After driving by for a year I finally peeked my head in and checked it out, it wasn't what I expected at all..... it's a really cool place, seems like a great hang and very cool music, and a good upscale but subtle bar. Trendy, but not trendy. The focus seems on atmosphere, good vibes and mostly.... Music
I recently moved to San Diego and decided to explore the local vibe in Oceanside. I loved the relaxing electronic music and the aesthetic interior design of this spot. The atmosphere was both cozy and stylish. I tried an appetizer of truffle and parmesan popcorn—simple yet incredibly delicious.
Absolutely had a wonderful time soaking in the ambiance of this cozy, relaxed bistro bar, where the music really sets the tone. The DJ, positioned right in the heart of the space, along with a pair of impressive JBL speakers, ensures that your evening kicks off on the right note (pun intended). The venue itself pays a beautiful tribute to mid-century design, having been thoughtfully designed and renovated. Their outdoor patio is a delightful touch. I'd also suggest trying their Soju cocktails or exploring their selection of European beers to enhance your experience.
Wowza. An intergalactic trip back a few decades to Sound by the Sea was a welcomed arrival. Filled with creative drinks and fun snacks surrounded by jazzy people and rad beats. What a beautiful journey. Would like to take a trip back!
Cool spot. Chill vibe, retro speakers, and a great vinyl collection. Drink and food selection is sparse, but the music and vibe make up for it.
Great place in Oceanside! Nice atmosphere, tasty food, and drinks. Super welcoming owner and staff. It's a nice spot with fun music to spend the evening.
This a listening bar rather than a nightclub. It's set up for listening to music and socializing, not for dancing. The vibes were great during my visit, I got into to several pleasant conversations with other patrons. I didn't encounter anyone who was over-served. The staff was friendly and professional.
What's not to love! Cozy, friendly atmosphere with great food and drinks. The outdoor patio is a super comfy spot to hang with friends while inside pays homage to all things music. The owner Dom is a true music aficionado who moved to Oceanside from Belgium to share the concept of a listening bar. It's hard to describe the quality of the sound, so do yourself a favor and just go listen and be amazed!
