This is my absolute fave bar of all time!
I know all the bartenders including Mariah, Shawna, Dave. Albert.
The atmosphere and mix of customers here changes almost hourly.
Drinks are cheap some beers are dollar off until 6 PM
Come by and meet some locals in Oceanside’s unpretentious down to earth dive bar!

I used to love this dive bar. Cheap drinks, good pour, jukebox. The prices have gone way up. No longer dive bar prices. $14 for a Bullett bourbon neat.

First class ocean local place, complete with all the paper money you’d ever need on the walls and ceiling. Good music and vibes selected by everyone. Friendly locals and bartenders, including especially young and beautiful Alexandra.

I’ve been in this city for many decades and never walked into this place and there’s nothing but regret! OMG!! The music, the vibe, the bartenders… Ugh, its Awesome!
I’m a straight shooter, I’ll give you the good and the bad. The best and worst because that’s what I would want to know when I’m deciding on a place.
The vibe… From the first step into this joint I knew I was in love. It’s a dive bar without the sticky counter tops. Great music, great pours, great people, great vibe. No drama, but all of th classic feels were looking for.
The decor is generations old. You want culture, you’ve got it here. There’s so many different additions customers have added over the years. I love how open and accepting it is here. They literally ARE the local vibe.
The drinks are great. I’ve been in a number of places that charge high end prices for watered down drinks and this isn’t it. Coming directly from a “high end” establishment into here, I was knocked on my heels. I got everything I was looking for in a single place (minus food).
Parking. It’s Oceanside. There’s so much parking here, just do it.
Last note. I heard a nasty rumor Haunted Head isnt going to be here much longer. It’s been open is ’93 or before. Drop your dinner dates and come here before the last of our culture is gone! You won’t be sorry.

Always a trip to The Head when visiting Oceanside.
Great pours and great Bartenders and Manager.
Long bar seats probably 12 to 15 people. Plenty of additional high tops. Bar only, no food but there are plenty of options surrounding. Easy walk from all Oceanside hotels.
Highly recommend and always will return.

If you’re ever in the Downtown Oceanside area and you’re hanging out past 9PM at night, there’s a good chance that you will find yourself at this local hideaway. Welcome to The Haunted Head Saloon.
It’s one of Oceanside’s most famous Dive Bars.
Actually, The Haunted Head Saloon is one of the only bars in Downtown that can be considered “Divey”.
Because they do not have any food for sale here, you MUST BE 21 OR OLDER to enter. NO EXCEPTIONS.
What I love the most about The Head is that their security is on-point and it’s relatively safe inside (considering that it’s a dive bar).
The few times I’ve seen drama, it was quickly addressed and carried outside.
One of the BEST aspects of The Haunted Head is its location. You can find it right off of Mission Ave & Tremont St in the heart of the Downtown Area.
It’s just north of the Regal Movie Theater.
Because of its location, you can walk to the movies, to the pier or beach (2 blocks away) or to any of the parking garages nearby (within 8 minutes).
In addition, there is Pier Pizza located right next door to them selling pizza by-the-slice, tacos across the way at Sanchos Tacos, Strawberry Shack for cake desserts & Fugu icecream shop just around the corner. So, you can always find something to eat BEFORE you start drinking AND the pizza shop typically stays opened late for the crowds.
The bartenders work quickly (especially considering the crowds) and there is a Full Bar at their disposal.
I wouldn’t come here for a “foo-foo” pretty cocktail, BUT, simple mixed drinks or shots are best.
They’ve got some TVs in there (just for decoration because everyone’s drinking), a pretty solid pool table (that they maintain monthly) and a jukebox that patrons can customize their songs too (download the AMI MUSIC APP).
PRO-TIP: There are snack bags by the bar to nibble on, ask the bartender for one
There’s also a 5 gal water dispenser in the back.
The interior is dark, pirate themed and decorated in $1 bills. The tradition is to get yours from the bartender, sign it and tape it up!
There’s booth seating in the corners, 2 long wooden tables for seating, bar seating & multiple high-chair tables too.
The only aspect lacking in this bar are the bathrooms. Well, I can only speak for the men’s bathroom. It’s small. Cramped and no privacy.
Pretty much exactly what I would expect from a dive bar!
Anyhow, The Haunted Head Saloon has been around for as long as I can remember and I always recommend passing through late at night when in the Downtown Oceanside area; besides, everything else is closed!

When I reached out to Haunted Head about the bartender giving herself an unauthorized additional tip, the response I received was “You’re complaining about that? Seriously?” (See attached photo.)
Full Story:
I have called on two separate days, requesting to speak to the manager, and both times I was denied the ability to. The second time I called, the woman who answered the phone hung up on me. Her voice sounded the same as the voice of the woman displayed in the attached photo, who perpetually yelled at me in the bar because she was unaware that the tip I left for her was placed on a different card. When I tried to explain this to her, she didn’t understand me, and continued to yell at me, very loudly, in front of other customers and the other staff member, making us all extremely uncomfortable, and quite honestly very alarmed.
Upon review of my credit card charges, I see that she gave herself an additional tip without permission, and charged me $50.
I am now uncomfortable with returning to Haunted Head, and have not returned, because I am worried I will run into this woman again if I do, or have my money stolen again.

I had a brand new drink accidentally spilled over in front of me literally 6 in away from the bar back he couldn’t be bothered to give a bar towel let alone clean anything up that’s what you can expect here

Unique Dive bar that is always a cool place to grab a drink if you are a local or visiting from out of town. Look up to see the cool pirate ☠️ decor and enjoy the local pirates of Oceanside, CA. Welcome!
