Alvarado Street Brewery - Monterey, California

Came here on a recommendation from our hotel front desk worker. The food and their beers were great! Must try restaurant. I absolutely liked the calamari appetizer with Thai curry dipping sauce. The fish and chips was also among my favorites! Tried their beer flight and really liked numbers 1, 2, 3 and 5! (Check the pics for the beer info as numbered on the list!)

We really liked the space and ambience. It was too cold the day we were there to sit outside but it looked really nice. Service was friendly and timely. Seemed like a mix of locals and tourists dining for a weekday lunch. Food was good but could definitely be improved. Prices are high and portion sizes don’t match for some meals (fish and chips especially). Fish was excellent and burger was good. Steak sandwich was very fresh and well cooked but needs more spice and flavor. Chicken sandwich was too dry. Fries are good. Would definitely return to try other things.

Amazing finding of this brewery.! We just loved the food and drinks, simple amazing and worth for its price.

Parking is little difficult as it’s in the prime area. But inside the brewery it’s simple fabulous 👍 much recommended one for brewery lovers

Went at about 8 pm for a quick bite. Mondays special was a burger, fries, and a beer for $15. Best $15 I spent in California during our trip. The burger tasted great, the fries were hot, and the beer was cold. We sat next to the kitchen, and they were pumping out food fresh and fast. Definitely worth another trip next time we are in Monterey.

I am a total beer snob and I have to tell you how awesome their beer is here. I had 6 different beers and all were above average for microbrewery standards. This was absolutely a highlight of the area and I would definitely go out of my way to travel back here. Bartender Brian was super knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you!

Started with saying we will need to wait for 30 minutes for outside seating when multiple tables available outside. That would be my only issue. If you were short staff I’d understand, telling me you are full and me seeing the available seating doesn’t look truthful.

Atmosphere is really nice relaxing good for everyone.

Food was cooked great I recommend the chicken tortillas soup and burger!

For sure they have a large section of craft beers made by them and some other locals ones, but the food and dining experience here is fabulous. The menu is much more extensive than the typical brewery and the food has some good character and flavor to it. They have sit down service - the few times I've eaten here the waiter was respectful and efficient with ordering, accommodating, and serving the food. I recommend this brewery's dining function to those who are in a group of people 2-6 maybe 8. Of all of the items I have ordered here my favorites have been the birria tacos and tomato soup(soup varies depending on the day).

My first time visiting Alvarado Street and was warmly welcomed by our waitress Taylor, she provided such great service. She was so warm and friendly. She was attentive to us and made sure everything was good and that we were happy. Thank you Taylor for giving me such a positive experience. The smoked chicken wings and the special ahi tuna poke was so delicious! I will definitely recommend this place and come again!
