I've been coming here off and on since it's opening. Much respect to the owners who kept it open during those crazy times a few years back. Now they have become a major tour destination for legitimate bands not to mention the great local band that play here. read more

First time there this Saturday night & had a blast. Great drinks, great bites, great staff, close location and the band. B.I.G is a must see! read more

Where would be my favorite dive bar. The food is good and they always have music. However it's so damn loud in here all the time. It makes no sense. All they have to do is turn the damn music down about two notches and it would be a perfect venue. When I leave here my ears are ringing so I just don't come as often as I want to read more

Tell me why I tell the Hispanic security guard about throw up in the bathroom and he says "it's there for the night because it's not my job Its a busy night." and I asked if he's serious and he said he can give ME a towel to clean it but that's the most he can do.. and also tell 20 minutes later my brother in-law and I walk out to the car to get the ladies coats and I thought someone was peeing by the dumpster being drunk.. and and tell me WHY its that same long haired security guard with some other guy with Their faces in.. I'll just say what looked to be a lightish substance.. I mean to each his own... But at work.. on a busy night.. it's dangerous.. NO SHAME! On the way back from the car jackets in tow we walk past the security guard the other guy was gone now but the guard stood VERY alert like he could see EVEERYTHING haha my brother in-law even said "pretty busy huh?" And the guy just staired at us breathing heavily and didnt say a WORD! I want to say I've been here maybe 50 times in my life and the place is usually a fun time it has gotten a little wild lately.. I'll probably review it again next time because I don't mean to hurt the business but I'm not sure how else to let the local owners what is going on if they are unaware.. if they are well.. then pour houses days are numbered.. like what if a big fight happened and someone got injurded or the security guy in His state used the big knife he has on his hip! pour house being shut down would be a damn shame.. I don't want another firewater type incident.. On a side note my wife ate here last week on the patio and she says the food menu is very good the the waitress who is always there was all smiles.. read more

Pour House - Puke on the toilet and handle and floor and sink.. which smelled and was everywhere which was being ignored on purpose. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

It's a dive bar. Not a bad thing but this house is a bit poor. Tables are dirty, drinks are sloppy and the bartenders favor the regulars. I've been here many times and there always seems to be a funky smell in the air. Most recently, I stood at the bar, waiting for acknowledgement, while the bartender was leaning on the bar and chatting with a customer. The eye contact said that they would get to me when they were good and ready. There were three of us and we all got tired of waiting, so we left. On the plus side, the are open late, and they do have live music several nights a week. I like that, I just wish it wasn't so hard to order a drink (and maybe they could tidy up once in a while). read more

Great service. Great ambiance. Loved going here!! The band that played the night I went was FUDOSA. They were fricken RAD!! Met the band and chatted with them a bit after they performed and such good people. Highly recommend this place. So fun. And GREAT live bands read more

I went to pour house recently and found out my favorite bartender, Jennifer is not there! She was amazing. The bar is not the same without her! read more

Went in for a bite and drinks. A band just got off and kitchen closed before we could order, prior to what was stated on website. Had a drink and then had to find some food. Perhaps I'll get back and try the food. Just wish more places would list when their kitchen closes. read more

Great atmosphere. Fun open mic. Probably the best pretzel I've ever had. Drinks were nice and strong.

Great local bands of high quality and energy. Table service isn't so great, so just go up to the bar if you want to order something to eat or drink and they'll take care of you. read more

Fun spot. They always have had live music when we visit. Food is pretty good as well. And the bartender double checks on you when you drink is going low. Great environment. read more

My favorite dive bar. I've been here at various times of the day (still need to check out the weekend brunch menu soon!) and night, and have enjoyed everything from bringing Cali to eat on the patio to listening to live music in crowds. The food is really good and reasonably priced. They've gradually whittled down the options, and now have a simple menu that features Taco Tuesday and Wing Wednesday. There's even a kid menu here! I've had truffle fries, the fish tacos, and the giant pretzel with the beer cheese. I look forward to working my way down the menu. Hilariously, I always over-dress and look way out of place when I come here. No matter the time of day, a lot of hipster and rough-looking people hang out... Anyway, this is a usual spot for my friends and coworkers, so I'll be back! Pros: - dog-friendly during the daytime - decent menu - live music at night - open late (like 2 am) - outdoor area is nice Cons: - parking in the area sucks read more

