Our Story
Something Fresh & New
With a passion for great food and as long time residents of Carlsbad, we found that the restaurant scene in North County was in need of an upscale neighborhood bar that also serves great food in an elegant setting.
Black Rail Kitchen + Bar is the third in our family of restaurants, preceded by Tinleaf Fresh Kitchen and Beach Plum Kitchen. By dining with us, you are supporting an independent, local business.
Our Mission
To create a neighborhood gathering space that serves affordably priced chef quality food and beverages in a relaxed and friendly environments.
Our Team
Black Rail Kitchen + Bar employees over 50 people. We believe that hiring the right people, training them for excellence, and giving them room to grow is what sets us apart. We take care of our team through competitive wages, tip sharing, flexible schedules, and health insurance.
