30 Best Cocktail Bars near Carmel

“Our meal was amazing and perfectly prepared. Rebekah our server provided excellent service and great knowledge of the menu. Josh's knowledge of wine and wine paring is second to none. I would highly recommend Lone Pine for any occasion and especially for memorable moments.“

“I came in not really knowing what I wanted to drink tonight, and Josh was able to make something that was to my exact taste. He was very quick and extremely helpful. The broken barrel is always a very comfortable and great place to relax at the end of the day. 10/10 will always recommend to anyone.“

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

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

“Wonderful lunch and waiter Rick. Thank you“

“One of our favorite breakfast spots. Delicious omelets (I usually go for the "Omelet of the Month") and sourdough toast. If you're splurging on the diet, go for the cinnamon sugar sourdough toast... amazing!

Great for coffee lovers too. Occasionally, they have a Highland Grogg (if I'm remembering the name properly) that is *chef's kiss*

Try any of their locations!“

“My wife and I started our day with latin jazz brunch at Feinsteins at Hotel Carmichael. The latin jazz was great. It did not feel like it was Sunday. Felt like it was Friday or Saturday night. Music was great. My food the shrimp and grits lacked the flavor. My pallet craved a little extra salt.“

“Good quality food. Nice bar.“

“It was great food & a memorable evening. Olivia is a great server & she invented a nice pineapple 🍍 mocktail for us. The yuzu ravioli was outstanding & we’ll be back for it again. The duck 🦆 confit is not what we were expecting based on experience elsewhere & it didn’t work for us. The ravioli on the other hand, is Highly recommend. The chocolate dessert is a great finish. Also the bread 🥖 should not be missed ✅

Parking: $10 valet with restaurant - no ticket receipt - you’ll get a text ✅“

“We love 4 finger ! Their cocktails and staff are top notch!“

“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.“

“Outstanding in every way!“

“This my regular place. I attend the bar at the very least 3-4 nights out of the week. The staff is amazing and approachable. The food is amazing. Not just the staff, but the patrons are great also! Everyone says hello and will make you feel right at home. 100/10“

“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.“

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

“Who’s! Pretzels, pork tenderloin, drinks, pool table, dart board, TV’s. So fire. Place is very clean and friendly. Shout out the owner for buying the wife and I a round. Shout out Elliot for the service. Seriously, fire. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Such an adorable quaint cocktail bar! We came from out of town and the bartender gave us lots of good recommendations for this trip & beyond. She was awesome and continued to chat with us while she was closing up. Great drinks, great vibes, would totally go again!“

“In from out of town from Michigan and our bartenders both nights we showed up here to drink and hang out, Nakaya and Haley were awesome! Melanie the manager was awesome too and gave great recommendations on drinks. Loved the old fashion with the peanut butter whiskey it was my favorite drink. Thank you ladies for a wonderful and fun experience! Will be back again.“

“Zach was cool and attentive!“

“Wonderful food and even better service service“

“Zoey was a great server. She was there when we needed her and had great suggestions. But she wasn’t hovering over us. The food and drinks were great. I even ordered an old fashioned smoker after having the old fashion they have on the menu.
I know the owners are going for a different vibe but they need at least 2 TVs (55-65”) in the corners of the bar for sports and a 55” below the existing tv’s in the bar.
It’s a hotel bar.“

“comida muy rica y un muy buen ambiente.“

“First time visiting, it did not disappoint. It was a little difficult to find but we did. The inside is decorated very pretty. We sat at the bar. The bartenders were very attentive and friendly. I had two drinks both were awesome. The first was the Hot Tin Tini the second a pineapple mojito. I ordered the blackened Mahi Mahi. It was fantastic. Highly recommend and we will be back!“
