 years and enjoy it every time. The local vibe & owner is always there and super chill. Try out the fried green beans !

Great beer, great food, great service. The house made sausage was delicious even had some leftover the next day cold and it was delicious. Plenty of different mustards to try for that perfect flavor and an amazing selection of beers. Kind of a hole in the wall do yourself a favor and give them a shot. read more

I sure do love me a classic neighborhood dive! And Regal Seagull definitely hits the mark here. The beachy, grimy-in-a-charming-way decor and abundance of tv screens to watch whatever sporting events are on give a really home-y feel (is that too much to say a bar feels home-y?). Their ordering system is pretty fun too, you get a ticket with a humorous name like Edna Krabappel from the Simpsons that they obnoxiously/endearingly call out when your order is ready. I would say I'm somewhat of a regular here as far as happy hour drinks and yummy appetizers like the mac-n-cheese bites and mini corn dogs, but I just tried their burger the other night and was quite surprised at the quality. Honestly a great burger for the price, I just wish fries on the side weren't an upcharge as I'm not a big chip gal. I definitely need to try their famous sausages next time I go for dinner. There's something for everyone as far as drink selection and a of of local breweries are featured, and while I love beer I usually try whatever cider is on the board because they've all tasted great - the most recent one I tried had a nice tangerine palette. The bartenders/staff are pretty friendly for the most part, and the few that are a bit more short, eh I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because they work at a bar and probably deal with some annoying locals (sorry Leucadians I still love you) all day lol. Anyways, if you're in the area and looking for a fun spot for some refreshing libations and tasty bar food, this is your sign! read more

Nice selection of other than local beers .The sausages were decent but I had hoped for better. Super busy Saturday afternoon so that made the wait longer , but I'd go back and try all the beers! read more

Cool local bar in Leucadia. Fun vibe w tables inside and out. Inside there are 3 or 4 TVs with various sports playing at any given time. About a dozen or so beers on tap and wines available. Happy hour M-F open till 6 PM. Specials include $.25 mini corn dog Monday's; 2 for $1 wing Wednesdays. Service has been friendly and welcoming the two times I've been here. Different staff each time. The food is pretty legit here. Order your food at the bar, they'll give you a ticket with a name on it. Not your name, but the name of an old sitcom actor/ actress. When your order is ready, they'll call that name. So be sure to listen for that name and not yours to pickup your order at the kitchen area. So far I've enjoyed the salt & pepper wings, BLT (added avocado) and the pepper steak sandwich. All a high level bar food. They're more known for their house-made sausages. Next time... As for what's on tap, a good sized menu above the bar. If you can't decide, they have a "wheel of indecision" to the left of the bar. Give it a spin and let the wheel decide for you! Keep on Yelp'n! read more

Are you one of those people who says, where can I get a beer I haven't had before? Go to the Seagull, their beer list is always changing, and it's filled with things you've never seen. Have a brat and same tater tots with it, you'll be happy. read more

SALT SALT SALT. There was no salt on the chips or tater tots, which is a downright crime to potatoes. You literally cannot oversalt potatoes, just do it when it's hot. Instead, there was quite literally zero. It turned what would have been 9/10 chips and tots to 3/10 chips and tots. The kielbasa was insanely good, and the bratwurst and sauerkraut are to die for. Service is good, vibe is great, history is great, but by GOD you MUST salt things. read more

Loved our experience here! Great service, extensive beer selection, fantastic vibes and the food was way better than expected. Can't wait to go back! read more

Love Regal Seagull! Always great vibes and tons of rotating beers on tap! Thanks Mike!! Don't miss out on their food too- best wings and sausages around. Couple tvs to watch the games. You're missing out if you haven't been! read more

I came in with a group of 4 friends after a workout class around 9:30pm. The food and beer were great, but it took a while to get service at the bar. Around 10:15pm they came outside to our table and asked to close us out. The posted closing time is 12am, but they never said anything about closing early and passively started to push us out. At 10:40pm they turned out the lights on us... so it was obvious they wanted us to leave. We were ready to order more rounds but clearly they didn't care. We were trying to find a regular weeknight place to go out after our late night workout classes and thought Regal Seagull would be it. It's really disappointing because this has been one of my favorite bars until tonight. read more

Went there for Wings Wednesday, a great deal: 2 wings for $1. They offer 3 dry rubs (salt/pepper, old bay, lemon pepper), 3 wets (Sweet Thai chili, BBQ, buffalo). FOOD Dry rub: they don't "mix" the rub they just spray spices on the top of the wings therefore you have wings with a lot of seasoning that are almost inedible because they are too salty, and then you have some "naked" wings at the bottom. 1 star (see my food pics). Wet wings: WARNING, BBQ sauce is actually Buffalo BBQ! I cannot eat buffalo sauce at all, therefore my BBQ sauce wings went to waste. Fried green beans ($5): Frozen pre-made fried bean... not good. SERVICE: You order at the counter, there is a line starting by the main, front entrance door. It took me 5 seconds too much to make up my mind on the wings seasoning so the person taking order asked the guy behind me if he was ready and took his order first as I was asking questions on the menu. Very rude. Actually I would say "lame". Especially that guy behind me had a long/complicated order...and wasn't sure of what he wanted... RESTROOM: 1 unique place to wash your hands (on wings night, you'll have a serious line when you want to wash your hands after your meal). I ended up at the bar nearby to wash my hands... BEERS/PRICES: They offer a very nice selection but unfortunately the cheapest beer is $6. There are plenty of brewery associated restaurants around that will provide equivalent beers for a cheaper price. Wine is way over priced. I do like the place, the vibe, some of the staff. It could be way better than what it is only if the food was more decent. 1 star for food. 2 for the place/vibe/staff... read more

