I came here for lunch the day before father's day with my son and wife. I have been here before, and I love the atmosphere. We ordered potato skins, bacon cheese burger, Kansas City strip steak, asparagus in hollandaise sauce and macaroni and cheese along with various drinks. When we arrived I was quite hungry by design, we ordered and received our cocktails promptly. The potato skins arrived shortly, we were disappointed that there was only 4, but they did taste good. The rest of our food did not arrive for 30 minutes. My son had the bacon cheese burger, he liked it, and I had the last couple of bites and it was delicious and high quality, meat was excellent and the bacon peppered. The steak was awesome. The asparagus was exceptional and a good value. The macaroni and cheese was ok, maybe it would taste better once it cooled down. I noticed for lunch that nearly everyone was getting sandwiches or soup/chili. read more

I highly recommend calling to make reservations in advance. I have never been here where it is not at least a little busy (and for good reason). Also, a common question I get is don't you have to be playing or staying at the resort or live there to eat here, but all restaurants at Pebble Beach and along 17-Mile-Drive are open to the general public (but if you are staying here, just know you could probably eat at The Tap Room every day of your stay and have something different - and enjoy it all). The ambiance is really nice for all. You can definitely dress up and make it a night out, but a lot of golfers come in with their shorts, polos, and baseball caps right after playing, so it is not required to be dressed incredibly formally. I have always been comfortable in nice jeans and a shirt and have been visiting since I was a child. The menu is expansive, but not huge. The issue really is that everything on there is appealing. I was tempted to try the Wagyu, but decided not to. Most recently when I visited, I wanted something more focused on protein and veggies (I had recently eaten a lot of carbs - even for me who loves bread and pasta - and wanted something lighter), so I ended up trying the chicken dish, not expecting much, but figuring it would be decent. I was so wrong, as decent is a severe understatement. The flavor seeped through every bit of chicken, not just where the skin was, but the whole chicken. It was also pan-seared, and the crust that created at the bottom was amazing. The garlic cheese bread (yes, I did still need to get some bread in) was wonderful with roasted garlic cloves on it. No one in the group was disappointed in their food, just that no one had room to try more. We had a birthday in our group, and they give a special celebration cake slice for that, which I was lucky enough to try. It was one of the best restaurant desserts I have ever had. Overall, if you want to spoil yourself a little (some of the prices are not too bad), visit The Tap Room. read more

Superior service from the wait staff to management who kindly put on the basketball playoff game and deleted some baseball games that were currently showing. Pumped the bball game on three out of four of the tv's at my request. Only issue it caused was I got confused which direction to look sometimes. Drinks = Yes. The banana infused Makers is extremely good as the drink just has a hint of the fruit. Mai Tai was flammable. Margarita was perfect. Zero cocktail complaints. There was only one downfall, the artichoke. It was drowned in butter to the point that it was not edible. Most other food was a blowout with the following stand outs: * The burger. I ordered with cheese, mushrooms, tomato, onion, avocado, and lettuce on the brioche bun. Flavor was pure. * Beet salad - basalmic had citrus flavors and the salad had plenty of beats with walnuts dotted on top of the beats. Very tasty. * Had the prime rib (not my favorite as it was a bit dry but not impactful enough for a single star beat down) however I would not get it again. I would go with a steak to augment the tail listed next. * The Tail. It was cooked perfectly and was enormous. Nothing not to like there. Overall, do it. read more

Dined there on 19Oct2025. If you don't want to read my experience, recommend avoiding this and go to The Bench or Pèppoli. Those two places are leaps and bounds better than The Tap Room. Both are Pebble Beach restaurants. So I'm not one to make reviews because I don't want to tarnish a place but my wife and I went to the Tap Room for dinner soon after they reopened for renovations. For a place that you would expect quality service for the price you're paying, it was a bad experience. When I tried to make reservations, they wouldn't let me mention it was for my first anniversary - we are locals so we didn't have a place on the resort for them to add these notes to our profile. Anyways, we get there, they place us at the table right next to the main entrance where everyone is checking in, which is a bar area and not in the dining area which had a better ambiance. The chairs were close together so servers and guests were hitting my chair about every 30 seconds. It got annoying. Our waiter didn't greet us or ask if we were visiting the resort, celebrating anything, etc., just handed us the menus and walked away. He'd place our silverware on the table instead of on the mats that were in front of us so just another knock. When we ordered, there was no recommendations given or anything but we knew ahead of time what we wanted. We still would like to hear if there are specials or recommended dishes but that was not the case. When we got the steaks (NY Strip and Tenderloin) they weren't bad in the sense they were the appropriate doneness we asked for (med/med-rare), but it was heavily burnt/charred on the outside so thankfully we got the red wine sauce to cover the flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes and jalapeño cream corn side dishes were really good so definitely get that if you can. Now for dessert. We were celebrating so I wanted to get something. I tell the waiter we're celebrating and would like to get the half order sundae. Comes back 10 minutes later saying they aren't doing that currently after he mentioned they do half orders. I say to my wife, "well it's our first anniversary I'd like do get something" and we get just a scoop of ice cream. The waiter then asked me "oh you're actually celebrating something?" No... I don't just say stuff like that or dress up for my health. He wasn't getting it. We did overhear him also forget that it was the table's beside us birthday celebration. But another table he was super chatty with them so it appears if you are a regular or something that they care but not someone who wants to have a special meal at a steakhouse. I do want to say that the server filling up drinks (younger man) was awesome. He was on it, service with a smile, definitely needed a raise for the service he gave. I talked to the assistant manager of this place afterwards just to tell them it was a bad experience for a first anniversary. I said I'm not trying to get that waiter fired but just make adjustments for the next people who celebrate, that they don't have to have the same experience. Left with a handshake and a card to call for future reservations. Nothing comped or anything. I wasn't looking for that either but for a place like Pebble Beach, I'd expect better service to their customers. read more

