28 Best Cocktail Bars near Carmel

“Had girls night on a Friday night. It was slower than normal but Peggy took excellent care of myself and two friends. She had an awesome attitude the second we walked into the door. She made us feel right at home and automatically started helping make suggestions. Cocktails, local bourbon flights and good food. What else could we ask for? Low-light setting makes it feel like a relaxed speak easy. It was a great time and I would highly encourage anyone to go and say hi to Peggy, she'll treat ya right!“

“Love Monterey in Carmel! Beautiful restaurant, great service, and even better food!“

“Great food and great service! 5/5 would highly recommend“

“Can’t say enough about how good the cooking is at this restaurant! I really enjoyed the Shrimp and Grits risotto! And the Pork special was absolutely wonderful. It came with collard greens and a southern style gravy that I don’t know could be so good! Don’t forget to try their wedge salad. It’s a winner. Overall I’m super happy to have this restaurant in Carmel.“

“I have been to this location a few times and the food has been great every time. The service is a little hit or miss depending on the day. It gets really busy on Sunday’s, but if you beat the church rush it’s normally fine! The omelets and mimosas are favorites!“

“We recently attended the ESQUE Burlesque Holiday Edition show at Feinstein’s, and what an incredible experience it was! The venue itself is quaint, gorgeous, and inviting, the perfect setting for an intimate performance. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home.
The show was absolutely outstanding, with talented performers, captivating energy, and such a fun, festive vibe throughout the entire event. The cocktails were fantastic as well, beautifully made and perfectly fitting the event’s flair. A special shoutout to Ben, the manager, who stopped by our table a few times to check in and make sure everything was perfect. Such a thoughtful touch that did not go unnoticed.
If there’s one area that fell short, it was the food. This was a brunch event, and unfortunately, the dishes were quite bland. With a bit more attention to flavor and seasoning, the kitchen could really elevate the experience to match the excellence of the rest of the venue.
Despite that one drawback, we absolutely loved our time at Feinstein’s and will definitely be returning soon. It’s a truly special place and we can’t wait to come back for another unforgettable show!“

“Wonderful lunch and waiter Rick. Thank you“

“Good quality food. Nice bar.“

“Our first dining experience here and certainly won't be our last. Food... outstanding! Service... sat at the bar and the bartender was wonderful. Wish I could recall her name but she was so fun, energetic and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful dinner prior to our concert next door.“

“My wife and I came here for the first time tonight and it is absolutely amazing and well worth every penny. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Very intimate setting. And the food is absolutely amazing!“

“I just love Byrne's Pizza's crust. So thin and SO good. Atmosphere was awesome too. I was able to have a nice quiet conversation and really relax and unwind from a busy week. Service was good and price is right. Very reasonable priced.“

“Great location, great drinks, great atmosphere. Highly recommend! We will be back!“

“Our server Hannah was super! The food was of the same quality -maybe even better than the original downtown location on a busy night! Calming, peaceful, high end space for both casual and formal dinning. Excellent Happy Hour Menu also!“

“The owners are so nice and the food is the best anywhere around!!“

“Outstanding service. Phenomenal food! From the bread/appetizers to the meal and tiramisu dessert 👌🏻 We were absolutely amazed by with every bite. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Initially they seated us at a table tucked away in a corner. Terrible location. My view was Aldi’s dumpster. Then we found that the staff use the door for their smoke breaks. Constant traffic. We were a bit chilly so we asked to move to a different table. They accommodated us but then we had to change servers. We felt bad for our first server.“

“This place is an awesome dining experience and is on our regular rotation. Lots of windows and seating with outdoor views. The sushi is top grade and fabulous roll options. Drinks are great as well. But the service always stands out with awesome servers like Jake. See you again soon!!!“

“Do you want fine dining quality at reasonable prices? Look no further than The Piper.

I've driven by here for awhile and we decided to check it out last week. In that time, we've now been 3 times and love it more each time.

The mac & cheese is from another planet it is so good. My wife greatly prefers it plain whereas I like the chicken. She even said it's better than a high end restaurant I love in Cincinnati which she knows is a bold statement with me.

The wings and pretzel breadsticks are delicious along with the asian style ribs.“

“Really love this place and happy to have it in Broad Ripple. It’s a bit pricey + the service is slow on the weekends because they only have one person working the floor (at least the 2 times I’ve been there). Will definitely keep supporting because they have great cocktails, atmosphere, and BR needs this type of bar. Plus….cocktails and coffee in one spot is always a win.“

“I love all the lunch salads and dinner options for everyone! Have not had a bad meal! There are Al many options!“

“Had dinner on Monday for a private event. I’m still thinking about it days later. Best meal I’ve had in a while. The brisket was cooked so uniquely I’ve never had anything like it. 15/10. Service was excellent.“

“Such a pleasant and attractive atmosphere. Food is good but most of all your server “Grace “does such a great job. Thank you“

“Great food and large portions. If you leave hungry, it’s your fault. 😀“

“Zach was cool and attentive!“

“Todo de este lugar es bueno, y los servicios son excelentes!! La comida de aquí nunca falla, uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer.“

“My wife's and my daughter-in-law requested the Blue Sushi Sake Grill, when we asked her where she would like us to take her - with our son, granddaughter, and grandson - to celebrate her birthday last week, and our family enjoyed the experience thoroughly. When we arrived, we received a very friendly greeting from the hostess. Our food and drinks were delicious, well prepared, and attractively presented. My wife had asked, when she made our reservation, that a dessert with a candle be brought to our daughter-in-law to conclude our meal, and the restaurant not only did so, they kindly covered the cost of the treat. We appreciated most of all the outstanding service provided to us by Jannelyn, our server, who was cheerful, helpful, and attentive even though the restaurant was extremely busy and she was responsible for a number of tables, in addition to ours. Thank you!“

“The atmosphere is fun, the food is delicious, and the cocktails are always spot on and hit the spot every time. Beyond the great food and drinks, the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. We especially want to give a massive shout-out to both Calvin and Mark, who always take such wonderful care of our family. They are huge assets and a big part of why we love coming here. If you're looking for good food, great cocktails, and service that makes you feel like a regular, this is the place! Highly recommended.“
