    Tap Room Meatloaf
    MamaSteve S.

    We love going to the Tap Room. Great food and service and nice variety of wine, beer and spirits. The meatloaf was hearty and good and the sand dabs were also very good. Love that they are open and serve later than most restaurants in the area.

    Prime Filet Mignon with Bearnaise sauce
    Michael J.

    Dined last Saturday for lunch. Mostly the usual good experience. I was a bit disappointed with my filet Mignon today though. It wasn't the best of cuts. It was a little stringy in make up. It lacked the usual texture attained during preparation. And didn't seem to be seasoned upon grilling. It was a real all around miss. It is not what I have come to expect from the Tap Room. Everything else we had was great, thankfully. The French onion soup, the potato gratin, the Gruyère chicken melt, popcorn shrimp, and cheesecake were all excellent. They have a superior wine by the glass selection. Service was great. Classic ambiance.

    Always a great time at Tap Room, friendly staff and great food. Excellent bar staff. Wonderful selection on the menu. I like to pop in once or twice a week. Love it 5 stars for sure.

    First time here after the big renovation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is bigger, nicer of course, and a bit brighter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food and service is excellent just like before! Really can't go wrong with this place. Everything is delish! Remember to save room for dessert! My favorite is the coconut cake!!

    Quality/Quantity - Also known as the 19th hole. I got here first for a drink or two while my wife continued to shop. Volver, Tempranillo, Single Vineyard, La Mancha, Spain 2018 - Was able to finish two glasses before my wife came back from shopping, lol. Thai Curry Shrimp Soup, bowl - Better than expected. Good flavors, generous shrimp. Overall a small menu done well. Well, I just looked at the lunch menu. Atmosphere - Good size location. Dress code is resort casual. So dress like a golfer, lol. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bar seating, where you can find me, lol. Open 7 days a week from 7am to midnight. See website. Service - Friendly and welcoming. Relaxing. Price - Reasonably priced for being in Pebble Beach. $51 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1919. 1880 - Pacific Improvement Company; headed by the big four. 1881 - 17 mile drive open. 1897 - 9 hole course. 1901 - Started charging 25¢ to enter the 17 mile drive. 1903 - 18 hole course.

    Brisket Queso

    Stopped by for drinks and appetizers on a Friday afternoon. We were seated promptly, everyone we encountered was very friendly and our food came out quickly. We got the prime beef skewers and brisket queso, both were delicious but the queso was definitely our favorite.

    Roasted Beet Salad

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tap room is very nice! This isn't where it usually is as they are doing construction on the real site, but the view of the course itself is still nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was great and attentive. I didn't want the cheese on my salad and she asked if I wanted to substitute a different cheese, which I hadn't even thought to do! I ordered the beet salad and it was light, yet refreshing. It was the perfect dish for lunchtime.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great time enjoying our lunch with the first hole in view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Normally that part is closed to the public for private events but they are doing construction on the lodge. Our drinks took over 20 minutes which was irritating because we just got waters and 2 cokes. We finally had another waiter help us. The food finally came and it was yummy. We also got the key lime pie which was awesome. Other than the drink drought we had a great time.

    Tap room [[HIGHLIGHT]]Coolest and funniest spot for golfers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mark and the team always say Hi Nick excellent at getting your cocktails right and fast But best is you walking Maria says Hello and seats you at your favorite table The food is always served tasting the best Highly recommend Trying the Tap Room

    We had great service for lunch. We ate in the temporary location in July '25. The prime rib chili and cornbread were delicious. Ask for bread service. It's delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a view of the hole 1 fairway.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This was a great surprise while in Carmel! I shot over to the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Course and had an incredible dinner at the Tap Room, their temporary steak house while the original is being renovated. I started with a fantastic Old Fashion! Then went straight to a nice piece of prime rib with a corn side dish. Paired that with a delicious Pinot Nior. Finished with a Nutty Irishman!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful night and fantastic food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The Tap Room Sundae
    Tony L.

    FOOD: 5 SERVICE: 4 AMBIANCE: 5 VALUE: 5 The Tap Room is in the Pebble Beach resort main building. The is an entrance directly from the main courtyard. It is a traditional pub with full sit down meal service. We were lucky enough to grab a table for early dinner during Car Week. The hostess was very kind and seated our table of four very hungry people. The only stipulation was that we can only have the table for 1 hour 45 minutes. We had the Prime Rib (different cuts) and it was delicious and tender. Then we ordered two desserts because I have a weakness for bread pudding and the ladies wanted a sundae. The bread pudding had excellent texture and taste. But the Tap Room Sundae was at a different level! First, it was HUGE, then there were tons of yummy ingredients, and finally the dark chocolate sauce was flavorful and not too sweet. All in all an excellent traditional English style pub.

