7 Best Brewpubs near Monterey

“Oh Alvarado Street Brewery, I love you. This is my favorite brewery at the moment, I enjoy most of their beer offerings. The patio out back is nice and they have a TV with the game on but it can be difficult to get a spot. The wait isn't completely terrible, for dinner we managed to get seated fairly quickly and for lunch we sat at the bar. I had their beet salad and split a pizza with my brother. The beet salad was great and the pizza was OK. For dinner it was packed and a little loud so it was kind of difficult to talk. We ended up coming back the next day after golf for some beers and their burger which was delicious. Great spot if you enjoy their beers.“

“Cool brewery and pour house, they had tacos from a good truck on the other side of their patio. Their beer was delicious, and we had a great time catching a buzz in the sunshine. Visiting from NC, enjoyed walking the wharf and then taking a beat here!“

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“Great staff, food, and beer! A group of us (11) finished a memorial hike for our friend, and we gathered at Post No Bills in Carmel for lunch. Cooper was the only one working in front of the house when we arrived. He was GREAT!! Very accommodating to our group. So friendly, too. He also accommodated our request for separate checks (we wouldn't ask if it was too busy). We were impressed that he remembered who ordered what as we moved around, and some of us were couples and some were singles. Each check was 100% accurate. Definitely going back! Great service, yummy food, great beer, nice vibe, and a lot of parking.“

“We love Alvarado beers but this was our first time having Mai Tai on tap. True nectar of the hop gods. Staff was very friendly and professional. We had the veg pizza and salad with a beer flight of our choosing. Very dog friendly. The outdoor seating space was in a mall type courtyard and was huge. I was surprised by the polished vibe since I like a more thrashed, worn brew pub vibe but hey I’m not complaining since the food and beer were 10/10. This is a must visit right in the Carmel downtown.“

“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!“
