They don't take reservations, but there was no wait when we arrived at dinner time on New Year's Eve. There were lots of indoor and outdoor seating options to choose from, including booths, high tables, and seats at the bar. In winter, it felt even hotter in the partially covered patio than inside, with fire pits at some tables and heaters up above. So we decided on sitting outside. There was also live music happening in the back room on this holiday evening, which was cool to check out. The art and decor in the restaurant was quirky and added character to the place. What's more, the staff was friendly and helpful and provided outstanding service throughout the evening. We got the cockney chicken pie, blackened rock cod, cup of clam chowder, and to drink, a lemon drop cocktail and big sur golden (draught beer). The only thing salty was the lemon drop, as they put salt on the rim instead of sugar. But it was still tasty and made well otherwise. The food was delicious, full of flavor without all the sodium. I especially enjoyed the creamy and savory chicken pie with a flaky crust on top and lightly seasoned veggies. The clam chowder was quite good too. It tasted fresh and was very satisfying. As it turns out, our final meal of 2025 was a good one! read more

They're known for their fish and chips, and I can see why. The fish was delicious, not overly battered, but still crispy. I always love when a battered fish actually tastes like fish instead of greasy batter. The outdoor seating is fun because it has a beautiful view of the bay and includes fire pits at the tables. Curry fries were really good, actually tasted the curry. Service was good, both servers provided for our needs. The one downside is that you have to pay for parking and they don't validate parking, even when the parking is literally right outside their front door. read more

Honestly loved it! The place doesn't look like much from the outside but I love the decor and feel of an English pub. We had beers the bar and then decided to just stay for dinner and were seated outdoors. We ordered the calamari and the fresh salmon. I was surprised at the quality! And I kept seeing people order the Fish & Chips and that looked great too! Our server was the loveliest. read more

London Bridge Pub - Calamari and Fresh Salmon - British Near Me - Monterey, California

Very mediocre. I've had better chowder. The flat soda was $5 each. Table top was wobbly. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Good service here, it's comfortable and the vibe is very chill. The fish and chips dish was good, the fish was a little overcook and the fries were a little undercooked but it tasted great and the sauce was delicious and not overbearing but balanced out the meal (which is excellent). The water tasted great (even with ice) as did the corned beef hash -- this was very good. The coleslaw is a bit sweet but overall it doesn't weigh you down and you can still have a brew without overdoing it on the stomach. There is live music sometimes adding an artistic atmosphere and I enjoy looking at the decorative walls and shelves. Definitely a place worth checking out for a cozy dinner with the fam or a group. read more

The London bridge pub is like taking a trip to London without leaving Monterey. The place is decorated with all things British. It is very fun! The location right next to the boat docks at the harbor is amazing as well. On a beautiful day, it's hard to imagine a better spot to eat lunch or grab a drink and just watch the world go by. We all ordered bangers and mash for lunch when we were there. We all enjoyed them quite a bit and will definitely return to eat again another day and enjoy the beautiful view and very cute pub! read more

A short walk from the pier, this restaurant is exactly what you want a restaurant by the ocean to look like. Wooden captain statues, ship steering wheels, rope and everything else to set sail. We only had interaction with on of the staff, she seated us and took our order. Very nice and did well for being busy. I had the fish and chips, menu said "award winning" It was good, came with steak cut fries. Daughter had clam chowder in the bread bowl. I had a spoon full and the flavor was really good. She eat all the soup! Wife had BLAT bacon lettuce avocado tomato sandwich. No clue if it was good, she took that thing down fast. Great view of all the boats in the harbor, sea lions talking in back ground. We sat on patio and they have heaters and fire pits to stay warm. They did a great job blocking the wind. Defiantly a good spot when in town. read more

I rarely get over here and it is a slice of heaven for a good fish & chips. The portion was large and hearty. I need remember that this is a great spot to drop in and grab a quick bite instead of hanging around downtown Monterey. I was promptly seated near a window to watch the tourists and boats. The server recommended several dishes, though I settled on the iconic fish & chips plate. It came with a large deep fried cod that was perfectly fried and opened up to tender fish. The fries helped in quashing the black and tan beer (Guiness and Bass Ale). The cole slaw was refreshing and hit the spot. The have a large dining room and a small patio outside. Come check out the drink & food specials. read more

London Bridge Pub - Fish & Chips with a side of slaw - British Near Me - Monterey, California

The waiter Stevie, was not friendly however dismissive. We ordered clam chowder (warm at best and watery) , fish and chips (too much batter and greasy) chicken pot pie (dough was too tough to cut) , the wedge salad (fake bacon) salmon dinner which was the best of all but frozen veges) drinks, which were weak and unflavored. The ambience was ok but the vibe wasn't very professional overall. When both clam chowders were removed from the table with two bowls r three hits taken, the waiter made no attempt to ask why or replace but took them away quickly. The bartender did try and remedy the drink issue (hot toddy) but still wasn't good. It was highly disappointing when we made a special effort to eat on the wharf on a png road trip. read more

