My wife and I have been here twice (2023, 2025). Both times can't get an old fashioned. Manhattan sure, but it's got a street sign right out front saying "cocktails." It's a tourist trap and a dive bar. Fine for a quick beer and shot. They have George T. Stagg and several high end whiskies on the bar, but you're going To pay Carmel prices for it. *Amending review from 3 stars to 1 star. Owner has resorted to name calling on Google Reviews. Will absolutely not return to this "cocktail" bar.

Since posting my previous review, I continue to be harassed by the owner and maybe his alter ego "Daniel L" who - for some reason - sent me a direct message 18 days ago. It's possible Daniel is a real person and just an affiliate of the owner. One of the other bartenders maybe? Judging by their typos, perhaps an inebriated patron? The point is, I have no idea who this person is, yet they're messaging me here and saying that they would have thrown me out of the bar. Talk about pent up anger! It's too bad that I didn't reopen the app sooner so I could update my all-too-generous two star review down to one star. I guess it needs to be done within 30 days. So here's an update to the saga of Parker and friends; I've never thought "wish there were a rating less than 1" before but cheers to you for dropping the bar SO low that this option would truly be needed. Don't worry Daniel, whoever you are, I won't be coming back as a customer to your bar. Please seek help for your anger issues.

We're from Canada--we walked into Sades for the hockey game and left feeling like we'd lived through a documentary on human behavior. First off, Parker the bartender? Absolute legend. Pouring drinks in a Trump hat like he's tending bar on Judgment Day. Respect. Playlist was a banger. Drinks? Dangerous. Then the floor show started: * Guy collapsed like he got sniped, pissed himself like it was his final act of defiance. * Minutes later, someone walked in, clocked Parker's hat, signed the door like it was the Declaration of Independence, said "No Trump," and stormed out like they just saved democracy. We just sat there like, "Is this immersive theater?" 10/10 - Would risk our lives here again.

Small dice bar. Bartender not super friendly - he catered to the regulars. Cash only and only canned beers.

Shitty service and weirdo workers. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I love a dive bar but this one's not it.

*I drive hundreds of miles to go here* (You should too) Parker, the owner, is witty & fun; sometimes moody.

I didn't think it was possible for a grilled cheese sandwich to exceed my expectations, but here we…read moreare. I'd spent the morning hiking around Pfeiffer Beach and arrived in Carmel in the early afternoon. I was looking for basic sustenance. On the menu it didn't appear fancy-- a basic grilled cheese sandwich with tomato bisque. The combination was delivered to my table hot and fresh. I waited for a few minutes so as to avoid burning my tongue. I observed the bread was crispy, and the cheese combination was nicely melted. The bisque had a nice aroma. The first bite of sandwich was perfection, and following it up with a spoonful of bisque was pure rapture. I was impressed by a humble grilled cheese sandwich because it was made to perfection.

Came here because my friends love the fish and chips - which were good, but not my go to…read more We started with the fried calamari and truffle fries. Calamari was very lightly breaded and maybe it was timing but not as crisp of breading as I prefer. That said, it tasted good- I just prefer more crunch. The truffle fries were GREAT. Extra crispy, perfectly salted and seasoned w truffle. I shared the nicoise salad and roast beef sliders - the salad was good, the meat of the sliders was good and the crispy onions were a nice touch. The actual sliders were a tad dry. I think an au jus would've paired perfectly with this and resolved any dryness problem. My boyfriend got the Brophy's burger - extremely cheesy and loved the mushrooms. I'm not often in Carmel, but if I am and need a solid, casual bite, I will definitely be back!!

Husband had the espresso martini. Described as "awesome and very good ". I had the Mai tai. Perhaps the best I have had on the mainland. This one and perhaps one other compared to the Islands. The ambience of the lounge is definitely Doris Day era. Ceilings painted to appear like drapes. Every other song or so was a Doris.

This should be a slam dunk. You're in the historic Cypress Inn (Doris Day's legendary dog-friendly…read morehotel), you have a gorgeous patio, excellent location, and built-in clientele. And yet somehow, Terry's manages to squander all of it with terrible food. To be fair, our server was sweet--a nice girl who was clearly trying. But one kind server can't make up for what was coming out of the kitchen. We played it safe and both ordered the chicken piccata. Big mistake. What arrived was one of the most depressing plates I've seen in a while: basic-béarnaise sauce dumped on top of chicken. Not piccata. Not even close. Just... butter sauce on chicken. This is a meal I'll be thinking about for a long time, and not in a good way. It's genuinely sad to see a restaurant with this much going for it just completely blow it. Cypress Inn deserves better. Carmel deserves better. Skip Terry's and eat literally anywhere else.

Links is one of my favorite spots in Carmel, and is one of the places regularly on my list whenever I go back. Carmel-by-the-Sea isn't necessarily known for the bar scene, but Links offers an excellent option for anyone looking to extend their night and keep the fun going! They have a pretty extensive menu of food and drinks. The food is pretty standard bar fare, but with no shortage of options. The drink selection is quite varied as well, with a good selection of beers on tap. Service has always been exemplary when I've been here - the staff is friendly, fun, and have the gift of quickly remembering their return visitors, which really makes Links feel like a welcoming spot. Food and drinks come out quickly, and my beer glass was rarely empty without the staff coming up and offering another round! Links also has several large golf simulator areas, where you and your friends can practice your swing while playing a number of games against a large virtual projector screen. Add on top of all this the regular rotation of live music and karaoke, and you've got an excellent sports bar that should be on anyone's list who's looking for a fun, casual, energetic sports bar in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Thanks for all the fun times, Links!
