15 Best Bar & Grill near Aptos

“Every time I go, spot in with the food. This is what I look for in a restaurant. Think out of the box menu with consistency every time I go with every item I order. I keep working down the menu to try everything. They obviously make their own sauce, the ranch, super bomb diggity. Fries, onion rings, salad all fresh and crisp. Mac and Gouda cheese bites, Yes! Chop cheese, you gotta have one of these! Mushroom cap “burger “ something you will crave, Parish pie, goodness wrapped up in one dish. Salmon fish & chips, fantastic. And I forgot to mention beer, beer, beer, they also have beer and mixed drinks. There is always specials on the screens. Last time I noticed something about tenderloin and bacon …… can’t wait to go back and find out!“

“Good food very friendly staff.“

“Josh was a great host. The Fish House Bar and Grill offers a warm and romantic ambiance. My wife and I were very pleased with the delicious food. Our first time at The Fish House but definitely not the last! You can view our “Food Coma - The Fish House Bar and Grill Watsonville, CA - Jon and Kristel Coma” episode on YouTube.“

“Pleasantly surprised... The menu is full of all the generic American food you can expect just about anywhere but it is a much superior version of that food. Everything came with a piece of cake that wasn't so great, and coleslaw that also wasn't so great. It was so much food I didn't really want to eat them anyway. The staff were very friendly, it was a very comfortable and homey environment.“

“We were there for a music event late Jan 2025. HH drink specials were tasty but was disappointed on how cold it was inside the restaurant. Both doors, front & back, were wide open during the entire evening show (48 degrees outside). Even the band mentioned how cold it was before beginning their set. All the customers wore jackets. Also, the harsh lighting was way too bright throughout the restaurant. I wanted my sunglasses on. Please read the room & tone down the lighting & warm the place up, then we’ll be back. Mahalo“

“Top of the line Food thats forsure“

“The food and service was amazing.“

“I've been coming here for a while now because the breakfast has been an amazing experience and I love the service and staff. Lily, our server is super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. I ordered the Mack breakfast sandwich and it was in my opinion the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I have a picture of the menu below which was taken on April 5th 2025. They do have specials and that is always a good pic as well. The portions have value and it's nice to bring the leftovers home. Can't wait to come back“

“Can be a lot of fun here!“

“karaoke night is the best“

“Kitchen staff leaves PROMPTLY at 10pm so dont expect any food or dessert after 10. Additionally, the internet states the establishment closes at 11pm. Although the staff (they told us) has been told repeatedly that the closing time is incorrect, no one has bothered to correct it. Wait staff is lackadaisical. They did not communicate last call on cocktails or offer dessert prior to kitchen close.“

“Rad Spot to enjoy a meal and drink“

“Food was good and Service was great.“

“Ate here a few years ago while visiting, and just had to come back on this trip. Drinks were amazing and fairly priced. Food was also amazing, a little steep on the price but not unreasonable. Eric was a fantastic server, with a great personality. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience!“

“I love this restaurant and have eaten here before they have fantastic choices on the menu and the food is always very tasty, hot and never disappoints. The reason for my low rating is simple: the noise level was unbearable. Conversation was nearly impossible because people were shouting over each other, and despite having excellent hearing, I could hardly make out a word. To make matters worse, the music was blasting. I enjoy good music, but if you're hoping for a pleasant, relaxing dinner, this is absolutely NOT the place. Period. I doubt this review will change anything—but you asked, so here it is.“
