Alvarado Street Brewery is a great place to grab, not only a good drink, but amazing food! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu, and they have an excellent kids menu, as well. My daughter recommends the kids pizza! Out in the beer garden, you can also order food, which is a nice atmosphere. This brewery may be new to the scene in Monterey, but it is by far the best brewery in the area. The food is top notch and the ever-impressive beer selection is always changing. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the area to grab a beer, have a bite to eat, and chat with a friend.

This is a fantastic place to grab lunch while out shopping or a cocktail and quick bite before a movie across the street. The salads are huge, yummy, and come with the tastiest cheese bread. The kids menu is affordable and has a really great selection! Bottomless mimosas on the weekends for brunch!

In-N-Out should be a stop for anyone visiting California for the first time! The ingredients are fresh, the food is delicious, and there's even a "secret" menu online, where you can find out how to customize your burgers, fries, and shakes! Classic, simple, and tasty food right around the corner from my home.

The best place to pick up adult beverages in our area. There is a great variety of everything from beer and wine to liquor and mixers. The prices are always decent and far better than a local liquor store.

Arts & Culture

Steven Whyte is a good friend of mine and a very talented sculptor. He has done many noteworthy pieces around the Monterey Bay, including the famous Cannery Row Monument! His sweet bulldog, Lord Wellington, is worth the trip alone.

Drinks & Nightlife

A hole-in-the wall dive bar in Carmel, that serves spectacular food and cocktails. It is pricey, but the live music scene and intimate atmosphere makes this place a must-visit in my book.

Post No Bills is so unique! It is a craft brew house, hidden away in Sand City that has the best selection of beers on tap and in the coolers. It is definitely worth a visit if you are a fan of beer (they also offer a variety of hard ciders). Post No Bills also offers flights of beer, which is a good way to try a variety of the beers they have.
