We were a group of nine bikers from Orange County who stopped by for lunch. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere and the service was respectful and well-organized. The drinks and beers were excellent and enjoyed by everyone in the group. The food quality was average and could be improved, but overall, it was a positive experience. A nice spot for group gatherings and a relaxing break during a ride.
Honestly I couldn't be happier with this place. Between the quality of food. Paired with their staff being properly trained and seemingly held to higher standards vs most restaurants nowadays. I will 100% go back and will always recommend this place to others . ONLY thing I could say negative so that this really does feel like a true review and not a paid ad is that their game selection and area is kinda meh. Kids will enjoy it but it's out of place and outdated. Their beer selection and coldness is on point though for sure.

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.

Came in to watch a hockey game on a Friday afternoon. Great sports bar with a lot of screens! Fun atmosphere. Will definitely be back.
There was an issue with my bill that I didn't notice until a few days later, I contacted the manager via email and he promptly made everything right. Thank you!

We frequent this Draft Republic and I had my 44th birthday lunch there last week. The staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is great. It’s a good place to go is you have kids because they can move around or play in the arcade. The food is delicious and the portions are plentiful. I couldn’t believe how much fish my uncle got in his meal, he couldn’t even finish it all. My wife and I get the Impossible burger and truffle fries and it’s away cooked perfectly. Close to the beach for an after surfing meal or beer (NA For us), or good for a date night. I highly recommend this restaurant and the Carlsbad location in particular.