Pour House - Fish tacos, surprisingly good. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

It is with great sadness that I am writing a negative review of this business. A few weeks ago the menu changed from incredibly burgers and my all time favorite pretzels. The new menu does not match the venue. We want our greasy burgers, fries and pretzels. Keep it simple and fast. 1-hour for a burger on a slow night is silly. We will be eating before coming from now on. read more

Being new to the area we went here to check out some local bands New Year's Eve. This place was popping! Enjoyable experience with lots of people and the service did a great job keeping up with the orders. The wings were bomb, bartenders were friendly even dealing with the intoxicated and the place was kept clean. read more

Ate here for lunch today with the wife. We ordered the Fish & Chips and Bacon Blue Burger and a couple of beers. The bar was full of people around 2:30pm but emptied out before we could finish our meals. The place feels like a hole-in-the-wall bar but the food seems to be on the higher-end. My burger was $16 and was excellent. Very tasty. The fries were seasoned almost too well (a bit salty) but the flavor was good. The burger was a tiny bit on the small size compared to other burgers around town. My wife's fish & chips had the same fries, but the fish portions were the smallest I have ever seen at any restaurant in my life. The fish was good, but these seriously were nugget-sized, and for $15 I think this is way overpriced. The staff was very friendly. This is definitely a smoker's bar and there is lots of seating outside on two separate patio areas which is great (I smoke occasionally). Beers were cold and tasty. They had a good assortment of beers on tap too. Our biggest issue, if any, was the timing. We ordered and waited forever to get our food. I had finished my whole pint and ordered another before our food came. No one else was eating in the bar, so although things were tasty it's hard to want to come back for food. Otherwise, if you're looking for cold drinks and an easy place to smoke, this is the one. read more

This place is such a vibe!!! Shannon the executive chef recommended the pretzel and the double burger and both were so delicious!!! I love the beer cheese sauce the pretzel came with and the grilled onions on the burger were so good. Our bartender Chanel was so friendly and recommended some IPAs that were refreshing and went perfectly with our meal. They have a pool table to play with friends and they had live music that was awesome. I'm definitely coming back with more friends soon! Try this place asap! read more

So we've been coming here for about 8 years. Mainly to see some good live music. The food used to be very good. Lately it's been mediocre and much smaller portions. The menu has changed many times. We feel obligated to eat here. If we're going to see a band because we don't drink alcohol. Today was the worst meal we've ever had here! Hubby's burger was extremely over cooked and my fish (fish tacos) was forgotten in the fryer for God knows how long. One server for the whole place, outdoor/inside! Poor girl, did the best she could read more

Soooo, came on a Saturday night about 6:00 Inside was packed but they had a cool looking/ sounding band inside. It was Loud so we couldn't really talk and hear each other, so we went outside. Lots of pics wood picnic tables set up on the asphalt parking lot. Kids were running around having fun using the cute table lights as footballs which was kind of scary and sad. Drinks for good, had quite a few beers on tap and we ordered their nachos to share very interesting flavor. Cute Oceanside pub to stop at and visit and catch up with friends read more

Pour House - Sharing the nachos - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

Fairly inexpensive place to see hang out or see a band. Lots of room and a large patio. When I was there, table service was not available, and I am not sure if that is typical. But I had fun and the acoustics are good for music. read more

Damn good burger and fries - yes its a dive bar but don't sleep on that kitchen. They are doing good things in that spot. We got pour house burgers with regular and the truffle fries. Food was quality and the staff was so sweet and take care of ya! read more

I like this place for a nice chill vibe. I came to see a band perform and also had the chicken wings with fries which were pretty good and the portion sizes were great! I like that they offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and the pool table is a plus! The bathrooms are always maintained clean and service is always on point. read more

You wouldn't think a place like this have good food! The bar itself is very divy bar feel. The front Covid patio is nice. The bar seating facing the streets are nice to sit and people/car watch. We ordered the mussels, burger sub truffle fries and chicken wings. The food was definitely good. The mussels had this milky coconut broth. It was good, not what I prefer when eating mussels- more into tomato base broth. The wings were nicely cooked, no rub but you can request all the dipping sauces you want. We shared the burger and it was just the right amount of food! My cocktail was okay, I got the mule with some extra limes and it was still too sweet. Maybe a martini next time. read more

