48 Best Cocktail Bars near Vista

“Friday, July 24th. The happy hour drinks weren't that good. They were watered down and the drinks weren't made right. The bartender possibly doesn't have enough experience. Their house wine wasn't tasty as well. But, the food wasn't too bad. I probably would choose a different spot around main street in Vista like Mikko sushi, best pizza or belching beaver on my next hangout.“

“Justin was a wonderful host! We had a tour and explanation of all the products they produce. We were visiting from PA, our friend from Vista became a member. Highly recommend this establishment for the atmosphere as well as the libations.“

“Fantastic spirits, a welcoming vibe, and fun events at the speakeasy. A local gem that draws people from all over SoCal. The whiskeys are especially outstanding. My go-to spot for a quiet cocktail or a raucous bingo night-- they offer it all. Get a membership; it pays for itself many times over.“

“Incredible and will return. Our waitress was awesome, and she was the only one working last night and it was busy. Give that lady a raise! I had the draft cocktail flight and the three drinks were so tasty. I love the decor and the private seating too. I was in a very comfy chair. Thank you!“

“Loving it! Awesome people!“

“My great grandmother’s brother was Matthew Henebery the whiskey baron of Peoria Illinois. He would be happy to see this I am sure“

“the best ! never disappointed“

“I visited for a business lunch and I was really impressed. This might be my new favorite Thai restaurant. The restaurant was clean and spacious with tasteful decor. The hostess/waitress was genuine and polite. I actually felt like she was happy to serve us. My associate ordered the Panang curry with chicken while I went for the Pad Thai with chicken- spicy level 10/10. It actually had a kick! Rarely am I challenged by heat, but the dish was flavorful, plated attractively and a fully portioned. Next time I’m in the mood for Thai food, I’ll certainly be coming back!“

“Great food, every time I get an order from here, it’s always made correctly, efficiently, and you can taste the hard work in the food that was made. jessie/jesse who helped me today was very accommodating, calm in tough situations as my guard dog was trying to attack him, and he helped bring my order out , I will be giving this business a lot of my money“

“First time here! AMAZING FOOD, best burgers along the entire coast. Clark is a breath of fresh air, he’s super friendly and attentive. He answered all of our questions and when I asked him about the menu he was very insightful and far from bland. Definitely telling family and friends and will be back“

“Has a busy bar in the center surrounded by tables with 4 options for food choices. Game's for family were surrounded by tables. Dogs are welcome. There a area for them to use the restroom with a bag pick up. Water bowls for them to drink from.“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“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“

“Truly a restaurant with outstanding food. We had the herb-smoked fish dip which was perfection. We had the sliders which were delicious. The grilled little gem salad was so good. The crispy brussels sprouts were so good, I could not stop eating them. Truly, it is rare to go to a restaurant these days and at every bite, say that you have never had something so delicious. This was one of those meals.“

“Visited Pacific Point and had a lovely evening. The Wagyu beef skewers and the specialty rolls were definitely the highlights—highly recommend both! The atmosphere is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for cocktails or a glass of wine. Since it's located inside the Park Hyatt, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality of food and the vibes made it worth it.“

“Better than some other bars where you have to mess about with credit cards, pay later, &c. Friendly bar staff. Decent pinot noir. Classic rock on the sound system: like most of Southern California, they haven’t progressed past the early 1970s, so much of the music is 50 years old!! Warning: not a drinker’s bar. Locals sip on kombucha while you’re sitting there getting slaughtered.“

“Great food and great service from a very friendly and attentive staff! Had an awesome date night! Our first time here but won’t be our last.“

“I have eaten there many times. It's always good. I knew the Original Owners, years ago. It was great then and also now!!“

“What an amazing place to eat, fresh food and great service. Shout out to Mike, what an amazing gentleman always checking up on customers and making sure everything is top notch. Best food in the county.“

“The Pour House became one of my favorite bars! The food is great and not too expensive! The staff works hard and makes you feel welcome! Great spot for live bands and always good vibes! Never had problems parking but for that smashburger i would walk 500 miles and 500 more hahaha 📸🤓“

“We stopped by Hill Street Brewing Co. to watch the Mexico World Cup game and had such a great experience. The staff was genuinely so friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. You can tell they appreciate every customer, and that kind of service goes a long way.

The place had a great crowd, everyone was into the game, and it was just a fun atmosphere to spend the afternoon. If you’re looking for a dog friendly brewery in South Oceanside with craft beer, BBQ, and plenty of TVs to catch a game, this is a great spot.

There are a lot of breweries to choose from in North County, but I really hope people continue to support Hill Street. Friendly people make all the difference, and we’ll definitely be back.“

“Tried Frankie's for the first time after passing by the place many times. It has a very nice chill atmosphere. I ordered the Irish Whisky Sour that was on special. The drink was made very well, with a proper pour and balanced flavor. It was so good I ordered another. If you're looking for nice place with a chill vibe, I would highly recommend Frankie's.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Bar Traza yesterday. Our waiter, Zach, was outstanding! He was informative, friendly, personable and very helpful. He truly made our late lunch experience memorable. We sat on the patio, overlooking the golf course with a great view of the surrounding area and hills. I definitely recommend Bar Traza and Zach!“

“Buen lugar para desahogar penas jaja echar una chela, un trago y pasarla bien un rato.“

“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.“

“🙂👍 Andi does a great job!“
