The Space Pad 406 Mission Avenue, Oceanside, CA 92054

"This is a cool spot with a unique atmosphere. My biggest complaint is how much they oversold the experience. It is very small with drinks that are much more expensive than advertised online. We ordered specialty cocktails that were good. I would recommend just hanging out in the brewery up front."

"The drinks were great, atmosphere not my style. It definitely sparks a lot of conversation. The place is super tiny with a dozen seats at the bar, two belly bar tables and round booths. If they had been playing good music that would have made all the difference. I gave it 4 stars because it is a place worth visiting once."

"Very cool place to go to. Make sure to make your Reservation because it is not a big place. My favorite drink was the beak me up. You may get a brain freeze and it is worth it."

"Man Oh Man did I want to give this place five stars but I just couldn’t. I love cocktail bars and speak easys. I’ve worked in Cocktail bars in NYC for years. Maybe my expectations are just high. Made a reservation for this place for myself on a Saturday early evening at 6pm. Killed about an hour in the brewery up front which was just OK. The music in Kilowatt was pounding loud. Went back to the Space Pad which has a cool lit up entry way. The server who was there and greeted me was probably the best part of my whole time at the bar, a blonde woman who I think has tattoos, I never got her name. She was friendly and attentive and brought me to my spot at the bar. The space is very small and intimate, probably seats somewhere around 20 people. But they’re all very close together. The bar is super small, the back bar was messy, unorganized. The space itself is a interior design MARVEL. Little spaceships on pulleys, a moon rock wall, amazing lighting, 50s style booths. It’s awesome. Go in there just to take a few photos. Not only did the server seat me, but she was the one who came behind the bar to check on me AND take my order. Bartenders barely said a word to me. There where two of them mind you running a bar that seats maybe 5-6 people. Like literally four feet away from me. Usually on cocktail lists you place your most popular cocktails on the top. So I ordered the top one, The Ambassador Scones. A crazy Space out infusion Cocktail with a pop rocks rim. Looks cool in the glass. Did not taste cool at all. Couldn’t finish the drink which is rare for me. Honestly was planning on staying and trying a few but just felt really out of place in this tiny space where no one seemed to care about me. Bars no matter how cool they LOOK are about drink quality and bartender personality. It was lacking in both. I gave this place 4 stars because of the idea and design quality, and the waitress who was very kind and attentive."

"Really cool spot in the back of Kilowatt. Recommend getting a reservation or arriving early. Great/unique drinks, great service and really unique atmosphere. We got to experience the musical and light interlude of the Jetsons song. Fun spot!"
