Opinions de The Kraken Cardiff-by-the-Sea
Great bar with live music right at the beach. A little short on parking only because it's so popular. Food truck available most of the time.
A great place to see live bands and have a drink by the beach. Come as you are and enjoy.
Great destination for a motorcycle ride! Old school biker bar right by the beach. Cheap drinks, pool tables and some good tunes on the jukebox.
This is our bar whenever we're in North County enjoying the beaches. It's primarily oriented toward an older clientele, though still with a lot of loud rock and roll!
This is my goto bar. Joe and Sara are the dynamic duo of the Kraken. Joe's quick witted responces to customers and Sara's smile will keep me sitting at the bar all night. When it's time to eat, B.C. never fails to amaze me with his chef skills. This bar has live music and a fun and energetic atmosphere.
Great place , on the coast, live music all the time. 3 Pool tables friendly people. There is a food truck there that serves really good food . Always a awesome time.👍👍
Thee best bar in Cardiff - great drinks & welcoming crowd. Really cool scene and decorated bar. Kat was my bartender & she is the best.
Love coming out the Kraken! Always a fun time watching a Sticky Sweet performance. Great place to dance or sit and hang out with friends. I just wish they had more parking.
Beat dive bar in San Diego County. Gets crowded not enough seats. Food truck sometimes there and sometimes not
Pretty sure this is the best dive bar in a 500mile radius! Live music all the time, steps from the ocean, friendly bartenders, and 3 pool tables on the open air patio!
Hard to get 5 stars as a dive bar but this place is super old school, as are most of the patrons, unless they are blue collar, or locals. They support the arts with live bands and a laid back vibe, and this was once the original home of Rusty's surfboards for you history buffs, in the 1960s.
Classic dive bar with live music. No food, save a food truck. Beware of small parking area and frequent pig patrols. Prolly better to walk there and not drive south on pch, cuz it's a bust waiting to happen.
Best Dive beach bar in San Diego county! Live music most nights and gross bathrooms. Pool tables and even a decent food truck.
Great little dive bar with good bands. Bartender is fun and friendly, drinks are reasonable. Love stopping by after a motorcycle ride
The Kraken is a fun and friendly Hotspot. The bartenders are fast and efficient. No long waits for your drinks. The dancefloor is high energy. Nothing but top notch bands in this place.
Great coastal bar with live music! Pool tables on the back patio and a food truck. If you are around Encinitas/Cardiff/Solana Beach and want a fun spot for music and drinks, this is a great option.
Love this place. Great people ! excellent bartenders! TRACY AND KAT serve a delightful time with there mixed Krakken Crush! Oh and don't forget to try BC's famous Tri Tio crack sandwich. You will get addicted to it!
Had a good time here .. MC club friendly Patch friendly.. Great drinks ... food is not that good ..we ordered pizza 🤣
The best beach bar ever!! So much fun, the locals welcome you in, the bands rock the house and it's just like being on vacation..at home! A staycation! If you love to have fun, enjoy a few brewskies and being around happy, down to earth folks...this is the place!
A true dive bar, but I say that with the most respect! Right across from the beach, has live music often, and pool tables. A fun place to stop for a drink
Went for the first time this Saturday. No cover charge, the live music was great, atmosphere was so fun & the beer was cold. What more could you ask for...🤗 Can't wait to go back.
Chill smokers from Denver were looking for somewhere late night to work with coffee where they let us have cigarettes. This bar delivered super customer service awesome atmosphere. Nice Refuge!
21+ only, they are strict. Very fun local place with strong drinks and nice prices. Loud music so bring ear plugs. Love coming here
We sat at the bar and just had drinks. The bartender Vinny was awesome and the place has a great vibe.
Pretty Chill Spot For A Cold One ... Nice Ocean View Across The Street. Fresh Ocean Breeze and Nice Cold Brewskis. The Bar Chicks Were Awesome !! Totally Great Spot With Good Vibes ...
This little local bar is the bomb. Except for last Saturday when Rosedale band (I use this term lightly) one guy who thinks he is all that and more. He is probably one of the worse bands I have ever seen. They literally had to call the cops to get him out of here and now he is blaming the staff and owner for his lack of talent. I am one of the locals here and there was no clapping that I heard except for when he was booted. Come on by and judge for your self. 40 years and still going strong. We love this bar and it's wonderful staff.
