I've been wanting to come here since I first heard about it last year. Well, I'm happy to say, it did not disappoint! My husband and I came on Monday night to enjoy a couple of drinks at sunset, and lemme tell you, it was the perfect spot. It's a few blocks from the beach, but you can see the ocean. 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. read more

I have been to Cococabana a few times but usually for drinks with a group of friends. It is a trendy and young rooftop bar in the heart of downtown Oceanside, so it is the perfect stop for a night out with friends. The decor is cute and very Instagramable, plus you get some peek-a-boo views of ocean which is nice at sunset. They often have a DJ which ads to the vibe. We decided to eat here the other night because we are on a mission to rate all the tacos in Oceanside. The food was fine, but these tacos won't be making our top 5 list. They were also pretty expensive for what we got. My recommendation would be to keep this place for drinking and fun hangs instead of dining. Hot tip - I watched multiple people practically kill themselves taking the stairs up but there is an elevator if you go back in the tiki bar. Save yourself!! read more

This is a small but fun spot if you're looking for a drink with a great ocean view. The space itself is pretty small and limited, so it can fill up quickly, but that also gives it a cozy laid-back vibe. You check in by showing your ID first and then walk upstairs to the bar. The bartender was really friendly and the drinks were actually really good and well made. I didn't try any of the food this time, but the drinks alone made it worth stopping by. Overall it's a cool little spot to grab a drink and enjoy the view. read more

Cococabana - Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

Vibrant rooftop restaurant and bar serving tropical drinks and their version of Carribean/Hawaaiian food. We had a group of 10 people reservation for our friend's birthday. Although the restaurant confirmed they can seat 10 people they had to find extra seats for all of us while 7 people crowded into a booth that probably only seats 6 people comfortably. Our waitress was very nice, always checked on us and made sure our experience was great. I ordered the Carribe Welcome cocktail which came in a real coconut. For food I ordered the Hulu Hulu half chicken bc with coconut rice and veggies. All of my food tasted great. Some other people did not feel this way about their food. Some though their chicken sandwich was very dry and needed a lot of sauce to make it taste good. Surf and turf tacos for $18 for 2 small tacos that did not fill them and pork nachos that were very salty. I'd probably come mostly for drinks than the food. read more

Stopped in for a drink and it's a party! Located on the fourth floor, it has some really cool views. We were able to sit with a drink and see the ocean. They also serve brunch! This would be a great place for a girls brunch or a bachelorette party place to stop by. There was a live DJ and it was so cutely decorated read more

Love the rooftop view!!! The atmosphere, the people, the plants everywhere are incredible! It was such a nice day. The restaurant is in a building mixed with other restaurants of the floor so that was pretty cool too. We were luckily able to squeeze in without reservation but sounds having a reservation is a good idea. The menu we got was for breakfast and we were super excited. It was more Hawaiian than Caribbean. I don't think there was any Caribbean dishes on the menu we got. But we got loco moco which tasted more like Indian curry to us but still good. The chicken and waffles were amazing !! Crispy skin! Potatoes were soft and flavorful. Waffles soft, it had some flavor spices to it but I couldn't pin point the flavor but it was so so good. I don't know what I was tasting but pretty great. We were just expecting more Caribbean food so we were a bit surprised seeing the menu. But overall super great love it! read more

Really aesthetic rooftop spot in the downtown area. They really lean into the disco and Hawaiian themes. Service was friendly but unfortunately they made the chilaquiles incorrectly twice for my friend- seems that there is not pineapple salsa and just pico and a standard verde (might be to be in line with the theme). The burger on the loco moco was a bit charred but the gravy saved it. Serving sizes were enough to fill us and drinks were tasty! read more

I absolutely loved this place! The decor makes you feel like you are in Hawaii. Our bartender was great, I think his name was Brent and he made our drinks swiftly and they were so good. I really loved the Mai Tai it had the perfect balance of sweet, tart and liquor. We also got the salt and pepper wings which was perfectly seasoned and the right amount of spiciness! read more

The view here is amazing, we wanted a view of the water and it was so perfect. The restaurant was themed, a tropical hawaiin so most of the dishes had sweet pork in it, but I had no complaints. The drinks were really good. The food came out in a decent time frame. This is a great place for dinner. Service was great. Nachos were literally huge so definitely share it with 1 or 2 other ppl. read more

Our drinks were good--except the Bloody Mary. They didn't serve the steak burrito --which a few of us wanted so we ordered a couple of basic items on the menu. Service was really good and the view from the rooftop was super pretty! We saw a little bit of sun but a tad overcast and chilly for November read more

We came here on our adventure to try out the different rooftop restaurants in SD. You walk up a flight of stairs from the hotel lobby and are transported into a tropical paradise. The staff were very accommodating to us because of our early reservation. We ordered a combination of food and drinks and had a great time to end the week. read more

Friendly service, clean place. Respectable tropical drinks. Great food, terrific coconut shrimp! Rooftop view!!

