Embassy Room

Embassy Room
1835 S. Coast Hwy
Oceanside, CA 92054
(760) 722-9187


The Embassy Room is a pretty sweet beer only dive. They have a huge bar with plenty of seats, 3 pool tables, darts, an internet juke and three small TVs for sports. World Cup and Padres were on when I was there and the Padres pulled out a come-from-behind win vs the Nats! This place is a Padres bar. (and Chargers..) They have a really cool wall with news clippings and junk from the Pads' two world series runs including framed Cub-Buster and Tiger-Tamer t-shirts. So good! They serve mostly draft beer in two different size mugs. The small mug holds 24oz and cost $3.50 for a Red Trolly. They only have a half dozen taps or so but you don't really come here to drink fine beer. You come here to drink 36oz of PBR for 4 bucks. They also have a Sopranos pinball machine. Unfortunately, it needs a tune up really bad. So, don't waste your quarters. Overall, I like the Room. The crowd was friendly, the beer was cold and cheap, and Piazza hit a solo shot to win it in the top of the ninth! A good day indeed.
