    a man at the bar

    We had a nice visit here a week ago. We plan on going back tonight to listen to open mike night. We loved the beer, and the service was great.

    Mural. And a cool map.

    Great selection of beer served up with a chill vibe lacking some of the other north county breweries pretention. The variety in the menu was refreshing. An "Easy" lager was an easy drinker. There were three sours available and I would recommend any of them my favorite was "lil sunshine". No curb appeal here, but both the inside and back lanai transport you to another place. Great art. Seems like it would be great for groups or birthday parties. Plenty of room and games to play. The outdoor area is beautifully decorated, the stage is impressive for an outdoor venue. I showed up on a Thursday night and it was "Open Mic". A variety of local musicians and some cool jamming. Street Tacos by Mario was the food offering the carnitas were moist and tasty. Dried up carnitas tacos is one of my pet peeves.

    Don't let the area scare you off, it is located in a weird part of Oceanside... like deep in the business park. We were a little sketch at first to see the place but once we entered it was nice. We tried some flights and got their dunkelweisen for pints. It was delicious. They allow dogs and have a patio area. The decor is beachy. The staffs were nice too! Cool atmosphere.

    Me and a best buddy stopped by here while waiting to skydive a few minutes away. And I'll tell you what, the atmosphere is awesome, sweet games all over the place, good music, and the food truck the day we were here smells and tastes great. I tried their West Coast IPA, the Highlander Amber, and Thomas' new IPA which name is escaping me. All great, loved the vibe and friendly demeanor. Our sky dive got canceled totally sucked, but at least we're in a cool spot. Thanks guys!

    Hidden Gem!! This place is great, you can come just chill and drink beer. Dogs and kids welcome. Staff is super nice and outside space has lots of seating.

    The Flying Dutchman

    Located behind a small door in an old strip mall across from the NCTD office, if you aren't careful you'll pass it by. Because the building is old, the open wood beamed ceiling is legit and from the existing structure vs having been brought in to enhance the decor. Think surf hangout but off the beach. Complementing the theme are old surf boards throughout the brewery. Awesome background tunes. There's a large patio out back. It you can't bring your beer out there. :( No A/C but there's good cross ventilation and a giant fan. A giant chess set and several games included IG Cards Against Humanity are available. For such a small brewery they have an impressive 22 beers on tap. Great service - they let us try a few things if you aren't sure what you want. I zeroed in on the Flying Dutchman. The Flying Dutchman Imperial Porte on nitro has a strong coffee profile with hints of chocolate. Strong and creamy like a good Porter on nitro should be. Think dessert in a cup but without being sickening sweet. At 13.5 ABV this is one kick a@@ beer and it's not enough barrel aged! Hubby got the Corps Hopos, bit too hoppy for me with a strong citrus profile, possibly oranges.

    I was in town visiting from Chicago, IL and decided to check this local brewery out on a late Thursday afternoon. Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Joey. He's personable, funny, energetic, and was in a great mood. A bartender's personality can really make or break how much fun it is to be at a bar, especially if you're just there to chill. So glad Joey's personality and stellar customer service made this a lively atmosphere. He gave me a brief tour and went over some of the craft beers available. I tried 5 different beers and they were excellent! My favorite were the honey beers. They surely bring a unique craft brew experience. They offer life music and quality food at certain times. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return when I am back in town.

    This place is fun, relaxed and has a great staff! It's a hidden gem that deserves to be recognized.

    One of my employees and myself having a great time.

    Today my employee and I went here to grab a drink and talk about our growing small business. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Tomas today and had a fantastic time. We sat outside, sipped our west coast ipa, and listened to the sweet sound of live music. Will definitely be coming back for more meetings!

    Yeah!
    Vincent C.

    Came here because a co worker had her going away party here. I wasn't able to attend but I heard they had a good time. So I wanted to come see for myself and sure enough the place is chill with some damn good beer. It may not be the biggest or the best spot but the beer is good, the location has character and it's close to my house. Tomas who is the owner I think is very cool and welcoming. They have several games and a back patio but I'm not sure if it was open. They have more than 18 beers on tap which is more than enough. This is definitely a cool spot I will be a regular in no time. There aren't many breweries in the area so I'll be making my rounds but this one will be my main one. Great job Tomas!!!

