Part of the Gay Oceanside Guide — bars, events & things to do.

Oceanside, California
Pier-side dive bar with 38 taps, pool tables, and no-pretense energy
A downtown Oceanside dive bar steps from the pier, with 38 craft beers on tap and a no-pretense attitude. Originally Bub's Whiskey Dive, Pier View has been through a few reinventions but keeps its local-favorite energy intact — pool tables, darts, pinball, a jukebox, and live music several nights a week. It's the kind of bar where the bartenders know regulars by name and newcomers feel like locals by their second drink. Grab a cold one after a beach day and settle in.
