High-quality food & drink, unpretentious atmosphere.
Because whatever it is, it’s here. The O’side vibe—that invitation to be an o’riginal, to take risks and pursue your passion—has drawn top culinary talent to Oceanside’s restaurants. The come-as-you-are dining scene has everything from craft beer and coal-fired pizza to locally sourced farm fare and award-winning sustainable seafood. Not to mention a wide range of superb sips.
You can taste your way through O’side. Each neighborhood boasts its own distinct culinary vibe, from locally beloved to next wave to new school.
We know our way around a handmade beverage, be it caffeinated, high-octane, craft brewed, or literally buzzing (mead, anyone?).
On the western edge of San Diego’s famed “Hops Highway,” Oceanside is craft beer nirvana with nine brewers and more on the horizon. Visit a taproom to taste the local brew scene, with rotating regional beers and tap-takeover events.
The tight-knit O’side culinary community supports its own, with produce from local farms driving menus all over town. Taste the bounty and meet our farm folk at the Oceanside Farmer’s Market, held Downtown every Thursday morning, 9am-1pm.
When you love something, it loves you back. Making thoughtful travel choices helps keep Oceanside green, clean, and sustainable. Show O’side some love by taking only memories and leaving only footprints – always packing out what you pack in, respecting local wildlife, and creating less waste with things like reusable water bottles and tote bags.
You love food photos, O’side loves sharing. It’s a match made in heaven. Follow @DineOside on Instagram and share your o’riginal take on the Oceanside food and drink by tagging your photos with the #DineOside hashtag. Your image could become internet-famous here.
In Oceanside, even our off-season is on point. But Swell Season isn’t just about big waves and beach weather. It’s an all-around, all-out vibe of cutting loose, slowing down, and ramping up that’s just…well, swell. From foodie-approved fall menus and kids-free October to sports and surf competitions, O’side is delivering can’t-help-but-smile swellness all season long.
