1000% Highly Recommend! A true Oceanside gem with top-tier service and quality. We had a party of 17 on Saturday to celebrate my wife's birthday, and Jess took amazing care of us! The service was seamless, the energy was upbeat, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Everyone loved their food and drinks zero complaints from a large group, which says a lot! I've dined and drank here before, and even purchased their products to enjoy at home. I truly love this brand and how they show up for the local community. Their consistency, quality, and hospitality are unmatched. Highly recommend a visit support local and treat yourself! read more

Wanted to try a new place for brunch and I'm so glad we came across this place. The staff was warm & welcoming and the food & drinks were great. Kids are welcome and they have a dog friendly patio. The burger was very juicy and the truffle fries were the best I've had in a long time. It's pretty large so definitely shareable. The group also really enjoyed the tacos, but note the salsa it comes with is pretty bland. Happy Hour: Tues - Fri 3-5pm / Sun 10-3pm Brunch Happy Hour: Sun 10am-3pm *They do have bottomless mimosas until 1pm. read more

We were spending Valentine's weekend in Oceanside and were looking for a nice spot that has good food and drinks. We were greeted by the owner or the manager who seated us immediately. We tried pineapple and guava margaritas for the first time which was amazing and not too sweet. We ordered buffalo cauliflower that was a bit spicy and came with ranch dressing. The presentation was nice too. My husband had the Cali smash burger and l had the sweet heat chicken sandwich. I couldn't finish the entire sandwich. I had the rest for lunch the next day. Our server Megan was very courteous, very friendly and great suggestions. She checked on us several times to make sure we are not missing anything. Also, other staff members checked on us too. The place looks like a log cabin with a bar in the corner. There was nice music playing in the background, not too noisy. They also have an outdoor seating. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so can go again. read more

What a great place. The menu has great items including gluten free yummies. The service was great. Valerie and Alicia were amazing. It's a nice big open distillery for big groups. First I checked this place out I came with my dog. This time was there with my boyfriend's family. The drinks were so good. My favorite was the toasted marshmallow old fashion. read more

We weren't thinking of coming here. We were headed to a different restaurant. We were drawn in by the relaxed vibe. The cool chill ambience and inviting atmosphere. There are a lot of different s3sts available. Regular tables, by rhe bar and high table tops. And also an outdoor area. They also have a private parking lot. But since we weren't intending to come here initially, we parked along the side of the road. We were tended to by a very nice bartender. She knew what she was talking about. We asked her for recommendations and she made the best recommendations possible. I love that the food is fusion style. My husband got a brisket platter and it was delicious!!! It was tender and juicy and moist. I gotta say this is the most my husband has eaten in a while. He loved it. He actually finished all the brisket except for the fat on the brisket. There were sides of fries and garlic bread and pickles with his platter. I ordered the ahi poke nachos. It was delicious. The ahi poke was delicious and fresh paired with little bits of cucumber and little mango bits and sea weed, it was to die for. The wanton nachos were super light and crispy. I'm unashamed to say that I finished it all. I ordered two drinks one- sand dollar and the second was a drink I saw her preparing for someone else. It had blue pea flower syrup and lavender and I was in LOVE!!! I had to have it. It did not disappoint. It was super light refreshing and a balm for sore eyes. We also got a free dessert courtesy of the bartender. Orange zest creme brulee. It was wonderful. The crispy burnt sugar on top of the creme brulee was delicious. The creme brulee beneath the burnt sugar topping was a nice tasting contrast. It could be a tad smoother if they had sieved it before hand. But it's a good taste. We love it. We will be back. My hubby and I love this place. read more

We were headed for another spot but passed this on our walk and decided to stop in and have lunch. Boy am I glad we did. We sat at the bar and was taken care of by an awesome bartender. Wish I had asked her name. I had the brisket, which was delicious. With a house brewed ale beer. Perfect. The wife had the poke nachos which she loved. The restaurant was comfortable and had a nice cross breeze. read more

Came as part of girls day brewery/pub crawl for a bday and had a great time. It's so open and airy inside with lots of seating. We sat at the bar since we were just passing through. Most of the girls enjoyed an espresso martini while I had a basil berry and dang it, that was so good! We shared several food items the crispy Brussels, the pretzel bites and the ahi poke and thoroughly enjoyed it all. The bartender was super friendly and added to our good time. I'd love to come back another day and spend more time here read more

Love the ambiance. Plenty of seating, both inside and outside. They also have a life-size connect four outside which is pretty awesome! The service was AMAZING. Our server, in particular, was on point! Her name is Ashley! She had great recommendations for drinks and food! The only thing that I was a little disappointed about was on the distillery fries, I wish the cheese was melted more. Other than that, everything else was great! The ketchup is amazing! you can taste the freshness! read more

The pretzel was dry/bready, a little hard, sausage was good/spicy. Fish and chips were good but despite the price the fish was portioned similar to a kids meal. Waitress was nice. Wings were good. Perhaps the dinner menu is better, at lunch there is no option for macaroni, brisket, really the stuff you see on the photos. read more

Came here for my birthday and we saw it was a new trendy place in Oceanside. It's very big here with plenty of parking, outdoor and indoor seating. We came on a Friday night and was pretty busy but we didnt have to wait to be seated. The hostess was nice along with our waitress. My only and one complaint was the seating... We really should of chosen a normal table.. But we instead sat on a couch type seating and it was just awkward with the table kind of low so you basically had to haunch over to eat. I did like the games they provide on the table while you wait for your food and drinks. We may not return just because the food didn't leave me as lasting impression to come back. But, i encourage you to try it once and see for yourself. read more

They have amazing cocktails here. Also good mocktail selection. The staff is always kind and accommodating. The vibe is cute.

