Larry's Beach House has become my go-to karaoke spot, and honestly, it's been more than just a bar for me. There were times when money was tight, and I even found myself doing my own little data science experiment to figure out the most cost-effective drink that would last me through three hours of karaoke without breaking the bank. What keeps me coming back isn't just the drinks or the music. It's the community. On days when I felt stressed, discouraged, or just plain awful, I'd show up anyway, put my name on the list, and sing my little heart out. Somehow, every time, the room reminded me that it's okay to be yourself. The staff, regulars, and fellow singers have helped create an environment where everyone gets their moment on stage, whether they're amazing singers or just there to have fun. Larry's Beach House has become one of those rare places where strangers become familiar faces and a rough day can end on a much better note. read more

Larry's Beach Club - Karaoke Near Me - Oceanside, California

Apparently there is some important man, with rude comments who controls the narrative of the room. "Santiago" the bar back was his name. He was standing at the rear of the karaoke bar entrance made disrespectful comments about "whites". I walked into the karaoke room and approached the bar, I tripped on the uneven floor and noticed the poorly marked elevation changes in the bar floor area. I laughed with my friend and mentioned out loud what a liability this floor would be. I looked down laughing again at the sticker on the floor that says "don't stand here". As an insurance liability inspector, it's a problem, but we laughed it off. I had no idea I had rubbed this predominant man "Santiago" the wrong way, he was listening, standing alongside the bar, mocking me to his friends, helping himself to the liquor behind the bar and was smugly pouring it into his buddies glasses. As he put the bottle back he said to his buddies , "at least that whity can follow directions", referring to me and the sticker on the floor. He gave me a smile, disappeared for a moment , returned with the bouncer who suddenly asked us to leave. read more

This is a dive bar and one that caters to locals. One side of the bar hosts a live band and the other side hosts karaoke.There were quite the mix of people in there, but mostly young white surfer types. This bar is pretty dingy and the bathrooms are disgusting. You're safer with a bottled beer than a mixed drink. There is a pool table and some people dance. Cigarette smoke and bud permeate the air but if you manage your expectations you'll probably have a good time. Had a great time people watching in here. read more

Disappointing and Unsafe - Do Not Recommend for Transfolks I am incredibly disappointed and shaken by my recent experiences here. This establishment markets itself as an inclusive, LGBTQ+-friendly establishment, but that welcoming atmosphere completely vanishes if you are trans. While the bar claims to be a safe space, the actual environment tells a very different story. During my visits, I have experienced blatant hostility, including multiple derogatory comments from other patrons. The situation escalated severely in the parking lot, where people yelled transphobic slurs at me and actively tried to instigate a physical fight. Management and security need to do a serious reality check about who they are letting in and how they enforce their supposed "inclusive" policies. Marketing yourself as a safe space means actually protecting the community, not just using the label for good PR. If you are trans or gender-nonconforming, please be extremely careful or avoid this place entirely for your own safety. read more

It was a terrible experience. Absolutely not the place to go if you wish to be treated like a lady at all. My Friend and I went there and shared a seat after asking if it was OK for us to sit down next to this group of guys. The group of guys said yes, you can sit in the seat so my girlfriend and I were sharing a seat. The next thing you know, about five minutes later, this random man walks up (who looked like he didn't have any issues medically but who knows), asked us if he could have his seat back. The rest of his male friends who just told us that we could sit there just stared like they didn't just give us permission to sit there. My girlfriend and I got up from our shared seat and decided to leave. It was a very unpleasant experience, not to mention the bartender never even said hello. Again, definitely not a place for a lady. read more

T and Chris kicked me and my drunk buddies out with the utmost professionalism. T also triaged an 80 year old woman that tripped back to full health and she ordered a beer shortly after, great place!! read more

Blond w worst tweak out treating me and my boyfriend today after a long trip. Worst customer service ever.

