    The bar
    Veronica G.

    Lovely, full bar with a moody, old school vibe! The prices were excellent, in my opinion. The drinks were well made. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. My friends and I really enjoyed having cocktails at Frankie's, and I will be back!

    Ethan went above and beyond. Fantastic service. Loved our experience. Also best espresso martini in California

    Cocktail bar that serves only drinks! Casual atmosphere where no one rushes you, and the service is not rushed. Come for a chill experience.

    Manhattan and redrum

    It was refreshing to visit a place that is just a cocktail bar. It has a cozy atmosphere and the bartenders were all very friendly. They have the classics and a few of their own specials. I went with the black Manhattan and it was amazing. My wife got the redrum and it was a fun refreshing drink. The bartender accidentally spilled a little of my drink too while serving it and was very apologetic. He even took 10% off the tab, which was very thoughtful.

    This place has a great vibe for an after dinner cocktail with friends in a cozy booth in downtown Oceanside. Friendly, casual service. An enclosed patio room in the front where you can sit a table & bring your dog if they are well behaved.

    This is a sweet spot. They have a great happy hour between 4-6. The bartenders are attentive and the place is a very low key, low light environment. They have booths as well as tables. Not really much of a food selection.

    This was mine and hubby's last stop on our date night. This was our favorite. Great drinks and atmosphere. Bar wasn't crowded at all and can easily have a conversation at the bar. There's also a small patio area out front. Staff was attentive and friendly. Amazing bar to end our night.

    My gf and I decided to come visit here since it had some good reviews. We got to catch up with a friend and a quaint little place. I was kind of bummed two of the drinks I wanted to try but I guess they taste so good that they sell out which is a good thing. All of the bartenders were all super nice and pretty efficient. Nice little date night spot or even hang out with some friends on the patio! I'd definitely come back forsure.

    I have to give a huge shoutout to Alexia and Asa!! they completely made my night! From the moment I sat down, both of them were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely fun to talk to. Alexia makes you feel right at home behind the bar, super personable, quick with a smile, and she remembered my drink after just one order. Asa was just as awesome, fast, creative with cocktails, and clearly knows his craft. The drinks were perfectly balanced and came out fast even though the bar was busy. You can tell both Alexia and Asa love what they do! they create such a great vibe and make the whole experience feel effortless. If you're coming here, definitely sit at the bar and hope you get Alexia and Asa, they're the dream team!

    Fun spot in Oceanside with a great vibe and lots of weekday specials. I had the miso chicken wings…read more.. tasty but light on sauce. They do charge for extra, which I get, but I wished for a little more to start. Their homemade ranch made up for it though! The happy hour pretzel ($10) was perfect for sharing, and my friend's grilled fish tacos were fresh and light. The coconut shrimp looked amazing, so I'll try that next time. Can't wait to come back for the $20 lobster roll weekends ..and once I'm not pregnant, to sample that awesome beer list!

    This place is awesome! Ryan was absolutely phenomenal and helped us find the NA beer options. Ryan…read moresaid usually they only have 4 but recently they've been carrying 6 options. We tried 4 today and absolutely loved them. If you're looking to go out with friends but don't drink alcohol, this place has got you covered with great NA options! The ambiance is so nice. It's very comfortable inside and currently they have cute Halloween window paintings! Ryan also did a great job suggesting the best options for us too! Beyond the great options here we also received such great service. Thank you so much, Ryan! If we lived in Oceanside this would definitely be our go to spot. Hopefully we can visit again soon!

I wouldn't call this place a great dinner spot, not because of the food but because of the atmosphere. Even though we enjoyed all our food, my husband was in a bit of hurry to get out of here because he was really uncomfortable with the seating. The seating is more like patio-style furniture, so the chairs are very low. Since he is on the taller side, his legs were all bunched up the whole time. We had made reservations, but we didn't know that booking "Standard" meant that we were going to be sitting in the hotel pool area... this was probably our biggest complaint. Even though the view was spectacular, it was interrupted by kids jumping in the pool and occasionally splashing us and also just running by us. Also because we were by the pool, our cocktails came in plastic glasses which also made us feel a little slighted, especially since the cocktails are pretty pricey. The service was just okay. Our server was nice and we didn't ever feel like we were being neglected even though we were over by the pool and not in the main area. I just feel there wasn't anything remarkable about the service. I think when you are expecting to pay higher prices for an experience, you want more personable servers. All this to say, we were really happy with all the food we had! We had the 1/2 dozen oysters (my only complaint is that they did not disclose where they were from on the menu so you don't really know what you are paying for and it is pricey), the sea bass ceviche (super yummy!), the lamb, and the prawn special. I did not shut up about how yummy the prawns were all night, even after we left! Anyway, I think I would come back for drinks and maybe a dish or two, but we definitely won't be coming back for date night dinner again.

    Super chill spot and nice to have tucked into downtown. Very nice atmosphere, good beer selection,…read morethey serve micheladas! Live music sometimes. Fire pits and good seating. No food, but outside food is allowed. Foliage is nice and adds to the ambiance. The wall of succulents is cool and goes well with the same vibe at the coffee joint next door. Kids and pets are welcome. Sometimes they have cool little events in the evenings. There's a tv to catch sports on. Stays decently cool even on warm days, the seating area catches the ocean air and breeze nicely. Always good tunes on the speakers. The rocks and wrought iron work also add to the originality here, not blended into the rest of downtown Oceanside. A really cool spot to visit!

    Never been in Stone before because I don't drink beer…read more Travis served me, he was great. Pleasant and a great smile. I wasn't aware that they sold specialty cocktails. A friend invited me so we met up. There's a descent size pl right in front of the establishment, and plenty of street parking. It wasn't busy considering it was raining on and off all day. I had a pineapple habenero margarita. It was good. Wish they would have put a pineapple as the garnish instead of a slice of lime. I thought it would be a little more spicy also with the habenero, but it was very mellow. They had a cool firepit table. Plenty of seating for it to be on the smaller side. They also have an area where you can purchase Stone merchandise. They have 2 bathrooms. They have a TV. It is a kid friendly environment.

When seated at the bar area, you can also chat with the amazing beertenders and ask for their recommendations if you're unsure what to try {I will always recommend a good Hazy or Double IPA}.
