Stir up your evening or grab a nightcap at Frankie’s, the swanky cocktail lounge in downtown Oceanside. A mellow haven with a distinguished interior, the Pier View Way venue offers select high-end drinks at 5 p.m. weekdays with a 1 p.m. start on weekends. Slide into a padded booth, relax at the long bar, or watch the world go by while sipping on the patio. Enjoy classic cocktails such as martinis or whiskey sours, or try traditions with a twist — such as the tropical Sherry Colada. Masterful mixologists can also whip up just about any custom order. Sparkling, white and rose, red and dessert wines, plus domestic and draft beers round out the mood-elevating menu. frankiesoceanside.com
