I've been here now a hand-full of times, mostly for work party celebrations, but every time has been consistently great! The menu is mostly pizza and some appetizers, but always, always very tasty! IPA beer choice is plentiful and service is top-notch-the vibe is so chill! It can get be packed towards the weekend, especially around happy hour, but there's plenty of room to stand if you can't find a seat right away! Just a side note-thanks to the staff for accommodating by daughter's college grad celebration-we had such a good time! read more

This space is super cool serving phenomenal beer. It's giant with so many different areas to sit. The bartender provided good recommendations on beer by letting me know what was freshly tapped and about recent collabs with other breweries. I only had the beer, so I can't say anything about food other than they do have food available. The beer alone is a reason to visit. I had two different IPAs. One Triple IPA brewed in collaboration with North Park and Brujos. Then I also had a Cold IPA brewed from a recipe provided by a Japanese brewery. Both were very unique options. Beer to-go is only available in four packs. You can't buy singles nor mix and match. read more

I like to stop in here for a beer every now and then. I like the selection they have, the food here can 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. read more

Great place, amazing seating areas to choose from. You can sit inside, outside in the middle or upstairs on the balcony. You been see the water from the balcony. They don't have any stouts, food is rather pricey, kids welcome. Good selection of beers but no stouts. Will come again to try more beers. Parking can be difficult as it is downtown Oceanside. read more

My bf is into craft beer and wanted to check out Green Cheek. We came around lunchtime and parked in the lot. The space is quite big with indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered chicken wings (lemon pepper), Baja fish tacos, Cobb salad, and tots to share. Everything was solid. I guess something I missed out on was the lavender lemonade- next time. Overall, it's a nice place to hang out. read more

I had a great time at their sip & see event. They were promoting their venue upstairs for private events. 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. read more

I really like Green Cheek, even though I've never had any of their brews! Let me explain.... They focus on IPA's and hazies....not my style at all, but I'll still happily go. Why? For starters, there's plenty of room here. Want sun? Shade? There's something for everyone. It's dog friendly and there's a parking lot. Yes, a dedicated parking lot for their business. There's a kitchen on site and the food always looks good. One day, I'll try a few things off their menu. Staff is on top of things! Yesterday, two kids came in trying to sell chocolate bars for a school fundraiser. Before we knew it, management ushered them out. They have a strict 'no soliciting' policy. My fiancé is always happy here! 5 stars! read more

Loved the poke dish! They give you so much more poke than I expected! Delicious and a little kick to boot! Loved the Paloma seltzer on this beautiful and warm day! Great family atmosphere I enjoyed the buzz of people around me as I chilled at the outdoor bar! read more

This is one of our Oceanside go-to spots. We like how it has indoor and outdoor seating, including an additional rooftop area. We love how pup friendly it is as well, and that they have their own parking lot. All that goes a long way to having a stress free casual dining experience. It is seat yourself, and semi-self service meaning you order your food and drinks from the bar. If you order food, they will give you a little buzzer and you come up and retrieve whatever you ordered. There are no servers or food runners. Some of our favorites are the pizza, the smashburger, the Cobb salad and the wings. You also can't go wrong with the tots, regular or cheeky. On top of having beer, because it is a brewery, they also have seltzer, wine and a full bar. Really great for a group who wants a little of everything I would say we come here a couple times a month. read more

This place is great, awesome beer and food. They have a large selection of beer to choose from . For food we tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and blackened chicken sandwich that were cooked perfectly. They come with a side of fries, tots, or chips and salsa. Prices were decent. Service was good, the ambiance was chill, the inside was pretty spacious. It's definitely a great place to visit. read more

We are huge fans of the Costa Mesa location so we absolutely had to check out this one. The Oceanside location is huge in comparison. Two stores, 3 bars, and an area of private events, this is a Green Cheek lover's paradise lol. Plenty of merch for sale as well. They also offer flatbread and other food items that aren't offered at the CM location. We really enjoyed the fish tacos and ahi poke chips. Also went home with a few 4 packs and a shirt. Definitely recommend this location! read more