Having lived in England, we come to London Bridge Pub when ever we crave fish and chips! The fish and chips are just like we remember getting in England, excellent. We also love their banger and mash with fresh perfectly sautéed veggies. Highly recommend and nice views if sit in heated patio area overlooking Monterey harbor! read more

We rode our bikes here and ate outside, it was a brilliant view along the harbor and the food was priced fairly for the location. No complaints, we had a great lunch here. Fish and chips was as yummy as the waiter said it would be. read more

London Bridge Pub - Fish and chips - British Near Me - Monterey, California

I went here when I was in Monterey for a group dinner. I did think the place was very amenable to having a large group and letting us move tables around and do separate checks. The service seemed a little harried with the large number of people who were ordering food. Also the food came out pretty quickly. The food itself was pretty average to mediocre. I was a bit dismayed how quickly my fish and chips came out because it made me think it was made ahead of time and not to order. The taste was pretty good but definitely nothing to write home about. I do think if I had been drinking alcohol I might have enjoyed it more - kind of my usual thought of bar/restaurants that the food is made to encourage you to drink more! My mom said the bean burger was just okay. The portions are pretty large. It's probably an indicator that the parking lot nearby was full and I saw people waiting to get into the upstairs restaurant, but this spot was relatively empty! read more

The decor was fun and eclectic. However, the fish and chips had too much breading. The pot pie was not a pie at all - puff pastry over a bowl of chic stew. Really wanted to like this place, but the food was greasy and disappointing. We were the only customers there and the waitress didn't even check back in with us after delivering our food. We had to go find her to pay for the food so we could leave. read more

Amazing service and very friendly folks! It's not just a pub but a family friendly restaurant too. The ambiance is very English... rather British!

This review is for happy hour only. This place isn't legit if you want to get some drinks going. We had three drinks, two Cape cods and a white wine and it was $19. Sit on the patio. They have the nice fire pits working. The server was super nice. We did not eat but it's standard British pub fare! Go get you some and great views of the harbor! read more

London Bridge Pub - What a fun location! - British Near Me - Monterey, California

A huge shout out to our server Madison. On this lovely afternoon in Monterey with my mom and twin sister she made our dining experience so lovely. Friendly and just the right amount of talkative for us. My mom and sister and I were long overdue for a visit so we were a bit rambunctious and happy to be together! Prices were high of course but this is Monterey and well we all know the world is crazy right now. Between the three of us it was perfect to share two entrees. Plenty of food for the three of us. The wedge salad is a fun simple salad to order out. Crisp iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing, blue cheese crumbles and of course bacon. Adding a few dices of fresh tomatoes and it was perfect. I did not try the chowder but Mom and Twin said it was good. The fish was the star. A large piece of white fish, we think cod, and a not to thick batter. Hot and crispy. French fries cooked perfectly too. We all agreed that the coleslaw was probably not made in house but it was a good side of coolness sided with the hot fish and fries. Large parking lot here. Enjoy life and eat good food. SYOY! read more

Food was good, I brought pictures. It was hot, and crispy, nourishing. Fish fry had tempura crunch taste was hard to put down and share. Fish fry you might need to let rest. Before serving, it. Mine broke apart a lot. Very greasy. Service was slow, I like request is next time r cups bigger next time? 11oz cups don't do it for ppl who drink a lot. 19 oz cups might be better. Sunlight bright, inside and outside, would have been cooler for some of us. hallway to bathroom is well decorated, and clean. I should brought my phone with me to take pictures. The soap dispenser was empty, though. You might need to check in on that daily. Shio might like this place. read more

I came in loving the location with the nice view of the doc. The service was pretty good and the ambiance is just like a Pub should be. The food was what I looked forward to however, the popular items I got were very bland with the lightest seasoning I've ever had here in town. Even the BLT my family members had were very dry and had no mayo. The mashed potatoes were a good texture but had no seasoning. The gravy was okay but I definitely expected more flavor. The steamed veggies were not cooked enough and were also very bland. We happened to come in on trivia night, so hearing the the loud speaker constantly calling out trivia questions was a bit annoying but, that was not a deal breaker for me. Another thing I didn't really appreciate was that they don't give military discount and this restaurant is within earshot of the base. I probably won't come back unless it's for a beer and french fries because those were the best items we had during this visit. read more

Ambience is very good, especially right on the water next to the boat docs, service was great, we got the fish and chips and they were legit but for $25 I think there could've been more fish. I was hungry so I felt like I ate the fish in about four bites, but it was fresh and the batter was nice and crispy. Overall, I would recommend but I do think they could add about 50% more fish for a $25 fish and chips plate but it's pretty cool that it comes with some coleslaw and the fries were good. Understandably it's in Monterey, which is a touristy area so things are expensive. read more

