Alvarado is a great place for drinks and dinner. The food is always great and I’ve been told the beer is good (but I don’t think beer). However, the cocktails are great too! The place definitely gets crowded really quick so prepare for a wait if you wanted a table or else I recommend just eating at the tabletops.
I came here with my family this last weekend and wanted to make sure I completed this review based off the fantastic experience I had at this location. Desiree was extremely nice and helpful. Desiree even accommodated us by taking me to look at the table that was available to ensure that worked for my family and let me know there was another option if it did not work for us. I have to say I have never had a restaurant employee treat me that good. I really felt welcomed and taken care of.
When we sat down we were assisted by waitress Autumn who was wonderful herself. Autumn was very friendly, attentive and had good knowledge of the menu. Exactly how you would like your server to be. She took very good care of us our whole visit. Overall the food, service and atmosphere were awesome. I would definitely recommend coming here when you're in Monterey. I for sure will be coming back very soon.

Great stop on my beer bucket list but $26USD for a flight of six sample beers was ridiculous. I’ve checked in 12,000 beers on Untapped and have traveled from Copenhagen to Vancouver chasing great beers. This place has the beers but I could have had three pints for the cost of this flight. Staff were great, but I think this was by far the most expensive flight I’ve ever had.
Great place to eat and have some great beers! Had the cheeseburger an it was excelent and drunk a lot of fantastic beers.
FOOD: Hamburger... patty is 4oz before cooking, which is why they offer a double patty for extra $$. Burgers come with "vege fixins'" and fries add $ for garlic fries that really have little to no garlic. The cost was $22 with 2 patties which were probably 1/3 patty once cooked. I had no sauce on the burger. Burger was good with a great, soft, airy bun.
PIZZA: Kid pizza is the same size as regular. Borrow someone's kid while ordering and save $$$:)) Just joking...
Pizza crust is thin and made, I believe, with Parmesain cheese. We had the pepperoni for $16. Pizza is the size of a small 10" dinner plate. Had good flavor, loaded with cheese & pepperoni. Not the meal if you want low calorie or low saturated fat.
"RAINBOW BOWL":
$22 to include an ample size chicken breast. This dish was flavor-filled and textured; not mushy. Always good, friendly service from Britrany and a festive atmosphere.
I added a tasting flight of 4 different IPA beer(s) @ $3.75 each. I really could not tell much difference between them.

We sat out on the back patio, and it was a beautiful experience from start to finish. Amongst the other bartenders out there, Rachel took incredible care of us. She was so personable, making suggestions of items on the menu we might enjoy and she was right about everything. Top tier hospitality! I can’t recommend this place enough. Incredible food, excellent beer, and a warm and inviting atmosphere create the perfect night out. We came in from out of town and it was just what we needed. Thank you! We will be back!
Great brewery in Monterrey. Great location with a 5 min walk to fisherman’s wharf. Excellent beer options, Hazy and IPA choice’s were great. Had the Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich, well cooked but did lack a level of spice I would expect. Fish and chips that our guests had were excellent. Place was busy but service was quick. Highly recommend.
