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.

We ordered the chicken nachos, but they took forever to come out. When they finally arrived, they were okay, not bad, but nothing special either. It was fine for a brief stop and a little reset from the day, but I would probably keep expectations casual.

We stopped by here on this past New Years Eve briefly. I randomly found this spot on Yelp while I…read morewas searching for places to try since we were having a little getaway for NYE in Monterey. 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.

We sat at the bar, had a couple drinks and ordered a few things to snack on. Service was great--friendly, attentive and we never had to hunt anyone down for another drink, which is always a plus! We ordered the Schooners Seafood Tower, although "tower" is being a little generous lol. It's more of a seafood platter served over ice with oysters, shrimp, crab, mussels and tuna poke. Everything was fresh and the presentation was nice. Is it some huge over-the-top seafood tower??? Nooooo lol, but this also isn't that kind of restaurant and I wasn't expecting it to be. The tuna poke was probably my least favorite. It wasn't BAD, it just didn't do much for me and I've definitely had better. Now the Big Little Lies cocktail...that was another story!!! Delicious and I would absolutely order that again. We only stopped in for appetizers and a few drinks, so I can't really judge the entire menu without coming back for an actual dinner. Location, atmosphere and service get the 4 stars from me. The food? Jury is still out...looks like I'll have to go back and eat some more. Tough job, but somebody has to do it! ;)

The pizza was also tasty, although it was way too salty for my taste, probably because of the cheeses they used. We also ordered a rice dish that came with an egg on top. I personally didn't really like the seasoning, so it wasn't quite to my taste, but the food itself was still good. The only part I wasn't very happy with was the service. The staff seemed a little cold and didn't really check on our table to see if we needed anything. I wanted ketchup for my sandwich the entire time, but no one came by, so I ended up using the small amount of ketchup that came with the fries. That being said, I have to give credit where it's due -- the food was fresh, good quality, and genuinely delicious overall. I especially enjoyed the sandwiches and would definitely recommend them.

The burger was also very average, and the caramelized onions were overcooked. For around $25, the burger was definitely not worth it. What made our experience even more disappointing was the service. Our server was a tall, middle-aged woman, and unfortunately, she was not friendly or welcoming toward us at all. We did arrive later in the evening, but we checked the restaurant's hours before coming and placed our order while they were still open. We understand that it may have been close to the end of the night, but we still expected basic friendly service. There wasn't even a smile, and her attitude made us feel unwelcome. Also, the fork that was given to us was visibly dirty, as you can see in the photo. This was unpleasant and definitely something that should have been checked before being given to a customer. Overall, between the average food, the high prices, the unfriendly service, and the dirty utensil, our experience was disappointing.
