    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.

    Banana infused old fashioned

    Stopped in for an appetizer and drinks along our 17 mile drive tour. Ordered the brisket queso and chips, the jacks tea and the banana infused old fashioned. Oh my gosh, everything was so good! The flavor combo on the banana infused old fashioned was amazing! Same with the brisket queso! Highly recommend!! Probably should have eaten dinner there also but had reservations somewhere else that was not as good and too expensive. Wish I had known that earlier. Service was amazing as well. Nice down to earth atmosphere, comfy casual but upscale. Want to go back just for the banana infused old fashioned!!

    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. The place is bigger, nicer of course, and a bit brighter. 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.

    We went to The Taproom for my birthday and it was such a treat it's easily one of my favorite restaurants and never disappoints. We ordered the New York steak and the Kobe Gold (which comes with the salt board). The Kobe Gold is my absolute favorite, it's $135, but it's 100% worth it and we order it every time. So flavorful and perfectly cooked. The brisket queso was delicious, and you can't go wrong with the Caesar salad. I love that they put anchovies on top. We also had the mac and cheese and a baked potato that was HUGE. Everything was spot on. For drinks, we had wine and an Old Fashioned it was good, but I do wish it came with one large square ice cube instead of the smaller ice. Just a small touch that would make it even better! We shared a half Taproom sundae for dessert and it was the perfect amount for four people. Nick was our server (we've had him before) and he always does an excellent job. He's attentive, friendly, and professional. We'll definitely be back. It's always a great experience here!

    Roasted Beet Salad
    Heather R.

    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. 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.

    We had a great time enjoying our lunch with the first hole in view. 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.

    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. We had a view of the hole 1 fairway.

    Tap room Coolest and funniest spot for golfers 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

    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!!! Beautiful night and fantastic food!

Earlier in the…read moreday while we walked past this establishment we heard laughter and what seemed like chill vibes, so we made a mental note to come back later in the evening for a few drinks. Walked in, and it was busy. Not packed but busy due to shortage of staff. The waiter got to us and said there's seating outside and if we'd rather seat inside she was the only waiter so it'll be a few more minutes before she can clean the tables. We waited patiently and got a seat. Ordered drinks and waited. Waited and waited. While waiting I could see the 1 bartender just chatting away with the people sitting at the bar. Making drinks here and there but majority of the time just talking. 20-25 min passed by and our Waiter stopped by and realized we still haven't received our 2 drinks. She immediately got our attention and went to the Lady Bar Tender who looked annoyed that she was getting interrupted talking to the customers and was asked to do her job and check on our drinks. At this time we decided to walk up and sit at the bar as there were open seats. As we sat down the Bartender gave us a drink & food menu and said kitchen closes soon. We told her that we're just ordering drinks and that the waiter had already placed our drink order a while back. She went to her kiosk system and realized there were 2 drinks placed. She immediately looked at her phone and I'm sure referenced the time and actually proceeded to make one of our drink. She rimmed it and placed ice into the cup - while doing this she placed the drink back down as the customer next to us asked for another drink. She went back to the kiosk and grabbed her phone and looked like she purposefully just didn't care to make our drinks. She was on her phone with her back turned to us... for quite some time. There was enough time in between her back turning and the other customers drink order that we decide we're not going to be waisting any more of our time & leave. While doing this she actually proceeded to skip making our drink and got the drink/beer for the customer next to us. I walked on over to the waitress and said she can cancel our drink and we're leaving; she immediately apologized and said for us to stay and she'll ask to comp our 1st drink. I was very hesitant but she obviously was very apologetic and we went back and sat. She went to the bartender and told her make our drink and comp it. The bartender all of a sudden went back to making our drink and started talking to us saying she's the only bartender and the other 2 called out... never did she apologize. At this time I just told her she wasn't busy making drinks rather just talking and also skipping our drink to serve someone else. She asked if we still wanted our drinks and at this time, clearly why would anyone stay and support this kind of behavior. I told her, her customer service attitude sucks and we walked out. Waisted 45 min of our time... To the establishment: pls have your bartender working Night of 9/10 check herself & her attitude. She's the engine that runs your bar business and if she's clearly this rude, unprofessional and unapologetic about making drinks she shouldn't be working as a bartender. She left a very bad impression on your business while another worker tried to make things right just for her to give your customers attitude and purposely just choosing to not make our drinks.

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.
