I didn't realize they offer single cans to go, which is a great option--you don't have to commit to a six-pack. You can try individual beers, plus non-alcoholic drinks, and sodas. The staff was very friendly, and I ended up picking up five different cans to sample. Everything I tried was excellent. The beer stood out as especially fresh--you can immediately see it in the pour with a tall, foamy head. It made me realize how worthwhile it is to buy directly from a local brewery like this. The beer is brewed in Berkeley and feels noticeably fresher than what you often get from stores, where even a full six-pack can sometimes taste flat or stale. I've also stopped ordering beer at many restaurants for the same reason--too often it's expensive and not at its best. This place is a keeper for me, and I'll definitely be back.

One of the highlights of my birthday trip to Monterey!!!…read more My partner surprised me with a trip to Monterey to celebrate my birthday, and of course, we wanted to play tourists for the weekend lol! We were looking for something fun and different to do while exploring the area. Although the Monterey Bay Aquarium is just a short walk away, we had already visited before and wanted to switch things up. Since we're both fans of mini golf, we came across Tipsy Putt while searching for activities nearby, and OMGGG, I'm so happy we did!! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was already a 10/10! The atmosphere was super fun and laid back, and the playlist??? BANGERS!! Definitely the kind of music that puts you in a good mood right away. We headed over to the front bar area, where we were greeted by the sweetest employee! She was SOOO friendly, welcoming, and helpful. She explained how everything worked and gave us a chance to look over the drink menu. I ended up ordering a pineapple margarita, while my partner went with a strawberry margarita. Both were such fun drinks to enjoy while playing! While waiting for our drinks, we noticed they had a PHOTO BOOTH!! Obviously, we couldn't pass that up lol. We took some cute pictures together, and one detail I absolutely loved was the little area where visitors could leave behind one of their photo strips. Seeing everyone's memories displayed was honestly such a cute and thoughtful touch. Of course, we had to leave one of ours behind too! Once our drinks were ready, the employee handed us our golf balls and explained that the mini golf course was downstairs. Now, the golfing area itself isn't the biggest, but don't let that fool you because we had SOOO much fun!! The courses were actually pretty challenging, and there were definitely a few holes that had us struggling longer than we'd like to admit lol. But that honestly made it even more entertaining! Between the friendly competition, laughing at each other's attempts, and sipping on our margaritas, we were having the best time. They also had a boxing arcade machine, which we decided to try before wrapping up our visit. Such a fun little addition to an already great experience! What I loved most about Tipsy Putt was that it wasn't just another activity to cross off our list. It ended up being one of those spontaneous experiences that made our birthday getaway even more memorable. I'm already wanting to bring my family here so they can experience it too! The ONLY thing I regret is not trying their food while we were there, so that's definitely on my list for next time. Overall, such a fun spot for a date, a little friendly competition, or just something different to do while visiting Monterey. Between the fun atmosphere, great music, friendly service, drinks, and activities, Tipsy Putt was a HIT for us!! We'll absolutely be back!!

A Fantastic Time at Tipsy Putt -- And Those Wings! We had…read moresuch a GREAT time at Tipsy Putt! From the moment we walked through the doors, I knew we were in for a good time. We were greeted by Lexi at the front desk, and WOW! She was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be at work. You very seldom see this kind of customer service these days, and Lexi made an immediate impression on us! She wasted no time giving us the scoop on everything Tipsy Putt had to offer. We headed downstairs and played golf for about half an hour. Let's just say we worked up an appetite, especially after all the laughter over our golfing skills! When we were ready for food, Lexi was there again, happy to walk us through the menu and tell us about the many drinks they offer. I ordered a strawberry something-or-other that I wish I could have another one of RIGHT NOW! We all ordered drinks and were very impressed with the variety of options on the menu. Now, let's talk about the FOOD! After stuffing our faces with some of the BEST barbecue wings I've had in a long time, I have to say they were even better than Wingstop! ....And that's saying something! My buddies enjoyed tacos and pulled pork sandwiches, and we were all very happy with our choices. Lexi shared that the cooks really enjoy preparing the food, and I believe it! Everything came out tasting like it was cooked with LOVE. I'm already looking forward to going back, and it won't be long! Please tell Lexi we said HELLO, and that we'll be seeing her again soon. She helped make our visit extra special, and that kind of service deserves to be recognized. And as for those barbecue wings? They're CALLING MY NAME RIGHT NOW! Thanks, Tipsy Putt, for a wonderful time, great food, delicious drinks, lots of laughter, and an employee like Lexi who makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. See you soon! Angel

