You get Carlsbad’s multi-level entertainment hotspot, Park 101.
Opened in 2017, Park 101 was greeted with heaps of anticipation as Carlsbad and San Diego residents awaited the grand opening of what was to become one of the most exciting community dining plazas in the area. After several years have passed, it’s safe to say that Park 101 delivered. With foodie favorites everyone will love, inviting indoor and outdoor spaces and recurring events like trivia nights and Padres watch parties, Park 101 has quickly become a staple in the Carlsbad community. So whether you’re visiting the area looking for a fun and unique drinking and dining experience or you’re a longtime resident seeking an exciting new after-hours destination, this is the place to hang in the heart of the Village. Here’s why this Carlsbad hub is a must-visit this summer.
Tacos, BBQ, Lobster Rolls and More
It should come as no surprise that one of the best and largest dining locations in the area is chock-full of incredible food and beverage options. For some exceptional barbecue, the menu features an impressive array of American comfort classics, such as wings, burgers and their famous loaded BBQ mac n’ cheese, but the best part of their menu kicks in over the weekend when they offer freshly smoked barbecue ribs, pulled pork and tri-tip that will have your mouth watering and your taste buds soaring. Their barbecue options are only available over the weekend and come in limited supply, however, so be sure to get there early before it’s all gone. For fans of all things fresh seafood, their new “Trap Shack” menu also features some of the best lobster rolls and shareable apps around. Over 30 different locally crafted beers and hard seltzers are ready for you to choose from at the bar along with a host of delicious signature cocktails to sip on. As you can see, Park 101 has something for everyone.
