    Love coming here for Trivia Wednesdays and Taco Tuesdays!! Their Taco Tuesday is 3 for $10 and that's actually a pretty good deal for Monterey, especially for ones that taste pretty good! Definitely would recommend the carnitas tacos!

    If you're looking for a fun, family friendly indoor activity, Tipsy Putt is the place to be! Tipsy Putt is located in the heart of downtown Monterey and is the perfect spot for a night out! The downstairs has a unique (though slightly smaller than average) mini golf course. There's a bigger bar upstairs and a mini bar downstairs with a nice selection of seltzers and drinks. Since it's a pretty popular spot, it can get packed on the weekends so expect a bit of a wait! Also, it can very hot downstairs, so I'd recommend wearing something light and comfortable. They have a decent selection of drinks and food available, with plenty of seating including an outdoor patio. Can't wait to visit again soon!

    Chicken sandwich and smash burger

    Decent spot where you can play mini golf downstairs. Layout of the restaurant is kinda confusing. You order at the counter and then pick up your food on the other side of the kitchen window. We grabbed a table thinking we can order from the QR code but that was not the case. Wished they would have provided menus beforehand or at least on the big monitor so you don't wait in line not knowing what to order. Wait was pretty long too. This place is great for groups and entertainment tho. Lots of tv to watch on. I went on a date here and we ordered drinks and food only. I got the Chicken sandwich and he got the Smash burger. Both came with fries and the buttermilk ranch was really good! Fries were ok.

    Had such a fun time at Tipsy Putt in Monterey! Such a great spot if you're looking for something casual, fun, and different to do. The vibe was really good, with a fun atmosphere that's perfect for hanging out, having drinks, and enjoying some friendly competition. It's a great place for a date night, group outing, or just something fun to do while in Monterey. Definitely would go back!

    Birria tacos

    Ordered the mini quesa birria, the big birdie , hamburger. Service was quick and we came right on time. For a Wednesday it started to get busy ! The music was a bit all over the place lol. But overall great music. The fries that came along with the burgers were salty. The big birdie , I felt was missing something.

    Cesar salad
    Joan R.

    Stopped here based on good reviews, but the experience was just okay. There was no wait (only two other families dining), yet the food took longer than expected--partly because my buzzer died. I ordered a Mexican chopped salad with chicken ($18) but received a Caesar salad instead (as pictured). My daughter's smash burger with bacon and avocado ($23) was good, and the drinks were fine.

    Downstairs put put

    My wife and I were looking for a place near the aquarium for lunch that could appease both us and our 3 kids. We remembered coming here years ago on our last visit, but I believe it was a different business. Honestly, I think this concept is so great that I'm shocked it hasn't caught on more. The restaurant is both a tap room, restaurant, and mini golf place. Downstairs they have a small mini golf course and on the main floor they have another type of mini golf I'm not too familiar with. I think it's more about you rolling a ball across a table top mini golf course. It looked fun, but unfortunately we just didn't have the time to play. Something to look forward to next time! When we came in, we were instantly greeted by the man working behind the bar. He ushered us over and happily helped us place our lunch orders. The menu is your standard bar fair. Our kids went with the kids corn dogs & Mac & cheese, I went with a burrito, and my wife a salad. Once our food was ready, we all gobbled everything up. My kids loved their food, my wife said the salad was fine. Nothing amazing, but still hit the spot. My burrito, once you got through the heavy use of rice, was tasty & the meat flavorful. If they had cut the rice volume down by about 1/3 it would've been top notch. In all, we're glad we opted out of eating in the aquarium and stumbled upon this restaurant. We had a great time and our only real disappointment was that we didn't have the time to play some golf while we were there. Like I said above, I guess we now have something to look forward to the next time we're here.

    Crow & Wolf's Dark Horse seltzer 10/10!

    Great place to meet up with friends. Chill and laid back. We ordered drinks played a quick round of miniature golf and I lost horribly. All drinks are served off the taps, there is a very small assortment of liquor but it got the job done lol. We ordered Birria fries and the pretzels with cheese. The cheese had good flavor but too thin for my dipping cheese preference. The Birria fries were good. The meat was flavorful just not enough of it. The outside ambience I where it's at! The tables with propane fire pits and all sorts of games. It was nice! We would definitely go back and try more snacks.

    Cider from Santa Cruz
    Amanda K.

    Fun little spot! They had hard cider in addition to beers. The tacos were delicious. We didn't get to doing the golf due to having our toddler with us-but it would have been fun! They have a little Photo Booth. Friendly staff!

    Amber R.

    What a fun spot! We stopped in on a Wednesday evening during a recent trip up the coast. You sit wherever you like and order food and drinks at the counter. We ordered the mac and cheese trio, the fish tacos and a salad with chicken. The food was pretty standard bar food, but everyone enjoyed their meals. We were delighted to see it was Trivia Night and stayed for the fun. Love that the location is close to hotels and right in the heart of Cannery Row. There are plenty of street and structure parking options nearby. Definitely a solid date night spot.

    Found this spot last minute and it was such a great find. When we arrived, earlier in the evening, it was fairly empty with loads of spots to sit. We stayed upstairs enjoying drinks and playing a board game (tables were very conducive to a board game). The mixed cocktails available were very strong and I had the whiskey and Coke one (forgot the name). We did explore the downstairs but decided not to play put put. After I lost to our board game, we decided to play the pool/putt putt combo game upstairs. It was fun and unique. Overall we had a great time here, highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

    My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary, we stopped by for a beer and a cocktail, everyone was very friendly and the place is amazing, they have mini golf and other fun stuff. Flat bread was delicious!! Shoutout to Alexis she was amazing and very sweet. Don't miss this place on your stay here.

There were lots of indoor and outdoor seating options to choose from, including booths, high tables, and seats at the bar. In winter, it felt even hotter in the partially covered patio than inside, with fire pits at some tables and heaters up above. So we decided on sitting outside. There was also live music happening in the back room on this holiday evening, which was cool to check out. The art and decor in the restaurant was quirky and added character to the place. What's more, the staff was friendly and helpful and provided outstanding service throughout the evening. We got the cockney chicken pie, blackened rock cod, cup of clam chowder, and to drink, a lemon drop cocktail and big sur golden (draught beer). The only thing salty was the lemon drop, as they put salt on the rim instead of sugar. But it was still tasty and made well otherwise. The food was delicious, full of flavor without all the sodium. I especially enjoyed the creamy and savory chicken pie with a flaky crust on top and lightly seasoned veggies. The clam chowder was quite good too. It tasted fresh and was very satisfying. As it turns out, our final meal of 2025 was a good one!

The one downside is that you have to pay for parking and they don't validate parking, even when the parking is literally right outside their front door.

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.