Pour House was the perfect place to host my company's holiday party. Monique helped us create a fun event for everyone to enjoy. Will helped find and book us an amazing band that kept the energy up through the entire event. We had great food, a fun live band and I'm still getting compliments on what a wonderful time everyone had celebrating and being able to hang out in a comfortable and welcoming venue. Would highly recommend hosting an event here. The staff is so helpful and made it easy to pull together a memorable holiday party for us all. read more

This place was fantastic all the way around! I'd been wanting to try Pour House since I first drove by it a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I finally got around to it! The drinks are superb, and they were willing to make my drink to my very particular (and obnoxious) specifications. The food was also good, though not as stellar as the drinks. The servers were personable and checked in frequently. I will definitely be back! read more

Bearded bartender made it clear he was ignoring me. Couple next to me at the bar ordered and received their food; still the bartender studiously ignored me for many minutes. I just wanted a beer. When the bartender finally had time for me, he was utterly hostile. I ordered two beers. He demanded, "who's the other one for?!" ' I just didn't want to wait another awkward ten minutes for the next one. It's for me" He refused to pour the second one. I took my beer out and left no tip. He shouted "Hey, thanks a lot!" "You earned every penny, pal..." (lifts glass with a wink.) It's actually really fun to be a bartender. I don't understand how this hostile bearded guy chose to make it a wretched experience. This was the first and only time I've EVER left no tip, but he earned every penny and I feel zero guilt. Utter POS. WTF is wrong with you dude? read more

Popped in pooped out from house hunting all day. Wings were AMAZING, burger hit the spot & the fries were Da Best! The bartender was rock solid, the vibe was local and it was perfect! read more

This place has a dive bar vibe but the drinks and food was above dive bar standards. Creative drink menu and they were delicious! Food is fantastic, highly recommend the pretzel, literally amazing. Live band on a Friday night added to the fun. Service was quick and checked on us often! read more

Pour House - Pretzel - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oceanside, California

They have some amazing beers on tap and the food was above average. Definitely a dive bar and if you're not into that vibe, the locals may be a bit much for you. Definitely not a yuppie or bougie place. I ate outside and the service was okay but when she didn't see me while walking around she just closed out my tab, so much for that tip. I gave her cash but it could have been more on my card. read more

Very cute patio area to enjoy the benefits of California weather. The food selection was okay, kinda limiting and didn't really stand out as wow....but decent. What made this place really impressive was the bottomless mimosas. Its kind of hard to find restaurants offering that up in north county. Offered on the weekends for brunch from 10-1pm. Again which is nice because usually there's a 2 hour window. So as a brunch spot with friends definitely a nice option. read more

There is only a few places open on Monday and this is one of them. The moment we walked in, we can see this place in very fun, friendly and frequented by locals. The food is amazing and delicious. Bartender Robby was very friendly, helpful, and great food recommendations, we want to try everything he mentioned! For sure we will return for more. He was hopping on Monday when the trivia started at 6pm. Busy for Monday. Note: Parking can be a challenge because the parking lot is set up for seating. (But usually there is plenty on the street or behind the place.) ~ We went for more and it was great! Jennifer was awesome giving some great recommendations and one of the chef Codie made sure my Cuban sandwich was prepared so delicious and pressed to perfection. We tried oysters and the ceviche as well... but my favorite was the Cuban for sure! read more

They deserve ZERO stars. I was there Friday night with a large group of friends to support other friends who's bands were playing. One of our friends is a US Combat Veteran with a service dog. After about an hour the management came over and decided to kick him out because they do not want dogs in their establishment. They told him he had to go out on the patio or could leave but he couldn't have his dog inside. Never mind the fact that it was 40 something degrees, crazy windy and raining. This is a very well trained dog. She stayed laying down, under the table at her persons feet. She wasn't doing anything that could cause a single person to complain. She had on her vest stating her name and her purpose and was doing her job as she has been trained to do! What they did is called service dog discrimination and very illegal. "Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), businesses and organizations that serve the public must allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals into all areas of the facility where customers are normally allowed to go." This is Oceanside, a military town and they certainly know better than to do this to a veteran who needs the help of a service dog. I will never enter this establishment again and I will make sure all those I know who serve are aware of what they did. read more