My husband and I went here off of one recommendation on TikTok, as we were coming to San Diego for our honeymoon and we were searching for good places to go to. We were intrigued by the fact that Pacific Coast makes their own spirits, so we knew we wanted to try it out. When we went, it was definitely a slow time for them but the overall vibe and atmosphere was great. It's a cute place to hang out and there was outdoor seating with games as well. The service was also great. Our server was very attentive and provided us with some great recommendations! I ordered the Yuzu Ahi Poke Plate and it was delicious. It felt like there was a generous amount of ahi and the toppings + sauce were perfect. My husband ordered the sweet heat chicken sandwich and thought the flavor was great and unique. He usually opts for a super spicy sandwich but said that he thought the sweetness added that unique twist. The drinks were both amazing!! We don't remember the names of them, but they were both great and we would have them again. We would have purchased a couple of their bottles of vodka or gin but we were flying back home. If we lived locally, we would definitely be purchasing bottles and returning to their restaurant. We highly recommend! read more

Came In first time. First impression, staff outside watching the air show.. no one to attend us had to sit ourselves just waiting to be given menus while staff is fooling around during work. There definitely needs to be adult supervision with staff, I think I saw an adult later towards the meal, but he wasn't supervising the young staff. My food was good but my partner's not so much. Not a welcoming environment at all! You can tell how dismissive staff is! Some reviews talk about it, so I see there's been no improvement. read more

We were on our way to San Diego and we stopped here for lunch. Weather was amazing and we decided to eat on their outside patio. Menu looked good and they have different varieties to choose from. We tried: Cheddar Biscuit & Honey Butter: Biscuit was really made to its perfection and the honey butter on it made it taste so good. Worth trying if you like biscuit! Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos: Fish was prepped very well. Pico and tequila creama was absolutely delicious and it paired really well with fish. Worth trying this! Duck Burger: This dish was new on their menu and I love duck! Burger Patty was cooked to its core! Brie and fig aioli made a great combination with brioche bread. Full of flavor and it hit the spot! Fries which came with it were well done and had great crunch to it. A thumbs up to this dish! Service was quick - we sat at the table right away without any reservations and servers were attentive. Would definitely come back to try their drinks! read more

Love love love the food and drinks here. They play great music. Wonderful outdoor dining. They make their own whiskey which is amazing. The staff is chill, this last girls night out we were vibing with Valerie who I would describe as a mixologist not a bartender due to the way she was making drinks... fancy, fun and beyond delicious. While at a distillery that makes their own Whiskey we're going to drink whiskey. The burgers are good, appetizers all are good and pair nicely with the whiskey. Highly recommend you go check it out for yourself and enjoy. They also have beer and other drinks, soda etc. read more

Pacific Coast Spirits - Oside vibes - New American Near Me - Oceanside, California

We ordered lunch for takeout here this past weekend and were really looking forward to some awesome seafood by the ocean. We ordered a lot! But there were issues. The baja fish tacos were tough and a bit dry but the fixins on them made them quite tasty despite them being over cooked and not flaky/moist. The pork belly my mom ordered turned out to be a Mac and cheese pork belly (she ordered sliced pork belly) but they didn't have the type in stock for the sliced version. When we arrived she was bummed out. But they took it off our bill which was nice, and she said the bits of pork belly were (her words: succulent) tasty. Crab cakes were DARK fried. They weren't golden brown fried, they were definitely over done. The cakes were ok, didn't look or taste like lump crab. Still again like the tacos, the sauce and stuff made them tasty but it wasn't chunky moist lump crab. We are from the east coast (Maryland/Virginia) and we know crab. These were kinda disappointing. My dad loved his seared ahi tuna Caesar salad. The tuna was perfectly seared, not a bit over done. The seared portion was literally like 1 mm of searing which was great. It looked very fresh and moist (sorry if this word triggers readers haha). My husband got the Cali smash burger that had bacon. He said it was really good. The truffle fries were beer battered and nice and crispy. Ambiance is amazing. Love the open spaces and decor. Whiskey or gin tastings are $19 and you get approx 3 full pours in total according to the guy who worked there. Lots of heat lamps, live music on weekends. Happy hour specials photographed. Would return and remind them to not over fry our items, bc the place has the perfect vibe just the food needs to be prepared better. read more

