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 was great, and the service was impeccable. It would've been a more pleasant dining experience if the bar and the football game (TV) would've been in a different room.

    A must try! Fabulous food and portions. Adults and kids all enjoyed their meals. Kids loved their ice cream cookie sandwich for dessert. Super neat that it has a small museum in honor of our forefathers. Service was outstanding as well. Only a 7 minute drive from Legoland. We will be back!

    We ate outside on the patio and had it to ourselves. Waitress was very informative and a delight. The vegetarian pizza was extremely wonderful with so many toppings. It said black olives, but was so pleasantly surprised that it had Kalamata olives which is so much more flavorful. The museum was very informative and well done. I definitely would recommend to anyone.
