This place rocks! Great food, good service (although if they’re busy, it may take a while), and live music. Really good live music! If you’re ever in car by a village, you have to check this place out and enjoy a night of live music, drinks, and good food.

Went in for brunch with a party of 7. We were seated indoors within 5 minutes. Menu really had a little bit of everything. Every single plate was delicious! We passed around all dishes and literally everyone thought the same, it was all tasty! 7.75 per mimosa during brunch. The house coffee was good too! I was complimenting it and the waited brought me a free sample to take home. She was very nice, attentive and quick throughout the whole time. This time we opted to sit inside since it was a bit cold but they do offer outdoor seating with table top fires and space heaters. There was also a live band getting ready to start playing as we left around 1pm. We will be going back!

I would strongly recommend this place. Very nice and helpful staff, great quality food which tastes amazing plus awesome live music by the fire. Literally everything you need to enjoy all at once. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Smoked chicken and mozzarella club 2. Steak & blue salad This place tends to get super busy especially by the weekends so going there a bit earlier would be a great idea.

Best Live Music!!! Loved "Seven Seconds to Vegas" band. Great play list --classics and some alternative and contemporary! Awesome dancing! Hoping to see them again here soon!!!

Best band in ages! 7 Seconds to VegasI I want more! Their set list is fantastic.\n\nThe bar/ restaurant. The food is excellent, but a bit pricey. The drinks are fine, price- high side of average. Nee…

The Coyote Bar & Grill in downtown Carlsbad was a fun time. It was one of those nights that starts casually and ends with stories you are still laughing about the next morning. I met a friend from hi…

Great little bar & grill. Live band was good. Excellent location near the beach

Great place for music in North Co. Older crowd 5-9, younger 9:30-1. Not a lot of room & smaller bathrooms.

This restaurant would have 5 Stars if is wasn’t for the sneaky surcharge at the bottom of the bill. Should have told us before we ordered. The food was good and the drinks were cold. The atmosphere was pretty good, we ate inside because the live music was too loud. I guess that’s what the surcharge is for the band playing? Weird! Overall it was a good experience our server Hayden was good.

First Visit and it was great. Good Food, Good Service (thank you Phoebe)! Food portions are huge! Fresh and delicious. Fortunately arrived just before Happy Hour ended (5pm)…Tacos are huge and $3 ea! I ordered 2 Cajun Shrimp and 2 Steak (both were delicious). Too much food though (took 2 to go) because I also ordered the delicious Guacamole Stack—so yummy! Just too much food. Everything was fresh and prepared well. I sat on the Patio—which is Open Seating—you just walk in and grab any open table! Live music this eve (7/3/25) was excellent (The Platinum Vibe). Band on 6-10pm. People arrived at least by 4pm possibly earlier to grab their seats on the patio! I arrived 4:45 and only had 1 table left open. Of course some people leave and tables open up. It does get very crowded and dance floor is packed. It was fun though. There’s inside seating as well as a horseshoe bar and a few high top tables in front of the bar and alongside. Parking spots are extremely narrow—everyone parking on top of your vehicle—barely getting out of the vehicle doors! Beware! Aside from the parking, the only unpleasant thing was the surprise 5% Surcharge on my bill. Manager isn’t able to remove it. And showed me where it is stated on the bar menu, which actually shows 4% NOT 5% (see photo). Otherwise, great venue.

Fun bar with live music outside that had people up and dancing. After the band is done tables are removed and inside becomes a small dance floor with a DJ. Bar service was excellent both nights. Tacos and bacon wrapped jalapenos were great.

Coyote bar is known locally for the live music on the patio almost every night of the week. It is nice to see all the entertainment. The food is good, not great, but good. Beware, if you are there during live music, there are $ minimums you're spending per person. When the weather is nice, the patio is great for seating. But if you don't get there early, you won't get a seat. Service is very friendly, but typical of a bar setting. You will have to chase down drinks now and then. Overall, it is a very fun, energetic atmosphere with live music!

Nice design of the restaurant. Food comes in large portions and super fresh. The drinks are okey. Some of them are nicely presented but they are not strong. Desserts are large and very nice. I can really recommend the raspberry/chocolate cheese cake. Restaurant is very loud and busy. Great service and the food comes out fast.

As we walked around we decided to check out The Coyote Bar and Grill... the vib was really cool. there was a band setting up and we were looking forward to a fun evening. Thank the gods that the band was fun because frankly the food and drinks were below par. I had the bottomless chips and salsa - these were good and i'm thinking we may have a new place for the restaurant rotation. I ordered the Lobster/Corn Chowder and what a disappointment the lobster, more like bit were tough and i'm not sure i could find any corn. The Chowder was bland and i just couldn't even force it down. tasted and looked like it had been sitting in a crockpot for the last few days. I even got that film that forms on the top of chowder when its been sitting and not been stirred. Service was great our server was really nice and attentive and worked with us. the band was fun... i hope they get a gig someplace else. all in all a huge disappointment given the venue and the potential. i hope the owner takes this to heart and fixes this.

I was there for taco Tuesday but was disappointed with the fish tacos. The fish was tough as if it had been in the freezer too long but fortunately the bartender (as I was sitting at the bar) didn’t charge me for them. However, this is a great place for drinks & listening to live music in Carlsbad CA. Outdoor patio seating with fire pits along with ample seating inside & at the bar.

Went here on a Friday evening. It was lively, including live music on the back patio.\nI ordered an old fashioned, nachos, and truffle fries.\nThe good: the nachos were solid. Black beans, cheese, ch…

Average bar food. Nachos were skimpy on the toppings and $9 for a few bits of steak. On top of that 3% just because was added to the bill. Don’t add 3% to the bill just be up front and raise the menu…

The food was great for starters. The service honestly not pleasant, nobody came to us after we sat down even after the servers saw us sitting down on the table. I did ask one women about needing service and said she'll be back but never did, just kept walking back and forth with her tables. After another person asked if we needed something after 20 minutes we told her we were waiting for the other girl. The other women made a face. Never again would go just because of how long they made us wait and on top of that she made a face to us after complaining. Drinks were good and tasty. A bit pricey. Mostly regulars i believe and it was a bit crowded with a band playing. Also clue careful to charges on cards, they will not let you know or tell you before sale. Bit is illegal not to let you know add i have checked. The Surcharges are generally only applied to credit card payments; they are not allowed on debit card or cash transactions. And merchants must disclose the surcharge fee to customers at the point of sale. Legality: While permitted in many areas, they are restricted or prohibited in certain states (e.g., California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts) In case nobody knows of this so be careful with these hidden fees and charges.
