    We landed on this restaurant to watch the World Cup because they had a lot of TV's, including a large TV wall. Good game day crowd, lots of fresh air and natural light with the open air design. Nothing impressive as far as game day specials , best option was bucket of 5 Michelob Ultras for $25, normally priced at $6 bottle for a slight savings. Service was a bit slow, understandable given the crowd. Hostess Campbell and our server Brian were both very friendly and helpful. We ordered the blackened mahi sandwich and some kombucha's. Prices were average and the food was better than bar food, we would go back. In our opinion this is one of the better places to watch sports in DT Oceanside. Street parking only, so be prepared to walk a little. Establishment is clean and ADA accessible. I did not see anyone with dogs, however, there are two patio seating options.

    Met a ladies lunch group of .6 here and Allysa was a pro waiting on us and answering questions regarding the menu. It was pretty extensive and I almost missed the lunch deal- 1/2 sandwich with side for $14!! What a deal for a Cardiff crack sandwich and sweet potato fries which I happily paid extra 2$ for. So many choices and all of us left happy and full. You could have a salad, brussel sprouts, or other choices with sandwich. Lots of beer choices of course too. The location is perfect on the corner with ocean breezes coming in and lots of seating. There's garage parking next door and validates tickets which I recommend- especially if here on a Thursday as the street fair tows cars after 1 for the vendors.

    Excellent spot for sport, this is my new world cup headquarters.

    Just a solid well-run restaurant. I've eaten here four times and it has always been pleasurable. I recommend the blackened mahi sandwich with garlic truffle fries and try the peach cobbler for dessert. Great place to watch sports especially the world cup! Indoor and outdoor seating right in the heart of Oceanside one block away from the beach and strand. Niki was a warm and friendly bartender.

    The worst experience at any bar ever. I came to Oceanside to work on an interpreter assignment and then I decided to stay and watch Spain-Portugal game. I went to a pizza place and ate and watched first half but due to parking limitation I had to moved my car and so I parked close by this Biergaden and saw the huge screen and also saw the sign coffee outside so assumed they also had coffee drinks. The manager came and I asked for a coffee and told me they only had back coffee but if I went to the coffee shop by the corner and grabbed a coffee there I could come back and he would let me drink it watching the game. I told him I already ate and that only needed a coffee and of it was ok and he told me yes. So I went to the corner shop, got my cappuccino, came back, sat at the bar and already met friendly folks when he came after some minutes of me being there (and I told a waiter sorry I am drinking coffee from outside, your manager said is ok, he smiled and said no problem). Then the manager comes with the menu and told him I am sorry I am not hungry you told me I could be here to finish watching the final part of the game. He told me 'i am running a business here' pretty rude and in front of others and even I completely understand, he misled me to believe I could get something from the outside and come back even when I told him I was not planning to eat...today. It does not mean I was not going to come another day with a bunch of my friends and spend a lot of money in food and drinks. This situation was very embarrassing and won't be coming back. This was an important game in the World Cup and he could have been courteous because is not like the bar was packed and they were mega busy. I am glad that downtown a oceanside is full of plenty cool bars and restaurants that are not acting the same way.

    One of the few places open late on a weekday and for all the craft beer lovers, this place has a good variety of local beers that you would definitely enjoy. I was hungry and had to stop by for a bite and since their kitchen was open till 10pm I got a chance to get a bite. They have all the finger foods, burgers, sandwiches and plates here as most brewery style restaurants do. I wanted something a little hearty so I had ordered their Hawaiian Chicken Katsu plate which comes with Rice and Macaroni Salad. The food was alright, the breading was not really the Japanese panko but it's a brewery so it did the job. The place itself is nice, and they have a nice indoor and outdoor area along with their nice bar area. Definitely a place to get some good beers and drinks along with a bite.

    Literally the BEST place to watch sports, there are so many TV's! Been coming here for the World Cup and it's always so fun. I love that they play the sound from the event rather than just music too. The drinks are good, the staff is helpful and always cheerful, you can tell they're all friends and get along. Such a fun vibe always!

    Fajitas

    This has been my second time giving this location a try. Great location and lots of TVs to catch any game. Staff has always been friendly and accommodating to put on the game you are wanting to watch. Unfortunately though I have been disappointed in the food order both times. Price doesn't match the quality of food. If I ever go back it will only be for drinks and to watch the game. The meat and shrimp for the fajitas were overcooked and bland. Tortillas were were steal.

