Encinitas Bars

Good Drinks

1. Belly Up Tavern

makes up for it. The drinks here are definitely NOT watered down. It's worth the drive for a good show or if you happen to be at the track for the day, a great place to end up....

2. Daley Double Saloon

Cheap drinks. Causal, young crowd. Local characters and gadflies. Outdoor smoking patio. Old building. Downtown Encinitas icon. Good times....

3. The Shanty Cocktail…

Dare I actually write a good review of the Shanty? I kind of want to give it a bad review so my favorite bar doesn't turn into an over-crowded douche bag hang out. The drinks are strong and cheap...

4. D Street Bar & Grill

to reach because of the crowds, I think that if they let fewer people in they would actually make more money because people would be able to buy drinks.  The people there seemed to be a good crowd...

5. En Fuego Cantina &…

Neighborhood: Del Mar

2. The Bullpen Bar &…

It seems as if every time I go in there I try a new drink, which are always good. The bartenders sure know how to make the drinks and make them strong, but they don't kick till afterwards. This place...

3. Bar Leucadian

people here when I went to meet a friend  (seven o'clock on a Monday).  They all seemed like old, chill surfers.  The bartender was an early 30s dude who was really friendly and made my friend and I...

4. En Fuego Cantina &…

Neighborhood: Del Mar

The crowd was a tad older and was composed of people that you'd see in a cross between a Sears catalog and Macy's catalog. The bartenders were very nice on the patio and were pretty quick.  The only...

5. Daley Double Saloon

this a Saloon as opposed to a bar is that it really has kept its feel of being an old time establishment.  It is nice to see a little bit of Encinitas holding on as the La Jollafication takes place downtown...
