The bartender behaved unprofessionally, preventing patrons from having conversations and enjoying themselves. Our group was effectively pushed out due to what appeared to be his personal resentment. To make matters worse, he refused to let us back in to retrieve a sweater that had been left behind—a sentimental item with personal value—and even locked the back door to prevent any attempt to recover it.
When we returned the next day to retrieve the sweater, we spoke with the bartender and confronted him about his rude and unprofessional treatment of our group. He offered no reasonable justification for his rash behavior and continued to display a dismissive and uncooperative attitude.

Great little local bar in Monterey, good drinks at a reasonable price and open late too 👍

Small little bar with a very lively atmosphere. Nice people and a very cool bartender. Only complaint is that it's cash only but that's not a problem since they do have an ATM inside. Cool spot!

I entered holding my service animal in my arms. Was told dogs are not allowed. I politely explained she is my service animal and was responded to with it doesn't matter. The bartender said it's dark and they don't want someone to step on them and trip. I explained I have her satchel that she sleeps and sits in and will not be on the floor. The bartender response was what does your service animal do and that's the response they are supposed to have. I explained she helps with severe anxiety and depression and the bartender told me if you have that you should not be here. I explained to him my family has been coming to this bar since it open and all I wanted to do was have one drink and think about my grandfather and the times we went there together. Clearly braking federal laws when it comes to people having service animals. And Clearly tax evasion if they are cash only in the year 2024. I can't have my service animal but the bartender can take shots and get drunk while working and gamble with customers but my law abiding service animal is not welcome. Seen the bartender an hour later at a restaurant down the street and he put all the blame on the owner and was apologetic. I explained to him his response was disgusting and showed what kind of human he was. Horrible service. If you have a true service animal do not go here they will embarrass you and not allow you to stay

I'll start off by saying I love dive bars. So naturally, Alfredos is my type of bar. It's a cash only bar with an ATM inside. They don't serve any type of food. They do, however, have a menu from a business that's right across the street. They do deliver! Awesome! Bartender and company are very friendly! 5 stars from me! Cheers!

Terrible experience with the bartender here. I ordered just two beers, and the bartender was incredibly rude throughout the interaction. To top it off, they blatantly asked for a tip, even though they did nothing to deserve one. I was shocked by the lack of basic customer service. Definitely won’t be coming back! I spent $14 on two Corona limes and he refused to continue service due to me not tipping immediately. Ironically, I tip at the end based on quality.
For being my first time in Monterey it was stained by the bartenders lack of knowledge on drinks. I ordered a Moscow mule only to spend over 14 dollars on tequila and soda water. If I could give zero stars I would. I would not return or recommend this place to anyone don't waste your time or money.
