Draft Republic Carlsbad

Great food! They had a nice selection of ciders. Lots on tap. Bartender was great. Food was amazing.

We had dinner here super late. Walked in about an hour before closing and we were meet with smiles. Had an excellent meal for us and the kids. Excellent accommodations to allergies and the food was made to perfection. I’m horrible with names, but shoutout to our waitress... she was really friendly and helpful. Best service you could ask for!

It's always great when I'm in a different city and I get to try new restaurants. I happened to be in the Carlsbad area and got to try Draft Republic. The food runner, Kyra, and our waiter, Nick L., absolutely went above and beyond to serve our large group of 12. We were fortunate to arrive during happy hour, which allowed us to explore the delicious offerings from their happy hour menu. We almost tried everything on it and divided the food among the whole group. My attention was really drawn to their outstanding drink specials. My beer enthusiast friends were happy with the 16 oz house beers for just 6 and the 26 oz option for 9, which I've never seen anywhere in SoCal. We sampled a wide range of dishes, including the mouthwatering beef sliders and sausage sampler, the savory crispy buffalo cauliflower, poke tacos, brussel sprouts, Bavarian pretzel bites, and the chop chop salad. Each meal was well-cooked and flavorful. The vibe at Draft Republic was warm and friendly, showing an excellent fusion of local charm and contemporary design. They do have lots of TVs playing local sports so this has to be a great spot to hang out on game day. Given the size of our group, the service was very impressive. In addition to ensuring sure our orders were correctly taken and that our eating experience was excellent, Nick L. and Kyra were also patient and attentive. The vast beer menu provided a wide variety of options, even though I may not be a beer enthusiast myself. Additionally, I was surprised to find that they have a good non-alcoholic selection as well as beer flights for those interested in trying a variety of flavors. I'll definitely go back to Draft Republic the next time I'm in the area after this wonderful experience. It is a must-visit location since it offers amazing food, drinks for my companions, warm service, and a lively atmosphere.

Loved this place! Great service, massive draft beer list and delicious food. We started with the sausage sampler and the crispy brussel sprouts, neither disappointed. Was craving chicken tenders and their version for adults included 3 sauces and coleslaw. Only complaint is that the location closes “early” at 9pm, def would have stayed later if they were opener later.

What a great place place for some food, some beer and some fun. Amazing bar with a ton of taps. TV’s all over. Excellent, friendly and attentive staff. The food is great from the sausage platter appetizer to the loaded brisket fries and the amazing short rib melt (one of the best sandwiches i’ve had in a long, long time). Great for large groups. Excellent.

Great atmosphere to grab a beer and good food. The pulled pork & brisket sandwich is amazing! Will absolutely be back for another one.

We had an amazing time here. We were starving after our day time activities with our daughter and stopped in around 3:30. We ended up ordering the draft Republic burger and the shrimp salad to share between my husband and I and got our daughter some pasta. They split our food for us and the portions were perfect. The food was so delicious and certainly did not disappoint. We were both super satisfied with our meal and so was our daughter. Our server Kayla was amazing and just overall so sweet. She made sure we had everything we needed and while we aren't dessert people, we said yes to her recommendation of the skillet brownie sundae. It was so amazing. Overall, just an awesome vibe, great service, and delectable menu. Would love to return.

We had a wonderful time here — very family friendly with tons of TVs and fun arcade games to keep everyone entertained. The bartender was super nice and made us feel welcome. The food was yummy too — great spot for both kids and adults to enjoy!
