Coolest bar in Monterey. Fancy cocktails up front, dive bar in the back. Great lighting, lots of couches to chill on

I get the queerest sensation this is a lesbian bar. I just wish it was open later. This place would totally kill it in LA, but it's too big for its own good here in sleepy Monterey.

Really chill place. Drinks were well crafted and the outside had a seating next to a big fire pit. We went on a Friday night and it wasn't busy but still took a while to get our first drink order in
William Aurelius
Unbeatable atmosphere and great place for unique drinks.
Gina D
Yes 👍

Came for a Jazz night which had a $10 fee, that is standard for Monterey. Love the lighting and the maximalist set up. The bands are always different, was sad to see it so quite as the bands was great but it was a Wednesday. Quite expensive but as expected.

Stopped by for the first time ever, based on a recommendation to try the "Libra Cocktail". It was the actual day of my girlfriend's birthday (10/6).
We show up after dinner and the place is half-empty, which is fine with us, and we stand at the bar and then ask for the cocktail (and I order a beer).
At this point, we are now informed there will be live Jazz later that night. We are asked to pay a 10 dollar cover each, for a bar we are already inside to cover a show that hasn't even setup and would not be started by the time we finished our drink and left.
I explain it's her birthday, we would just like to try their "Libra Cocktail" and then leave. They say it's not possible.
So we would have paid about 20 dollars for the luxury of ordering a drink and paying for the drink separately and then leaving a half empty bar.
Absolutely missed the plot as bartenders/management. Serve the drink, say happy birthday, and wish them well on the way out the door.
It would be different if there was a show about to go on, or a packed house, or some situation in which we are doing anything other than having a birthday cocktail and leaving.
Do yourself a favor and skip this joint. Greed like this really spoils the appetite anyway.

Great bar! Vibes on the inside with a stage for live music, etc., cozy spacious outdoor patio with fire pits and pop up food truck. They do zodiac-inspired cocktails! Will definitely come back for the monthly drag shows.
Pearl Hour is one of my favorite places in town, a cozy, intimate bar with amazing cocktails, a great patio, and the occasional delicious food pop-up!

Total vibe. Bonus points for indoor AND outdoor seating. Friendly staff, quality cocktails. My only complaint is that there isn't a large selection of non alcoholic drinks- water, coke and $10 cold tea. Will definitely be back, and looking forward to attending one of their live events.

Stopped in this past Saturday night and even though there was a decent amount of people, the whole place was dead. The couches inside looked dingy and dirty even in the dim lighting. The patio was better and had a firepit. Drinks were very overpriced and lacked flavor and liquor. The fact that they sell Cheez its as a food option for $7 was hilarious.

Great speakeasy vibe with couches and candlelight inside and an outside seating area with a huge firepit! The bathrooms were clean and it was a really relaxing atmosphere! The staff and patrons were friendly and kind!

An amazing place in Monterey with an awesome vibe and delicious drinks! Cozy, intimate, perfect for groups or just a couple of people. Great outdoor area too
