Green Cheek Beer Co was founded in 2017 by two pals who love beer and the community it creates. We’re a small company of parakeets that take our time making a variety of beer styles throughout the year, but are best known for our hoppy beers, crispy lagers, big stouts, and hard seltzers.
We are always looking for ways to make improvements on our beer program through thoughtful, tiny, and consistent changes and we think you’ll notice our dedication to our craft with every sniff, sip, gulp and burp! We’re not trying to take over the beer world, as there are a lot of great breweries out there, but to remain authentic to ourselves and make the best damn beer you’ve ever had.
About Us – Green Cheek Beer Co.
We hope to welcome you inside one of our four spots, located in Orange, Costa Mesa, Sunset Beach, and Oceanside, CA, as we pride ourselves on our hospitality …

Amazing Beer & Delicious Food! This place had amazing Pizza, but their burger and tots were my favorite. The burger was cooked perfectly and was packed full of flavor. The tots were crispy on the outside and moist inside. Their beer overall was top notch but, their IPAs were delicious. This place was nicely spaced out and totally family friendly. Definitely a great place for people watching while enjoying delicious food and amazing beer.

Stopped in for a quick beer on the way to dinner on a Monday. The selection was good and being quieter when we arrived, meant the service was quick. By the time we left, the venue was getting busier. Only beer, no food.

I love this brewery!
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their beers!
I live in San Diego and often make the drive to Oceanside for this beer! Their Paloma seltzer is my partner’s favorite and we buy cases at a time.
Their pizza is delicious. You can judge a pizza based on their basic cheese and it is making my mouth water as I type this! Their ranch is absolutely delicious too!
I love a place that has options or subs for vegetarians and they check that box too.
If you love beer and good food, definitely make this a stop on your list.

Chill vibe, good food, great selection of beers, huge outdoor space. My husband and I each got food and a beer- I got the Baja fish tacos and my husband got the Buffalo chicken sandwich. The tacos were delicious- they came with chips and black beans and salsa. I wish they had a grilled option, but the battered fish was very good. They did have a spicy kick to them. My husband said the buffalo sandwich was good- good chicken but maybe a bit over sauced. We both got the Just One Thing… Citra hazy IPA and loved it. Plenty of outdoor space and room to hang.

We’ve come to Green Cheek at least a couple of times: once a few days ago and once during a “Sip Stop” at the Taste of Oceanside event held every year. We were impressed with the pretzel bites we had and on the second visit, we had a small flight of beers. Overall this is a nice addition to Oceanside. I am curious to see if they close the windows to the outside when it’s cold.
We ordered the Cheeky Style Fries and added jalapenos. This was so good! I would order it every time we come and it’s big enough that it will fill up two bellies. But eat fast before the cheese gets cold.
The beers were good, but I do wish they had more options. I love Belgians and some higher ABV options but sadly didn’t have one that wasn’t an IPA.
Next time we’ll try the white pizza!

First visit to Green Cheek since they took over Bagby. The Buffalo Chicken sandwich was very tasty, with strong, bold sauce. It’s worth the extra cost for tots. The kids cheeseburger was well received too, though seems a bit overpriced. The rest of the menu is reasonably priced and there are several other items I would like to try in the future.

Excellent food and a great selection of beer. This has always been an awesome location. The staff is exceptionally helpful, the variety of beer is great and there is tons of seating. It’s a perfect place to spend time any time of day, but it’s particularly wonderful during sunset where you can enjoy the outdoor areas or giant open bar spaces.

My favorite place to play trivia. It’s a very indoor-outdoor vibe, so it can be busy when the weather is nice. The food menu (recently updated with some new options) has some solid choices. Lots of drink options including beer (brewed here and elsewhere), wine, cocktails (with more selection available when Beaker’s is open in the back), and some NA options. Plus, the branding (and therefore the merch) with little cartoon parrots is adorable.

This brewery is big! Inside, outside, courtyard, and a rooftop area, this brewery has a bit of it all. It also has a kitchen with a limited menu for snacks, which were what you would expect from a brewery. The brews were tasty and it was nice having multiple places to explore, while not being on top of other people. I would definitely come back here to explore more of some more of the brew list and hang out in some of the different areas.
