Pour House

This place has a great atmosphere. Ben Powell is the best blues gig around folks don’t miss out look him up, the pour house kills it!!!

I was invited to the Pour House, by my fellow «leisurelite» to listen to her friend for many moons play. I am a fan of anything live and plus a chance to chill with other chill humans= win/​win in my page.
We arrived around 5:30 pm and the place was not crowed, but 90% of the tables were full.
Jackie I (SYOY) gave this place a nice in depth review on Unilocal and plus she has memories attached to this place from back when it was the Beach Club, so big up to her for her review.
The band CBR (Coyote Blues Redemption) was AWESOME… I enjoyed their sets. {Google them}
Stephanie and Theresa-​Amazing soulful voices. Warren is a beast on the harmonica, the bass player, along with the drummer and lead singer enjoy what they do!
It was a male bartender that waited on me, didn’t get his name, but right away got our drink order and I tipped him well.
Lastly, some people do what they love and others do it because they have to. One of the waitresses had a bad attitude (in my op) plus didn’t ask either of us if she could get us anything and she walked in front of my recording camera twice, without an excuse me…
It was another waitress, who after I stopped was VERY NICE so thank you to her!!!
Overall, for me and only if, I was invited to this place otherwise, I wouldn’t go back because, for me the clientele seems a bit on the «I’m better than you or what you doing here «vibe.
If you are from out of town, it’s a nice local spot to get a drink and comfort food from! It has a pool table and outdoor area…

Not much to add, great place, great service, good music.

This is a neat little place up in Oceanside that host some great local bands. They have a decent selection of beers on tap and a limited food menu.
There is a private parking lot available, but it’s relatively small and fills up fast. The acoustics aren’t the best and the music can get a little ear shattering at times.
They have 1 pool table by the entrance, a couple tables scattered around, and booths in one corner. They also have an outdoor area with some tables in case your ears are bleeding from the sound level.

4 stars for the food and the drink prices. Points deducted for the slow service. Also for some reason the bartender extremely over doused my old fashioneds (sp?) with simple syrup. Maybe I should just order bourbon straight up with a cherry. The venue is large and there’s usually live music which is great.

3 of us went there to eat and listen to music. Read good reviews so we thought we’d check it out. We sat at a high top table and it wasn’t crowded yet and waited over 10 min. to get any service. Then waited 10 min more to get our drinks. We ordered the ahi tacos I think and the flatbread and the tacos were tasty but nothing exciting and the flat bread was terrible. We asked for our bill and waited a long time for that and then also paying and getting our credit card run seemed like eternity. The music was so loud we couldn’t have any conversation. The country band was good and it was fun to see some great couples dancing. Won’t be back unless we are following a band.

Love this place. A nice hole in the wall, with a total surprise of a food menu. The food is really superb, although not for the diet conscience. This is my 2^nd time here, and not disappointed at all!
The first time I came, we had the dirty chips, and meatloaf sandwich, which was truly out of this world. This time, repeated the dirty chips, although now they now offer it with fries! This time we shared the crab cake sandwich. Again, not disappointed.
I forgot to mention, they have a nice beer and wine selection, and although I’ve not experienced it, they have live music on the weekends.

We loved this place and frequented there almost every single weekend until their bouncers decided it’s okay for some stranger to come up to me and lift up my dress. They let the man who physically violated me stay, meanwhile they 86 locals for next to nothing. This place won’t last if they keep treating the locals like crap. But the food is good and some of the bartenders are cool, I mean when they aren’t screaming at you demeaning you in front of the entire bar for no reason. The two stars are for the few staff members we know and love.

The reviews got me to try Pour House, the food and service made sure I would keep coming back. The Ahi Poke is a delicious work of art. Followed it up with the Smothered Chicken and the Mac and Cheese. I would give the edge to the chicken.
In addition to being funny and upbeat the Bartender /​server was helpful on selecting food and beer. Good selection of beer on tap. We were there for early lunch and are looking forward to coming back and checking get out the evening bands and entertainment.

I used to come here when it was beach club & it was a mixed crowd, never knew what you would get, but always a good time. I really like what they have done with the interior of the place. Looks a lot more modern with sort of a hipster vibe.
When I have gone there it has been live entertainment usually a solo guitarist & has always been pretty good. They have an extensive drink menu with some very creative cocktails. My favorite is the vitamin A that’s has carrot & orange juice, vodka & Serrano peppers. If it’s really busy I don’t ask them to make it because it seems a little time consuming;)
The service is pretty prompt, & the staff has always been pleasant. However the food I think could be a lot better! The menu looked promising with a variety of choices much like the drink menu, but lacked in being anything but mediocre. We ordered the poke which was presented very nicely but just wasn’t really very good, I did like the picked cucumbers & shallots though, but you can pickle just about anything & I will love it. We also had the mac & cheese meatloaf combo. The Mac & cheese was really not Mac & cheese but more of a flavorless butter sauce. It was really disappointing. I know different places have their own style but this did not cut it. Meatloaf was ok. The best part of that dish was the asparagus. Nothing was over cooked it just wasn’t good. Portion size is pretty good here though. Atmosphere & service here is good. I will come back just maybe order something else or eat somewhere else.