Our waitress Rachel was great and took good care of us. We ordered the French dip (added Swiss, onions, and mushrooms) solid sandwich, though it could've used a touch more salt. The real star though, was the fish and chips. Genuinely some of the best I've ever had. Lightly battered, flaky, perfectly cooked. The vibe lands in that sweet spot of upscale casual without crossing into fine dining, comfortable but elevated. Highly recommend if you're passing through Carmel. We'll definitely be back.

The fish and chips is the ultimate meal. The burger was savory, soft and creamy just he right amount. It perfectly paired with the Talbott pinot noir they recommended. The only comment is make is the amount of French fries that were served with the burger. The plate was a lot larger looking because a sparse amount of fries was served alongside. Maybe add a little more next time just to balance it off. The servers/bartenders knew their stuff. They provided what they could in terms of what was popular and well liked. They said both items we ordered were the most popular. The fish and chips have won best fish and chips 3 years in a row. I would agree with this since I usually am not wowed with this dish. I couldn't resist ordering a dessert. The applied tart with vanilla ice cream was so satisfying. Overall service, food quality and experience was very good. If return over and over again for this same food and experience. If I could give 10 stars I would. Carmel and Brody's is a new destination.

We specifically chose this place because it advertised itself as dog-friendly. When we arrived, the game had already started, and the bar was nearly empty. Since it was open seating, we chose the best available table to watch the match. It was a table for six, and the waitress asked us to move to a smaller table in case a larger group arrived. That seemed reasonable, so we moved without any issue. Another server took our order, and everything was fine throughout the first half of the game. A little later, two other customers came in and sat at the same six-person table we had originally chosen. They were also asked to move for the same reason. Instead of moving, they simply left. At this point, the bar was still almost empty on a Wednesday morning. At halftime, we noticed a completely empty patio with a two-person table that offered an even better view of the game, so we moved there. Unfortunately, our service was then taken over by the original waitress. When she approached our table with the wrong order, she came up abruptly and startled our elderly dog, who barked. Rather than apologizing or correcting the order, she immediately told us that if other guests arrived, we would have to leave. Looking around at the nearly empty restaurant, I replied that it didn't seem like anyone else was coming. Instead of bringing us the correct order, she brought us the bill. The experience left us feeling like hypothetical future customers were valued more than the guests who were actually there enjoying a meal and drinks. It was a disappointing experience, especially at a business that advertises itself as dog-friendly and an official World Cup viewing venue.

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.

Founded in Monterey in 2014, Alvarado Street Brewery expanded its production and its restaurants to meet demand. This location in the Carmel Plaza Shopping Center opened in 2018, and they do produce beer here, though their main production and canning happens at their original Monterey and expanded Salinas plants. They also have a new beer garden at the new soccer stadium in Marina. We waited around at the mall until it opened at 11:30. Service was excellent all-around, with us being seated right away, and our server, Ian, providing some top-notch recommendations for both food and beer. I asked him about their flights, which were the standard 5 oz pours, and individually priced. But he mentioned that if I ordered their promotional deal (in this case, their Korean-style loco moco), it would come with a flight of their 4 core beers. He had me sold as soon as he said 'loco moco'. Everything came out on-time, and served at the right temperature as appropriate. 4 beer flight (included with loco moco plate) - flagship Monterey Beer (American Light Lager, brewed at their Salinas plant); Pilsner (German-style Pilsner, also brewed at their Salinas plant); Mai Tai (American IPA, Salinas); Howzit Punch (fruited sour, modeled after Hawaiian POG). All of the beers were really good. with the Howzit being the most liked, not only on principle (we really love Hawaii) but also on taste. Korean-Style Loco Moco ($25) - when told that the white rice on a traditional loco moco was being replaced by kimchi fried rice, my original reaction was 'Dang...why didn't I think of that'. It was a beautiful looking dish, for sure. In terms of taste, just OK. The rice wasn't great, and the hamburger patty was OK (a bit dry). But the over-easy egg added a nice level of richness and the gravy fit the dish. The strips of gim (seaweed sheets) was a great touch and appreciated. Roasted Drunken Half Chicken ($33) - another great looking dish: a cut up half chicken with a ton of crisping done on the skin. It came with two dipping sauces (a bbq and a butter based), along with pickled vegetables on the side, and a jalapeno biscuit. My wife loved the biscuit and didn't need the extra butter. The chicken looked dry though, and she confirmed it. The dark meat was OK, but the white meat was very dry, confirming that one needs to use the bbq sauce and the pickled vegetables to counteract that. Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich ($20) - my mother-in-law loved this, and she proved it by eating it all (though it could have something to do with all the walking we did in the morning). I enjoyed the fresh cole slaw (tart with a nice mix of vegetables). And all of us really enjoyed the fries...again proving that food service frozen fries can be marvelous if deep fried (and served) properly. My wife and I both agreed that the Mai Tai PA and Howzit Punch were really good and worth bringing back home so got a 4-pack of each ($16 each). Haven't had a chance to try it at home yet, but will do so when wanting to remember our trip.
