    Barrel aged churro con chocolate
    Fernando G.

    We had a great experience at this Oceanside location and enjoyed the Thursday night bingo and food from 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.

    The beers were delicious! This spot is pretty cool - no frills, but a gigantic back area for production, food truck, some seating indoors and out, and bomb beers. We each got a flight and a pint to follow. I liked almost everything I tried and I would absolutely go back. Perfect for a chill Friday evening.

    On two occasions I came here and had two different kinds of experiences. Both were Dam good times . 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!

    Our last visit here as we are moving out of state. They had Mr cerviche a food truck over last night. Smaller crowd. Food was good there. Bartenders were great as usual. Their were heaters around. And Dog friendly as usual. They also had live music last night. A very nice gentle singer who sang and played oldies - the kind of music we liked. Homeward bound we are... Great night! Sorry we are leaving. But good job and wish u guys all the best and thanks for last night!

    Band playing for the crowd.

    Stopped in for some Imperial Stout and my favorite Thumbs Up Bacon and BBQ. It was a busy Saturday night, but always a great time. Food was excellent, Thumbs Up was excellent as usual. Try the Rule of two - 5 yr imperial Stout and the Viva La Beaver - they are amazing! The place was rocking with the band playing, Dodgers on the Screens and the large crowd.

    Delicious! I was expecting a bit more heat, but it's still awesome!!! Also tried one of their sister company, Hop Habit - Desk Pop West Coast IPA. Oh so good!

    Belching Beaver's Peanut Butter Milk Stout.
    Alden C.

    I have had Belching Beaver on more than one occasion but my list guided me to delve into their beer once more. I got a beer that I have had before which is something I don't often do when making a post about a brewery with more than location that is on my list. But I enjoy the Peanut Butter Milk Stout so much that I had to do a repeat. It was just too irresistible. The flavor highlights to keep your taste buds peeled for are milk, sweet and coffee. The texture of the beer is smooth and creamy and that's very pleasant to experience when having this very fine stout.

    Phantom Bride IPA
    Jon T.

    In San Diego Area for the week for a work meeting. Following the meeting i looked up local breweries, came across Belching Beaver & saw that i was only about 10 minutes away. Decided to make my way there. Excellent choice. The Phantom Bride IPA has always been one of my favorite beers of all times. I've always had to buy it canned so it was nice to be able to have it on draft. I was impressed with how good the Red Ale was as well. I was disappointed that there wasn't a food menu , but then i saw there was a food truck right outside. Decided to try the Adobada (Marinated Pork) burrito and it definitely hit the spot. Overall 10/10. From the good beer, good food, and good service.

    Inside.  Spacious and attractive.
    Craig W.

    Large, spacious location. Nice patio and plenty of seating inside, too (including couches). They even have a stage and a band was playing when we arrived. The beers, as always, are high quality. I don't always love all of them but if you get a flight, there are plenty to choose from. If you're into hard seltzers, the Beav is producing a lot of them now. I'm not a fan of seltzers but someone must be drinking them. Total different vibe here from the Pub 980 location. The crowd here is older and, surprise, mellower. One is not better than the other. They're just different. They often (always?) have rotating food vendors on site. Great beers, great use of space.

    Bingo night!
    Amy R.

    Went there for bingo night. It was fun! We tried 3 kinds of beer and enjoyed them all. One tasted like a blueberry muffin, one like PB&J, and one was just a normal light beer. They have rotating food trucks but we didn't try the food. Will definitely check it out again someday.

    My flight of stouts. Best flight ever!!

    I stopped by here for lunch while walking around Oceanside Beach, and I'm so glad I did! The food…read morewas absolutely delicious. For the price, the tacos were huge and incredibly filling. These days, it's hard to find tacos loaded with that much meat and fresh guacamole, especially on freshly made tortillas. It was such a great value. My favorites were the carne asada taco and the birria taco--both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. If I'm ever back in Oceanside, this will definitely be one of my first stops!

    This is my second time visiting so now I must talk about their vegetarian tacos. I've tried them…read moreand have something to say. 1. They are better with beans and cheese because it adds more flavor. Plus, choose your favorite salsa, there's added flavor. 2. The veggies are too chunky for tacos. Imagine biting into a taco and it's a bite of a whole zucchini with corn tortilla. Then it's an onion and corn tortilla, with maybe some guac and added salsa. Then it's a chunk of yellow squash. In tacos, veggies need to be diced smaller so the various veggies and ingredients fit in the mouth. Today, it wasn't cut properly. 3. Ordering a side of beans means refried beans and cheese. I thought I would use these beans to add to the tacos, which I still did, but it's not whole beans like it is when you order Coast Style (beans and cheese). The beans are good though. 4. The corn tortillas and salsas are the best part. Here's my biggest opinion - 5. Veggie tacos should already come with beans! Why are vegetarians paying the same price for a carne asada taco and we still have to request beans (and cheese) to be charged $1.50? Kinda crazy. 6. Don't bother with the veggie mulita. The veggies just fall out because they're so juicy so it's hard to eat and you end up eating it like a taco anyway (with no guac). Their Baja lager is a great beer though. I'd pick up a 6-pack of their Mexican lager for sure.

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!

The location is great and of course, all the different areas to drink beer in here whether it be inside, the outside balcony or garden area. they're all very nice. We ordered a pizza and some beers which hit the spot. They don't give you any coasters for any of your drinks and there's no air-conditioning so when it's hot out, your beers are definitely sweating all over the counter and then when you pick them up they're dripping all over you. I asked for coasters and they don't have any so just bring your own. The staff is super friendly and our beertender's Aric and Nikki were so awesome. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    We came here Labor Day weekend to celebrate my brother's birthday…read more My dad had called ahead to reserve a table since it was 6 adults and 2 toddlers. We were seated right away. We started with some appetizers - my favorite was the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. Everything was perfectly roasted and there was a great kick with the habanero jam feta. The fly basket was pretty good, but keep in mind that the portion size is small - 3 of each of the hush puppies, fried shrimp, and fried green tomatoes. My husband ordered one of the specials which was a short rib pot pie - one of our favorite dishes of the night. The short rib was so tender and the dish was rich but in the perfect way. I ordered the tri tip sando. It was loaded up with meat and grilled peppers and onions. I upgraded my fries to truffle fries and those were really flavorful! My mom ordered the cioppino. She was a little disappointed by how many mussels there were in the dish - she had been hoping for more fish and shrimp. She said the flavor was good though. For dessert, we did opt to try the beignets. Honestly I could have done without them. They weren't as light and fluffy as they could've been. Overall, it was a good experience with great accommodations for our toddlers and great service.
