Our Story
From Encinitas to Oceanside — We're Growing
The Beginning
The Crown Jewel of Downtown Encinitas & Downtown Oceanside
What started as a simple idea — a neighborhood spot where the beer is always cold, the food is always fresh, and the patio is always open — quickly became a North County institution. Nestled along the iconic South Coast Highway 101 in the heart of Downtown Encinitas, Bier Garden became the go-to gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.
Encinitas is one of San Diego's most beloved beach towns — a laid-back stretch of coastline known for world-class surf breaks like Swami's and Cardiff Reef, the colorful shops and cafés of Downtown Encinitas, and the stunning San Elijo Lagoon. It's a community where flip-flops are formal wear and sunsets are a daily event.
Our original Encinitas location captures that spirit perfectly — a big, open-air design with 20+ rotating craft beer taps, handcrafted cocktails, and Southern California-inspired fare. Whether you're walking over after a surf session, grabbing dinner with the family, or catching the game with friends, Bier Garden Encinitas is where the neighborhood comes together.
The Next Chapter
Welcome to Oceanside
Oceanside is one of San Diego's most exciting coastal cities — a vibrant mix of surf culture, a thriving downtown scene, and a deep-rooted military community anchored by Camp Pendleton. With the iconic Oceanside Pier, a bustling harbor, and miles of pristine coastline, it's a town that lives and breathes the California dream.
Downtown Oceanside is in the middle of a renaissance. New restaurants, breweries, and local shops are popping up alongside surf shops and taco stands that have been there for decades. It's the perfect home for Bier Garden — a neighborhood that values community, good food, and great beer.
Same spirit, new home. Our Oceanside location brings everything you love about Bier Garden — the craft beer, the SoCal-inspired fare, the open-air patio vibes — right to the heart of it all on Cleveland Street, just blocks from the pier.