5 stars for the beer For all you soccer/lacrosse tournaments at the SoCal Sports Complex, this place is suitable for large groups, and it's close to the fields. BEER: Green Cheek beer is one of my #1 favorite beers, especially for their Hoppy Pilsners, which many breweries don't brew. If you're looking for something light but still packed with flavor, then you need to try Green Cheek. They also offer wine and a small selection of mixed cocktails. VIBE: This location was fantastic when it first opened. It was lively and packed with people. All three downstairs bars were open, and it was a cool place to hang out. I recently went there to find out that the back bar is closed indefinitely; bummer. The vibe felt different, too, but not in a bad way - just more laid-back than before. We may have gone at a bad time. (2 PM)? FOOD: Food is whatever, typical bar food, nothing to brag about. Honestly, I don't go there for the food, just the beer. There are a few items for vegetarians on the menu. SEATING: There is ample seating, and the venue is ideal for large groups. PARKING: Parking is on the streets around the area. So it can be hard to find parking. read more

What an atmosphere! There are 4 different bars to choose from, all carrying the same taps, but some have different taps. The main bar has a legit selection, and the food is your typical pub grub that has a fajita effect every time someone walks by with it. The service is friendly and laid back. It has that California vibe while hitting everyone's preference. Non alcoholic options available, as well as seltzers etc.. read more

Came here to try some beers on a Friday. Parking can be tricky but they do have a small lot as well as street parking but when it's busy you may have to walk a bit. This space is HUGE and can easily accommodate a large group of people with both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered beer flights to try their IPAs and had the bartender pick a few. I actually really enjoyed the lavender lemonade and ended up taking a pack home to go. I got a side of fries & salad to eat while having beers. The fries were so delicious and the salad was great too! The staff were super friendly here. Nikki was an AMAZING bartender. She was so patient in helping me find a beer I liked and very personable interacting with so many people while staying on top of orders and refills. I'll definitely be back to check out more food and beers here! read more

Green cheek is a great place for a casual meal. I have been a handful of times and it's always has the a nice environment. Perfect spot for a meal if you don't care for getting seated and waiting to be served. The eating space is large with plenty of seating and multiple bars, and I love the view from the rooftop especially on a clear and sunny day. I like that they have vegan food options (even though I'm not vegan) and a large list of drinks that includes hard seltzers and not just beer for those who want something else! The Baja fish burrito I had last night was delicious and I really enjoyed the salsa it came with. The lavender lemonade hard seltzers is also a perfect level of sweetness and is easy to drink. Pro tip: they have a parking lot in the back behind Vital Climbing gym! read more

Green Cheek Beer Co. is a brewery and restaurant located next to the Tremont Collective. They have other locations, and it seems they currently do not brew the beers there even though all the tanks/equipment still can be seen through the windows. This is a huge place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There's 2 separate restrooms on opposite sides of the outdoor area. You can order from the inside or the outside bar. I highly recommend the chicken wings. It's $18. It comes with 12 large pieces, ranch and blue cheese dressing on the side, some carrots and celery. I tried the buffalo wings and was thoroughly satisfied. The extra plates, utensils, napkins and to go boxes are self serve. The service here is top notch. Folks there are friendly and hard working. I didn't even know the plates were self serve until one of the staff members brought it over to me and said I can grab more myself! It felt like a very welcoming environment, where the staff genuinely cared about the customers' experience. Overall, I'd love to come back for the chicken wings and the ambiance. read more

The "signature" white pizza was spotted with dollops of raw minced garlic out of a jar. The one server never asked us how our food was or if we needed anything, just grabbed our empty pint glasses without looking at us and moved on without missing a skip in her step. After mentioning this to the cashier and recommending that the management do some kind of quality control to ensure their "signature" pizza was made properly, the cashier suggested that I was trying to get a discount. I paid for the pizza, drinks and left a sizable tip for their waste of my time. Great location, enormous potential, but there are so many other locations in Oceanside that can fill your belly with food and service that you will not regret overpaying for. read more

The bartenders are friendly and provided great service. There is plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor section is great at night when the lights are on. They also have great food, I highly recommend the pretzel. read more

I love this brewery! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their beers! I live in San Diego and often make the drive to Oceanside for this beer! Their Paloma seltzer is my partner's favorite and we buy cases at a time. Their pizza is delicious. You can judge a pizza based on their basic cheese and it is making my mouth water as I type this! Their ranch is absolutely delicious too! I love a place that has options or subs for vegetarians and they check that box too. If you love beer and good food, definitely make this a stop on your list. read more