SUCH A VIBE! Moved to the area a few months ago and this is the spot to be! If you're looking for a good time and good vibes LBC is the place. Karaoke on one side and a live band on the other. Mixed crowd which makes it fun and enjoyable. They also have great service. The cherry on top is the Photo Booth! read more

Music was great, much better vibe there than years ago when we went. Had chicken wings that were good read more

We had such a blast drinking here while visiting Oceanside. I love the vibe and the people are friendly and fun. We had so much fun singing karaoke . The Dj Keeley is very good . read more

Larry's Beach Club - Karaoke Near Me - Oceanside, California

Dive bar with $10-12 mixed drinks, several different sections. Went to see Custard Pie recently, plenty of room to dance!

Stopped by Larrys today, super cool place and William rocks. Thanks for the good service.

I love this place! Whenever I come visit my hometown in Oceanside this place never disappoints. The karaoke room is my absolute favorite and the people watching is the best! Service is great and the bands are usually cover bands that are 70-90s rock when I've been there. This bar is also the one that's featured in my favorite show animal kingdom that was all filmed in Oceanside, but the name is not used on the show. read more

Had a great night here singing karaoke! It was a very lively and supportive crowd when I was up and I think everybody enjoyed my version of Bohemian Rhapsody haha ;-) It's really nice to have a local spot with karaoke where people can just come and have a fun night out. I love local, down to earth bars like these, without charging us an arm and leg for a simple drink. Come and check it out if you wanna have some fun! read more

We had so much fun here last night Birthday Karaoke!! Our bartender was great and I am sure we will be back

You have tons of choices in Oceanside then went to a bar that has nothing except crickets (good help and food) but no jukebox music playing. Owner should invest in playing music all day long...it's inexpensive to create an inviting and music-filled atmosphere. read more

A Karaoke Nightmare If you're considering a visit to Larry's Karaoke Bar, let me save you the trouble; don't. My friends and I recently had the misfortune of spending an evening here, and it was nothing short of a disaster. The DJ, a younger woman with curly hair, completely hijacked the night, making it more of a personal concert than a karaoke bar. She dominated the stage, singing every other song herself and insisting on a minimum of $50 in tips if you wanted even the slightest chance of performing. The signup process was a joke. It's done on a piece of paper with no system to track who's up next or which songs have already been sung. We waited three hours! and not a single one of our group was called to the stage. Meanwhile, the DJ's friends and regulars took turns, some of them singing two or three times. And, of course, when someone didn't show up for their turn, the DJ took it upon herself to sing the entire song; usually a lengthy 4-5 minute track. The atmosphere was toxic, not just because of the DJ's blatant favoritism, but also because of her attitude. She was rude, dismissive, and clearly more interested in hearing herself sing than in letting paying customers enjoy their night. If you're looking for a karaoke bar where you can actually sing, you'd better look elsewhere. Larry's is a place where you'll be forced to listen to the DJ's endless renditions of songs "she" likes, while you wait (and wait...and wait...) for a turn that will never come; unless, of course, you're willing to fork over $50. In short, if you want a karaoke experience that leaves you frustrated, disappointed, and feeling ripped off, then Larry's is the perfect place for you. Otherwise, stay far, far away. read more

Smells like fart the second you walk in and the smell never goes away, but the coolest Dive bar around . They always have live bands and if you're into people watching , this is the place !! read more

Oceanside has really come a long way , as there are many high-end restaurants and night spots which have popped up throughout the town. However, Larry's Beach club has survived all the shutdowns and changes and is going strong since 1980. A classic dive bar which hosts live music several times a week, Larry's is a portal to the 1980's. One step inside and you feel as if you're in a time warp. But that's not a bad thing. Larry's is a great place to go if you want to listen to live music, shoot some pool, have a few beers and eat some chicken wings. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. read more

Larry's Beach Club - Chilaquiles - Karaoke Near Me - Oceanside, California

Been wanting to try this 70+ year old neighborhood dive bar for awhile so I finally rode my bike to meet my brother in law there early on a Friday night. What a cool dive bar. We had some Jamesons while the band was setting up and when they finally started playing our ears perked up. They were killing it with some of the great hits from the 60s through the 00s. By 9pm the place was packed and it was alive! We finished with tequila shots to end a great time. We couldn't stay long but we'll be back! Next time we'll try the food and maybe post another review on that. read more

