The Moonlighter cocktail is divine!! Great ambiance on the back patio. Excellent attentive servers.

Good place to grab a quick drink.

Great food, goodly portions with a nice outdoor patio and excellent service. They have big screens tuned to sports channels. We had a good time while smelling the ocean breeze.

Friendly atmosphere good food great times truthfully!And some of the most courteous and attentive service by the beautiful Samaria. We have a new favorite waitress!

Visited back in early November while on vacation. We were the first to order food, which took a little slower than youd think. There was a new waitress in training, which took more time during the normal rounds than should have as well. Speaking there were maybe 10 people in at this time... Drinks were too strong, but the food was great. Nice indoor/patio area as well.

Stopped for a drink and something small to eat. Bartender made us a couple of awesome drinks and the waitress Emily was very cool. Good experience and great atmosphere even in this mask on time we are in.

Hey good selection of beer and since you have to eat they had anything from cheap food to happy hour food too bar / grill food. So, nothing to complain about.

Super cool place, ate on the back patio. Great service and owner was making the rounds. Awesome IPA selection on tap. Jimungous food portions.

The wings were really good. Lots of great sauces. And the staff was great.

One of my favorite places to go for fresh air, drinks, food and sports!

Great spot to watch sports. The food is excellent. All outdoor seating is great for the pandemic.

Fun laid back atmosphere, back patio great with dog and kids.

Great service and delicious food and we just happen to drop in while enjoy a ride along the coast. A place we will return too

Great food and atmosphere.. definitely going there again.. And again and again...

We had their fish and chips as well as the Buffalo wings and everything had great flavor too it! However it is a bit on the pricier side of the spectrum.

Were big fans of Beachside, it is our go-to place for Sunday sports viewing. There are several different areas and entertainment options; street seating out front, sports bar, dining area and an outdoor area. Heaps of games and activities. Staff are really nice and the new menu is great. Try the wings.

Its near the beach in So Cal, food was good, Margarita was strong, and waitress was cute AF...and she was friendly and was good checking in on me. Had to tip her well.

This place has lost something in recent years, two years ago it was a 5 star bar. I get frowns where there used to be smiles and the prices have gone up. I guess the price increase is to be expected these days, it would just be nice to have a well made drink and a smile go with it. Its a big place but its dirty and unwelcoming, the food is typical bar food but tastes good. There are many better stops along coast highway.

Such a fun place. Friendly atmosphere. If youre looking for a Sunday-Funday place, definitely stop by here. Back patio has giant Jenga, giant Connect 4, Cornhole, ping-pong, tons of seating and a huge fire pit... Neal Robinson, REALTOR @nealsellsre

Tuesday Cruze-day great service and cool atmosphere

French Fries were great!! Waitress was friendly!

Good food , ambience okay, music / open mic too loud forcing us to sit in the entrance room . Reasonably priced for a beachside town in the area

Good food and service:) vegetarian options also!!!!

Good food good service will be back

Indoor and outdoor space for you, and 20 of your best friends to watch Sunday football! Or any of the other sport nights! Great beer selection from San Diegos hop highway, kitchen is good, staff is the typical SoCal love, or whatever you describe that feigned indifference ;).Highly recommend a stop here if you have a chance!

Good food and awesome Server made this a great experience. A bit pricey for a local bar but the quality and beer selection make it work. Love the patio.

Very nice happy hour. People are great. Cool deck with fire pit and games.

We had our dogs for a day stroll stopped for lunch. They all were very accommodating for pooches Our drinks were delicious! But the food even better I had chicken fettuccine very creamy smooth sauce and friend had Phiily cheese steak lots of tender meat with yummy truffle french fries. All staff was hard working & pleasant

Love this place the first time being here and the wings were awesome. The two girls helping us were awesome too, super nice and sweet they gave my nephew a cotton candy treat.Super nice and thoughtful. Will definitely come back.

Fun, loud, good food and drinks.

Good service, drinks and food

We thought it was a place to catch a meal and a game but low and behold it’s a $10 cover to stand in a crowded bar with no seating.Might be a nice place during the day, but if you are planning a night out with dinner you might want to get there early.

Beachside is dog-friendly, with a few different patios available. Its been such as favorite stop of ours that when we take our dog for a walk in Encinitas, she pulls us toward the entrance as we walk down the street. Food and drink are good, and prices are reasonable. Service is usually OK, but seldom outstanding.

One comes here 5o watch football

Awesome place to hangout and have some fun!