Got to check out this place with one of my colleagues. I have been here when it was Bagbys. I like that they have a private parking lot in the back for customers. They have a descent selection of beer and a few non-alcoholic items. My daughter enjoyed martinellis apple juice. We also enjoyed some French fries. I noticed they had 2 vegan items on the menu, one being a burger. I didn't get to try it this time around as we had just eaten but maybe next time. I liked that Bagby's had a lot more vegan items including some for kids. Oh well! You order and pay at the register and sit down until your buzzer goes off to pick up your food. Not much has changed in terms of seating. And it still seems to be popular for people with large groups. I would come back to have a drink and try the vegan items. It seems like a good place to hang out with friends. read more

One of my favorite breweries to go to in North County! The brewery here is pretty big and spacious with some indoor seating and lot of outdoor seating. They do some events (like Trivia Night, etc.) so it can get sometimes slightly crowded during the night but it's never super packed, which is nice so you have a great time chilling herem They definitely got some good beer drinks here including their seltzers and other drinks. They also got some cocktails and wine selections as well so there are lots of options to choose from. They also got some real good food that are really fresh (like nice and hot straight from the oven) so it's nice to come here to have it with some drinks. They've also got a lot of cans that you can purchase to take with you home along with merch! The people here are also very friendly and patient so it makes even more worth to visit here! Definitely check out this place if you're in the area and want to have a great time with good drinks and food! read more

Considering Green Cheek's Oceanside outpost has become 1 of my fave craft beer spots in all of SD County, I'd say a glowing review is long overdue. While Green Cheek's origins are in OC, they've proven to be the best possible successor to take over this craft beer institution that was once Bagby Beer Company. The venue itself is as good as it gets for around here. Multiple bars with multiple spacious indoor & outdoor service areas ensure there's a place to suit anyone's taste. Speaking of taste, there's a full kitchen. & while I haven't yet partaken, what I've seen come out of that kitchen looks delectable. The whole place is dog friendly. Oh, & they have their own parking lot. Yeah, for real. But, truly, the primary reason for coming to a brewery is the beer. For that, Green Cheek is top tier. Their focus here is more toward lagers, IPA's, & hazies. Their execution of these styles is consistently exceptional. Everything on tap I've ever tried has been great. Service has been top of things & friendly. If & when you're coastal NCSD in the mood for a beer, this is the best option read more

This place always has a good vibe. The service is always excellent. The beertenders are always kind and friendly. They are very knowledgeable about the beer they serve. The Summer G & T is great. It actually tastes like gin, but it's a seltzer. So it was weird when I took a sip and thought, "Wow, it does taste like gin." The Lavy Lemonade is always so refreshing. I also love the way it looks. It's actually a lavender color. I also tried It Just Works. It was a good IPA. It is so cold and crisp. People need to come and check this brewery out. 10/10!!! read more

I came out with a group of girls for a bday brewery crawl and this was our first stop. Firstly, this is a huge brewery, tons of seating and several bar tops. Our group got a nice sunny table on the roof which was perfect. The Guava in Berlin was definitely my jam. I wish I had gotten the beer tenders name because he was great. We enjoyed a couple drinks and moved on to the next spot but thanks for a great time Green Cheek. read more

Had a craving for a burger so I got the double smash burger and accompanied it with the Lavy Lemonade seltzer and tater tots. There are different beer options for the varying pallets that come through here. Everything was very good and to our liking. The server with the cheeky padre inspired shirt was very thoughtful in helping us by thoroughly explaining the menu and the options. I love the open floor plan here. This time we sat facing the 101 as the breeze and fresh air was a bonus. We giggled at ourselves when figuring out how to lower our stools/seats so we could be at the perfect table top height. Looking forward to our next visit. Maybe to join in on a trivia night sometime. read more

I've been a fan of Green Cheek since 2018, way before they ever set foot in Oceanside, but I digress. This location specifically, is my favorite brewery in all of San Diego county, hands down. The location, sheer space, vibes, customer service, and its proximity to the beach. Can't go wrong with Green Cheek Oceanside. I may be a bit biased since I'm a big fan of NEIPAs aka Hazy IPA'S, so if that's your thing, I'd definitely check this brewery out. They also have a nice array of seltzers if you're into that sort of thing. If you're hungry or get the beer munchies while you're here, they have a pretty small but mighty menu. I can personally vouch for the pizza & their battered fries, both outstanding. read more