Great locals dive bar with 3 pool tables on a covered patio and live music. Staff is exceptional. Does not serve food but there is a delicious food truck out back. Covered patio over looks salt water lagoon lagoon.
Best dive spot in San Diego, live music everyday, right across from the beach. What else can I say other than maybe a little break in the price for drinks, if you catch their happy hour and drink liquor you're good!
Listen… we’re old, we’ve been here for a while. Never once have I ever had a bouncer check in on me until tonight. Luckily Sean was there to question my man’s behavior not knowing I know him but I appreciate it so much. Give him a raise please!!!!!
Easy. Get a drink in 60 seconds. Lots of dancing music. Nice size bathrooms. Food truck (had a Great burger) and pool tables in the back. No cover charge and Stella on tap is $7. Not bad considering what else is around. And the place gets packed because it’s “easy” and relatively cheap.
Great live music and cool vibey dive bar asthetic. The people that come here make it great. There's pool tables and a punching bag arcade game. Parking lot is small so come early or be prepared to walk.
Bar 10/10. Atmosphere 10/10. Bathroom -10/10 🤢
Also a great time at the Kraken! This is one of my top two favorite dive bars in North County. My friends and I went there to hear an 80s band and to celebrate my birthday a few days early. The lead singer found out it was my birthday, pulled me up on stage, introduced me as "Cinnamon" and handed me a cow bell! I sang with the band and then they sang me happy birthday. 😁 Sooo much fun!! 🤣🎉🎁🎈
Always a good time. No bad vibes ever. Professional and courteous staff. Nice strong drinks. Live music 7 nights a week. 3 pool tables. 1 punching bag. What more can you ask for?
First time here, seems like a great place. Good selection of liquor, patio is well sized and has three pool tables, not the best waterview since it isn't on the ocean side of the 801 but it's good enough for not being there. Lets you see the cliffside housing of Cardiff. They had a food truck parked next to the patio, "the tip of Cardiff" so convenient for anyone who wants a bite to eat.
One of my favorite biker bars in Southern California... Amazing ambience and atmosphere if you like drinking beer in a dive bar on the beach. It seems everyone super friendly... I always need a really good new friend every time I go there. On the weekends they've got live music... You can smoke in the back where the pool rooms are... The only downside is the food truck that I hear is really good...is only there on the night times and take some a long time to get there and sometimes doesn't show up in the daytime. I've been there on Saturdays and Sundays probably 10 times and unfortunately never got to try the food truck everyone rants and raves about.
Great bar with live music and "The Tip" food truck parked on the lot. It is consider the motorcycle bar of the area but don't let that fool you. The crowd is affluent and just looking to have a good time. There are three pool tables in the back of the bar in an open air patio. Located right across the street the water! If you want a great drink and casual bar atmosphere, I recommend coming to the Kraken.
My GF and I had a girl’s night out and this was our third and last stop. This is a fun hot spot for locals and for some fantastic bands. We played pool, hee hee I won. The crowd are friendly, just there to have a relaxing fun time. Check it out!
Great "dive bar" right across the street from the beach. We were there on a Thursday and it was poppin. Live band, cheap drinks, and 3 pool tables. An excellent way to end a day on the beach!
Great beach vibe with a mix of customers from all walks of life. On the weekends, bike clubs like to make a stop on their rides. Always decent music. On the weekends they have bands in the afternoon too. Food truck is now open for limited hours. Bartender says they are currently ramping up operations so it will soon be open more hours.
Fun "locals" establishment w/fun atmosphere, live music, pool 🎱, & good times.
I met my best friend Hugh Williams there. Rip my brother.
My friend and I stopped in to have a drink and the bartender Vinny was working and I have to say 5 stars without a doubt. Best dive bar I’ve been to in awhile! Totally recommend!
Best dive bar and great music
We were looking to find a rockin place with live Rock n Roll. We found the Kracken on the web, it was just 6 min. Away from our condo. Just off of Hwy 101. This little hole in the wall was popping!! I was already dancing when I walked in the door!!the band project x was in the middle of one of my favorite cover songs Sweet Home Alabama! The floor was packed with middle aged women and men dancing the night away having a good time!! We got a very good drink in about 3 min. I really liked the place and will be returning before heading back to N CA.