Full service, sitdown restaurant with private parking field. There is also free street parking. Casual atmosphere. Dog and kid friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Live music on a Saturday night when we went. Fast and friendly service. Reasonably priced given todays environment. A specialty cocktail and an entree will prob run you mid to high $30s including tax and tip for most options. I tried two of their whiskey drinks, pork belly mac, and their Baja fish tacos, which come with 3. I wanted flour tortillas, but they only had corn. Decently filling for the price. Everything was great! read more

Distillery with modern character. This distillery and restaurant and conveniently located on highway 101. You won't miss it. There are a few parking spaces right by the entrance. We got lucky and and parked right in front of the restaurant. This location offers good number of seating areas both inside and outside. The decor is nice and modern and makes you feel comfortable. Food and drinks here are good. For starters we ordered Red Corn Fried Cauliflower Tacos with Smash Avocado, Red Corn, Corn Relish, Cabbage, Vegan Fresno Aioli and Cilantro. The street style tacos were good and flavoursome. Fried cauliflower was tasty. We decided to try their burger and sandwich. Double smash burger and O'side hot chicken sandwich were well executed. Meats were tender and well seasoned. All ingredients were fresh and tasty. The staff here is very nice. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Five stars! P.S. Pacific Coast hosts speakeasy at the Carlsbad Strawberry field corn maze (October weekends only). Go check it out. It was fun! read more

Service was good.. the food however, was very disappointing. I feel this place lacks consistency in the kitchen. We tried this place when it was PCS. This was our second time trying it since the name changed. The steak on the wedge was over cooked, dry and tiny portion (protein). I asked for medium rare and was told that's how it's prepared, the three wedges we ordered came out all well done. Steak sandwich also over done. My friend didn't like the pasta, not enough sauce. Cocktails were too sweet, not balanced. There were quite a few of us, so we were sat at the large party table. The chairs are too short for the huge thick table (bad design) . Not comfortable. Such a shame. This place has so much potential. It was disappointing when it was PCS and still seems to be lacking consistency.. highlights: easy to get a table, our server, chicken tenders. read more

We came back to give a second try here and it went much better than last time. Drinks were great and we had a couple of apps as well. Service was great this time! The crab cakes were delicious and I def recommend these. Loved the cheese sauce that came with the pretzels but wished there was more of it. Next time I'll bring my dog on their patio. Cheers to making up for last time! read more

Other than the rabid barking chihuahua sitting next to us running its trap we loved this place. Drinks kicked ass. Food specifically the Brie appetizer and Cubano sandwich. The food was amazing. Service was off the charts. And once we moved to the bar the ambiance was nice. Singer was there for the night and not so loud that would drown out conversations. The rabid frothing at the mouth patron on the other hand could still be heard across the restaurant. read more

New name, not sure if it is an owner change, for Pacific Coast. Stopped by for lunch on Memorial Day and the restaurant was pretty empty. The food was fantastic and I highly recommend the hamburger. Perfectly cooked and paired with a soft bun. I left out the habanero mayo, that's not for me. The loaded fries are great, but next time I think I will just get them plain, the fries are just so good! Crispy outside, soft inside, just right. BTW, kudos to our waiter, who made an error and came to us and told us immediately and owned it, didn't try to blame the kitchen or anyone else. Much appreciated, and no harm done. Check out happy hour menu. I need to go back for a burger again soon. read more

Nice little venue to gather with friends. They do have some games set up for kids outside in the patio area but they didn't serve alcoholic drinks out there. Not sure if that was the norm or if it was more of a staffing issue. Anyhow, there were some very few vegan options to choose from and none for kids. The French fries are cooked in a shared frier, so we didn't order those. For the value, vegan options, and price, I'd rather go the Plot, which isn't too far and has kid vegan options. But it's always good to try new places. read more

The service was excellent the food and drinks were good we will definitely go back. We loved that they make their own spirits.

We were excited to try Pacific Coast Spirits & Kitchen while we were in Oceanside for an anniversary trip! The menu looked great for food and also for drinks. They have a big, nice patio with cute lights and heat lamps. We got there at sunset so the light was beautiful! We still prefer outdoors seating, and we were let to pick up a table. The tables are far from each other and very comfortable, they also turned the heat lamps on the one were near us! They have a great and extensive cocktail menu, I'd like to try it. If you live in the area, don't hesitate! They also have a Happy Hour M-F! We were in the mood for beers, and they do have great local beers, we went for a couple of Booze Brothers Green Eyed Amber which they were nice and flavorful, great bite! For food, we shared their mole wings, great flavor! La piece de resistance was their distillery fries with chorizo, cotija, avocado, whiskey cheese sauce and a sunny side up. The fries were flavorful, and you have more toppings than fries! They don't skip on anything. Both shareable apps were plenty for us, nice fusion between Mexican traditional dishes with American pun fare. Delicious! Service was very attentive without being annoying, our waiter was nice and fun to chat with. Clean restrooms with lotions and soap, pampering! On top, they had a great musician doing fun covers, in his original way. It created a fun, lively atmosphere! A memorable meal for us, simple, fun, sophisticated and festive at once! read more
