    Great beer
    Bob H.

    Great service and nice beers! Great little find on our trip to Oceanside. No food but food truck was supposed to come later. Anyway provided great recommendations for food at other places.

    Fun place to visit. Solid beers all around. Open format with lots of tables. Great little outdoor patio. Plenty of parking. Barkeep was really friendly. Food was excellent. This place should be on your list to visit.

    Sunday afternoon around 2pm was pretty quiet here. Nice patio and plenty of space to hang out with friends. Sunny Vibes is a Mexican lager at 5.1% that was very light tasting. I would have like some lime but that's just a preference. Saized & Confused is a farmhouse saison at 7.2% was a very nice Belgian. There was food available but we didn't eat anything. Definitely will try The Lodge eatery that is right inside when you walk in. Overall pretty good tap list. Amy was serving beer and was very nice to us. We will be back again!

    This is a great spot in Oceanside. Easy parking, Tesla Supercharger nearby, great outdoor space for you and your pup. The beer is tasty and the staff is so welcoming and friendly. Food from The Lodge available. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

    Found this brewery tucked in Oceanside on our way to san diego and didnt disappoint. Good craft beer. Friendly staff. Nice beer break.

    Huge tasting room.  They also have outside seating.

    Big, airy, spacious taproom with seating inside and out. They share space with That Boy Good so come thirsty and hungry. You're a fool if you don't get some BBQ while you're here. I very much appreciated how they offer many different styles of beer. In other words, they have a couple of IPAs but not 20 of them. That's a really good thing. I ordered a 5 taster flight with two gose/sours, an IPA, a Belgian ale, and a porter. The Belgian ale was boozy and outstanding. The porter had a nice coffee flavor and the other beers were good. The music was a tad loud and a tad grungy but not too bothersome. They're dog and kid friendly and the barkeep was very attentive. Plenty of free parking in the lot. I would happily return. Good stuff!

    We really enjoyed our experience at Northern Pine. The Beers were SO good and some of the best we have had so far in the SD are. We were really impressed. The bartender was really friendly helping us get a flight of beers. The place was really clean and modern. The outside sitting area was also very nice. We would come back to this place, it was really great!

    Super rad brewery conveniently located in Oceanside! We love bringing our dog here for some weekend sun, fun, and beers! Can't wait to come back and check out some of the food menu. Great beer selection, super chill patio and interior.

    Really cool vibe. Attentive staff. Combined with TBG BBQ. Excellent beers. Ordered a flight, the Saison was my favorite. Really enjoyed their atmosphere and woodsy feel. Reminded me of being back in the mountains. Nice little getaway in Oside.

    Epic food, beers were delicious, and the prices are super fair. I'll definite be coming back for more fried chicken and another burger. can't wait to try the poutine too!

    Stopped by this cool micro brewery on a recent trip and the craft brews did not disappoint. Great quality over quantity here. Limited addition runs of small batch brews that you can not only taste but see the difference. Spent a few hours sitting at the bar with the assistant brewer as my tap tender and not only were his suggestions spot on it was obvious at least to me that his passion for brewing high quality handcrafted beer was a second nature for him. I appreciated not only his input but also his commitment to his craft. It was apparent to me that the attention to the details and the understanding of true crafted brewing is was a part of the driving force to this establishment. The small ever changing board of offerings overhead was an impressive range of profiles and abv contents that should and would please most consumers palettes. I tries everything from the Pilsner to the Stout on the board that day and each was a great representation of its specific genre of brew, each was delicious and of very fine quality. Glad to have found this cool brewery on my trip through and plan to visit them again whenever I am in the area. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the true micro brewery approach and knowledge of the brewer 00648

    3.5 for the brews. The place is huge and I love the fact that it shares a space with TBG. We initially got tasters and felt all were just okay. Some of the beers were flat/stale, needed more carbonation. Only one beer stood out to us and we got pints of it- get your gloves. They told us it was a new keg, so it was very fresh tasting and had good flavors. We'll definitely be back since TBG is here, a good place to grab food and some brews.

