Proverbial 0 stars if I could. Staff are both pompous and of course disengaged. Waited 10 minutes at bar nearly empty and no one wanted to serve so we walked out.

Close at midnight, stop serving at 11:15? Make it make sense.

We've been to Frankie's many times so I'm not sure how I've not left a review yet. We came this most recent time for our sons 21st bday! If you haven't been to Frankie's you need to! It's a short walk to the pier as well. The vibe here is very speakeasy without the hassle. There is an outdoor patio area and beautiful booths to meet friends. The service is always amazing as the bartenders are the best!! The cocktails do rotate here and there and are always thoughtful and delicious. There's something for everyone from strong to light to zero proof. Currently the menu is a tour of Oceanside showcasing beverages from various parts of this amazing coastal city! Dogs are welcome and you can even bring in some take out.

Drinks were outrageously good and these two guys were making burgers on the front porch that I devoured even though it wasn’t kosher (dripping with cheese). Also, has a killer bathroom ?

Love sitting on their patio however had my 3-year-old grandson with us and was told he couldn't be on the patio. My understanding in California state law is that if you're serving food kids can sit anywhere but at the bar but grandma took the boy for a walk. I stayed and had some great cocktails and conversation with my familyBack

Just went back for the 2nd time last weekend. Our previous visit was may be a year ago so we noted the cocktail menu change. Still, everything was pretty delicious and on top of all that, they have a pretty bomb Happy Hour menu that goes everyday! We arrived shortly after opening so it was pretty mellow. It did eventually get busier and the sole bartender (had great hair) finally got some help. He was doing just fine up until more parties walked in. At that time, it was order at the bar yourself and we never had issues getting our drinks. We were all big fans of the Sloshie and ordered multiples of those. You really can't go wrong with any of their cocktails. The ambiance is a combo of chillness and old-timey speakeasy. Definitely a place we can hang out at and chat at for a few hours (which we did). They don't serve food but they partner with a restaurant next doorwho will deliver your order (something we didn't encounter on our last visit). We did end up ordering a couple things to munch on so we can have more drinks but it took a LONG time to get the food at 4:30pm. (We think they just forgot but order at your own risk.) Frankie's is definitely a great place to stop in at if you're in the area.

This is hands down the best place to have a cocktail and just hang out. The bartenders are awesome and make one hell of an Army Navy! This is a must go spot when you are in Oceanside!! You will not be disappointed!

Walk in at 11:20. Told they are closed and could only serve me a shot. Was given recommendation where to go. I walked to other bar and that place was closed. Went back to this bar still open but still told they were closed four people sitting at bar that were there when I walked in first place..I'm writing this review with there hours still listed as open.Would I return, no chance.Just list your hours as never open if you don't want to serve anyone.
