Favorite bar in town. Fine establishment.

The bartender was fantastic and so accommodating. Made the evening unforgettable. The atmosphere was perfect. There were no chairs when I arrived, but I was fortunate enough to snag a bar rail on the wall adjacent to the bar. When I looked about, I observed that the area is nicely designed in an art-deco style. However, there was no place to hang a coat ((add coat hooks, please!!)). There were a lot of people waiting to be served at the bar, but the bartender appeared to be slinging drinks swiftly enough.

Cool little cash only pub with a good atmosphere. Tends to be fairly busy with many locals regularly. Has a cool old school jukebox with great hits.

Solid pub feel, warm tones, low tables and low lighting. Note: cash only, standard drink prices/NOT dive bar (eg. Tito's $9)

I just walked into this bar by chance. The bartender was very welcoming and friendly. The guest seem to know each other and were well accepting of engaging in friendly conversation.

As someone who worked in the bar business for almost three decades I can say unequivocally that I just had the weakest mixed drink that I have ever been served. This is quite unfortunate as I was initially very impressed with the venue. I appreciated the low lighting as well as the inviting fireplace which my group settled in next to. Unfortunately each of our drinks was nothing more than a glass of ice with a garnish minus even a hint of alcohol, something I have enough experience to recognize. Despite leaving my customarily generous gratuity I was unable to risk ordering a second "drink". Too bad as I was prepared to go deep into the night but opted to hightail it out of there in search of a real pour. Not sure how this place scored four stars good effen luck and my suggestion, order a beer!

What an incredible spot!!! We came here on a Sunday night and was the perfect way to end our first day of our vacation. We got to meet the owner of the bar. Well he is actually the son to Alfredo but his father has passed away and he now owns the location. We got to share stories, be provided a free drink, and just ultimately be happy we decided to stop here. Everyone inside that night was truly super sweet and kind. My purse might of helped open up the conversations lol. The place has a lower light setting and quite small in size, but makes it feel that much more cozy. If you are in the area, come stop by.

5 star dive bar!My kinda place - I've dropped in here a number of times over the years, I've been visiting Monterey for work and pleasure for awhile.The after work service crowd drops in as the local restaurants close - always a good sign.I've sat at the bar and talked with servers on my left and millionaires on my right - all drinking and chatting no pretense...the essential quality of a dive bar in my book: no pretense.Cheers!No food though.Snacks available.And if the patrons get drunk enough some of them will insist the huge mirror is another room, you can have some fun with that.

It's always nostalgic to stop by Alfredo's. The customers are friendly and welcoming. Feels like coming home.

Recommended from the local restaurants in downtown Monterrey. They were dead on with this spot. Great service and friendly staff. This place is a must if you're in the mood for a good night cap

Such a perfect dive bar in the peninsula. It gets busy and it gets fun! Lots of locals who are happy to have a drink and just chill and make friends. I felt quite comfortable here and I think it is a solid local gem!
