“I’d eat there daily if it were up to me. Id like Kyle to make every martini for me for the rest of my days, & Rafael to serve me ravioli on my deathbed. Don’t get me started on Freddie & his impeccable style. A+. 10 stars. Take me back 💞“

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

“Had an amazing evening. Awesome beer and a mindblowing variety. But even better…your regular guests like “Hophead Ryan” next to me at the bar. The conversations we had, are the reason I travel.
Please tell him Sven loved his “Monterey
Fish House recommendation”.“

“Our first visit to Carmel by the Sea. Just looking for a quick bite to eat and stumbled upon A.W. Shucks. A small corner bar. Beautiful inside and sea murrals on the walls. We ordered the crab salad sandwich, clam chowder, bloody Mary and a margarita on the rocks. Recommended!“

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

“I dream of the smashburger and wings. Burger Monday was a weekly staple, along with Wing Wednesday. Rico (the bartender) was always so kind and gave this place a strong sense of community. Despite Monterey being a tourist destination, Alvarado Street Brewery and their locations create a great atmosphere for locals too. I hope Rico is doing well!!!“

absolutely delicious food. atmosphere could be a little more cheery, and I think that would have a lot to do with whoever Is handling the bar.. Definitely needs a little more love as far as customer service but overall this place has a lot of potential. EdithEsquire“

“Probably the best military bar I've been to. Good prices, food was solid, atmosphere is great, and the beer selection wasn't bad!
I wish more military hotels had this amenity.

Only complaint was 10pm closing time. I wish the place stayed open longer.“

“Delicious pizza & drinks.“

“The bartender was very nice. He let us know the kitchen was about to close, and to get our food orders in. The food was very yummy. The patty was smaller than I expected, but tasty and well cooked. My daughter loved the waffle fries, and husband liked the tots. We had a couple drinks, ate, it was a very chill lunch we enjoyed.“

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

“London bridge pub-Monterey“

“My wife and I had a wonderful time during a day-trip last Sunday, 4/12/26. Our server did a great job of attending to our every whim and request! The ambience was fantastic and even though it rained a little, moving into the bar area was another experience in itself. We can't thank em enough for giving us such a memorable experience!“

“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!“

“Un lugar familiar buena y deliciosa comidas esmerado servicio.“

“Great food and very friendly staff. Looking forward to going back.“

“Food and service was amazing! French onion soup and calamari to start. We both had the hanger steak which blew my mind. Cooked perfectly. Dessert was creme brulee and panna cotta both were amazing. Much more affordable and humble than anything in carmel by the sea and equally good if not better. Will definitely return for dinner again.“

“We had a wonderful experience dining at The Covey. We sat at a window table with a view of their water feature. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. My husband ordered the Branzino and I had the Chicken Saltimbocca. Both dishes were excellent! Not only were the proteins cooked to perfection but the vegetables and farro that accompanied them were also very good. We look forward to dining here again.“

“Ok. Segovia’s is the kind of place that’s getting harder and harder to find.

I moved back to the area from Boston thinking this kind of place didn’t exist. It’s a real neighborhood bar, and it’s been one for a long time.

People know each other. Somebody’s always got a crazy story going, somebody else just got off work at the same place you just had dinner, and you’ll see them unwinding at the end of the bar, and if you’re new nobody makes it weird, you just end up part of the conversation.

Kat and Ali run the bar and they’re honestly some of the best around. Not just fast and good at making drinks. It’s how they treat people. They listen, they’re straight with you, they keep an eye on the room so nobody gets overserved or left out or taken advantage of. That kind of integrity behind a bar is rare and they make it look easy.

Brandon Segovia deserves credit for that. The place has been in his family for generations, and you can tell he takes that seriously. There are regulars who met here and are now close friends, some of them for years. That doesn’t happen by accident.

Lots of bars around here. From Ocean to Fremont. Very few that have been around this long and still actually mean something to the people who go to them. Segovia’s is one of them, and it’s worth your time. If you’re in the area, don’t miss it.“

“Great food ,I had the 10oz sirloin surf and turf and added a bowl of enchilada soup which was delicious. The only complaint I have is that they charge 9 dollars for a super duper small bowl which it should be a full size bowl for that price“

“Gluten free eaters join together and keep this business successful. Excellent GF options with creamy clam chowder, fried artichoke, crab cakes and fried calamari to start the meal and delicious. What a great find. We ate outside with the warmth of the heat lamps, perfect, along with a place where our dog was welcome. We are definitely headed here on our next trip through“
