19 Best Bars near Pebble Beach

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

“What a place!We ordered Polpo alla griglia and Burrata con piselli for our appetizers. The octopus was cooked perfectly with the right balance of flavors, and the burrata was light and well-balanced with asparagus.For our main course, we had Linguine con aragosta and Rigatoni alla buttera. The pasta and meats were cooked and seasoned just right!The craft cocktails were unique and delicious, and the perfect balance of flavors.Thanks to Andres and Christian for their drink and food recommendations, as well as their excellent customer service!They tend to get busy quickly after opening, so it would be best to make a reservation!“

“This was a lovely place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon! There were two pages of beer options, and michiladas! The servers and other patrons were friendly. I love that you can order by the half or taster glass as well. They had a couple of prize winning beers on the menu that were great for IPA lovers.We stayed for dinner, getting nachos and tacos from the taco truck on site.We sat outside on the patio, soaking in the sunshine. When it got chillier as the sun set, they turned on the heat lamps. Eventually we moved inside, with comfy couches and tables to avoid the wind as we finished our food and beer. It’s great to have a place with so much seating and drinking choice!“

“Had a lovely breakfast in the restaurant in the morning and then went to the bar later that day for drinks. We asked for a tequila old fashioned cocktail and the lovely bar man Luis made us one of his own creations. He called it a Mexican old fashioned and it was honestly the best cocktail we have ever tasted. Luis is a very skilled mixologist and hopefully his Mexican old fashioned will become a regular drink at the C bar.“

“Alvarado is a great place for drinks and dinner. The food is always great and I’ve been told the beer is good (but I don’t think beer). However, the cocktails are great too! The place definitely gets crowded really quick so prepare for a wait if you wanted a table or else I recommend just eating at the tabletops.“

“It is an oyster bar. Small like almost all places in Carmel. The prices are very reasonable for any oyster bar. But they have an extensive alcohol menu and the prices are not outrageous.We are from the East Coast and like a variety of West Coast oysters, meatier and delicious. Hog Island were the best we had.Unique drinks, and a bartender who cares. Appreciate the attention to detail from a bartender.Wait staff is hustling because it’s busy.I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone coming to Carmel.If they are listening: put a seafood tower on the menu. I ordered all on one and would appreciate it on the menu.“

“Great atmosphere. The food and drinks are great and reasonably priced. Great service. Interesting military heritage and history in the Hotel del Monte. A must visit in Monterey on the Naval Postgraduate School campus (must have base access).“

“Disappointing americanized italian food for this price point, consistently not well prepared or seasoned although ingredients were good. Service was good and laid back, and rooftop was nice. We had soup, pizza, pasta, salads, sides, and desserts and they were underwhelming. Pizza dough was good and fluffy but lacked salt.“

“This is my first time visiting Seaside and I stopped by this place due to the positive reviews. Ordered to go enchiladas plate, birria tacos including consume which they had a special Thursday deal for, and the super burrito. I was totally amazed by how fresh the food was even though it was for take out. The birria tacos were crispy on the outside but the birria meat was moist on the inside packed with meat. The enchiladas were packed with chicken which shows they are not stingy with their meat. Also, the food came out fairly quick rather than having us wait a while. There are a lot of seats and tables provided. Will definitely stop by again when I come back to seaside. This place is a must if you're craving mexican food.“

“I have been here 3 times, I work nearby and love that I can make an order and its ready by the time I arrive. The first experience was hands down the best and deserves 5 stars! The server was a woman, very helpful and friendly, she had everything packed perfectly in the bag and the food was phenomenal, I ordered the chicken pesto panini. I decided to order again the next day as it was so perfect the first time, this experience was nothing like the day before, I was handed a box and sent off, no napkins, utensils, not even a bag to carry it out, and the sandwich was nothing like the one from the day before, disappointing!I decided to give it one more shot because I wanted to share the sandwich that I at this point was pretty obsessed with with a coworker and because I could get lunch fairly quickly. Third time definitely way better than the 2nd, almost as amazing as the first, I don't know if they had a different cook or what the issue was, but overall for all 3 trips I think I will definitely return, hopefully I will be lucky and get the friendly woman server because she is amazing! The person answering the phone is also pleasant.“

“After learning Le Bicylette had a 1.5 hour wait on a Sunday, we peeked down the little alley way and allowed ourselves to be enticed to select an outdoor table for a delicious pizza lunch. Started with the Cesar salad (extra anchovies!) followed by the Pepe Board. The four of us then split two pizzas, the San Vito and the Diavola. Took home the last 3 slices for lunch the next day. Charming patio! Definitely worth a return.“

“We ate on the deck overlooking the pond; quiet and peaceful. Our server was very personable and attentive. The cocktails were great. But the food was just OK. Specifically, the Caesar was over-dressed, the tomato soup was oily, and there was WAY too much sauce on my wife's salmon and grains. On the plus side, her entree was well-cooked, just way too "goopy" (her term). And the grilled cheese starter was terrific. We'll be back, but we'll be more specific about sauces and the like. But it was a nice meal in a nice setting, and the potential is there for it to be very, very good.“

“The choice fell on this place because it's open all day and serves steak. The reviews of restaurant are very good, with a magnificent view of the ocean, and the service is above average - a good balance with mediocre food. It's worth trying once, but I'm unlikely to return. There are much tastier restaurants in Monterey.“

“A too rare case of what a true, nearly extinct classic neighborhood dive bar should be. Ages 21 to 70+ in equal numbers. Full crowd most evenings but I most always found a barstool. Tonight a live duo backing up piped in karaoke. Dogs allowed. The last old school bar left in the Monterey area unfortunately, that I am aware of.“

“4/10/24 It's been a while, but back ordered the Salmon $27 dinner with mashed potato and veggies. The Salmon cooked perfectly, tender and moist. All ingredients are well balanced, not too heavy of garlic, I don't want to scare off my vampire friends, lol.The atmosphere is nostalgic of the old pubs.The Service is very good, I have been coming here now off and on for two years. It's been consistent most of the time.“

“Robata has gone through many iterations in the past 40 years- from excellent when owned by the Fukumotos to less so and now has been in a bit of a resurgence with the new owners. I enjoyed going back there , the food was very good, the wine list acceptable , sake ( of course). Nice place for a quiet Japanese style dinner.“

“Where to start? The owner greeted us with open arms and even fed us! Vibes were vibing and the time was flying. Bartenders George and Dj had excellent service, place was packed and they were still quick and friendly. Got out of there much later than expected! We love the compact disco.“

“The place is always bustling with activity, but the bartenders and servers always stay on track with great customer service, drink recommendations, and good attitudes! Recently, one of their bartenders Sharen won a local cocktail challenge too! They are always coming up with new and innovative cocktails!“

“Been here multiple times now and love it everytime. The parker house rolls and calarmari are a must and the food is consistently delicious. The space is beautiful (our favorite seats are tucked next to the fireplace). The bread pudding = the best night cap!“
