What happens when you mix a Revolutionary War Museum with a bar and restaurant? The Green Dragon Tavern stands out in a crowded Carlsbad restaurant market by offering something off-the-wall, like a New England style museum and great food and cocktails. Fashioned after the original Tavern in Boston, MA – this combination restaurant/bar and museum is well worth the visit. Not just for its uniqueness in coastal California, but also because their food and service are well above average.

All-American Restaurant & Bar
Choose The Bar or The Restaurant
You can choose to sit in either the restaurant or the bar – we prefer the bar as its cozier and a great place to watch sports while enjoying their excellent kitchen and staff.
The Menu features a wide-range of upscale American favorites such as Steaks, Seafood, Burgers and Pizzas mixed with New England specialties like Chowder, Cod, Fish and Chips and Lobster rolls.

Walk Through The Free Museum Before or After Eating
While revolutionary history may not be the most exciting topic, the museum is legit with hallways of historical artwork and a large showroom of displays and artifacts. Don’t forget to venture upstairs.

The menu here is extensive, so it’s hard to choose what to get and it’s all very good – so you cannot go wrong. Worth a short drive from the Village for such a unique meal experience.