I was so excited to see Green Cheek had a location about 20 minutes from where I was staying last week, and had to check it out. There is a small parking lot next to the brewery as well as street parking around where the brewery is . I had no trouble snagging a spot on a Friday afternoon. Surprisingly this location is larger than it appears and there is plenty of seating inside outside near windows, etc. As well as plenty of bar seating. I ordered at the bar and then found a seat by the open window area looking out on the street. I ordered four different taster sizes for a flight and the tater tots (not the loaded ones), with a side of cheese sauce for dipping them in. I'm a huge IPA fan and all of the beers that I ordered were delicious . The tater tots were perfectly crispy and VERY generously sized. They also have takeout boxes next to the bar so if you don't finish your food, you can easily bring it home which is what I did. They also have four packs available in the fridge to go but fairly limited selections compared to the menu of beers they have on tap. I did pick up a four pack to go of a very tasty IPA. Looking forward to visiting again when I'm in the area and checking out more of the menu! read more

The street parking here can be hit or miss, but the restaurant itself is a great place to meet with friends. It's an order-at-the-counter and open seating kind of place with a lot of varied (mostly outdoor) seating options. Dog friendly! Lots of great beer options and decent food- although the portion sizes are so-so. Food, including salad, is just served directly on metal trays. It was quite busy when we went on a Wednesday evening, so it seems they're doing decently well. Their computer system went down for a bit, which caused a front counter backup and (possibly) a food delay. Although from other reviews, I think the food might just take a while to come out. read more

My group and I stopped by Green Cheek after a golf tournament, hoping it would be a great spot to relax together after the holidays. Unfortunately, the experience was the complete opposite of what we expected. From the moment we went to order food and drinks, one of the staff members (shaved sides haircut, working the counter) was extremely rude and unprofessional. She made us feel as though we were an inconvenience for simply being there. We came in as a large group and instead of being welcomed, we felt judged, rushed, and spoken to with clear frustration. To make matters worse, the food we did order was disappointing, overly salty, and they were out of pizza entirely. Because we still wanted to enjoy time together, we decided to order pizza for delivery instead. The same employee then proceeded to raise her voice at us, saying it was a "health code violation." If this had been communicated in a calm or polite way, we would have completely understood, but the way it was handled left everyone feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. We genuinely wanted this to be our new go to spot, especially for big post tournament gatherings, but after how we were treated, we will not be returning. Hospitality is everything, especially in a place that is meant to foster community, and unfortunately that was completely missing here. read more

I'll be straight: the beers at Green Cheek Beer Co. are legitimately outstanding--fresh, hoppy, well-balanced, and some of the best craft pours I've had in San Diego. The food menu surprised me too; everything we tried was flavorful, well-executed, and paired perfectly with the brews. On the product side alone, this spot deserves high praise and repeat visits. Unfortunately, none of that matters when the staff's customer service is this poor. The attitude from the team member whom had a "1934" tattoo in his neck was outright rude, dismissive, and unprofessional in ways that killed any enjoyment. Being short, snarky, or treating customers like an inconvenience isn't the vibe you want at a place built around community and good times. It felt like he couldn't be bothered, and that kind of energy drags everything down--no matter how great the beer and food are. The drinks and eats get 5 stars easy, but the service experience was so bad it makes the whole visit feel like a waste. I'd love to come back for the product, but until the staff steps up and treats people with basic respect, I can't recommend it. Zero stars for the overall experience because hospitality matters just as much as the beer and food. . Disappointed, because this could be a top spot with better people behind the bar. read more

So glad Pally opened a location in SD county where we live. We go here often for one of the top breweries in SoCal and they keep cranking out new ones frequently and the 4 packs make a care package to takeaway and share with friends and neighbors. I love the large location here with multiple bars and huge open space in the back and the rooftop with good breeze and ocean peak. We've been here for trivia nights which is a great excuse to visit again. They have a parking lot in the back or you can find street parking (beware PCH parking is a little sketch as I've been people's mirrors get knocked off by traffic). Oh don't sleep on the smash burgers... they are super good and hit the spot after a bike ride to this location to enjoy a beer. I'll be back to drink while smiling read more
