Breakwater Brewing Company
101 North Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA 92054
Despite being on Oceanside’s main drag and a short distance from the beach, this pizza-and-sandwich brewpub remains one of the city’s best kept secrets among outsiders. Fortunately, locals provide plenty of business, keeping this supplier of quality beer spanning a wide breadth of styles (double pale ales and IPAs to Belgian ales and even mead) going strong. Unfortunately, the venue employs a single-line queue for beer orders that gets very long on busy nights and the dining room gets both packed and extremely loud.