Let me start that our server Jenna was on point. Attentive, checked in and made sure my wife and I were well taken care of. 5 stars worthy. Now for the food. Read everywhere how the fish and chips as votes best in the county for years, in my wife's and I opinion, time to find new voters. Fish was bland and under seasoned. Can only give 3 three stars for that. So 4 stars overall. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would! The service was the absolute worst and I regret not walking out! Walking in the whole vibe of the place was uncomfortable and not welcoming at all. Our server barely spoke to us and greeted us by saying "drinks?" And nothing else and walked away silently after we ordered and didn't say anything else the entire time. The food was decent but not worth it if you have to receive that kinda service! Fish and chips were average tasting the only good thing about this place is the portion size. Chowder was decent not bad not the best ever but again good portion size‍ read more

As part time locals, we know where we can/should go to eat...London Pub is one of those places we frequent. Great staff and the food has always been awesome as well. We usually vacillate btw the fresh salmon, the rock cod, and the fish and chips. The coleslaw is perfect with the fish and chips and we usually order an extra side of the slaw. You can't go wrong at the LBP! read more

Last couple visits--beer was good. Pastie was pretty good. Music was good once, not so good the other time. (I don't think they have live music any more.) Fish & chips was good. Cottage pie was terrible (I would have sent it back, but my dining partner had already eaten half of it.) It was basically a big bowl of mashed potatoes, with the thinnest layer of beef and veggies you could imagine. read more

I have lived on the Monterey Peninsula since 1963. Why have I never eaten here before?! I met with John, the owner, to see his venue for a Celebration of Life for my brother. He was so professional and kind. My jaw dropped at how HUGE this restaurant is! Having been to the UK many times, it feels authentic and charming. My family arrived early, so we could eat dinner before people would arrive for our event. My son and I ordered the Fish & Chips. Wow! The cod was a generous large piece. The breading was super crunchy, and not the least bit soggy. I'm picky about cole slaw, and this one was delicious. As an added bonus, I prefer cocktail sauce over tartar sauce. Yes, they have it! As far as our event, the staff was incredibly kind and so helpful. The finger foods were delivered on time, nice and hot. Staff kept checking on our guests, delivering drink orders and additional food. We will definitely come back here again and again. The view of the wharf is stunning. I can't wait for a warm spring or summer day, to sit outside by the fire. A glass of beer, fish and chips-- wonderful! They've won Best Fish and Chips many years in a row, and I they deserve it. read more

London Bridge Pub - Crispy Fish & Chips. Delicious! - British Near Me - Monterey, California

Friday, 11/10/2023 - Snacked at London Bridge Pub. Address is 256 Figueroa St #2, Monterey, CA 93940. Right at the warf. It's paid parking. Like $1.50 per hour. We went for drink happy hour and warm, enticing fire place. Upon arrival... Pros: 1) staff was very nice. We got seated right away. 2) server is so sweet and nice. She took our drink orders and food orders. She had so much patience with us. 3) foods were okay. Clam chowder was ok. 4) they have a bar, seating inside and seating outside. Cons: 1) none. Conclusion: Cute little pub. Nice to hang out and drink at the warf. Staffs were nice. The fire place on top of the table was pretty nice. They use the empty 6 pack beer bottle box as a ketchup/mustard holder. Creative to reuse things. I liked that. I like this little pub. read more

Food was nothing special, the service was utterly lacking- holy wow, my party had the WORST waitress.

Don't recommend visiting to be honest. read more

This was a joke. There is no way they have been voted best fish and chips. The fish was fair at best and the "chips" were frozen fries. There was no seasoning whatsoever. And it sure isn't worth $24.00. I have had better fish and fries at a LJS. Service was good and the ambiance looked dated. No need to ever go back. read more

We are local and hadn't been her for some time. Needless to say I remember why now. We only have outside dining now, we were seated at a bar top table where the concrete was slanted! Need I say more, well I will. The food was sub par not even mediocre for the price. I had fish and chips and it not what you would expect to get at the wharf in Monterey CA. So I guess wouldn't recommend going here. read more

Kudos for the great service and good food! I was a waitress for decades and have compassion for waitstaff when they have a large group...yet also can be a tough critic. The person in whose section we were seated did an outstanding job when I was there recently on a Friday night in the back room. He was attentive, accurate, organized, and all the food came out at the right temperature. (Really important in my book.) It should go without saying that the food is tasting and consistent as always. Thanks, London Bridge Pub, for being a place that can be counted on year in and year out. read more

Atmosphere is fantastic. Food is average. But Strongbow cider on tap is excellent. Overall a decent spot to meet up. Loved the decor and the patio seating which was perfect. The menu looks good, but when we ordered... food was bland. Maybe they are trying to stay authentic British and skip the salt/seasoning? Clam chowder was mediocre. Fish and chips cooked perfectly but no seasoning. No salt on the fries either. Just...everything was completely bland. BUT!!...you can add salt and the food was 100% perfectly cooked. I'd say I'm confidant ill come back just for the ambiance. Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5 Cleanliness: 4 Value: 2 Quality: 3 read more
