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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very Good Food & Even Better Service.
Houston was our server, he recommended brews and brought samples. My husband got the mile-high burger with GREAT fries, and I got the beet & pear salad. Both were excellent. Service was impeccable--prompt, friendly, and professional. Will definitely recommend and return to this brewery!“

“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!“
