Alvarado Street Brewery is a great place to grab, not only a good drink, but amazing food! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu, and they have an excellent kids menu, as well. My daughter recommends the kids pizza! Out in the beer garden, you can also order food, which is a nice atmosphere.
This brewery may be new to the scene in Monterey, but it is by far the best brewery in the area. The food is top notch and the ever-impressive beer selection is always changing. This is by far my favorite restaurant in the area to grab a beer, have a bite to eat, and chat with a friend.

Post No Bills is so unique! It is a craft brew house, hidden away in Sand City that has the best selection of beers on tap and in the coolers. It is definitely worth a visit if you are a fan of beer (they also offer a variety of hard ciders). Post No Bills also offers flights of beer, which is a good way to try a variety of the beers they have.