Best dive bar in Cardiff. Great live music. Pool. Lagoon in back. Ocean In front.
a classic, PCH dive. socal essence. friendly. big bar. big back porch with pool tables along the bay. football on the tv. wonderful.
We went during lunch time, they did not serve food, but they will allow you to bring food in. The atmosphere is great, lots of older people come. They have 3 pool tables for $1 each to play (bring quarters, but they have a coin machine if you need it). The music they play is mostly rock music, but you can request any song through their digital jukebox for a small fee. There's a small dance floor, and they play love music at nighttime (you can check the schedules on their website).
Great bar! Saw Horseshoe Lucky perform 3/3/2024 to a packed house. Loved the music and the atmosphere. We had a wonderful time!
Great place, super friendly. You can come, dance, enjoy sports without any worries!!!
Ocean view bar with a casual feel. They had a live band playing called The Ride that were very good too. Outdoor patio area look cool too but was very busy when we were there.
Like a movie scene, the Kraken Bar and Grill pops up out of nowhere on a dark and desolate coastal patch of 101 on Saturday night. The smallish lot is jam packed and cars are shoulder parked on the frontage. You hear rock-n-roll thumping inside the ramshackle building. I knew right away this was the place for some drinking and dancing. If you are over 21 and want to hear live rock music, forget about the Gaslamp and head to The Kraken. Projekt-X was hitting it hard till closing time and the floor was packed with people grooving until the staff shooed us out. Friendly bar staff, decent prices, so glad we stopped in. Wife was happy, what more can I say…
The Kraken or Crackin' or Kray-kan is quite the pleasure shanty. This place is a local spot that is so fun one must return. It’s a cross between biker bar and pirate saloon and the drinks will put hair on your chest even if you have just waxed it. There is a water experience in the back which is cool and very deck-y which we like for things like live music or playing darts. The Kraken is not to be missed no matter how many different ways people tell us to say this word. I appreciate it and its origins of the mythical sea monster of the mysterious seas. Thank you Kraken - you fun!

Great dive bar with some really fun live music throughout the weekend!
In the area on vacation, what a great spot! Super chill, nice people a great way to slow the pace of the day down. This place will be my go-to every time I’m in this area. I wish we had one of these where I live… I’d be there often. They don’t make them like this anymore. Old school is the best school!
This is a little dive bar. We went to see a band. The drinks were strong, the bartenders were attentive, there was a food truck there, and a pool table. The crowd was a nice mix of young and old. This was my first time there and I really enjoyed it.
We just stopped in for a beer and pool just as their were opening. Nice biker beach bar atmosphere.
This is my favorite place to hang out on Mondays it's lit!! the tall bartender is super friendly outgoing and attentive. So much fun here with pool and darts!! great place by the beach to chill at with friends. Happy black history month!!

If you like to people watch and you have no personal space issues - you are at the right location. Drinks are reasonable - the live-bands are fun, but really the melange of people is what makes the evening...
Great dive bar especially with good bands. Kind of an institution. Right across from the ocean too. Def recommend.
Nice place right by the water. It is between Cardiff and Encinitas. Drinks are superb and live music on Saturday and Sunday. The place is a little older but nice. Yes, they have a dance floor. Seating needs work. Not too many places to sit for 4 or more
Love this place. It's old and the bar stools have tear's, but it doesn't matter. They have a large parking lot and when we go we hit an older crowd of people that we can talk to. In the back there's an area with pool tables and smoking is ok. Very rare. Drinks good and the beer is cold. Clean restrooms and it's across the street from a beautiful beach. It's a dive, but a good one. Beach bum hang out.
Always fun. Friday and Saturday can get wild at times. Great staff. Best bar in Encinitas in my opinion. Age groups can vary from mid twenties and up, I’d say the average age is older but classy. Dance floor is small but gets the job done with good music. Not your average dive. Check it out for sure 👍
Great dive bar. Good bar with live music.
Nice for a dive bar. Lots of space. Three pool tables. Common drinks. Both beer and liquor. Live music some days. Juke box. The crowd is sometimes older and regulars, more often though it's younger. No, there is no food.
