Alvarado Street Brewery - Monterey

Our Alvarado St. experience included the overall package. Great food, great music, excellent customer service friendly staff, plus more than fair prices! 5 stars for Alvarado st. Brewery. Listen to me when I tell you this place has the last word on chicken sandwiches.?

Service is great! Very good mood in Friday night. Food is decent for late night dinner. They serve their own beer. Very light and lady like. I really like it. We had kicked pizza and Calamari. It's a great place to talk loud and enjoy the late night out. The restaurant is modern. Many young people.

After we had taken some fruit from the peasant market right in front of us, we saw the high ratings for this place and gave him an attempt. The beer was good, but we regret the food. If you like to drown food in sauce, you like it. We ordered their most popular items, thought sales would be good. Overall, the food was too heavy, dripping with sugary, oily sauces, so you could not really see or taste the meat. The fried food was so oily and greasy, the coating slipped off directly. We had to double check, there was no mistake with the all spicy Bretzel bc they saw as simple Mini Baguettes, type like the free Olive Garden reels (has not had to one in 20 years, so not sure if they were still) but wash with a pastry silk. Service was not available. Since it was empty, except for another table in the front, and we also had several bags of peaches and apricots (which we let them know), we asked ourselves why we had a tiny table for two all on the back where servers chat and folding napkins. The size of the table was large enough if you had only beer and a small starter. Right next to us were several large four people tables and stands, of which everyone would have been comfortable as we ordered late lunch / fast dinner. When we were almost finished, we realized that they allow non-service dogs in the interior (as someone who loves animals and took care of several different pets during my life) what we think is unsanitary.

A solid brewery with excellent beer. Great mood and family-friendly. The Mai Tai IPA is AMAZING, and the service was excellent with very friendly waiting staff. I had the lambburger and it was excellent, it was like a gyro, but on a bungalow. However, the pizzas left much to be desired as they were lukewarm and similar in quality to a chain pizza. We arrived on a Saturday evening, so expected a long wait, but it took only about 20 minutes to sit. If you are in the area and something other than seafood with some amazing brews, definitely check out this place.

We had a lamb burger and a sea bass. Wish had little more fries. The sea bass was exceptional ? Beer was great as well. Our server was amazing! We had a great time in this restaurant. Even the restaurant was very busy the drinks and food were served promptly. Highly recommend!!