I had gone to Stone brewery first. I was told to take the elevator and go to the very top floor. Upon asking somebody where the elevator was. She directed it to me and then stated that's OK. I don't take the stairs either. I informed her that I am currently healing from a broken leg so stairs are not good for me right now. That comment still has not sit well with me. Besides, I wasn't even told that there were stairs available all I was told by a stone brewery employee was to take the elevator. Went up the elevator, was greeted by the bartender who was very sweet. Sat down at a booth. I ordered the espresso martini. It did take a while to get. Well, I ordered a breakfast burrito. I got the breakfast burrito before I got the espresso martini. As I am relaxing, enjoying my first rooftop experience. I asked for a box to go. As I start boxing up my food I pick up with my fork, a piece of egg and a hair popped out of it. I told the server I hate to be that type of person, but I believe there's a hair in my food. Thankfully, she said, the manager said that they can remake it. But I was told that things happen that the wind blows things into items. I didn't have the courage to tell her that the hair was mixed in the egg. I ordered a food item to go. Waited for both the food item to go in my new burrito so I could just leave. I use the inKind web base pay system. As first time rooftop bar experience goes this was not great. Only thing good about it was the espresso martini the bartender who made it, And my waitress. read more

I came here for birthday celebration. The hostesses were very rude. There were many open tables, but we were not able to be seated quickly due to a lack of servers. I had to check several times on the status of the table. We ended up sitting at the bar. Our bartender was phenomenal. The pomegranate margarita was divine. However, the food was extremely spicy. The tacos were so spicy that I couldn't even eat them and ended up eating a side of refried beans as my meal overall, the view from the rooftop was so pretty at sunset, but did not make up for the poor service and the mediocre food. read more

This is one of those places that's definitely a great start to the night for a drink or two before you venture out for dinner reservations somewhere else. It's a rooftop bar, very small, very intimate. Great views of the beach and even better during sunset. They have beers and mixed drinks, a little something for everyone's palate. Now you'll have to go through the restaurant on the first floor and take the elevator up. So why the 3 stars? Security was a rude jerk at the door to let us get to the elevator. There was no signs stating to check in with staff, or line forms here to get upstairs, buddy was on a power trip! Like I mentioned before, the bar is small and seating / tables are tight, so good luck grabbing a seat! read more

This is a cute spot to hang out with your girls or your boo. Beautiful view of Oceanside with some shady spots, and also sunny spots. Bring your shades and maybe sunscreen. Our server, Ashley, was great. My girl friends all ordered the tri tip breakfast burrito and they had their own special requests. They got it right! They also have a homemade hot sauce similar to Tabasco (vinegar based), but was good. I ordered the avocado toast and I'd order it again. The romaine lettuce was nicely dressed with the perfect yolky over easy egg on top. They don't have it on their menu, but two of my friends got the bottomless mimosas served with orange, guava, and pineapple juice. read more

Super cute Rooftop bar! We were walking around downtown and happened to look up and saw all the decorations so we decided to check it out. Drinks were yummy and the food looked good as it came out. Perfect place for a bachelorette party stop or girls brunch. The rooftop bar is located on the fourth floor and it's only stair access only, but there is another bar on the ground level if that's an issue for you. At the rooftop they have both bar and table seating. They also have a DJ booth so I imagine it gets pretty lively at night. read more

Fun spot on a warm sunny afternoon. Loud DJ but good music. Good drinks and food. No real view of ocean, just partial view because hotel is only 3-4 stories. I'd return. read more

Cococabana is such a great location for drinks with friends, light bites, or a full-on dinner with a view! Our group was (admittedly) a little rowdy; catching up with friends who moved out of town, what else can be expected? Our server was a champ about our energy, though. The vibes are immaculate, with a stunning rooftop overlooking Oceanside. So excited to return for a full meal! read more

I've been back multiple times now because I love this rooftop bar! We made reservations via Open Table and got seated right away. The service is always great. Our waitress checked in on us regularly. There was a DJ playing that evening so the ambience was perfect for a summer night. We ordered the volcano nachos which I think were amazing and enough to share with 2 people. The shrimp tacos were served well and they were good. I ordered a mocktail and loved it! I highly recommend stopping by for a drink and bite to eat. read more

Best place to have drinks and watch the sunset! Service is always great. Next time we will try the food. Get the Miami Pound Machine cocktail. You will love it. But sip slowly since it's very strong! But not too sweet. read more

The spot is really cute and I love the rooftop bar. The bartender was doing an awesome job, keeping the ambience and the vibes up. my only thing is that they gave us the bottom of the plantain chips with a whole lot of guacamole so we had probably a cup of guacamole left after we were trying to get all the crumbs I just wished they gave us more plantain chips for $16 Besides that I will be coming back cause it's a really cute spot and the service was good read more

Beautiful sunset view and good cocktails! We enjoyed the Maple Brussels Spouts and they were so delicious!