    Shared space with That Boy Good- no vegan friendly options

    They have wifi?

    Yes!

    Are non-alcoholic drinks served here? Possibly by That Boy Good? I heard there is party here following Pride by the Beach 2019...but I don't drink! I would go if Coke, Sprite, Pepsi, etc., are served! :-)

    TBG has a variety of soft drinks available.

I don't often love any kind of fried or battered shrimp but these were so good. I definitely want to come back!

Having previously been to the one up in Orange, we decided that this was the best place to go. We were seated right away on the rooftop deck with a pleasant view of the downtown area. Our server was very patient with us and once we were able to find an order that we both liked (we were both exhausted from the San Diego County fair) our food was delivered to us in under 10 minutes. Our meals were both very well done in terms of quality and presentation. The biggest issue that we had is that because there is so much corn on the menu and because we generally avoid corn whenever possible due to dietary restrictions it seemed to really minimize what we could get as even most salads had corn inside of it. The portions provided were perfect for the two of us and the bison burger in particular was delivered to my exact cooking specification. What's interesting is that this restaurant does not include any sides in terms of their menu offerings so what feels like a discount when you see a burger for $13 to $15 you actually make up for by having to spend 4 to 6 dollars on a side. Well, I understand that this may be easier for them with some of their customers. It is not a trend that I enjoy seeing as ultimately the prices are not as cheap as you would expect. They were a bit busier than expected on the holiday, but that's because so many other restaurants were closed so it looks like a large part of the crowd went to Oceanside as well just to go to Finney's. Overall, we enjoyed our experience, but the menu having limited options if anyone has a hard time with corn really puts a damper on it along with having to pay for the sides separately makes for a weird experience. Even with those in mind, I still give it four stars.

There was a drink nearby, but no one was sitting there, and nobody in the group ever mentioned that the seat was being saved. What made the situation worse was the way it was handled by the owner. Instead of approaching us professionally, she appeared to be intoxicated and immediately became confrontational. She told us that we "didn't know who we were messing with" and threatened to have us kicked out over what was clearly a simple misunderstanding. As a business owner, professionalism and customer service should come first. There was no reason for customers to be spoken to in such a disrespectful and intimidating manner. A calm conversation could have resolved the issue in seconds. As we were leaving, even some of the employees apologized to us for the owner's behavior and the way the situation was handled. It was clear that they recognized how inappropriate and unprofessional the interaction had been. It wasn't like it was that busy, there was enough seating area. The owner's behavior created an uncomfortable and hostile environment over something that should never have escalated in the first place. Being threatened and spoken down to by the person who owns the business is unacceptable. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this establishment to others.

We visit at least once a month with friends from the nearby climbing gym, and always with our 6-year-old in tow who LOVES this place thanks to all the games there are to play. My favorite go-to menu item is the crunch wrap with carne asada - it's large so my husband and I usually split it. Their salsa is bomb, too (especially the green). We've also had some of their burgers, tacos, and our daughter always gets a personal pizza. The personal pizza scenario is the only thing I have beef with here - you get a 7" plain cheese pizza for $12, and you can add a max of 3 toppings which cost extra, so in the end our kid's food is more expensive than ours. Hey Fat Joe's - pleeeease considering adding a small pizza to the kid's menu and price it closer to the other $7 and $8 items!! The interior walls of Fat Joe's are decorated with art and murals of all the most important and beloved features of our city. The bartenders are friendly and efficient - drinks are poured/mixed and handed off quickly, and food arrives at your table shortly after. Bathrooms are always well-stocked and clean. Parking is pretty much limited to street parking and while it is limited, we've never had an issue finding a spot nearby. Finding solid family-friendly spots can be in short supply, but Fat Joe's hits all my criteria and remains one of our favorite spots to eat and spend time together.
