11 Best Cocktail Bars in Carmel

“What a perfect evening at 1933 Lounge in Carmel for our anniversary! Vanessa was our server and an absolute delight! Professional but very friendly and personable. Extremely attentive! The tuna poke on the seafood tower was INCREDIBLE! It brought us back to our honeymoon in Hawaii :) It was so good we asked for another side of just that. Should be it's own appetizer ❤️ The artichokes were SO good! Sad to hear it's coming off the menu. The Heirloom tomato and buratta salad was out of this world - truly next level dish. Originally from New England I appreciated the lobster bisque so much. I'd put it up against a New England lobster bisque any time - multiple actual chunks of lobster 🤤 And the bourbon and butter dessert was in a class by itself - it was rich but light at the same time... different textures, salty and sweet, cold and warm - just an excellent dessert - Vanessa knew what she was doing in recommending it! I wish I had gotten more pictures- we just started digging in as dishes arrived! My only criticism I can offer were the oysters were very gritty :( Couldn't eat them all and the seafood tower was so esthetically pleasing but the lobster tail was just unceremoniously placed on the ice lol Tasty! Just not placed in an elegant way like the rest. Would highly recommend - we're definitely returning (and asking for Vanessa 💗)“

“My husband and I came in on a Friday night for drinks and loved the atmosphere so much we came back the next night for dinner too. Quiet music, intimate setting, elevated and romantic restuarant while I also being very laid back. Prices were very reasonable, food was absolutely delicious we ordered apps, main course and desserts, all fabulous! We will definitely be back next time we are in town.“

“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.“

“We always e joy our food at Cafe Patachou. We do not typically go to this location so it was a nice change if pace.

Our server was very friendly and seemed to know everyone. She was so friendly that she spent too much time talking to other tables and did not notice we had been seated.

I was disappointed because we were there at 1:00 on a Friday and they did not have the tomato soup available. They only had one soup available amd it is not one that I like. They were not getting ready to close so I do not understand why they did not have a popular soup available.

It was not very busy so I was not very loud. We had a nice co c
Versatile amd could hear each other nicely.“

“We went to the Feinstein Dinner Theater inside the Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, IN. Specifically the Frank Sinatra show, which was phenomenal!. We each had a wedge salad & we also shared a charcuterie board which was unique. It had quite a variety of cheeses, sausages, pickles, crackers, mustard sauce, olives, strawberries, figs, ham, a smaller, square sized honey comb, really crispy bread, & a few other things. The show was fantastic!“

“We were hungry and it was a long day so we stopped here because it was easy. I was shocked. The food was delicious we had burgers and a ribeye sandwich. I have zero complaints. Quality beef. Flavorful. And for the price it was even more amazing. We will come back for sure. It’s also a great grocery store if you haven’t been.“

“Wonderful lunch and waiter Rick. Thank you“

“Good quality food. Nice bar.“

“We had a delightful time at Vivante. The cocktails, service, and entrees were all superb. Lisa was an amazing server and would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I had the puttanesca, Caesar salad, and the Revival No. 2 cocktail. Highly recommend all three and am eager to go back and explore the menu further.“