Great local spot and my go to dive bar to watch sports and enjoy bar food. They have wing wednesday and my top picks are there philly cheesesteak with fried green beans, lemon pepper dry rub wings, and the bratwurst. Service is unique and puts a fun twist on letting you know your order is ready with funny names. Cant go wrong with any if their beers on the wall, i typically go with the #15 or #22 hazy beer read more

I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend in January 2021 who told me all about their $1 wing Wednesday deals. Since the beginning of this year, I have developed a problem. I can't stop coming here! First off, the wing quality, taste, and consistency is unmatched. I doubted my friend when he told me at first, but now I understand. I used to come to Regal Seagull once a week but now you can find me here at least 3 or more times a week. The wings are top notch, but the people who work here are even better. At this point I can't tell if it's the atmosphere, people, or wings that brings me back. Nonetheless, I am comfortable here and have a great time every time. My favorite wing flavor is the lemon pepper but it's only because I'm in a weird phase. Any wing fanatic would understand. They have plenty of other flavors ranging from spicy to sweet whether you like dry ribs or normal sauce. Try them all! I typically come here alone but always feel at home. It seems as though many of the people here are locals because you can tell if somebody is a regular or first timer. I went to high school in the area so I tend to know at least one person at the place. Overall if you want some amazing wings and a fresh selection of beer, and a welcoming atmosphere, COME TO REGAL SEAGULL! Their beer menu is constantly changing but that's because they try to bring in the freshest and most desirable kegs on tap. I seem to always find a new favorite beer before I leave which is something I haven't felt at any other bar/restaurant. All I'm asking is you stop by, give it a chance, and if you see somebody here alone it's probably me Don't be a stranger! read more

My last name is Wurst so I'm obligated to leave this place a great review based on the abundance of sausage on the food menu. Just kidding, this review is in no way incentivized. Doesn't have to be. The Regal Seagull is just a chill bar that definitely doesn't take itself too seriously. Probably best summed up by the fact that their website promotes Full Price Fridays, the staff and whole existence is dry, sarcastic, and hilarious. If Bill Murray was a beach bar, it'd be the Regal Seagull. The tube steaks are legit, the beer selection is excellent, and the vibe is just my speed. It's not for everyone, but if it's not for you then you probably aren't awesome. read more

This area is full of great bars and the Regal Seagull is one of the better ones. The code is cool, the people are awesome, and the bartenders kill it. Walk down a few steps off PCH where there is a small outdoor patio, but go into the building and take a seat at the bar. It's a good size bar with high top tables opposite. You can immediately tell it's been there for a while and it has a scars to prove it. Part of what makes it so much fun. With a classic wooden bar top with a large tail to rest your elbows, it's easy to spend lots of time here. The back bar has the TVs you need and lots of memorabilia. But what makes the Regal Seagull so great, it's huge beer menu and their food. The food is absolutely incredible. Known for their sausages, but the Philly cheese and mahi sandwich are equally delicious. The service is fast and super friendly. Cannot wait to my next trip here. read more

Located at the border of Carlsbad and Encinitas, Regal Seagull is the perfect place to grab a beer and wind down your day. I really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. They have an extremely wide selection of craft beers. The beer menu reminded me of Small Bar in University Heights. Everyone behind the counter was very attentive and always made sure your glass wasn't empty, unless you wanted it to be. On top of the beer selection, Regal Seagull also has a great selection of bar food. I of course had to get the tater tots. The portion of perfectly fried tots was huge. Grabbed a couple of mustards to try with the tots from the mustard bar. Tots with beer is always a great idea! read more

Consistent with the great taps and good vibe I've come to experience at The Regal Begal (the original spot in Mission Hills). Lots of variety, some Russian River taps to some great local taps like the Burgeon hazy. You won't go hungry here with lots of options for good eats that pair well with a tasty cold one. Cheers! read more

Solid spot to have a beer, good tap list from lots of local breweries and some other not so local which works for me, always good to have a variety of beers to choose from. Came on a Saturday night and it wasn't too busy, only stayed for a single beer but it's a relaxing spot, I could see myself knocking back a few here on a regular basis. Doesn't have a full bar so it's really just the beers and a few wines. Didn't have food but looked decent, standard bar type food but it's hard to screw that up. Bartenders were friendly as well and good ratio of tv's to bar space, so if there's something you want to watch can probably get it on with a close seat. I've been to the Beagle in midtown and feel like this is a little calmer spot, but still same vibe. read more