I love this place! I’ve been here a couple times since the end of the beach club era and I really enjoy the atmosphere.
They have a variety of beers, cocktails and bar food. Try their truffle fries, so good that we had to get 2 orders. The prices aren’t so bad as well. $ 6 for a Stone IPA and $ 4 for a bottle of Coors.
It was pretty mellow around the time our group arrived. The bartenders are quick and generous. Empty glasses and plates are picked up and removed from tales right away, which is great service.
There’s is a patio area outside where you can people watch along the coast highway. There standing tables and booths inside and they also allow kids in during the day.
I love this place and I might become a regular. Check them out and try out the truffle fries if you’re ever in town.

I used to live right across the street from this place when it was the good olé beach club-​I would literally come twice a week for years because it was the only bar in the area aside from PCH-​it was basically a run down bar and there would be crazy fights every weekend-​it was too much! I really wish the current owners would’ve bought this place way back when!!!
I absolutely love it here. Been here a few times since they revamped the place and they did such an awesome job. I love the floor, I love that they set up the tables and chairs inside for dining-​the wooden booths add a nice touch that fits perfectly with the theme of the place and THE BATHROOMS! WOW! Back then there was only one stall in the ladies room and the only word I can think of as far as description is probably disgusting… but when you gotta go you gotta go! Now they added another stall and redid the whole room. Has a vintage inspired look to it and those faucets! I need those faucets! Great job guys!
I’ve come a few times when they had live bands and the whole feel and vibe of this place is so much better and it’s on another level, I think! Drinks are cheap, pours are heavy and I have yet to try the food just the fries but those truffle fries are AMAZING!
It does however get a little crowded with a bunch of young hipsters on weekends but hey it’s good for business! I’m not hating.
I was born and raised in Oceanside and I back this place!

Cool divey spot on the coast road with an eclectic cocktail menu.
I had the Blood & Sand, enjoyed it immensely.
Also, very cool; a young hip mixed gender crowd enjoying a bit of day drinking was populating the place,… not what I expected.

Another hidden gem in Oceanside
The food here never ceases to be delicious! I’ve tried the dirty fries (shredded pork and bacon bits), and their strawberry salad, and I LOVE it!
This is totally a hole in the wall bar, with the relatively lively crowd. I haven’t been on a Friday or Saturday night, but I can imagine they get really busy. We’ve come here during the day to grab a drink and some grub and it’s yummy every time. there is live music, but I’m not sure how many days a week, every time we’ve been someone’s I was setting up for a band so I would imagine it’s quite often.
We were there once when the bands are playing, and that was a little annoying because it was so freaking loud and you couldn’t hear the people sitting with you. I don’t want to ding them for that though because that’s just preference for myself in terms of loud noises.
The food is pretty creative which is always nice to find at a dive bar.

Sat at the bar for five minutes on a slow evening without being asked what I wanted. Finished beer and sat there for ten minutes without getting asked or approached for another beer. Had to ask for another beer. Finished that beer and waited fifteen minutes without being approached. Finally left because of poor service. Chick and guy bartenders. He was helping people at his end but she was busy reviewing and organizing tabs which looked to be around a total of ten. This was 9÷24÷15 around 7:00. Owner should talk to skinning female bartender to be more attentive to customers.
Even the Coors light blew out and she couldn’t get that working had to settle for Bud light.

Stopped in for lunch today because I heard they have pretty decent happy hour specials. My boyfriend and I picked the right day because it was Moscow Mule Monday and we love mules. The drinks were great, the service was fast and friendly, and the food was delicious. I will definitely be going back.

I love Pour House. It’s such a casual bar where the old and young hipsters come to hang out. Heck, I even celebrated my birthday here, last year! The drinks aren’t that expensive and they sometimes have a good selection of craft beers on the menu.
Come on Sundays for Karaōke nights!

Stopped in for a beer and lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The drafts are nice and cold. The Decore on the walls are super fun. The bathroom was very clean.
Lunch was great. I had the blackened chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was juicy and the bun was fresh The toppings were crisp and the vegetables fresh. Fries were hot and had some pepper. Delicious!

Located where the old Beach Club was for years, this Oceanside restaurant/​bar is [hopefully] here to stay! We parked on a side street and walked in to find a dimly-​lit room with wooden bar, an empty stage, a few metal chairs & tables. Not a great first impression, I have to admit, but it was early on a weeknight. REALLY glad we stayed to find out how great this place is!
CHECKED THE SPECIALS BOARD on the way in. I was pleased to find this waiting for me:
Chicken Sandwich Special — $ 7.95 — Grilled Chicken, Avocado, Grilled Peppers, [no] Cheese, Pretzel Roll
Also ordered was some pretty diabolical-​looking mac & cheese. Dairy is not my friend, so I had to take my BF’s word on it that it was awesome.
Will definitely return because it’s reasonably priced (unlike some of these other places popping up in Oside who don’t deliver for the $$), had good food & beer on tap to choose from. Bringing friends next time on a weekend for music :)

I am not usually one to identify with a bar– but I have to say, this is definitely my main bar. If I could put a label on it: I would say (for lack of a better term) hipster-​dive meaning that it still is relaxed, but some much more than a simple dive.
They are true to part of their name with «pour» meaning that they do not skimp out on the drinks. I really appreciate this bar for much more than that though: there are always good people IN the bar, which is really refreshing, and there are even better people actually working the bar.
On top of that, the prices are on point. They always have live music on the weekends, and even if they do not, the selection is always great. Plus: a pool table and outside patio? You really can’t go wrong. Don’t forget to try some of the the food, either.
The only thing I regret with this review is that I do not want too many people to find this gem, haha.
