Founded on History

Green Dragon is a historic restaurant experience and museum inspired by the original 18th century Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. The original Green Dragon Tavern served as the general meeting place and think tank for events that would eventually shape our great nation to this day.

The Green Dragon Tavern & Museum is one of Carlsbad’s most unique and iconic venues. Upon entering our tall white doors, guests enter the brick-built building. With many different rooms to choose from, guests love to explore our free-admission museum, where visitors gain an understanding of our country’s early architecture, historical artifacts, and culture. Our more secluded spaces where private events are held are special spaces which exude grace and comfort, as they provide a classic East Coast elegance. Our notable menu items that are a must-try include our famous barrel-aged old fashioned and our several lobster roll variations. Families cherish the opportunity to transform a dinner into a fun educational opportunity for their children.

When we recreated this historic building, we wanted to give our guests a tangible space that can offer a glimpse into the colonial American experience right here on the West Coast. The classic and historic aura of the restaurant creates a one-of-kind atmosphere that will take you back to a much simpler era. Due to this, our restaurant has hosted countless weddings and events, centered around creating an inclusive social dining experience where everyone is welcome.

Testimonials

“I’ve driven past this place so many times and finally got to stop by for lunch Great drink menu and a standard New England foods. Rueben was great and the garlic fries are fantastic. Highly enjoyed the chowdhar fries. The clam chowder had carrots in it which was different to me but gave it a nice sweetness. Didn’t get to see much of the museum today but looked like quite a bit of history throughout”
