6 Best Brewpubs near Carmel By The Sea

“We came back for a second visit, and it confirmed why we wanted to return. The food was just as good as the first time fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. It’s hard to find a place that’s this consistent, but Alvarado Street Brewery definitely delivers.

A special shoutout to our server, James. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His great attitude and excellent service made an already great experience even better.

If you’re in Monterey and looking for great food, excellent service, and a relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. Two visits in, and they’ve definitely earned a repeat customer. We’ll absolutely be back again!“

“Had an excellent experience at Alvarado Street Brewery. The Classic Smash Burger is honestly one of the best burgers I’ve ever had perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth ordering.

A special shoutout to our server, Andreas. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and fast throughout our visit. He made great recommendations, answered all of our questions, and provided outstanding service from start to finish.

I highly recommend this brewery if you’re in Monterey. Great food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I stopped here on my way out of town and almost skipped it because I am not a beer person, but I am so glad I gave it a chance.

The strawberry margarita seltzer was amazing, and the piña colada seltzer was just as good. I would genuinely buy both of these in a heartbeat if I could. If you are someone who does not love beer, do not let that stop you from checking this place out.

The patio was awesome and such a great place to relax for a bit, especially if you are stopping through town or looking for a casual place to unwind. The bartender was also incredibly sweet, which made the whole experience even better.

This ended up being such a fun surprise and one of those spontaneous stops I am really glad I made.

Overall:
10/10. Even for the non-beer drinkers.“

“Thank you so much for hosting my 70th Birthday surprise party on June 10th. It was awesome and memorable!“

“This is a great place to grab a casual bite to eat — with amazing beer! We came with our kids and they all had a good time. The food was delicious and they even have unique and tasty mocktails. The outdoor space is nice and protected from the elements as it sits in the middle of the Carmel Plaza. We always love coming here and taking our friends visiting from out-of-town too!“