Loved coming here for brunch, especially on the rooftop! I made reservations ahead of time as I knew it gets quite busy. Glad I did because we were seated right away on a very busy rooftop. The view was pretty cool from the rooftop (would be better without the other towers blocking the beach but that is neither here nor there). Our waitress and her service were both fantastic! We were able to order quickly and our espresso martinis never emptied. Our mimosas were great too. My personal favorite was the guava mimosa. My husband had the tri tip egg burrito and he absolutely loved it! It honestly was really good and the green house salsa on the side was a great touch of spice. I had the Kalua scramble and it was perfection. The Kalua pork was delicious and the pineapple poco de gallo was the cherry on top. We also ordered the Hawaiian donuts and they were perfectly sugary and fluffy as expected. The miso butterscotch wasn't noticeable but the donut was still delicious. With great views, wonderful service, and delicious food, what more could you ask for? read more

My party and I were looking for a fun brunch spot heading home from our bachelorette trip, and this was the PERFECT spot! Everyone enjoyed their food (especially the french toast!) and even the food was incredibly aesthetic, perfect for those instagram shots. Our servers were very kind and even celebrated the bride and gave her a free treat! I will say it's quite a hike to get up to the rooftop so take the elevator if needed! (-sincerely, a group of girls all in heels!) Overall it was such a great experience and we would come here again if ever in the area. read more

Originally I was going to have brunch at Q& A but when we walked in, I noticed there were stairs going up... I figured hey why not see what's up there... maybe more seating? Nope, a rooftop seating area for Cococabana! A beautiful day in Oceanside to have mimosas and some yummy brunch. I'm so happy I took that random decision because omg we had such a good time. You pretty much seat yourself and order at the bar for your food and also have to leave your card. But I can't complain because once the food and drinks came out, it felt like heaven! I cannot wait to return the food was delicious and drinks were made to perfection! I would even love to stay at the Brick Hotel for an experience. I'm definitely coming back read more

Wow, what a vibe! I absolutely loved the decor. The views are great, the service is awesome and the food was good. The DJs last night were so fun! They really made it easy to have a good time.

I have been here a few times and I decided to cross check my receipt to my bank account. It seems our bartender decided to give herself an additional $20 tip on top of the $10's I tipped.

My experience was very underwhelming. Me and a couple girl friends walked in on a Sunday to the rooftop bar, the bar area was fairly empty which I was excited about. I've tried going to this place before but it's always so packed. We get to the bar where there were two girls working, no one greeted us. For at least 5 minutes we stood there while the bartenders made drinks. It wasn't until my friend asked her how the day was going that the bartender spoke to us. We tried ordering a drink which they couldn't make because they were out of an ingredient. So we ordered the disco ball that is meant for two or more people. To me, it was not worth $60 unfortunately. The service was lack luster and seemed everyone working was forced to be there. I would never come back there. Such a buzz kill. read more

Loved the view, the vibe, the service, music, some of the flavors Dislikes: - Took the stairs and arrived disoriented. They need a sign telling us where to go/what to do. Found the elevator entrance and asked staff for support. - Ordered the hash which overall was yummy but the potatoes were not soft or crispy, they were very firm and borderline undercooked. Pork was a little too salty and the tri tip was way too salty. Coffee wasn't good. Overall I would come back and try other menu items. Staff made up for everything. read more

We came down for the sunset Oceanside marketplace to try some different ethnic foods. Saw the rooftop bar from the street fair atop The Brick hotel. Since the street booths do not offer alcohol, we decided to give it a shot. Great view, ambiance, the server Mariah was fantastic. We might even stay at the hotel. Pictures of the rooms look fantastic. And if we weren't so full from the food from the fair we would have tried their food as well. Right around the corner from the train stop so you don't have to drive here!! *" In the copper swan is a drink called "Havanna good time". read more

The his place is so cute. I was there on a Friday night and the dj played good music and the drink menu was fun. It was as easy to grab a booth. I love a good rooftop bar.

absolutely love this place! instagram worthy for sure. the decor is stunning and truly takes inspiration from the tropical getaway destinations making you feel truly transported out of oceanside. the view is amazing and you can see downtown and the beach. the staff was SO great. we got there right when they opened on a saturday and were the first people there. the waitress was so sweet, and very attentive to anything we needed. we did the bottomlesss mimosas, which truly are fantastic and they kept topping off anytime we were half empty. the chilaqueles were great, but i wish the salsa was a bit spicier. still would order again and again. overall such a cute brunch vibe for you and your friends! im sure it would be a fun happy hour spot too read more
