    Great assortment of liqour and drinks. Good prices and open late. Staff was friendly and helpful. Lots of choices of cold beers (not just warm ones shelf). Lots if wines and liquors to choose from.

    Cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling windows adorn this post-modern construction... I kid... Mission reminds me of some infamous IE towns like Perris and Banning. If it wasn't for the beach and the Marines, I wouldn't be able to differentiate between the two. Take for example Balboa Liquor store. If it were located much further inland, it would be beacon of hope to those who are not accustomed to seeing firewood and fruit sold outside of a Stater Bros. But for O-side, this is just your average liquor store. The selection is big but not in a cool way. My idea of a cool liquor store is La Bodega in Riverside; now that place rocks. But Balboa Liquor will get the job done. Plus it's next to an Alberto's so that means burrito and a 40! Taco, taco, burrito, burrito...

    My favorite liquor store. We come here almost every night. I know right alcoholics haha. Everyone that works here are nice and friendly. Also has a great selection of alcohol. As far as the alcohol goes it is a little pricey compared to like Walmart or wall greens but the people who work there make up for the price difference. If you would like for them to get a certain alcohol they will put in a order. They just remodeled the store which is nice and have a flat screen TV so if you need to get caught up real fast you can always just look up the only problem is they always have the charges game on and not the colts. Other then that I can only give four stars because of the prices but other then that please support my local liquor store with all of your alcohol problems.

    It was a good place. I enjoyed it. Kind of pricey on the alcohol, but all in all good overall service.

    They have since rectified the situation from my last review. Good selection on many premium beers and spirits.

    We had such a good time here. I was making frequent trips to Oceanside to visit a family member at…read moreCamp Pendleton over the past couple years. We were looking for a chill place to hang out that was away from all the busyness of downtown. Oceanside Brewing was the perfect place spot being located within a business district. The customer service was super friendly and they made us feel right at home. We spend our evening playing board games while drinking some good beer. It was so much fun and relaxing. This is one of Oceanside's oldest breweries. They keep to the old ways of making craft beer but still bring out more current flavors. They have over 20 beers on tap and a nice variety to choose from. This place is dog friendly and I enjoyed getting the chance to pet everyone's dog. Such a great find!

    Great little place! We were here Saturday evening to celebrate my girlfriends' friend's graduation…read morefrom law school and it's an awesome little place to hang out. I have never heard of this brewery, although I don't get up to Oceanside very often, but it's definitely a place I wouldn't mind coming back to again. It's located just South of the 76 off a quiet little street and is a relatively small place, but all the beers I tried tasted great and the owner Tomas seems like a very personable guy who takes pride in his business. I don't recall offhand how many beers they have on tap, but I want to say it was at least 18 or 20 beers. They also have recommended mixed beers too. For instance, Tomas mixed one of their IPA's with one of their orange flavored beers and it was pretty good. The ambiance here is nice and I could see it being a place to take a date, or for group settings like we were in on Saturday. It seems like they have a following of regular patrons too which I always like to see at bars and breweries. All in all a great place with a genuinely nice owner who takes pride in his business and what he does. Would recommend and hope to make it up here again sometime.
