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 restaurant housed in this historic building offers a diverse menu. There is something for everyone, the portions are generous and priced right. We enjoy taking our friends and family there and everyone appreciates the museum exhibits. We prefer to eat in the large bar area, but there is a formal dining room as well as large banquet rooms.

    This place has a special charm, with unique and wonderful food. Great historical flavor and feel. Love to just look around and appreciate our revolutionary history. Never had a bad meal and the staff is so friendly. Something for every true American.

    Good food, but standard restaurant taste and presentation. A few oddities but meat was good. Short Ribs and Hanger Steak. Lobster role was underwhelming and Brussel Sprouts were good but sweat. Value wasn't the best for quality. Ambiance very beer hall ish, the museum is very interesting and full of unknown historical stories.

    The food is fabulous, and the portions are large. Even though it was Valentine's Day and busy, the staff was amazing, and the food was great.

    Valentine's dinner was AMAZING. Lobster tail and NY strip perfect, risotto rolls were out of this world. Great value for a wonderful meal. Guinness on tap is icing on the cake.

    Everything about this we liked. Food and appetizers were great. Service great. Beer selection is outstanding, and priced at $6 for pint. Everything was super reasonable. I had short rips, and it was fantastic!

    We've been wanting to check out the Green Dragon for about a year and decided to use Valentine's Day as an opportunity. Firstly, our reservation noted that we were on a date night, but were seated immediately beside a large, very loud group of women. Good for them, loved that they were enjoying their night out! However it made conversation between my husband and I pretty much impossible. The food was, eh... both my husband's and my meals were over salted and otherwise kinda tasteless. Toward the end of our meal, we asked for a to-go box and then waited 25-30 minutes for it to come, and to be able to ask for the check. The decor was pretty interesting... Revolutionary War decor and memorabilia. We didn't go to the museum, but if it's reflective of the restauraunt decor, then I'm sure it's a fun visit.