Great mahi tacos. Daughter had avocado tacos and enjoyed those. Cool beach vibe. An Encinitas classic.

Nice place to relax and take in the atmosphere unique to Encinitas. Good value - tasty food. Lots to choose from.

Really awesome Nachos with Chicken and good draft beer!!! Martin & Kristina

Not impressed with the service. The food is decent for bar food. Old Bay wings barely had any old Bay. My fiance is allergic to onions his burger came out with onions. We mentioned this to the waitress, she just said sorry and did not offer to have it remade. We also asked for water, ketchup, and napkins. Never got any of those. When we brought this up to the manager he said, things fall through the cracks. I wouldnt go back. There are other places to get better food and service. Probably ok if you are just there to drink.

Great outdoor sitting. The beer special is a good deal.

Awesome! Ive only been here in the evenings. Love their menu. Had Huevos Rancheros - so delicious and generous portions. Wait staff is friendly and they all work together to make sure their customers are taken care of. Went there to watch the Saints/49ers game because Peabodys was slammed and very noisy. This place was quiet and good vibe. Not only could I see the game, but we had a speaker next to us so we could hear it as well. Novel concept, right?! will definitely go here again. Manager came over and was really cool. A big plus IMO!

Perfect place to watch the Warriors game and enjoy wings. Everyone there is so nice and friendly. Great service too.

I like the beer garden. Free popcorn is cool.

Enjoyed a really great Friday happy hour! They were short-staffed but everyone had a great attitude, and worked as a team to make sure we had a great time and received top-notch service! Thank you Sophia for making sure we were still happy The place was jammin!

Love this place and had the best service from Sophie! I am so glad we decided to stop here for lunch. The food, service and ambiance was amazing. My new favorite place.

First time visit, on a car show night, was great food, nice selection of beers, close to the action of downtown.

I had Longboard burger and fries. My wife had two mahi mahi tacos. No drinks. Food was excellent but bill was $30 plus tip. It was a perfect weather Sunday afternoon at the start of NFL football. The place was packed inside and out. Servers did their best but crowd overwhelmed them. Five stars for food minus one for price and minus one for service.

Good food and top notch service.

Visited on Sunday evening. This open air eatery and bar is a great hang out with a new menu of delicious entrees and shareable foods. Under new management everything appears the same. Great friendly and accommodating staff and servers. I enjoy this place for lunch, dinner, or just appetizers and a cool beverage.

Good service but wings are terrible. Twice I have been disappointed with their wings. Wont be a third time.

There nachos were good before, but they revamped them and the nachos are awesome now. Kids meals come with cotton candy if you remember to ask. Top notch bar food and they have one of my favorite ales on tap Lagunitas 12th of never.

Had a lovely lunch, wife and I split appetizers and a big salad. Apps were hot and crispy, salad was cool and crisp. Service was friendly. As a fair warning: Beachside is missnamed, the beach is about a mile away.

Huge wings! Delicious flavours

Good food, friendly staff.

Fun bar with decent eats. Ping pong and Cornhole were great!

Too soon to see how new owner will succeed.Alcohol prices great.The food has NEVER BEEN GREAT.

Great update to the menu but real wimpy on the double cheeseburger! Also the whiskey sour and old fashioned need work. Nice update to the patio for games.

Ze beer is great, food is great with the beer and the food and beer is great with the sun going down. The people serving the beer and food are great too. Overall, it was great.

It is a favor with the locals and by that I mean the cool locals the nice ones so if youre looking for a great place to chill and watch a game this is probably one of the better places in Encinitas to hang out

Went with the whole family ( 2 toddlers) and they have a really great kids menu. Their burgers are awesome!

I probably would have given it 4 stars had I made this review before the last time I went here. They have changed the happy hour specials, which used to be phenomenal, to just ok and not much of a special. $2 off expensive priced beers? They used to be $4 for a big 22oz beer, now that same beer is like $7 during happy hour. Not much of a special. Service can be hit or miss, sometimes its great, sometimes you wait a while to get your order. The back patio is great though. Hang out there.

Wasnt bad when we got there, and then the waiter came. He looked like he had just come off the beach, it was great. Thought he might start saying dude a lot. Service was a little slow, the reason for the 4 star review. They have an ice cream sandwich which is awesome.

Beer was good , foos sucked , service was slow , waitress was nice and friendly, Bison Burger tasted horrible. Do yourself a favor , eat elsewhere then come back for a beer .