    Ice Ice Baby (vanilla bean cream ale)
    Margarette B.

    Awesome venue and excellent beer. I am a very (read that as VERY) picky beer drinker. Tomas worked with me, and even pulled beers from the back to find one I liked. I love their Ice Ice Baby Cream Ale. It has such a creamy taste and you can really taste the Madagascar vanilla bean used to make the drink. Wonderful flavors and taste. I will be back.

    On two occasions I came here and had two different kinds of experiences. Both were Dam good times…read more. The first time was after roller skating nearby and I was one HUNGRY beaver! So my friend Nanci and I turned to Yelp for help. She had been to this location before and I frequent the Vista tavern and grill (mainly when Jimmy Paton is playing) with my family. Knowing that this one wasn't a restaurant we looked up on their calendar and excitedly saw that the Oishi sushi fusion pop up would be here. I've had them elsewhere several times and am a fan of them! AND we also saw that they have live music on Friday nights too! Oh yeah! This day the music was by Kimmi Bitter duo with Willis Farnsworth. I love the 60/70's vibe that they've got going on! Definitely a fun FriYay night out with our favorite of things ie Grub, drink AND what felt like a VIP live music show! I loved the open floor plan especially because after that fun workout prior I was able to cool down with the fresh air. Cuz I was one sweaty Betty, Ha! We noticed that they have BINGO on Thursdays and so the pre-planning of my 50th birthday spinning wheels in my head began! How perfect that my actual birthday fell on the same day as a bingo night. Spinning Meats Mediterranean pop up would be there. Rain or Shine. You see it's usually very hard to plan an actual birthday event for my birthday because it's so close to the hustle bustle of the Holidays. It also likes to be a rainy day. We lucked out here! I called and spoke to Ashley (forgive if I got the name wrong but that's what this old brain remembers). about making reservations and she informed me that it really is a free-for-all/first come basis as far as the table seating goes. But she did reserve one high communal table for me, RSVP for a half an hour prior to the first BINGO game. That worked out perfectly as my event was more casual and my friends would be trickling in and out during the evening. Several of my guests that attended my event are fellow YELPers too and we are always recommending our favorite places with one another. The entire venue felt like it was my own as we befriended strangers and shared other tables, luv and laughs all around & even shared my cake with them too. I was having surgery just days after this event so I only had one seltzer drink and it was good. I love that it didn't have fake dye coloring in it. My friends loved the place, their brews, and I loved their presence! Thank you BBB~O'side crew. You were amazing! Tho a bit bummed that no one out of my group won a bingo game but one guy won twice!?! How!?! Scratches head. We had a great time and truly am looking forward to my/our next experience here!

    We had a great experience at this Oceanside location and enjoyed the Thursday night bingo and food…read morefrom Spinning Meats. The staff was gracious in reserving a big table so we can our friends join us in celebrating my wife's birthday. Service has been stellar so far during our visits here. We're are sure to come back for bingo nights and will try some of the other events as well.

    I had a great time at their sip & see event. They were promoting their venue upstairs for private…read moreevents. It was cute! Everyone working there was so nice. The people who vended there were super sweet! They had a nice spread of food! The poke, vegan meatballs, macaroni salad, and beef skewers were my favorite. I had a sample of the lavy lemonade seltzer. It was pretty good and had a nice lavender color. I tasted the LIKE SUPER PROFOUND. It had a nice light taste. I ended up getting an old fashion because I could not make a decision, lol. Kimi Wakamoto did a great job making engravings for everyone. I got a luggage tag! It looked so nice! SALLYMFINEART did a great job with her handmade portraits! My portrait looked cute and she even added Gir in the portrait! The dessert table and flower arrangements looked so pretty, it looked like Easter! I did inquire about the prices for a private event and the menu looked pretty good. I am having a birthday coming up and I still haven't decided what to do so I'll keep this place in mind.

    I like to stop in here for a beer every now and then. I like the selection they have, the food here…read morecan be good at times but the last time I stopped in the food was just okay. The service could be better. The last stop in, we had their special, a bbq chicken pizza. It was very dry, the sauce seemed to be dried up bbq sauce. It didn't taste very good and it was cold. I do plan on coming back and giving them another chance, we also have club meetings here every now and then. So we will see what happens next time.
