The Bier Garden Journal
Local guides from our patios
Short, useful notes from the people who work the floor in Encinitas and Oceanside — when to come, where to sit, and what to order.

Encinitas
Bringing your dog to the patio on Coast Hwy 101
Patio rules, water bowls, dog bites, and the calmest hours to come by.

Encinitas
Weekend brunch two blocks from Moonlight Beach
Doors at 10am Sat–Sun. Mimosa flights, Bloody Marys, and the walk up from the sand.

Encinitas
Happy hour on Coast Hwy 101
Mon–Fri 3–6pm: $7 select pints, $10 bites, and where to sit for the view.

Oceanside
The Cleveland Street patio, a short walk from the pier
Downtown Oceanside: taps, the Cheeseburger 101, families and game day.
