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.
