10 Best Bars in Carmel By The Sea

“We enjoyed cocktails and wine at Bud’s during our stay at LaPlaya last weekend!“

“Wonderful find! Great little restaurant with outstanding food! Fast friendly service. Large selection of foods and spirits. ♿ accessible, including the restrooms. Only issue worth mentioning was the noise level and it cannot handle large groups. We will definitely return and recommend it when you are in town!“

“Food is casual and good. Margherita flatbread was a bit too salty but it was good overall. House salad was delicious and fresh! Fries are delicious, very flavorful. My dad said the beer is amazing too. Service is 11/10!!!!! Very fast and accommodating. I recommend this place as a nice casual joint.“

“Great time watching the Niners game.“

“Barmel Love Love Love ❤️“

“We came in on a saturday afternoon and were able to find a table right away! The Bar side of the restaurant has happy hour every day from 4-6pm and their small plates and pizzas were on the food list! Their cocktails were all 8 dollars and house wines 7 dollars. We ate and each had a drink for under 40 dollars which seems absurd in Carmel! Not only affordable but the food was to die for! We had the Truffle Gnocchi which was easily the best gnocchi I've ever had and the White Truffle Pie was so fresh and full of mushrooms and onions! Dipping the crust in the leftover gnocchi sauce put it over the edge! Isabel was our server and she was kind and quick with everything! It was a wonderful little stop in Carmel, just off Ocean Ave!“

“Delicious pizza & drinks.“

“Just stumbled upon this restaurant since it was close to our hotel. Great service and food was wonderful. My husband and I shared the French onion soup, spinach salad and burger. Everything was made to perfection and didn't dissapoint.“

“This is one of the better restaurants we ate at during our stay in the Carmel area. Let's start with the service which was excellent. Outdoor patio seating faces the pond with its fountain and distant hills. Of the items we tried (we ended up returning several times) the Tuna & Satsuma Mandarin and the Petite Filet were standouts. My husband claims they make the best hamburger on the coast!“

“Through no fault of Flaherty's...it was so loud! (There were 3 people at the bar having a very good time. We were seated right behind them.) Next time we'll request outside seating. Salmon & artichoke pasta was good, just needed some salt. The fish & chips were excellent.“
