    Seltzie
    Jeremy S.

    Great spot located right in the heart of the up and coming South O... If you've been to the OC location, you'll know that the beer here is delicious. But... what really steals the show is the Seltzers, sooo good and highly recommended! Nice indoor/outdoor seating, friendly staff and plenty of food options nearby (tanners or corner pizza).

    Forza Italian Pilsner! I love this beer

    I come through here about once a week for either a few pints or beer to go and the staff is always great and beer is always top notch. Loving the Forza Italian Pilsner! Have met Gavin the new manager a few times and he's always a delight. You can order from the Corner Pizza next door too which is cool. Gonna hit the vinyl-only DJ set tonight!

    Artifex is the perfect spot for a casual night out, laid-back date night or a lazy afternoon. Solid selection of tasty brews and you can order food from Corner Pizza right next door to be delivered to you! What makes this place really shine is the super friendly and attentive staff. I think I found my new go-to spot :) Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!

    Small friendly brewpub with great options. This place is in a nice pocket of cool restaurants and businesses making it a great destination or add-on. Folks working are friendly and knowledgeable, ready to provide a sample or info. Beer tastes great and they have cans and many styles to choose from. Good place to make friends, the vibes are positive.

    Loved this place!! The staff was so great and nice even though they were busy. Beer was good and overall just an amazing experience! I'll definitely be coming back.

    The drinks and atmosphere were delectable and Gavin the manager was one of the most welcoming people I've ever met.

    On two occasions I came here and had two different kinds of experiences. Both were Dam good times…read more. The first time was after roller skating nearby and I was one HUNGRY beaver! So my friend Nanci and I turned to Yelp for help. She had been to this location before and I frequent the Vista tavern and grill (mainly when Jimmy Paton is playing) with my family. Knowing that this one wasn't a restaurant we looked up on their calendar and excitedly saw that the Oishi sushi fusion pop up would be here. I've had them elsewhere several times and am a fan of them! AND we also saw that they have live music on Friday nights too! Oh yeah! This day the music was by Kimmi Bitter duo with Willis Farnsworth. I love the 60/70's vibe that they've got going on! Definitely a fun FriYay night out with our favorite of things ie Grub, drink AND what felt like a VIP live music show! I loved the open floor plan especially because after that fun workout prior I was able to cool down with the fresh air. Cuz I was one sweaty Betty, Ha! We noticed that they have BINGO on Thursdays and so the pre-planning of my 50th birthday spinning wheels in my head began! How perfect that my actual birthday fell on the same day as a bingo night. Spinning Meats Mediterranean pop up would be there. Rain or Shine. You see it's usually very hard to plan an actual birthday event for my birthday because it's so close to the hustle bustle of the Holidays. It also likes to be a rainy day. We lucked out here! I called and spoke to Ashley (forgive if I got the name wrong but that's what this old brain remembers). about making reservations and she informed me that it really is a free-for-all/first come basis as far as the table seating goes. But she did reserve one high communal table for me, RSVP for a half an hour prior to the first BINGO game. That worked out perfectly as my event was more casual and my friends would be trickling in and out during the evening. Several of my guests that attended my event are fellow YELPers too and we are always recommending our favorite places with one another. The entire venue felt like it was my own as we befriended strangers and shared other tables, luv and laughs all around & even shared my cake with them too. I was having surgery just days after this event so I only had one seltzer drink and it was good. I love that it didn't have fake dye coloring in it. My friends loved the place, their brews, and I loved their presence! Thank you BBB~O'side crew. You were amazing! Tho a bit bummed that no one out of my group won a bingo game but one guy won twice!?! How!?! Scratches head. We had a great time and truly am looking forward to my/our next experience here!

    We had a great experience at this Oceanside location and enjoyed the Thursday night bingo and food…read morefrom Spinning Meats. The staff was gracious in reserving a big table so we can our friends join us in celebrating my wife's birthday. Service has been stellar so far during our visits here. We're are sure to come back for bingo nights and will try some of the other events as well.
