Where to Drink Beer in North County | Eater San Diego
"This outlet in Oceanside is a relatively new venture for Kilowatt — the company started out down in Ocean Beach and Kearney Mesa, and only opened this place recently (as Oceanside continues to build up towards being a pretty busy resort town). But even though this room only opened in 2019, it has come out swinging — the beers are really impressive, especially for such a small company, and the atmosphere here is as electrifying as the name. There’s a plinko game and a huge homemade Lite-Brite wall to play with, along with other board games and fun toys, and you can sit at a long bar or hang your head out the front windows and watch the rest of Oceanside develop up around you. The Kilowatt Pale and 250 kWh IPA are great standbys (and they’ll serve the second with guava here), and if you’re interested in more experimental pints like sours, seltzers, or whatever’s new on the featured drafts, you’ll find lots to try here. There’s also a mug club to join, lots of cool pairings and painting events going on, and of course every Thursday evening Oceanside has its Sunset Market, so you can shop down Main Street and then have a brew. Kilowatt’s one of the newer sparks in town, but it’s shockingly good all the same." - Mike Schramm