I dont get out much and since I am recently single and dont know alot of places, Larrys beach club has fit my persona. Zach is the man ! He handles the bar with ease. No matter how crazy it gets, he always maintains his composure even when patriots are yelling at him with vulgar comments. We appreciate you and glad you're there with a smile on your face and patients that must be over filling in your pockets. Thanks again Zach!! read more

Really fun dive bar with live music sometimes and an awesome karaoke room. Drinks are strong and cheap and it's got an old school charm and vibe to it. Nothing glamorous here just a down and dirty hood time. Lots of locals and old timers but I like that about this place. Great service and a family run place! read more

Perfect dive bar in O'side. Our server was nice and attentive. Asked if we could switch the game to the Padres and she allowed it and did it super fast. As a first time patron that was awesome! We had IPAs and margaritas. Splendid. Had the nachos as an appetizer and surprising GREAT for a dive bar. Bathrooms were clean too...how? This is a dive bar!!! Greatly appreciated though read more

The cock has crowed, and it won't be denied! Rooster recently descended upon Kailua Kona like a mohawked herald of Thanos. He sang karaoke at our bar and didn't steal or m and m's. If he is indicative of the caliber of employee/patron of the establishment called Larry's than I shall forever swear it my allegiance. From the top of his Mohawked head to the bottom of his salty feet Rooster made us all feel his Aloha. And his Aloha was turnt and a throbbin'. The islands miss him. read more

SEBASTIAN IS THE BEST EVER service from him fireeeeeee yummy drinks sebastian the realest out there

Good drinks and good food had a Bloody Mary and fried shrimp and a good time. I was on vacation so only went once during the day.

The amount of 1 star reviews should tell ya. What a weird crowd! Lots of pushing, yelling, and throwing up. Cheap drinks cool live band but definitely a weird vibe. read more

Very rude bouncer, any karaoke fan looking to go somewhere on a Friday night. Do not go here, they will try to charge you a $5 cover charge per person for a dumpy karaoke room. Avoid this place, try going to pour house or Carlsbad village instead. Bad customer service, look elsewhere for a fun night... read more

Great time. I don't normally leave reviews, but this was a show stopper. Ben's delivery of Juicy is 10/10, I could appreciate a little more dancing but the overall intensity and pitch, memorization of lyrics...Well, to be completely honest, it's impressive. Would definitely sign him up again. read more

Fun place! Had karaoke in one room and live band in the other and didn't have any sound issues with the two going on at the same time. Decent sized patio area to hang out with tables. Small women's bathroom and stalls are cramped. Bar tenders were spread thin being around a large weekend crowd. Over all not bad and would come back. read more

Long ago, I used to bounce at McCabe's before it became Larry's. Now that it's Larry's it has been a great experience there. The service is good. The times are good. It's just good fun good experience all around come on down to Larry's where it feels like home read more

Food was spot on old-style bar/diner style. Really good portions and with that, Value. Like a walk into the past. High back chairs at the bar, very comfortable while sipping the coldest beer in town and a burger with fries. Suzanne was the bartender, professional and helpful. We were there before the crowd came in so the place had regulars in attendance. They were worth the price of admission! Overall, we loved it and will be back, sooner rather than later. read more

This place needs to be cleaned up, you have to pay to get in, the place is dirty, rude, the security is not licensed, the bartenders wipe the tables with a dirty rag, they serve drinks with dirty hands. The place is not recommended...... read more

I only go there for the Photo Booth. The food isn't bad. It's bar food but only served in the afternoon or early evening. Some of the bartenders poor decent drinks. BAR (born and raised) O'siders love it. I would rather drink at home. But everyone should try it for themselves. Don't listen to me. read more

It's a beach bum locals bar. Nothing special but it does get popping on the weekends if you like rock and Karokee. Bartenders are ehh and the drinks are ok as well. I go to see friends and socialize bits it's Larry's. read more
