I wasnt going to drop this review , however I cant keep this a seceret any longer…read more The service here is on point,Deb is the shiz , the food is actually good for bar food. The drinks are stiff as a marine on his first night in TJ. Two pool tables to keep you entertained between the tortas and the hotties if you know what I mean.

When it comes to sports bars, Oceanside, California has many for local patrons to enjoy…read more One of the better destinations is also the oldest sports bar known as the Red Rooster. Red Rooster sports bar has been serving the community of Oceanside for over 60 years. Even though they recently had a change of ownership, the new owners are also local and they left local management in charge. This effectively means that nothing has changed, and they are still providing some of the best bar, food and ambience, as well as drinks! They just cleaned up the bathrooms and a little bit of the interior decor. When it comes to food, the Red Rooster is known for their famous Rooster Burger. This burger is legendary within the community. I also love their crispy fries that are well seasoned. More recently, they have also added $.69 chicken wings on Wednesdays. This deal is available with the purchase of a beer. They also have cider available as well. Although they have a few basic flavors on their regular chicken wing menu, on Wednesdays, they add a lot more flavors to the special. These sauce, flavors alternate weekly, and it adds a nice variety. Most recently, I enjoyed the teriyaki, the bourbon bbq, honey mustard, general tso and my favorite is the lemon pepper. The interior looks much like a divey sports bar, equipped with one pool table and a few high-table seating available. There is also a backyard seating area with a fire pit, that is also fenced off. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Red Rooster at least once to experience their burger, their chicken wings, and a small piece of historic Oceanside vibes.

The burgers were fantastic as were the onion rings. The bar tender also cooks the food. Don't be in a rush as the order took over 20 minutes but worth the wait. 2 burgers, onion rings and 2 Modelos came to$50 without a tip. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

This happened few months ago and I tried to give it a few more chances as this one of the only higher end cocktail lounges from Oceanside. 2. Last night I witnessed extreme domestic abuse at the bar, the bartenders allowed it to happen and did nothing. Avoid this bar, the bartenders literally spike drinks, and allow violence as if it's common occurrence

Aside from service, I've never heard good things about the food here either so I've never tried but the times where I wanted to try, the kitchen was always closed. But its a chill hangout with lots of draft options. In the end its nothing to rave about but if you're not looking for much, this place is a go to... as long as the bartender doesn't kick you out before closing because she needs to sweep.
