Who doesn’t love a rooftop restaurant? Especially in San Diego – where good views are basically guaranteed.
Oceanside has some of the best oceanfront rooftops in North County, and if you’re anything like me, you’ll never say no to a drink with a view.
We spend a lot of time between Carlsbad and Oceanside, and this area never gets old. It’s gorgeous, relaxed, and full of great spots to grab a cocktail and enjoy the sunset.
If you’re planning a trip to Oceanside or just looking for your next weekend spot, here are a few of my favorite rooftop bars and restaurants in Oceanside that you absolutely have to try.
The Rooftop Bar at Mission Pacific Hotel

Location: 201 N Myers St, Oceanside, CA 92054
I love this place! The Rooftop Bar has one of the best ocean views in all of Oceanside. You can see the pier, the coastline, and the most stunning sunsets.
The drinks are fantastic – always fresh, fun, and full of flavor. The food is just as good (get the shareable plates). It’s a great vibe – dressy casual – and everyone is always having a good time.
CocoCabana at The Brick Hotel

Location: 409 Mission Ave, Oceanside, CA 92054
Such a fun spot! We came here for a girls’ day, and it was perfect. The drinks are cute, colorful, and very Instagrammable. It has a fun pink tropical oasis vibe and everyone looks super cute!
The Surf Club

Location: 1901 S Coast Hwy, Oceanside, CA 92054
The Surf Club has a rooftop lounge that’s not super high up – but still offers great views of the surrounding area. It’s got that cozy neighborhood bar energy with a coastal twist.
The live music nights are especially fun, and the drinks are consistently solid. It’s one of those easygoing places where you can just hang out for hours. Not overly fancy, just great vibes, good people, and cold drinks.
