I love this place! Great cocktails, good lineup of craft beer, pretty good food as well. The atmosphere here is great, notably without a TV. Go to this place to enjoy these things with your company.While the ambiance was fine by me before, the interior is now refreshed. ??
Good spot for dinner with friends.?: my friend ordered the whole fish and said it was some of the best fish she’s had. Fish came with bone in, so be prepared to work for your meal!?: bacon wrapped dates were delicious. Came with a side of blue cheese, which wasn’t a crowd fav?: another friend ordered the lamb burger and said it was fresh and light. Would recommend!?: lastly, I ordered the skewers and they were just alright. Meat came medium rare and the flatbread was less than appetizing.
My favorite cocktail bar! Such a good vibe. The bartenders are so good and friendly! Best drinks and some of the best food! Also has a super amazing happy hour!! Our favorites are the fried chicken sandwich and the ahi salad, but keep your eyes open on the specials! The chef is amazing!!!
Listen, this was our first time to The Compass. We were meeting old friends who we haven't seen for a long time due to this pandemic. We had a fantastic time! The service was out of this world and the atmosphere was top notch. Casual tavern style. Yes, we could've shot pictures of the food, but I think there is enough of those in these reviews. If you are looking for a nice tavern to catch up and have a nice meal, this is your place!

Very small space. Normal restaurant/bar. Pretty much just a local well known spot. If you are local and haven't been then go and check it off your list. If you are a tourist then there are better places to try.
Excellent bacon wrapped in fig back great and friendly staff
Mac N Cheese was perfect - the best ever! It was bursting with flavor rich and “cheesy” and pasta was cooked to perfection!! I absolutely love Mac n cheese and Compass’ did not disappoint. Also tried the beet salad which was delish as well - lots of tender yellow and red beets garnished with mandarin oranges pistachios on top of arugula with a yummy dressing! Service was excellent and food came out very quickly!! Be sure and try Compass next time you’re in Carlsbad!!
This place was outstanding! Super friendly service. Our server was talkative and when we asked for descriptions of different dishes, she gave us a full run down. My dinner was awesome. I had for an appetizer: bacon wrapped corn dog. My meal was a porkchop covered in this most wonderful tasting sauce along with a spacetime that was outta this world. My hunny had 3 Jumbo Scallops and King crab and a truffles mushroom risotto.We are definitely going to visit again. Great ambiance.
Happy hour was delicious; a cute and short menu. We enjoyed the bacon wrapped corn dogs, shishito peppers, and Cubanitos. The 202 was light and yummy, perfect for a sunny afternoon.
