About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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 food fare selection is typical for a bar/tavern with a few seafood extras. Donovan was very friendly and was willing to share his recommendations when asked. The rest of the staff was friendly as well. I recommend you carve out some additional time to spend in the museum which has some interesting artifacts from the country’s history!

    I love that the new chef offers specials on a little paper menu most weeks. The standard menu is solid, but for regulars, it's really nice to have something different. Chef knocked it out of the park for Easter- both the ham and the lobster tail was out of this world!!

    We went to Green Dragon on Easter. Everything was excellent. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We ordered the Easter Ham special dish and all of the items tasted so fresh and home made. We also had the wedge salad and pretzel bites from the regular menu and both were tasty. Our friend had the beef bourguingnon which we tasted and it was delicious too. I highly recommend the Green Dragon. The selection of food is diverse and tempting. We have been there a few times and all that we ordered was excellent!

    The main course did not arrive together. Some members of our party were served their entrees ten minutes or more before others. The restaurant was very noisy and the staff seemed overwhelmed, though they were very nice The food was good, especially the ham special.

    Spent the night enjoying a meal with my family before Easter. The food was great. Service was excellent. We had dietary issues (some were vegetarian and others couldn't consume seed oils like canola) and they bent over backwards to accommodate. We will definitely be back. Thanks again for such an amazing experience.

    The food here is always amazing. Large quantities but wonderful flavor. Donovan was our server. Polite and fun and very efficient. One of our favorite sports… and they have Porter and stout beer.

    The food choices are plentiful and everything is very good. We had the wedge salad, clam chowder and mussels and all were excellent. The martinis were cold and just right. A very pleasant meal and satisfying experience.
