I'm a firm believer in supporting local businesses and keeping our Old Town vibrant, which is why…read moreour group chose The Pour House for a social with 30+ people -- some traveling from Soledad and the Monterey Peninsula to enjoy our Downtown Salinas! We covered drinks in honor of Boss's Day. Service was ok -- the couple running the place were attentive, though they preferred to point you to QR codes over talking directly to you (not my favorite). Unfortunately, the customer service judgment was a bit poor. When we politely asked to lower the music briefly for a short announcement, we were told it "wouldn't be fair to other customers." There were only a few others there, five perhaps and not deeply engaged in listening to music. A small act of courtesy could've gone a long way. Old Town Salinas thrives when businesses and community support each other.

We came for a pre-dinner drink. The server (owner?) was also very sweet and was helping us look up places to have dinner nearby. They have a huge selection of beers, ciders, seltzers, etc. My partner got a kombucha, and I just got a non-alcoholic light beer. The interior is like, industrial chic? Is that a thing? In any case, I like.

While they don't have food you can bring your own food in and there's board games aplenty and they had bar trivia going on during my visit. The host tried to get me to sign onto the app-that's how it started but I arrived too late so he gave me a hard copy answer sheet and let me play a round. Service was good, they let me take my time in ordering a beer and were quick to cash me out when I got paged. I'd like to come back and experience it in full.

A couple of friends and me took the opportunity to stop by on our drive back to LA from the Bay Area (along the 101). First impression: one of those convivial breweries with a thriving locals aspect and vibe. Friends I was with are really into craft beer, so we felt right at home. The folks here were super friendly and welcoming. As a matter of fact, there were some cookies made from another regular that was offered to us while we were there. And those cookies were delish. They have a good variety of styles on draft, but I opted for the BA Barleywine, which was excellent. They also had the football games playing on the TV there so there was that sports bar aspect without being to crowded/ crazy. This place is located in an industrial area of Salinas. We didn't have a problem at all finding parking. Love their beers and love this spot. I would definitely hit it up more if I was able.

Not NYC good but better than most CA pizza which is just California over dramatized as I like to put it. We also had The friend cauliflower and broccoli which was also delicious and a yummy. Again really surprised. The beer is good and very potent...2X or greater compared to other beers. I like it. It I have had seriously better but their beer is no slouch either. Service was good albeit slow at the bar. Seems they are one short if they are going to heavy food service at the bar but it was a Friday. The barista was nice though and nice goes a long way in any occasion. Ambiance is. Ice and it was definitely an old, old bank with vaulted ceilings. I absolutely love wide open areas and this placed used the space really well which made for comfy yet spacious feeling. Well done. Nothing I could really find wrong. I liked it and it was really nice. Definitely worth a visit but parking can be an issue in busy weekends.

My boss and coworkers have been raving about this place for the longest time, and I finally decided to come check it out for myself during lunch. Safe to say, I completely understand the hype now and I don't regret it one bit! I ordered the fries with steak bites and they were absolutely delicious. Now here's the thing , I am not a dessert person. I almost never order dessert anywhere I go, but something told me to give the brownie a try, and wow, I am so glad I did. Finger licking good doesn't even begin to cover it. That alone is worth the trip! But what really made the experience stand out was my server, Jasmine A . She was a solid 10 out of 10 incredibly friendly, attentive, and just an overall joy to be served by. I am someone who takes customer service very seriously, and Jasmine is exactly the kind of energy every restaurant needs more of. She genuinely made the whole experience even better. If you're reading this and on the fence about coming don't hesitate. The food is amazing, the service is top tier, and it is absolutely worth every single penny. This won't be my last visit, that's for sure!

I'm 46 years old. I've been to a lot of bars in my life, some of the "diviest" bars in America…read more There is a lady that bartends at night at the Kings Den that is one of the absolute worst bartenders I've ever experienced in my entire life. Zero bartending etiquette. She argues with patrons, she argues with her coworkers, I honestly don't really even know why she works there. The other guy has to tolerate her, and they appear to argue in front of patrons - it's not cute. He just stands there, staring at patrons as they sit waiting for drinks while the line gets longer and longer. Bartending is clearly not their jam. They have no signature cocktails, and the cocktails they do make are pretty bad. The karaoke is pretty egregious, it's like a guy who likes to sing poorly decided he wanted to set up karaoke just so he had a reason to sing sometimes and make other people listen to it. It's a dive bar, which in itself isn't bad. But it's like if you were driving through the bad part of Bakersfield and said "this place looks cool" and then stopped for a drink and then realized that it's Bakersfield but it's not. It's actually Salinas. You go here because you NEED to, because there's nothing else open, and then when this place closes you go to Jaime's. It's the second worst Salinas has to offer, and I'm saying that with optimism.

And here is the rundown- *Passion Fruit, Other Fruit, 5.8% ABV 10/10, Delicious! *Faction Red-Red Ale, 5.8% ABV 8/10, Slightly bitter upon first sip but smoother as you drink more. *Lager from Occidental 4.2% 10/10 Super light and fresh and refreshing. Also, fun! *Funky Foeder Cherry Sour Ale from Russian River. 7% ABV If you are not a sour fan you may not like this one. But I personally loved it! Next I enjoyed a half serve of Hazed and Confused IPA Hazy out of Paso Robles. 6% ABV. 10/10 Delicious. Originally I was hoping to find Socks and Sandals from Humble Sea but the server said they have a hard time keeping that in stock and recommended this one. 100% reminded me of that flavor. Plenty of cans to choose from and a food truck showing up as I was leaving. Loads of parking here too. Highly recommend having a DD or of course NOT driving after coming here. I suggest a walk around the neighborhood and enjoying all the murals. Enjoy life and drink good beer. Cheers! SYOY!
