Made it out for taco Tuesday. The tacos with pineapple in the salsa were to die for. Highly recommended.

Stopped here for lunch while visiting Big Sur. Ample seating for dine in. I ordered the Baja fish tacos and it was delicious! There was no wait and parking was a breeze.

Sorry no photos, but this is a nice location. There’s great outdoor seating above the tap house and the food was very good. For such a remote location, the beer selection was great as well. We drove down from north of Monterey. It was a beautiful, worthwhile drive.

Didn't eat, laid back stop on Rt 1. Good for a beer for sure.

This place looked like a local dive bar from outside. Once entered inside, it's actually an airy place with an outdoor patio upstairs. The food is also surprisingly good and in sizable portions. The price is very reasonable in Big Sur standard.

Came here yesterday for drinks and light food after we had a small elopement at Henry Miller. We had a party of 14 people which arrived in staggered groups (I, as the bride, + the groom arrived an hour and a half later due to taking photos). The bartender made negative comments to everyone. I wish I was exaggerating. I was very disappointed because this spot was recommended by multiple people. It was honestly a perfect day until we decided to come here and that really sucks on your wedding day. Drinks were decent (beer and wine are easy). Food was bar food. He kept making comments saying we should have called if we had a party of over 15 people...which we didn't. It was a last minute after wedding plan and I figured it would be just drinks since we had food at our venue. I came up to order a second round of drinks and some more snacks and he made a comment again saying, "I thought there weren't anymore in the wedding party!!!!" When I tried to explain we were ordering a second round, due in part because there was a mistake on someone's original food order, he walked away from me mid sentence. I've been in the service industry for over a decade. I can understand mild irritation if you're in the weeds, but it's a Saturday night and if staffing wasn't done properly you don't take it out on your customers, especially if they're they're being kind to you. Many of us in the party are industry.
We know how to treat a business respectfully. BOH rocked, kitchen was working hard and the food runner was kind. Again, immensely disappointed in the service and I hope this changes for future guests & business.

We had a few beers and pizza. Beer selection is awesome, and the pizza was excellent… so good that we ordered a second. Unfortunately, it turned out that pizzas were sold out after we ordered, but the owner offered us some free wings instead.

If you are staying in, or passing through Big Sur, you would be dumb not to drop in.

Mmm. Yum yum in my tum tum ?. My sweets and I have come here everyday on our brief vacation away from my pestilent kids and I have to say- this is the best place to eat if you’re sad and want to shovel food (and beer) into your greedy body. I would recommend the beyond tacos (unless you prefer eating animals, then indulge in some meat tacos) and the fajita quesadilla for some crunchy peppery goodness. Just don’t drive home because this place will have you loaaaaded!
