It’s a really cool spot. I love the couches and the atmosphere. The music is great. The only thing is please list on your menu that your cocktails are soju. It’s very deceiving and I wouldn’t pay 17 for that. I’d prefer a beer or wine.

What’s not to love! Cozy, friendly atmosphere with great food and drinks. The outdoor patio is a super comfy spot to hang with friends while inside pays homage to all things music. The owner Dom is a true music aficionado who moved to Oceanside from Belgium to share the concept of a listening bar. It’s hard to describe the quality of the sound, so do yourself a favor and just go listen and be amazed!
