Ladies Love Outlaws Cocktail Bar • $$$
2002 1/2, S Coast Hwy, Oceanside

“Stumbled on this place.months ago and it's become one of our favorite spots. Has the perfect little dive bar vibe but I can also get a nice cocktail with no hassle if that's what I'm feeling that night. Bar tenders are always cool. I'm not even a country fan really but it's a good time. Definitely recommend“

“The place is awesome but the guy running the pool table (Austin) that doesn't even work there runs the name list wrong. If a person is on the table, their name should not be on the board. That should not be going on since the list is long and people ate waiting to play.“

“We never came here for dinner when it was just Pacific Coast spirits because it always looked empty. But we popped in at one point and realized it was actually a pretty cool place to hang with great beer.

We learned that the owners of South Coast brewing took it over and they were redoing the menu. So we came in today and it was absolutely fabulous you guys. We had the chicken schnitzel and the Cajun pasta. I also had the best hazy beer of my life.

I really stand by these owners and definitely check out South brewing as well… great people and they do an amazing job. I really hope to see this place fills up and becomes a hot spot. Great people, great food, great drinks.“

“We were in Oceanside for a week and visited Finney's 3 times. Loved the fun vibe downstairs and upstairs. It's rare to find good, friendly service these days, but you will find it here! The food was incredible and decently priced. Even better if you can make Happy Hour. I can't list all the favorites because our group tried so many apps, salads, pizzas and sandwiches over the 3 days and everyone was very happy. A couple personal tips - get a side of the nashville hot sauce for Peggy's crispy chicken sandwich if you like spicy. A5 Wagyu Burger - try the steak sauce on the side. We tried it with it on and off. Half of us preferred it without the steak sauce as we felt we could taste the delicious meat flavor more without it...but that's our personal opinions. Highly recommended, you will be happy you gave Finney's a try!“
