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!

AT THE INTERSECTION OF REGRET AND REMORSE…read more At what point does a cover charge become just a discrete way of saying "you're not welcome, only tolerated"? Nothing humbles you faster than paying a $40 daytime 'cover charge' to sit uncomfortably with alchy-bros and their untreated mental health issues. We came to this Irish Tavern because...well... St. Patricks Day. The bouncer wouldn't let us in until we paid the extortion. It's no wonder millennials are broke. I didn't really wanna pay, but we found such a great parking spot... He took my cash and stuffed it in his pocket. For $40, we assumed something legendary was awaiting us inside. Is Cillian Murphy here? Or maybe a Glen Hansard cover band.? At the very least a Conan O'Brien blowup doll? Nope... just canned music playing over speakers that crackled like grandpa's radio. So there's no band... But, for $40 there better be at least something I haven't seen before. Perhaps they've summoned St. Patrick from the dead? Or figured out how to make everyone's red flags visually appear. Or how to uncrack an egg... Something! But nope, it was just like a regular day that wasn't $40 to get in. And here's the thing: the food and drink are ALSO more expensive than usual! So they already fleeced me for $40, and now two drinks are also $40? Two corned beef plates: another $50!? It was average to below average. It was like they took every Irish Tavern in the world, put 'em all in a blender, and hit puree. It was just... easy-to-chew mediocrity. Honestly, I've been to better pubs at Holiday Inn. As we walked out, the same bouncer was still collecting his shakedown fees. But this time the cover charge was only $10. Only 45 minutes later, the cover charge for the privilege of... well nothing... lowered exponentially!?! This isn't an Irish tavern, this is a scam with a jukebox. Pro tip: I've paid $40 for many things. A glow-in-the-dark toilet seat. A Texas-shaped waffle maker. A desktop punching bag for when Yelp takes down my reviews. But I'd rather pay $40 to NOT go to a mediocre Irish bar. Next year, I'm staying home to enjoy a $3 Guinness in my garage. No cover. Curated playlist. Parking's up front. Just me, my red flags, and zero regret.

He rubbed his thigh against mine multiple times. So much to where I turned to him to tell him to stop, as the rest of the bar was open for him to sit. He continued to do so. Weird people sometimes crop up at the bar, but to have the bartender Rich defend him after I told him how weird he was being was the real problem. Seems to be a problem for me to tell someone to stop touching me but not the fact that someone continues to do so.
