    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    Very spacious and awesome atmosphere, Valerie was super attentive and helpful with the menu. The Cubano Sandwich is delicious. Parking is free but limited.

    Had the best time ever! The bartender/our server Valerie was incredible. She was so friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel so special. The drinks and food were the best I've had in a long time! I'm a wing fanatic and these were fall off the bone fabulous. Everything was clean and just pure fabulous. I cannot wait to come back!

    Pretzel/sausage Fish&chips
    Monica N.

    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.

    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.

    you can't/ shouldn't charge $15 for a cocktail and put a rotten garnish on it. Happened twice.  Cheese sauce was grossssss. Service A+++

    Pay attention to detail. Rotten garnish on both my margs. Cheese sauce with the pretzel inedible

    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!

    A cute and casual spot with tasty drinks, good food, and live music. Their menu includes some gluten free options, including gluten free buns and swapping a side salad for fries or onion rings. Service was friendly and attentive.

My husband and I stopped in to Frankie's on a recent Saturday at 5pm. Our kiddo had a performance down the street at 6pm so we had a little time to kill beforehand. The neighboring spots looked busy so we decided to go with Frankie's, seeing as they were less inundated at the time and we had a time constraint. Another allure was the sandwich board at the front door advertising discounted cocktails - sold!! Inside there were a handful of patrons at the bar, another table with two additional patrons and maybe a couple on the patio so it was fairly quiet and slow, so it looked promising. We headed up to the bar and hung out behind two empty barstools, the single female bartender greeted us and said she'd be right with us, but then continued chatting up the seated patrons, serving them and their friends that had just joined (AFTER we'd arrived). We moved a little further down to the handoff area where she was making drinks to save her having to come back to us again, and stood there for probably 10 minutes while she took orders and made all the drinks. We commented that she looked like she could definitely use a hand, and she said they were still adjusting into summer hours and determining whether more coverage was needed at this time - I figured 5pm on a Saturday should be primetime, so I'm not sure in what universe having a single bartender makes any sense. Finally we placed our cocktail orders, waited while they were made, and then put our card down for the tab. After we'd paid, I noticed the cocktails were more expensive than advertised on the sandwich board out front - I couldn't find a disclaimer anywhere that said only certain cocktails were included, so while it was a bummer I wasn't about to wait another 10-15 minutes to catch her attention and ask for clarification. Just a heads up to beware of whatever is advertised that might summon you in from the sidewalk, and make sure you ask before you make your selection. Drinks were very subpar, nothing special to write home about. While I can appreciate the Gatsby-esque vibe they're trying to uphold at Frankie's, they really should increase their staffing especially during prime weekend and evening hours, and be more transparent about their specials and what's included and what's not. Hindsight is 20/20, and the low volume of patrons when everything else around it was going off was probably a sign, so we'll skip Frankie's our next go around.

This was my second time here, and I love everything about this place. First of all, kudos to the bartender--I forgot her name, but she was incredibly generous and kind. She accidentally forgot my drink and kept apologizing, but I told her it was totally fine since we had a large party. To make up for it, she gave me two shots instead of one and even added a big discount. The ambiance of this place is unique and very artsy. If you're looking for a cool, one-of-a-kind spot to hang out, this is it. There's so much attention to detail throughout--even the restroom door is thoughtfully designed with a modern, creative touch. My friend ordered a variety of cocktails, and everyone enjoyed them. The food was great as well. I ordered the hummus plate, and it was the best I've ever had--so fresh and served in a generous portion. My friends tried the pizza and a few other items from the menu, and everything got a thumbs up. If you're in the area looking for a cool place to hang out or planning a party, this is the spot.

First off, they have a "wait to be seated" sign at their entrance, but it took a while to get anyone to seat us. When we were inside, we noticed there was another entrance and people were just walking in, so "waiting to be seated" was just an option? We ordered a beer and seltzer and it took easily 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. Drinks that were in cans by the way. Music was good, DJs were good, but the whole vibe of the place is kinda everywhere. This lighting in this place needs to be more dimmed. DJs are spinning right in the middle of the room, and there's a clothes rack just chilling against the wall. The baristas are way in the back, and you can't really tell who works there. It took equally as long to get the check as it did to get my drinks. We only had 1 round of drinks. I dunno, waiting for canned drinks just threw me off. I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken to get a mixed cocktail. I only saw one guy mixing drinks and a bunch of women just hanging around. I'm assuming workers that look like they don't work there.
