Oceanside features some truly delectable restaurants and food vendors that will make your summer stay very memorable. Take a look at some of our favorites to help with your summer stay in Oceanside:
Local Taphouse
Whenever you travel somewhere new, one of the best ways to see the local community is by visiting the local tap house. They typically offer a gathering space for locals and offer plenty of beer on tap. Here in Oceanside we have the appropriately named Local Taphouse ready to serve you. This local restaurant is a hotspot for global eats, with a menu complete with many dishes you will want to try out. For lunch or dinner, you can try out one of their many sandwiches or salads that are sure to fill you up. The entrée selection includes coconut curry udon noodle, locally caught fish, bacon truffle mac and cheese, and much more. The entire menu is available for dine in or take out services so you can enjoy your meal wherever you want! Perhaps the biggest draw for Local Taphouse is unsurprisingly its giant draft beer menu that needs to be seen to be believed. San Diego is a huge craft beer community but Local Taphouse will make sure you find something you enjoy on tap. We love to visit during happy hour where you can enjoy a variety of appetizers, craft beer, and even cocktails at a discounted price. Hitting up Local Taphouse is always on our summer itinerary and should be on yours too.

The Rooftop Bar
When you visit San Diego you will find that the views are always best up high. Specifically, we mean the views from The Rooftop Bar are second to none as you have direct views of the ocean. The Rooftop Bar is a fantastic spot for both food and drinks during the day. This local spot features tapa style small plates that you can split and share with your party. Options include tiger prawns, tuna crudo, patatas, grilled artichoke, and so much more. This is a great spot for lunch where you can eat light and maybe pair your food with one of their specialty cocktails. Getting a table at The Rooftop Bar is always easier during the week. Stop by at sunset for romantic views found nowhere else.