Possibly the best small DIVE BAR anywhere -- live cover bands Thursday thru Sunday, zero cover -- BRING CASH FOR THE TIP JARS... drinks are better when you are nice. Can be too crowded on Saturday nights... Love this bar ! But dont expect perfect. UPDATE: the food truck is gone again... This place has great live music (mostly cover bands) on a small, but full, dance floor and pool tables out back.
One of my fave spots. The vibe is beach/biker dive bar. Day time is mostly golfers/retired guys. Week ends and nites mixed. A lot of good music on the week ends.
I love this place but yesterday i went there w a friend. I asked the bartender( tall, thin ,blonde hair, braided wearing a cap) if they had Stella and she was super, super rude. Honey go find another job that is my advice to you . Then I bought my friend a corona did she ask me if she wanted a lime noooo she did not. Ugh ....seriously go work somewhere else.
Nice dive bar, but drinks are a little expensive. $20.50 for an IPA and a Tanqueray and water.

The Kraken is a little biker bar by the beach...It's one of the greatest places to go for fun! Because it's small, you get to know most of the peeps there...and they get to know you too! Don't go there lookin for high end furnishings, come for the fun! It's right by some of the best restaurants, so you can eat before you go play! The music is always good and dancable... My husband, Frankie Dee has been playing there now for over 6 years! He plays R & B, Funk, some Rock...but for sure DANCE MUSIC! Girls, be sure not to bring men...there are plenty of those! Hope to see you there...
Was a lot better before. They limited the seating to 50 less places to sit. Drink and get out it seems. Miss the band's like serious guise . Love the drinks and bartenders
It used to be the best biker bar around. Then it was sold. Now prices went up, hardly any bikes there anymore. Food guy was the slowest and was not nice to the customers and never let you know when you food was up. Drinks cost more when music starts.....Disappointed
Dive bar with a laid back atmosphere. Came in for a quick drink and sat on the covered patio. Two pool tables are out there along with a view of a lagoon. There was also a food truck in the lot, which I'm told has some great chow. If you are looking for this type of place in Encinitas it certainly is the place to go.
The food is amazing. Coconut shrimp with their sauce is perfect. The fried pickles are so lightly breaded you wonder if they have bread at all. Probably the best I’ve ever had. The poppers? Just wow. Unfortunately the management has decided to charge 2.5% on all card charges, even debit cards. Unfortunately that’s about 2.2% too high as the interchange fees on debit cards are 0.3%. I purposely handed over my debit card after seeing that the menu has a statement about Credit Cards having an extra 2.5% charge. And to my unbelief I was still charged the 2.5%. When confronting the waitress and the MOD I was told that it would not be possible to remove the charge. At the end of the day it’s the waiters and waitresses that bear this mishap because their tips are ultimately reduced by the same amount. It’s a shame because the restaurant is either taking advantage of the unassuming patrons or the wait staff. Perhaps the management will see this and train the staff on how to run debit card transactions so the 2.5% doesn’t apply. Until then I believe they will continue to pad their pockets with unassuming guests.
It's kind of a dive bar but Project X was playing and they're a great band. The Jameson and Ginger was spot on. Good crowd. Mix of young and old.
It gets too crowded and bathroom is way too small, Otherwise a great place. They have great bands and nice people. The demographics of the place seems to be changing to a younger more out of control crowd on Saturday nights. Parking can be a problem. This place is the best dive bar I have been to.
Fun place with plenty of pool tables. The outside patio is wide open and a good place away from the crowd plus a good view opposite of the ocean. The bar is cool with all sorts of knick knacks. Doesn't smell gross too. I had an alright old Fashioned served in a plastic cup. That was different but alright. On the higher prices side. Sunday night is music night. Crowd is chill and they all dance.

This place needs a second bar in the back. Trying to get a drink here is a terrible experience
Came to play pool and have a few drinks. Met some lovely people. Great vibes in the back at the two pool tables. Nice atmosphere. Great mix of people old and young. Ruined by a big sensitive security guy. 6foot 3ish bald guy in overalls and a black security tshirt. Some girl said something to him in the parking lot and he practically cried. Weak ass behavior in the middle of day. Imagine he would run a mile if anything actually happened. Thought he was going to cry. Security should be cool, calm, and collected and he was undone by an off hand comment by a girl in the parking lot. Would have stayed for the night only for him. Have a word with this guy please.
