Just as 18th century taverns served as the epicenter of the communities they served, so too does the Green Dragon Tavern & Museum in Carlsbad offer a warm, family-owned gathering place today for San Diego friends and neighbors of all ages. The welcoming atmosphere is surpassed only by the highly acclaimed and award winning menu. Each dish is curated by with a focus on seasonal, locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. Craft cocktails, wines and 20 rotating local beers on tap pair perfectly with our savory fare. Our guests rave about our Maine lobster rolls, Shepherd's Pie, hand-tossed pizzas, fresh seafood, and braised short rib to name a few.

As part of the dining experience, guests are invited to travel back in time to the days when our nation's founders met in secret at the original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. Explore our museum; documents and antiquities from the colonial and Revolutionary War eras and learn more about our nation's founders and their everlasting legacies.

    The restaurant housed in this historic building offers a diverse menu. There is something for everyone, the portions are generous and priced right. We enjoy taking our friends and family there and everyone appreciates the museum exhibits. We prefer to eat in the large bar area, but there is a formal dining room as well as large banquet rooms.

    This place has a special charm, with unique and wonderful food. Great historical flavor and feel. Love to just look around and appreciate our revolutionary history. Never had a bad meal and the staff is so friendly. Something for every true American.

    Good food, but standard restaurant taste and presentation. A few oddities but meat was good. Short Ribs and Hanger Steak. Lobster role was underwhelming and Brussel Sprouts were good but sweat. Value wasn't the best for quality. Ambiance very beer hall ish, the museum is very interesting and full of unknown historical stories.

    The food is fabulous, and the portions are large. Even though it was Valentine's Day and busy, the staff was amazing, and the food was great.

    Valentine's dinner was AMAZING. Lobster tail and NY strip perfect, risotto rolls were out of this world. Great value for a wonderful meal. Guinness on tap is icing on the cake.
