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.

    Our family loved it here. We loved learning about our forefathers as we enjoyed great food with superb service. Todd was our waiter and struck a perfect balance of timely service while also chatting with us, teaching us about the restaurant and just being a very kind and welcoming server. He was fantastic! We will definitely come again next time we are in town.

    Couldn’t even hear yourself think or talk to the server because it was too loud. Party of 4, food came out one dish at at time and it took 10 minutes. Poor food timing.

    I went here for my 30 birthday celebration. I love the ambience and how we were able to sit at a table and hear everyone talking. I also enjoyed the food which was 5 stars all around. I highly recommend this place.