    Great happy hour

    Went to Biergarten today with a bestie and it was amazing! The food was great and the drinks were awesome. Our server Haley was great and on top of it! Highly recommend to visitors and locals (like me)!

    It was raw

    Ordered two of the Texas burgers and the bacon was raw. My wife had a bite and was grossed out. I didn't catch it till 3/4 of my burger was gone, hopefully I don't get sick. We did bring it up to the waiter and he just said waived it off. We asked how that specific burger was and he recommended it. He said it was delicious. Also ordered a Shirley temple for my son and tasted like mineral water. Definitely will not be back.

    Inside bar and seating

    The old lab turned into beir garden downtown Oceanside. Great atmosphere. lots of food option. Service was great.

My husband and I stopped in to Frankie's on a recent Saturday at 5pm. Our kiddo had a performance down the street at 6pm so we had a little time to kill beforehand. The neighboring spots looked busy so we decided to go with Frankie's, seeing as they were less inundated at the time and we had a time constraint. Another allure was the sandwich board at the front door advertising discounted cocktails - sold!! Inside there were a handful of patrons at the bar, another table with two additional patrons and maybe a couple on the patio so it was fairly quiet and slow, so it looked promising. We headed up to the bar and hung out behind two empty barstools, the single female bartender greeted us and said she'd be right with us, but then continued chatting up the seated patrons, serving them and their friends that had just joined (AFTER we'd arrived). We moved a little further down to the handoff area where she was making drinks to save her having to come back to us again, and stood there for probably 10 minutes while she took orders and made all the drinks. We commented that she looked like she could definitely use a hand, and she said they were still adjusting into summer hours and determining whether more coverage was needed at this time - I figured 5pm on a Saturday should be primetime, so I'm not sure in what universe having a single bartender makes any sense. Finally we placed our cocktail orders, waited while they were made, and then put our card down for the tab. After we'd paid, I noticed the cocktails were more expensive than advertised on the sandwich board out front - I couldn't find a disclaimer anywhere that said only certain cocktails were included, so while it was a bummer I wasn't about to wait another 10-15 minutes to catch her attention and ask for clarification. Just a heads up to beware of whatever is advertised that might summon you in from the sidewalk, and make sure you ask before you make your selection. Drinks were very subpar, nothing special to write home about. While I can appreciate the Gatsby-esque vibe they're trying to uphold at Frankie's, they really should increase their staffing especially during prime weekend and evening hours, and be more transparent about their specials and what's included and what's not. Hindsight is 20/20, and the low volume of patrons when everything else around it was going off was probably a sign, so we'll skip Frankie's our next go around.

The atmosphere is relaxed, bright, and welcoming, with an amazing coastal vibe that's perfect whether you're grabbing drinks, celebrating a special occasion, or just spending time with friends and family. The ambiance alone makes you want to stay awhile, and the location is hard to beat. I always come here, but this last visit reminded me exactly why I'll always be loyal to this place. I brought my sister here to celebrate her 21st birthday and introduce her to a few drinks. Since she's new to drinking, she wasn't a fan of the first cocktail she ordered. Instead of just leaving it at that, our server took the time to ask what she liked and didn't like, relayed those notes to the bartender, and together they created a drink that was absolutely perfect for her. That is what true customer service looks like. They didn't have to go above and beyond, but they did. They turned what could have been a disappointing first experience into a memorable one that made my sister feel heard and taken care of. It's rare to find a place where the staff genuinely cares about making sure their guests leave happy. Between the beautiful ambiance, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional customer service, The Surf Club continues to earn my loyalty even back when they had their previous name as HELLO BETTY FISH HOUSE. I'll absolutely keep coming back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oceanside.

And watching the gorgeous sunset with a well-made cocktail in hand was the perfect end to our day. We ordered at the bar and had the Mango Guava Spritz and the Miami Pound Machine. They both came in large glasses and were well worth the price. Nice presentation and both were delicious and not too sweet. Just the right amount of alcohol, too, in my opinion. I loved the vibe up there. They had heaters on and cute umbrellas and lighting. It's just a fabulous spot on top of the Brick Hotel. I will definitely be back when I'm in Oceanside again.
