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.

We tried 4 today and absolutely loved them. If you're looking to go out with friends but don't drink alcohol, this place has got you covered with great NA options! The ambiance is so nice. It's very comfortable inside and currently they have cute Halloween window paintings! Ryan also did a great job suggesting the best options for us too! Beyond the great options here we also received such great service. Thank you so much, Ryan! If we lived in Oceanside this would definitely be our go to spot. Hopefully we can visit again soon!

They do charge for extra, which I get, but I wished for a little more to start. Their homemade ranch made up for it though!

Can't wait to come back for the $20 lobster roll weekends ..and once I'm not pregnant, to sample that awesome beer list!

Kilowatt Brewing is an awesome brewery in Oceanside. It gets busy and for good reason…read more Firstly, the staff is amazing - they are friendly and always working non -stop with a great attitude. When I asked how to play a certain board game Kilowatt invented, the staff kindly explained. Secondly, the beer selection was interesting. I tried the pickle beer sour, brewed with herbs found in dill pickles, and it tasted like pickle brine but better. It's the most memorable drink I've had thus far. Thirdly, the interior is filled with neon lights, pinball machines, board games, and more. In the back, there's a speakeasy. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Kilowatt. There was plenty to do and I'd definitely stop by again whenever I'm back in the area.

Anything featuring the short ribs is absolutely divine, and even their French fries are a favorite of mine. I've also had the pleasure of visiting for brunch, which was phenomenal.

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.

What a very cool listening lounge and I'm so glad I stopped in to check it out!…read more I came here on a Friday night as they also have a market set up in their outdoor area, so it was fun to see all the vendors' wares. Everything from clothing to sourdough bread on offer here. I then wandered into the lounge and loved the way the bar is set up, very inviting and super chill. The DJ was also spinning some nice beats and the ambiance was laid back, classy with ocean vibes. I wanted to stay longer and enjoy a drink, but my tummy was calling for me to get some food... I'll come back again another night to enjoy the space as I really liked the vibe a lot!

I got one of the specials (2 empanadas and 2 glasses of wine for $30). All their drinks are made with Korean Soju. They also have a selection of wine and beer. My DIL had the Norwegian Wood and it was delicious - it also packed quite a punch! The food portions were small, but delicious. The truffle popcorn was amazing, as were the beef empanadas.
