I love my hometown! It's been awhile since my last visit back home. I flew out to celebrate my buddy's birthday. I arrived early with another friend to catch the college games. I'm so glad we did. I had the best time at this spot. The staff was awesome. They are just cool, laid back people with that "O'side vibe". If you grew up in Oceanside you know what I mean. We have a great time just hanging out, laughing about whatever, (like random people coming in and giving big tips) and about growing up in Oceanside. Thank you for having a great place to celebrate with friend and family!
This is my favorite dive bar to watch the game. Watch any game, all teams and fans are welcome here. Manners and a polite conduct count in this dive bar. The staff is friendly and expect you to keep a positive polite attitude. For example, my team was playing and a fellow patron also in attendance support my team, got out of hand and was asked to leave by the second quarter because his commentary was extremely loud and peppered with RUDE commentary. The fries and the tater tots are great! The beer selection is typical of San Diego county, hop forward and high a.b.v. If beer is not your style they mix stiff drinks. Two pool tables and two dart boards to keep you entertained when your team is not cutting it. The bathrooms are clean so don't be afraid to take a date. A great place to catch your team.
It was my first time there we went to see the band Black Pearl (Roots Rock Ska). The band was really good they have a nice outdoor setup. Lots of room outside. Beer wine white claw was on the menu. They have a limited food menu during live events. We had chicken wings, garlic parmesan and barbecue. They were both tasty. We also had chicken strips, mozzarella sticks, and french fries they were all good! We received excellent customer service from our server Rachel. She was Bomb, super friendly and helpful. There are two nice pool tables in the front by the bar. There are partitions between the tables for Covid. Masks are also required. Just FYI there's only one bathroom Fun time was had by all
Excellent place for fun very chill great bar food .
As a big burger guy, I had to leave a review here, because that was one of the BEST burgers i’ve had in a long time. Beyond that the beer tap selection is awesome. Brian was our bartender/owner and the service was great. Will be back soon
Great beer prices and the hurricane fries are bomb..it's our new local spot!
Highly recommend trying this place out! It's under new management and it definitely feels like it! Bartenders are super friendly and prices are fairly cheap! The food is delicious for a quick bite! Try the Oside dirt burger and the hurricane fries. Bathrooms are well maintained, music is always playing and the atmosphere is super chill! Family owned and locally staffed! Can't beat that! Bring your friends and come have a good time!