I love their Quiz night on Wed 7pm

Well they are cheery! Pretty quick to take the order of your choice. Although if you want to enhance your choice of food ,they are very accommodating. And the service girls are cute if that matters for some of you.

Delicious California burrito! Lots of TVs; great place to catch a game!

This place was great, they have a great selection of beers and cocktails. My partner had a frosé and she loved it. The food is great here.Even the area is worth mentioning, we drove up there check it out the place and you get some great oceanside views on the drive over, by the time we got to Beachside Bar & Grill we were already in a relaxed mood.Also there are a lot tv screens here so it is a great place to catch a game if youre in the area.

Good food. GREAT SERVICE!

We are on a Sunday booze cruise on the bikes and decided to stop in here for a drink. Had the vodka elderflower drink with peanut butter and jelly chicken wings... Strange and amazing!

Excellent food and drinks.

Great place, food, beer, etc.

Great place, nice vibe, the wings were pretty disappointing

New Ownership, new menu was really good (although I miss the Salmon BLT, that was unique), however the bartender ignored us and I never got a single drink refill or much attention at all. Will try again.

Went for lunch while visiting friends on the west coast. Sat outside where we could see the passersby & sports on TV. Food was good but nothing special. Servers are pleasant.

Great food. Games on the pati o with a fire wall.

The food was great!! And the meet from the burger was so tasty! I want to go back!

Great food, friendly staff, a great outdoor patio with a ping pong table! Also has a shuffleboard table inside. Owner Ron is super friendly, too! If only he wasnt a Patriots fan ;) I guess now that the Chargers are gone it can be forgiven.

Great beer selections and tasty “share food”.

Loved it!!

They got rid of fish & chips. Had mahi tacos, we thought they were overcooked. Chips were stale. Had to ask 3 times for water. Not returning.

Great server food was good. Love the fact it is dog friendly. Lots of options to watch football.

One of the best spots in Encinitas! Greet beer and food selections.

Cool place to bring my pup. Beer was cold, food was good.

My boss always takes me here for lunch. They always have sports on. Food is good. I always get the naked Chicken wings. My boss gets the spinach salad (he loves it). The waitresses are cute. Sports channels are on all the time. We sit inside outside.

Okay, I obviously have to explain the 5 stars as there are so many negative reviews. First, to explain, my 5 star experience is at lunch where we have the entire restaurant nearly to ourselves. In my vast experience of dining, I have found that timing at Restaurants is key if truly you are going there for the food.This establishment is not just a Restaurant but a bar without outdoor entertainment and indoor shuffleboard that obviously is played only when partying not having a quality dinner. The food is worth 5 stars when the timing is right. The potato skins are a treat as you can never find them in our healthy town (it is located next to at least 3 if not more Yoga studios) and the burger and fried chicken sando is excellent. I have had delicious healthy meals and soups as well. The fish has always been good for me. For travellers, even though the front outdoor seating is enticing, I would recommend taking a booth inside by the window instead then you get the view and the ambience. And ..weekend nights..its a party!

I stopped by Beachside while on vacation a couple months ago and Im still full! Great food, atmosphere, and experience.

Great service and great food

The service was horrible and the food was simply average. We didn’t complain when the waiter brought us mystery beers (not what we ordered) but after not being able to pay with gift cards for that restaurant, I asked to speak to a manager. The manager was of course unavailable. Save your money and go to any number of the better bar and grills out there.

Great music, decent bar food, and wonderful local beers on tap. 10 out of 10. Would recommend.

Good food and beer good atmosphere for a party

French dip was too salty. Service was a little slow. But the manager removed my dinner from our ticket when he found out I didn’t like the food. Overall a professional attitude when trying to provide a resolution.

Good food and cold beer. Friendly staff.

This was my favorite place to come and watch sports at happy hour. How can you beat a $4 22oz beer!...prices seem to have gone up. Wish they would have stayed the same.

Awesome staff, great managment. Good food!

Nothing fancy. A perfect local establishment with a great crew. A nice pit stop while touring Mission Beach.

Food is okay. Great place to watch the game and UFC fights. Shuffleboard and reverse happy hour on Saturdays. Nice outside seating area, as well.

Its a great place, but overpriced.

Food is great, nice tequila selection

Great food, relaxed environment. Helpful friendly staff!

Good place to grab a beer and pub food to watch the game. Shuffleboard is a fun way to pass the afternoon. California burrito is small, especially for the price. But paninis are good and sizable.