A super fun spot! My…read morefriends and I swung by The Salty Seal for a night out and had a great time. One thing to note, if you are 22 and under and try to come in, you will need two forms of ID. I came with just my drivers license and was almost not let in because I did not have two IDs on me. Luckily, I had a photo of my passport which sufficed. The bouncer was definitely not the friendliest. He was super stern and not the most understanding. Once you're inside, you will be greeted by a dive bar type area. There are some pool tables and seating. It is a very lowkey and casual vibe in this area. The back area of this bar is very different. There is another bar, booths, and a dance floor where there is a bit more of a club vibe. We came the Friday night before the 4th of July. The music was fantastic. The DJ this night was playing absolute banger after banger. He was playing some great throwback hits. It had to have been the best local DJ I have ever seen. The dance floor was packed with everyone dancing and we totally caught a vibe. There is also an outdoor area with tables and stools. It is much quieter and lowkey back there. We had such a great time that we decided to come back the following night. I was prepared with my two forms of ID! As expected, the crowd was much smaller (it was the Fourth of July). The music wasn't my favorite this time around but it was still fun. The only thing that bugged me a little was that their Green Tea Shots were premade. We ordered about four of them and they were poured straight out of a jug. Other than that, this place is a great time. I will definitely be back.

And here is the rundown- *Passion Fruit, Other Fruit, 5.8% ABV 10/10, Delicious! *Faction Red-Red Ale, 5.8% ABV 8/10, Slightly bitter upon first sip but smoother as you drink more. *Lager from Occidental 4.2% 10/10 Super light and fresh and refreshing. Also, fun! *Funky Foeder Cherry Sour Ale from Russian River. 7% ABV If you are not a sour fan you may not like this one. But I personally loved it! Next I enjoyed a half serve of Hazed and Confused IPA Hazy out of Paso Robles. 6% ABV. 10/10 Delicious. Originally I was hoping to find Socks and Sandals from Humble Sea but the server said they have a hard time keeping that in stock and recommended this one. 100% reminded me of that flavor. Plenty of cans to choose from and a food truck showing up as I was leaving. Loads of parking here too. Highly recommend having a DD or of course NOT driving after coming here. I suggest a walk around the neighborhood and enjoying all the murals. Enjoy life and drink good beer. Cheers! SYOY!

As a woman who loves IPA's but hates the bloating of a heavy beer, a refreshing fix is to cut the IPA half with their frozen 3.5% mix - it calms down the high IPA%'s that are 10-11%, it makes it even juicier, and wayyyyy cooler. It is really nice as the ice melts into the beer - it is basically an IPA shandy. They charge you for the more expensive beer but it is worth it to me to lower the % because it is really easy to get drunk quickly just off a couple of their strong IPA's. Bonus of this to me is that is calms down the carbonation so you do not get bloated. l call my mix - The Sloshed Therapist, it is half The Confused Therapist and half their Mango slushie at 3.5%. Highly recommend all the beers, it is hard to go wrong. Make sure your first time to sit at the indoor bar and try a few tasters to see what you like. HIGHLY recommend the Strawberry Margarita Seltzer, even my partner who I swear has an anti-sweet tooth enjoys this Seltzer, NOTE it is 10% and it is not overly sweet so it is a perfect refreshing beverage alternative to the strong IPAs. The Wedos food truck is CRAZY GOOD - the carnitas quesadilla changed my life. Get extra of their sour cream sauce!

