This is a fun place to come catch a game and enjoy the day. There is a large outdoor area that is good for dogs and kids. We tried the wings ( some of the beat we have had in years!) The tritip sandwich, and some of the lobster tacos. The surf and turf tacos were very delicious. All in all I would definitely recommend stopping in for a bit and a drink. Keep in mind parking can be difficult in these area but there is another lot if you circle the block.

Came here last night 12/03 for their weekly Tacos and Trivia night. FIVE OF FIVE STARS. If Yelp gave a six-star option I'd click that. The food was divine! I haven't had tri-tip that flavorful and tender in twenty years...and I grew up on a cattle ranch in Montana. The service was impeccable. Chad is the type of professional and attentive server of which all other servers are judged. I just can't say enough positive things about Park 101. Oh and the Trivia night was a blast! The host was smart and funny (also handsome) and really puts on a show. His questions and content are like no other trivia game in America. A+ Highly recommend. If you like great food, great trivia, great music and an all around great atmosphere my suggestion is drop everything and head over to Park 101. You will not be disappointed.

Busy. Busy. Busy. If anyone doesn't like crowds, this is not the place to be. Fun place but definitely not enough table/chairs for the amount of people they let in. Line at the bar took about 10-15 minutes. Looked around for a spot, but no luck. Went upstairs even more crowded. Would like to try again some time hopefully better chances at having a seat. Drinks were good.

Park 101 is a great spot for food, drinks, and catching Sunday football! Ok, the food - The Rodeo Barrel Nachos are an absolute must-get. They're loaded with melty cheese, cotija cheese, and pulled pork. These nachos are on another level. Don't forget to take a "reveal" video of them as the barrel is lifted off the top. Then the smoked wings are some of the best in North County. Good wings are tough to find these days, especially with many places cutting back or taking them off the menu entirely (looking at you, Tower 13!). The vibe is great for Sunday football, with a HUGE TV and a fun crowd. The day we went, the service was slow. There was only one server for the entire place, which meant we had to go up to the bar to order. Overall, we'll be back back for the food and the football.

This is a great place to go for a casual delish meal with a group of friends. You order and pay at the bar. The food is excellent and comes out quickly. They have a great mix of salads and BBQ. I had the Chick sandwich and it was super tasty. The coleslaw was my favorite. The outdoor seating is lovely on a warm sunny day but they also have propane heaters for a chilly evening. Their cocktail menu was extensive and tempting but I skipped it this lunch time around. Highly recommend!!

Very cool spot in Carlsbad. I liked the open concept and the fact that they had two floors. The service was really quick and the drinks were refreshing. I liked that they had a wide variety of food on their menu and the Trap Shack was just right outside of the space. They had a large projector screen on the bottom floor and I'm sure it gets busy and fun during sporting games. They also had corn hole available to play. The seating was picnic style but there were a few round tables with fire pits, which would be so nice if it was an evening or just a colder day. Great spot to hang out and grab drinks! It's also kid friendly.

Not sure why this place doesn't have better ratings. The food here is great!! For a place people come to to get drinks, the food is an added bonus! Everything everyone had was delicious! Highly recommend the nachos. They were a bit addictive. The ambiance is perfect. If you're going with a big group I recommend calling ahead and asking to reserve the fire pit. It's like hosting a party at someone else's place. Service is wonderful and everyone there is kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

Nice place, lots of outdoor seating. Pros: Service was great. Our server was friendly, attentive, and matched the energy of our group. Tri tip tacos were good. Home made beef jerky. Cocktails and mocktails were all good. Kids menu available (with Dino nuggets as an option), crayons provided. Cons: Upstairs seating is 21+ only No allergens listed on menu
