37 Best Bars near Pacific Grove

“The food is excellent. The ingredients are fresh and prepared perfectly. I only eat gluten free and their gluten free pasta is tasty. The flourless chocolate cake is delicious. My family is not gluten free and they enjoy their food as much as I do. I highly recommend Mezzaluna as their food and service is unmatched. We gladly drive from San Francisco to Pacific Grove to enjoy their daily specials.“

“Beautiful view of shoreline, delicious entrees, great atmosphere, helpful waitstaff.“

“EXCELLENT beers, service, food truck food. Over 20 beers on tap, lengthy IPA list. Many different IBU & ABV values, tropical, bitter, fruity, strong, session, everything. Tasters, flights, and different size beers on tap as well as growler fills and many canned beers to go. Great near Fisherman’s Wharf by the waterfront and cheap parking. On-site Wedo’s Food truck has GREAT tacos; I had the chicken and also the fish (the BEST) and some chicken nachos = all very good. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“From the prompt service to the delicious food, this was a terrific experience. Our server, Mark, went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of. He even let me sample some different wines to make sure I got something I was happy with. The oysters were delicious, as was everything else we had. It was also one of the more affordable meals I’ve had in Carmel. Definitely recommend!“

“I love this place! Also love that Synchronicity Holistic Dispensary is right next door! My favorite thing ever was the buffalo chicken dip, they only make it randomly but holy moly. Also they half flatbread and salad makes the perfect meal. Even if you don't like beer they have really great options of sours, ciders, and wine that are constantly changing. Love it!!!!!!!“

“Came here while on vacation with my husband for dinner and twice for breakfast. The service was fantastic as well as the food. Fidel was super friendly, kind, and brightened our vacation so much. He is very knowledgeable about the area and wanted to steer us in the right direction when visiting places. His service was outstanding and his team was awesome, too. Next time we vacation in Monterey we hope to see him again! The food, as I mentioned earlier, was fantastic. I got the cauliflower steak and was surprised how good it was. My husband got the award-winning clam chowder bread bowl and he said it was the best he’s ever had. Normally restaurants will load up their chowder with potatoes, but in his bowl, there were plenty of clams. We finished off the night with the chocolate cake and a scoop of ice cream to pair with the wine we brought. Amazing combination.

Thank you to Fidel and his team for making our dining experiences unforgettable!

The breakfast buffet was also amazing. They had a made-to-order omelet and waffle bar as well as a ton of other items in the buffet, including: sausage, bacon, eggs, roasted potatoes, corn beef hash, cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, muffins, donuts, biscuits, gravy, oatmeal and toppings, hard boiled eggs, and more.“

“We enjoyed cocktails and wine at Bud’s during our stay at LaPlaya last weekend!“

“Trident Room Where I picked up a personalized bier mug years ago when I was speaking at the NPS.EDU The mug has been broken so I’m seeking a replacement. They marked one’s personalized mug on the bottom and left it hanging at the bar for repeated quaffing. Mine was marked ‘Cybercop’ a term I created years ago while I was teaching Cyber Security at the FLETC.GOV“

“Great time watching the Niners game.“

“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!“

“This bar is the type of clubby leather clad place that is perfect for a “final final”. The bartenders give great service and there is a wide selection of scotches and bourbons and cognac. There are also several televisions and they serve a limited menu of pub food. Sit by the fireplace and relax after fighting the winds at Spanish Bay.“

“Barmel Love Love Love ❤️“

“When it's busy, like on karaoke nights, service is very slow and good luck getting someone to come to the table to take your order. Not much for decor or ambience but quite a crowd on busy nights. Over all, i recommend for a nice evening out with friends.“

“Amazing finding of this brewery.! We just loved the food and drinks, simple amazing and worth for its price.

Parking is little difficult as it’s in the prime area. But inside the brewery it’s simple fabulous 👍 much recommended one for brewery lovers“

“Unique little night spot that was a fun little surprise. It is definitely compact, and they do have a dress code. Bar tenders are effecicient and the staff overall were very friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a fun spot to have drinks on a night our in monterey, this is a fun place to add to your list. Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Cleanliness: 3 Quality: 4 Value: 3“

“Great central Carmel location amongst galleries, bakeries, coffee shops, bookstores etc. In good weather ask for the patio they take reservations by inside vs outside. Great atmosphere out there… old building, stucco, vines, etc. It was cool but they have plenty of heaters. Great food… had bruschetta appetizer which is loaded with diced tomatoes and smoked flavor (grilled bread). Also the di stefano salad, it has crispy goat cheese, roasted beets and fig-balsamic dressing. Excellent, highly recommended! Had the cioppino which was excellent. Good wine list. Eat here lunch OR dinner.“

“Delicious pizza & drinks.“

“We had a delicious meal and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the clam chowder. My NY Strip Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and came out hot to the table. Our server, Colleen, was friendly and knowledgeable. She made a great meal even better!“

“The best for outdoor seating and views. Order a Pizza!“

“Stopped in for dinner while visiting my parents who live in the Carmel area. Even though it’s not on the main drag, this is a great place to eat for good good, a chill mid century vibe, and friendly staff (thanks Tiffany!). We had the calamari (A+), hangar steak (cooked to perfection), house hummus and veggies, crab cake, and the Caesar salad with grilled prawns (YUM). Kid friendly as well. Def stop in here - breakfast and dinner.“

“Super good wings, burgers and sandwiches! The service was awesome, super quick and really attentive. The vibe of the place was relaxed and the decorations/history was interesting. Slightly pricey for a burger but it was super good and i’d get it again. I’d recommend the blackened chicken sandwich the most!“

“Well they were out of everything, but cheeseburgers and my friend accidentally spilled my drink on me and they made us buy another when Sardines replaced it for free. FAIL in my used to be a server’s eyes. You ALWAYS take care of the guest!!“

“Delicious! Authentic, cool atmosphere, and great prices. Service was amazing. Will come back!“

“For hotel breakfast places, this is one of the best I've been too. Preparation is like a standalone restaurant than hotel dining. Portions are med/large, and coffee is dark brewed. View of the small pond adds to the dining experience. Highly recommend eating here, prices are fairly reasonable.“

“I’m from out of state. A group of us travel several times a year and have tried many restaurants. We always try to go to restaurants we wouldn’t have at home. This was by far the best. The homemade French press hot tea, Bloody Mary, rice and beans, cabbage rolls, caeser salad and turkey lentil soup. I can’t say enough about the owner and food. Give them a try!“

“Very nice and friendly place to have a dinner date.“

“Beautiful view , delicious food !“

“We had a wonderful meal sitting with heaters overlooking the airport runway. Chef Tim Wood is a excellent cook, and all our food was fresh, and delicious. I highly recommend this unique restaurant to enjoy!“

“Great dinner and music 😍. Good waiter and drinks were extra good ❤️“

“I did a mistake when ordering, ordered something that I can't eat. Realized my mistake too late, I even started eating the side pieces. After realizing I wanted the check, and was told I can pay with the tablet on the table. My meal was uneaten so I explained to the waiter I can't eat it, it was on me, not than meal was bad or anything. She told me to wait aminute, and replaced my meal with something else. Staff is attentive and very friendly.“

“Through no fault of Flaherty's...it was so loud! (There were 3 people at the bar having a very good time. We were seated right behind them.) Next time we'll request outside seating. Salmon & artichoke pasta was good, just needed some salt. The fish & chips were excellent.“
