Pour House — Restaurant in Oceanside

They deserve ZERO stars. I was there Friday night with a large group of friends to support other friends who's bands were playing. One of our friends is a US Combat Veteran with a service dog. After about an hour the management came over and decided to kick him out because they do not want dogs in their establishment. They told him he had to go out on the patio or could leave but he couldn't have his dog inside. Never mind the fact that it was 40 something degrees, crazy windy and raining. This is a very well trained dog. She stayed laying down, under the table at her persons feet. She wasn't doing anything that could cause a single person to complain. She had on her vest stating her name and her purpose and was doing her job as she has been trained to do!

What they did is called service dog discrimination and very illegal. "Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), businesses and organizations that serve the public must allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals into all areas of the facility where customers are normally allowed to go."

This is Oceanside, a military town and they certainly know better than to do this to a veteran who needs the help of a service dog. I will never enter this establishment again and I will make sure all those I know who serve are aware of...

The Pour House in South Oceanside is a lively bar and restaurant with live music and a pool table.

This joint has a full bar along with beers including some stellar craft brews on tap.

I’d describe both the appearance of the Pour House and the crowd as bohemian. That is a definite compliment. There’s no trace of pretentiousness here.

A small but diverse menu of quality dishes awaits you here. The pork sliders I had were a serious step above the norm. Quality all the way with their House Bacon Burger too. Next time I’m going for the Ahi Tacos-they sounded real interesting.

On the Friday I was there, live music started at 5:30. They players were great and the volume was perfect. Blues and an eclectic mix was what was played. For the band later, a small cover charge kicked in.

Service was friendly as were the other customers.

The pool table saw action continuously.

They have a moderately sized parking lot with plenty of street parking available too.

Ride sharing services were heavily used by people coming and going.

Glad I spent a few hours here. I’d do it again without a...

This place has fantastic live music every weekend that my swing dance friends and I go whenever it's danceable. They play a variety of genres from country to punk, so in that, there is something for everyone. The atmosphere is a bit like a dive bar--it's dark, simple, has a vintage lounge feel to it from the 20s, and the drinks are cheap, then you go outside and their patio has astroturf with picnic tables and string lights--it's cute! And a bit of a contrast. You go there for a good time with music, a stiff drink, and to forget the workday without the need for flair, which is either exactly the night you want, or you'd rather go someplace more ritzy.

I have to say, though, their food is great and came as a surprise for me considering the casual ambiance. Good portions, can't get enough of their fries, and favorable prices. Personally, my only gripe is I wish the dance space was larger, it can get pretty crowded and it's too easy to bump into people when spinning, maybe there is potential for that with...
