Hello Betty Fish House

Too often, lists like these neglect North County, which is outright silly. Just one block off the beach, Hello Betty boasts stunning views of the Oceanside Pier. It can get busy up there with people throwing back oyster shooters, ceviche, and beers, but the unparalleled surf and sunset views make it worth the wait.
How to book: Rooftop seats are available on a first-come basis.

This surf-inspired haunt is located one block from the beach in Oceanside, has a great view of the Oceanside Pier, and the bartenders pour drinks like the world is ending. Strong drinks, beautiful sunsets, and a menu that includes treats like Bomb Fries and delicious Beef Barbacoa Tacos make for a great time.