(Sunday evening, not busy at all) As I waited for our two beers, I had to be careful not to step in a bunch of French fries and a fork that were on the floor where I was standing. The two bartenders seemed more concerned with talking to their friends sitting on the other side of the bar than cleaning up or checking on customers that had just walked in. Just seemed like a slow paced dive bar atmosphere with very little attention to detail and service that I've seen at other locations. No kitchen at this spot, but there is a food truck on site with tacos, nachos, and sandwiches. We went with the chicken nachos which were actually pretty good.

We didn't order anything mind-blowing (salads, apps,) but the pretzels were inhaled, and the cheese pizza was "the best" my teen son had ever had, and giant enough that he needed to take it home.

They have high-chairs for the kiddos and they're bathrooms look new and they were very clean. They wait staff were very nice and was served quickly and they never made sure my bottomless mimosa was empty. They also have a full bar. As for added convenience, they have power outlets if you want to charge your phone. There's also a dartboard & a Touchtones jukebox. As for the food, I had the nachos w/ beef & fried pickles. Both were very tasty, I was with 2 other people and there was plenty of food to go around. They bread on the pickles were light and flaky, and the house ranch was divine. The nachos have a two cheese blend, the chips held up well, they do put sour cream & salsa on the side. Would I come back, definitely! I saw the wings and burgers that other patrons had and they smelled very good. Price $52 (w/ 20% tip)

I was so thrilled to check this pub out especially with our doggie, Meatball the Bulldog! How perfect right? A Bulldog at The Bulldog Sports Pub. We snagged the last available booth, and it had crumbs on there. Not clean. SMH. I went to the bar to order some drinks for my boyfriend and me since he left his wallet in the car. It was raining that night, and we parked several blocks away. The service was okay. I remember the guy bartender said $29something, but then he charged me $30something. I got the Jalapeno Margarita while my boyfriend had the Tito's Mule. My drink was very sweet with a kick of jalapeno while his was pretty good. They had music playing. It seems that there is a modern jukebox where you can pay to pick a song. There was one pool table for people to play. So many people came up to pet Meatball and give him so much attention. He absolutely loved it! There was one guy who asked if he can say "Hi" to Meatball, and we said that it was okay like we normally do. This weirdo was basically making out with Meatball; not cool at all man. Then Meatball flipped on his back, and he was holding Meatball. My boyfriend told him to let go of Meatball. It was such an uncomfortable interaction. Not normal at all. He even said, "This is my NYE kiss!" SMDH. The guy sat down at a table that is across from us, and he kept looking at us. We quickly finished our drinks, and then we left to ring in the new year at our hotel lobby instead. We should have just hung out in our hotel lobby instead of going out; it was much better there.

Their menu is fun to look at and still have the classic drinks you'd get at the bar like Moscow mule and old fashioned, but with their own twist. I opted for the Modern Love with mezcal, amaro, passionfruit, and lime. Let's just say I was knocked outttt after sipping that...quite strong with no lime to be found but it was still a bit fruity. My boyfriend got the Cali Old Fashioned, which you can definitely taste the whiskey and bitters (with a whisper of citrus --- heavy on the whisper). Really cool spot and I'd love to come back!

I mean it wasn't too difficult to find, but it was kind of weird they didn't have their own entrance into the restaurant but no big deal. I wanted to try both the cherry lime ricketey and the pink lemonade so the boyfriend got the ricketey and I got the lemonade. I'm so glad we did it that way because I found the cherry and lime drink too bitter and sour. I know that it's supposed to be sour, but it was just too much. Didn't love it as much as I hoped it would have. The pink lemonade was so good! I love the throwback to a childhood drink (with some alcohol of course). So good.
