Fantastic family-friendly spot with great beer and healthy options!…read more We visited Monterey for a family trip and stayed at the Portola Hotel. This brewery was just a short walk away, and it was the perfect find! The staff were incredibly friendly and upbeat, making us feel welcome right away. They were especially great with our kids. We tried a flight of 9 different local craft beers, and every single one was delicious. Plus, the prices were very reasonable for the quality! The food was a pleasant surprise. Usually, brewery food can be quite heavy, but they had plenty of vegetable options. It felt great to have a healthy meal that was still seasoned perfectly to pair with the beers. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

We ordered the wings, pretzel, and birria tacos. All were delicious, generously portioned, and only $10 each. I usually go for one of their sour beers, but this time I decided to try a couple of their happy hour cocktails: the I Lychee Like That and Trader JC's Mai Tai. Both were refreshing. If you're in the area, their happy hour runs Monday-Thursday from 3-5 PM and is well worth a visit!

The halibut special was mouthwatering, and according to our son, he would eat the ribs daily. Our daughter ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and it could have fed an army. For dessert we tried the skillet cookie and mousse, and once again, and they were delicious. If food is good but the service is mediocre, it ruins the entire experience. However, the staff checked on us about every two minutes, and even brought a small dish of water and extra napkins for our son who was eating ribs. We'll be back...very soon. Come here and support this fantastic eatery.

Super bad attitude and very slow service, even on a day when it wasn't busy…read more We used to love coming here with our friends, but sadly we were really disappointed with the staff's attitude today. They didn't seem to care about the guests at all. We waited a very long time even for our drinks, which has never happened to us here before. It took a long time for someone to take our order, and the food took an extremely long time to come out. Meanwhile, we could see the staff laughing and chatting while doing nothing. No one apologized or even said sorry. We wanted to support locals. But we'll just go somewhere else next time.

I give the chowder a solid thumbs up and the BLT was delicious. This is a no frills pub with the decoration to match and I highly recommend stopping in if you have the chance .

The ambience is fantastic,…read moredimly lit with great music and TVs everywhere, the kind of place I'd love to come back to and watch a game. Service was excellent. Our waitress Rachel was great and took good care of us. We ordered the French dip (added Swiss, onions, and mushrooms) solid sandwich, though it could've used a touch more salt. The real star though, was the fish and chips. Genuinely some of the best I've ever had. Lightly battered, flaky, perfectly cooked. The vibe lands in that sweet spot of upscale casual without crossing into fine dining, comfortable but elevated. Highly recommend if you're passing through Carmel. We'll definitely be back.

The fish and chips is the ultimate meal. The burger was savory, soft and creamy just he right amount. It perfectly paired with the Talbott pinot noir they recommended. The only comment is make is the amount of French fries that were served with the burger. The plate was a lot larger looking because a sparse amount of fries was served alongside. Maybe add a little more next time just to balance it off. The servers/bartenders knew their stuff. They provided what they could in terms of what was popular and well liked. They said both items we ordered were the most popular. The fish and chips have won best fish and chips 3 years in a row. I would agree with this since I usually am not wowed with this dish. I couldn't resist ordering a dessert. The applied tart with vanilla ice cream was so satisfying. Overall service, food quality and experience was very good. If return over and over again for this same food and experience. If I could give 10 stars I would. Carmel and Brody's is a new destination.

We stopped by here on this past New Years Eve briefly. I randomly found this spot on Yelp while I…read morewas searching for places to try since we were having a little getaway for NYE in Monterey. 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.

Its hidden in a residential area Which makes it feel like a secret location. I don't know why I haven't written a review before. This time our waitress was a little rough around the edges something I haven't seen here before, but it wasn't a big deal. Burgers: Always great at Duffys. Star of the show! Juicy, flavorful and a solid go-to. And I forgot to take a photo! Onion rings: Perfect not oily, light, and crispy. Chicken wings: Came out dark and really oily this visit. Not quite right but hey, it happens. Chicken tenders: Everyone's favorite kid-friendly. A solid, safe bet for the table. Chili cheese fries: First time trying and they were pretty decent. Mozzarella sticks: Had zero cheese pull. Zero. Zip. Nada. Jalapeño poppers: Forgettable. Atmosphere: Cool and comfy. We comfortably played a family game at our table. The beers kept coming, and football was on a Sunday afternoon. Verdict: We'll be back! The good moments (burgers, rings, tenders, vibe) outweigh the little humor from a rough-around-the-edges waitress just reminds me that dining out is a human experience
