Bluewater Grill happy hour includes seafood appetizers, sushi and selected drinks, but the menu and schedule depend on the restaurant. Carlsbad and Coronado list food from $6 and sushi from $9. Phoenix has its own prices and weekend happy hour. Use your location’s schedule and menu below instead of treating these offers as chainwide.

California Happy Hour Menu
These prices appear on both the current Carlsbad and Coronado menus. They are verified location examples, not national averages. Other restaurants may have different selections and prices; confirm the menu at your intended location.
Carlsbad and Coronado Food
| Item | Price | Serving detail |
|---|---|---|
| Charred edamame | $6 | Edamame appetizer |
| Garlic Parmesan fries | $6 | Fries |
| Crispy calamari strips | $10 | Calamari appetizer |
| Blackened fish tacos | $10 | Two tacos |
| Firecracker shrimp “tacos” | $10 | Two lettuce cups |
| Bar burger and fries | $14 | Fries included |
| Steamed clams | $14 | Clam appetizer |
| Baked crab and artichoke dip | $14 | Crab and artichoke appetizer |
| Oysters on the half shell | $14 | Four oysters |
The burger is the clearest meal-style choice because fries are included. The $10 taco offers specify two pieces, while the oyster price covers four oysters. Those serving details matter when deciding whether to order a snack or several plates to share.
Carlsbad and Coronado Sushi
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Kalifornia Roll | $9 |
| Spicy Tuna Roll | $10 |
| Phoenix Roll | $12 |
| Spicy Avalon Roll | $14 |
| Surfrider Roll | $16 |
| Sashimi Trio: salmon, tuna and yellowtail, 12 pieces | $20 |
The sashimi trio is the explicitly listed 12-piece option. The happy hour menu names these six sushi offers; it does not establish a discount on every roll from the regular menu.
Carlsbad and Coronado Drinks
| Drink category | Price |
|---|---|
| Bottled beer | $6 |
| Draft beer | $6.50 |
| House cocktails, margaritas, wine and bubbly | $9 |
| House vodka or gin martini | $10 |
| Handcrafted cocktails | $12 |
Ask which beers, wines and spirits qualify. The house and handcrafted cocktail categories have different prices, and premium substitutions should not be assumed to cost the same.
Phoenix Happy Hour Menu
Use these prices for Bluewater Grill on Bethany Home Road in Phoenix. Its happy hour menu differs from the California examples above, even when an item has a similar name.
Phoenix Food
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Firecracker shrimp | $14 |
| Blackened fish tacos | $14 |
| Shrimp sliders | $11 |
| Thai chili wings | $11 |
| Calamari fritti | $16 |
| Baked crab dip | $16.50 |
| Bar burger and fries | $12 |
Phoenix does not give the same two-piece description used for the California taco offers. Confirm the serving if portion size is important to your order. The Phoenix burger includes fries and costs $2 less than the listed Carlsbad and Coronado burger.
Phoenix Sushi and Edamame
| Item | Price | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Nigiri | $6.50 | Two pieces: salmon, tuna, yellowtail or walu |
| Hamachi kama | $12 | Listed happy hour item |

| Phoenix Roll | $12 | Sushi roll |
| Spicy Avalon Roll | $14 | Sushi roll |
| Señorita Roll | $16 | Sushi roll |
| Bluewater Roll | $16 | Sushi roll |
Phoenix has more named sushi choices on its happy hour listing. Nigiri is priced for two pieces, while the roll entries are listed as rolls. Do not apply the two-piece quantity to the other sushi items.
Phoenix Drinks
| Drink | Price |
|---|---|
| Draft beer | $6.50 |
| House wine | $8 |
| House vodka or gin martini | $9.50 |
| Handcrafted cocktails | $12.50 |
| Fisherman’s Mary | $13.50 with the listed $1 upgrade |
The Fisherman’s Mary total is the $12.50 cocktail price plus the advertised $1 addition. The California bottled-beer special is not listed on this Phoenix happy hour menu.

Choosing Your Order
At Carlsbad or Coronado, $6 garlic Parmesan fries and a $6 bottled beer total $12 before tax and tip. A $10 order of two blackened fish tacos with a $9 house drink totals $19. These are calculated order examples, not advertised combo deals.
At Phoenix, the $12 burger and fries with a $6.50 draft beer total $18.50 before tax and tip. A $9 Kalifornia Roll and $6 regular edamame total $15. If you want a full meal rather than a small snack, check the portion and included sides before adding several appetizers.
For another seafood-focused option, compare the Pacific Catch Aloha Hour menu. Phoenix visitors can also compare the Buck & Rider happy hour menu.

Ask whether happy hour is available at your intended table, bar or patio seat. Seating eligibility is not stated consistently across the location pages, so a bar rule at one restaurant should not be treated as a rule for the whole chain.
Carlsbad separately advertises Wine Wednesday with 50% off bottles, limited to the first four bottles. That is a separate promotion, not a promise that bottled wine is half price during every happy hour.
For allergies, ask about the dish, sauces and preparation equipment. Fish, shellfish, dairy and wheat appear across these menus. A lettuce-cup description alone does not establish that the item is gluten-free.
