Update: Black Plague Brewing has closed its doors permanently as of September 28th…read more This was such an amazing brewery, and we are so very sad to see it go...especially so abruptly. Thank you for the amazing beer, great atmosphere, and outstanding customer service. You will be missed.

They have high tops and lots of long dining-style tables so you can bring a group of any size. I tried the Medusa milk stout which was SUPER good, which is saying something considering I'm not a beer drinker. It was sweet, bold and everything I look for in a stout. They also make a really tasty hazy IPA. The bartenders and staff were super chill, and overall, this is a great brewery! Definitely worth a visit next time you're in the area. If you're looking for food, they have a food truck that they operate just in front of the entrance. I couldn't find the menu online so I took a picture while I was there and I'm posting it here for anyone who wants to see it.

I stopped by here for lunch while walking around Oceanside Beach, and I'm so glad I did! The food…read morewas absolutely delicious. For the price, the tacos were huge and incredibly filling. These days, it's hard to find tacos loaded with that much meat and fresh guacamole, especially on freshly made tortillas. It was such a great value. My favorites were the carne asada taco and the birria taco--both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. If I'm ever back in Oceanside, this will definitely be one of my first stops!

It came with beans. It was very tasty and well-spiced (not too hot). The guacamole was generous and the chips typical. Service was reasonable.

If you haven't visited Green Cheek yet, you're doing it wrong!…read more Green Cheek has the best selection of craft beers, and even some seltzers. The food is absolutely fresh and amazing, with options for Vegan, Keto, and Pescatarian diets. This brewery has a few locations throughout Southern California and we're so happy they're in Oceanside. Service is always friendly and helpful (given how many beer options they have)! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Can get a little loud on nights and weekends. Kid- and dog-friendly! Parking is tricky, but they do have their own lot in the heart of Downtown Oceanside I think.

Bring your own Coaster!…read more This was my first time visiting Green Cheek in Oceanside (I live near the Costa Mesa location). The location is great and of course, all the different areas to drink beer in here whether it be inside, the outside balcony or garden area. they're all very nice. We ordered a pizza and some beers which hit the spot. They don't give you any coasters for any of your drinks and there's no air-conditioning so when it's hot out, your beers are definitely sweating all over the counter and then when you pick them up they're dripping all over you. I asked for coasters and they don't have any so just bring your own. The staff is super friendly and our beertender's Aric and Nikki were so awesome. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

We were greeted and seated quickly, came on a Sunday around 8:30 pm…read more Our waiter was very knowledgeable with the menu, gave us suggestions that at first we thought were just him kinda talking the dishes up, but dang whoever is cooking in the kitchen knows what's up! lol They knew how to sear a steak better than most! and made some amazingly moist/juicy perfectly fried chicken! I promise you it's really that good, please try both. Our cocktails were PERFECTLY made. The staff was on it, I mean you can tell they work as a team. Different ppl checking on us (but not in an overbearing way) clearing plates, making sure the food was to our satisfaction. Always filling waters. Very friendly. I haven't had this good of a restaurant experience in years. Idk if we just got lucky or this is how it always is here since today was our first visit, but we will definitely be back and hopefully capture this magic again lol Ambiance was ok, the other patrons were a little loud but I expect that on a Sunday late at night. Decor was interesting and place has a cool lounge area. Big bar! :) Highly recommend this place! :)

We came here Labor Day weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday…read more My dad had called ahead to reserve a table since it was 6 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated right away. We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.

This was my first time visiting and the counter staff could not have been nicer or more helpful…read more Thankfully, they helped me select a flight of five beers, three of which I really liked. And if you are a fan of dark, heavy, and/or bourbon barrel beers like me, the Corylus is a grand slam. It is both delicious and extremely boozy so bring along a designated driver to avoid a DUI. They probably had 20 beers or more to pick from with a heavy emphasis on the IPAs--shocker, I know. I am not a huge IPA guy but if it is good, it is good. The place is airy and comfortable. It is also family friendly. They offer a variety of empanadas, if you want some food with your beer. We tried a few of them and the ham and cheese version was the clear winner. Honestly, the empanadas were nothing special and, my guess is, they were originally frozen. I eat a ton of frozen food so I am not being critical of frozen foods, ok? I liked them but I didn't love them. Parking on the weekend is extremely tough in Carlsbad but the nearby train station has a parking lot that stretches for miles. I imagine it is supposed to be used only for train customers but everyone parks there and it is freeeeeee. Very nice beer and very comfortable environment. They also offer a number of refrigerated canned beers for sale.

Lauren is the reason I'm writing this review. She works the taproom at Pure Project Carlsbad and…read moreshe's just the best. Always smiling, genuinely happy to be there, and she knows every beer on the list inside and out. She'll take her time walking you through the tap list, no rushing, even on a busy night. Talking to her is genuinely one of the best parts of coming here. The rest of the staff at this location is great too, but Lauren is just especially great. And the beer backs it all up. Best beer we've had anywhere, not just San Diego, not just California. Between the beer and Lauren, this is our go-to spot. If you're in north county, go. And hope Lauren's working when you do!

Bottlecraft has several locations, but we have both agreed that the Oceanside location is our favorite. Bottlecraft is a bottle shop and tasting room - This means that you can taste a variety of beers, which taps continuously rotating - then pick up cans of your faves.. or try brand new cans to bring home. We love to grab a spot at the bar {typically to watch whatever sporting event is on TV}, or on the back outdoor patio space if we come with a group. When seated at the bar area, you can also chat with the amazing beertenders and ask for their recommendations if you're unsure what to try {I will always recommend a good Hazy or Double IPA}. The team here is always on point - Providing fantastic service as well as friendly conversation while you enjoy your brews! Not a beer drinker?! Hard Kombucha, Cider, Wine and Non-Alcoholic options are available - There is something for everyone! While enjoying your brews, if hunger hits, visit Shootz Fish & Beer - This is a stellar food spot tucked in the corner as you enter the shop. Do not skip out on the Potato Taco! It's the perfect pairing with a good beer - You will thank me later for introducing this combo into your life! ;-) Along with phenomenal beer, Bottlecraft is pet friendly and just a hop skip and jump to the beach - What's not to love here?! Calling all beer peeps - Are you on Untapped?? If so, let me know.. I'd love to connect and see what brews you are currently loving.. or not.

I was able to find beers that I have not been able to find anywhere else. Tried the sour that was on tap and bought the cascade kriek sour. There is a small corkage fee if you buy bottles and want to consume them there but it's worth it. They have a nice outdoor area that seems to be connected to the other businesses they are connected to. Will come back to try more beers.