The bathrooms stink of old urine and it's impossibly hot and stuffy inside with bad ventilation. The back outside area is fine.

Only gave it one star since zero is not an option. Food was nasty and flavorless, sodas were just like carbonated water (just plain flat) and water was from the faucet tasted old and the only thing that was any good were the mozzarella sticks and the waitress was okay but no personality so freakin serious... Never again and that's a promise just ruined my bby sister's birthday... Just horrible. This is my first and last time dining in here. BTW 18% gratuity for parties of 5 or more ridiculous when the person helping you is crappie at their jobs and on top of that an addtl 2.5%if you use credit card BS just addtl amount of money to take from guests.
The bartenders need a lesson on how to do their job. They dig out the ice for drinks with the same glasses they serve people. My friend got glass on his tongue. I can gladly say I'm never coming back here. The bartenders lack common sense
Seems like a nice lowkey spot that I wanted to rest and relax for a drink or two, but charging $10 for a pint of 805 is absolutely absurd.
Out-of-towners and young people, beware. My girlfriend and I (college students) were roofied here. Someone spiked her vodka sprite, and she thought it tasted funny so she gave it to me to drink. Minutes later I could barely stand and I remember very little from the night. We were targets as the youngest people in the bar and obvious tourists. Do not come here if you’re visiting!
Not happy. I ordered a drink and got mostly soda. I went back and ordered a shot of bourbon
Military vets go in for Cinco De Mayo(2 Mexican Americans, 1 Korean American), our first stop. Bartender tells us coldly hes only serving us shots. Figure maybe its just his tone of voice, and he's not being rude. Cool. Then he sits us on the darkside of the bar....red flag number 2. He asks what we want, and I say: "Lets see, Cinco De Mayo, so what do you have in tequila?" He tells me ill have to walk around to the other side of the bar and see for myself. I figured maybe its such a large selection that he cant say it all. It was 3 Tequilas. Hornitos, Cazadores, and something else. After a few cold stairs we decided to leave. Dont recommend the spot for any military vets.
I’ve been coming to this bar for nearly 20 years. I’m now 38, and I have never experienced the level of hostility I did during my most recent visit. I told the bartender I would be paying with cash and simply asked what the price of the drinks was. Instead of answering, he repeatedly yelled at me to “just give him money” without explaining what anything cost. The interaction was confusing, hostile, and completely unprofessional. When I asked if his attitude toward me had anything to do with my ethnicity, the situation escalated further. Afterward, I reviewed the bar’s Google reviews and noticed others reporting very similar experiences. I’ve included screenshots of those reviews as well. This was extremely disappointing to experience at a place I’ve supported for nearly two decades. I’ve also included a photo of the bartender involved so others are aware of who the interaction was with.
Horrible customer service from a tall (Caucasia) male tender with beard and a hat. Was arguing with a customer because they didn’t leave a tip on a two beers order. Then proceeded to deny service afterwards. It was hostile, immature and uncalled for. I have never witnessed such a shitty person in my life. It also was not the cleanest environment with the smell of dirty urine and stale beer. If you’re looking for that environment, feel free to visit the kraken.
Place has no fans. No airflow whatsoever. So freaking hot. Had an open tab and went to my car to go across and jump in the water to cool off and come back and was yelled at to move my car or I would be towed. Couldn’t leave my car for 15 with an open ton to come back. Some regular that hangs there acting like a bouncer. Won’t be back. Shitty was of treating people.
So disappointed. This used to be a fun and welcoming bar. Now all it has done is nose dive. I came back on a Friday at sunset after being gone 10 years. I miss my old spot. The bar tender was not personable and acted like patrons were more of a burden than folks she wanted to interact with or get to know. There are plenty of beachside bars in Southern Cali. I will return and visit others instead of Kraken and that is sad.
Bartender (Caucasian tall male) was upset at ME, because his boss doesn’t pay him enough to have a livable wage. I typically tip at the end for the great service , but the bartender refused to pop open a can because i didn’t tip him the first time i ordered a seltzer. As a marginalized minority the situation made me feel that race may have influenced how I was treated. First and last time of ever going there
