Harlow's Restaurant, Cocktail Bar & Lounge - Bonsall, California

What a little hidden gem in Bonsall. This is a great spot for a date night or if the boys want to go have a cigar. We made a reservation and went in the evening, where we got to enjoy some really nice live music, and unique plates, such as rabbit, with pancetta, elk meat and fried Quail, just to name a few. The meatballs we got were made with boar, and were not as hot as I would've liked, so I think they were just reheated. But apart from that, everything did taste fresh and was made with great care and nice presentation. The whole vibe of the place is prohibition style, so if you wanted to dress up in old style clothing you could. They have a cigar bar next door called The Humidor and also plenty of parking and a small outdoor space with cornhole.
Good cocktails too! All drinks were picked roughly $14-17. Would recommend for your next date night!

The decor in this establishment was amazing! I dressed up in 1920s gear when I went and various people came by to give me compliments (which was very nice)...staff and people were all really nice! I will definitely go back!

Update: this was one of many of our visits to Harlow's. We love this place! The food is great and the service is better. You really should check it out.

This was our first visit to this really unique place. It certainly will not be our last. The atmosphere and décor are something to be experienced. There is a very hip vibe but it is also very relaxing.
Our drinks were fantastic and expertly mixed by Dave and Matt at the bar. The staff was so friendly, nice and helpful. The menu is certainly different in the selections of food. We had the Lobster stuffed Sole and Pork Medallions. Both dishes were excellent. Don't forget to try the Beets salad. It's large and very flavorful. Lexi was our waitress and was very helpful and gave excellent recommendations.
We can't wait to come back on one of the nights when they have live music. You really need to check this venue out!

I honestly have no complaints outside of the fact that it was hot. The food was amazing, the staff that I spoke with were amazing and helpful. Their cheesecake was bomb. The rabbit cigar thing and wagyu slider…amazing. Absolutely recommend and absolutely will go back. Expect to spend some money, and do not expect a lot of food (this is not TGI Fridays.) and most importantly, be open to trying new things. You’d be surprised. I had never had rabbit or Quail until my visit.

We came here upon the recommendation of a client of ours. We were in awe over the atmosphere, service and freshness of the food. Haley took such great care of us. She made recommendations based upon her own preferences and those of the other customers. We wanted to be adventurous in trying new things and we are so glad! The venison was so tender and flavorful, the sea scallops were delicious and bread pudding topped it off. We had a smoked old fashioned that they smoke at the table and the entire experience was too notch. Tim the manager came by to check on us and is really appreciative of our business. This place is a hidden gem!

Wow! This is a hidden gem. I am reluctantly providing a review because I want to keep this place under the radar. The atmosphere is laid back. The decor is very cool and provides a mix of art deco and art nouveau. The staff is amazing. Matt and Dave made some excellent cocktails. Hailey our waitress was awesome and made some excellent recommendations. The food was excellent and fresh. We started with their special, rabbit cigars. Think of it as an egg roll stuffed with rabbit. It came with two dipping sauces; a chimichuri and mango. So, so good. I took a picture after we ate half the entree. Our next dish was the southern fried quail with polenta. Absolutely delicious. We can't wait to go back and try more of their recommendations.

The bar and restaurant are eclectic and super original. Beautiful to the eye and fun to visit.
Great menu with wild game and perfectly crafted cocktails.
The food is superb and the service equally matched. Food and corkage fees are within reason to be able to enjoy more from the menu.
Recommend a visit soon. Make reservations!

Love this place! Harlow's is an eclectic and unique experience. The service is top of the line, the food is excellent. Sit at the bar and meet the friendly bartenders, David or Matt, who will make you a delicious drink. Or hang out in the funky mid century modern/ art deco lounge for a pre-dinner cocktail. The dinner menu is a treat. The dishes are shareable of you like. Lots of flavors. We had the lobster stuffed sole and pork medallions. Next time will try the venison. Definitely going back again and bringing special friends.