Terrible. They are doing renovations & instead of shutting down they crowded tables into the lounge area & cooking out of makeshift kitchen. Despite the awful environment & substandard food dishes they charge same prices. I'm sure kitchen staff tries their best & servers doing their best but management didn't do their best. The experience was awful with Terrible seating & affected everything. Dont recommend as they fleece you for a buck & really don't deliver. Nor do they care read more

We decided to stop by here and grab a bite during the 17 mile drive. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very nice hostess and she sat us down at a table on the back patio. All the tables were 6 ft apart, and the area were shielded off with clear plastic to block the wind. They have a nice selection of cocktail and beer options. No beer on tap though which is strange since it's a "Tap Room". We ordered 2 Sculpins and the tap room platter to share. The platter had a nice combination of appetizers - potato skins, Buffalo wings, fried shrimp, and fried calamari accompanied with 4 different dipping sauces. The wings and potato skins were delicious! The fried foods, however, were mediocre. The batter didn't really stick, so as I picked up the shrimp, pieces of the batter started to come off. The had a large TV set up on the patio so it would be nice to watch sports here. Overall, food was okay and place was definitely overpriced for what it is. read more

Welcome to Pebble Beach. Now that I prefaced this review with that you know you're in for something special. I had the New York Style Reuben. It was possibly the best tasting Reuben I've ever had. There was something different from a typical Reuben. I can't describe what it was but it was AMAZING! Then for dessert I had to have the southern coconut cake. Delicious and huge! What a wonderful lunch! The person that took care of me was Patricia. Delightful, friendly and attentive. Exactly what a professional server should aspire to. I arrived shortly after it opened so there wasn't the typical full restaurant din. But the dining area has the feel of the glory days when Hope and Crosby were hanging out here. If you're making the trip to the St. Peter's Basilica of golf do yourselves a favor and have a meal in the Tap Room. You won't be sorry! read more

Had a reservation for 8:45pm, got there early and was seated, only to be ignored for 30 minutes straight. We eventually walked out, because no acknowledgment for that long in a restaurant where you're expected to pay triple digits for steak is actually insane. It wasn't even busy. Absolutely disappointing service, don't bother unless you're old, white, a golfer, or willing to die waiting for service or anyone to speak to you. read more

Listen this place gives cafeteria vibes or hospital cafeteria vibes only with a little golf course view but zero view of the ocean and snobby hostess, no tablecloths and gave no vibes of fine dining so I ended up leaving why would I eat here when there are so many better options, I had to do a hard pass, left this place and went to Roy's instead it's a about a 10 minute drive from here but well worth it, for the same food and drink prices you get more ambiance, tablecloths and a Oceanview and good fine dining vibes. read more

Came here for dinner our first night in pebble beach and had an amazing dinner. I'm a big french onion soup lover and this one was amazing! The crispy onion on top were a delicious touch! The steak is also a must, my husband got the Kobe beef with salt board and side of truffle butter and it was one of the best steaks I have ever had! We had the bourbon pecan bread pudding for dessert and we all loved it as well. Overall everything was amazing and I loved the relaxed/bar vibes here. read more

My family went in for dinner on Monday, January 6th. The nine of us were greeted by Maria, the hostess, who immediately sat us (at a table I had requested), not always guaranteed. The waiter assistant, Juan greeted us, and brought waters right away. Right after that our waiter, Nick arrived. He wished us all well, took our drink orders and returned a few minutes later. We started with their platter of calamari, chicken wings, shrimp & potato skins (fabulous!) Most of the family ordered the prime rib, which is second to none. My son had the Sand Dabs, which are amazing. Known as a chop house, I still ordered the Sea Bass, which I'd have again. We love the atmosphere in the back and over all, was a great experience for my family and in-laws Can't wait to return read more

There are many things for tourists to see and do while visiting Monterey. So when you go on that "must see" 17-Mile drive along the scenic California coastline, don't forget to stop at the Pebble Beach Golf course Lodge. There are several exclusive shops, bars, and restaurants. We wanted to mingle with and see what the upper class life was about, even if it was for a few hours. So we made the choice of splurging and taking a break at The Tap Room. It is located inside the hotel known as The Lodge. We were lucky to find a couple of seats at the bar. Our bar tender was nice and attentive as she helped us make choices on what beverages would quench our thirsts after a long drive of exploring. Joe K ordered a Casamigos Tequila shot while I received a specialty cocktail called the "Summer Sparkle". It was sweet, fruity, and hit the spot. It was even pretty to look at with the added flowers and I almost didn't want to spoil it's beauty by drinking this unique creation! The lounge was nice inside and designed as a sports bar with (of course) golf playing on most of the over head TV's. The restaurant is connected nearby, but you can eat in the bar area if you so choose. While I'm sure we would have enjoyed ending our long day here with food and drinks, just the bill of $50.00 for 2 drinks put a strain on our vacation budget! Oh well, as Joe mention's in his review, you can't have a memorable vacation without a few indulgences now and then! read more

The Tap Room is hands-down, the best steakhouse in all of Monterey peninsula. The food, the atmosphere, the bar, and the staff are all world class. We always start with a cocktail and a couple of appetizers. Then we move on to their world-class selection of meats and wines. This place NEVER disappoints. Trust me. Also know that everyone thinks that it is impossible to get a reservation here, but it's not true. Many times we will come and put our names in and head to the bar and get a table with in under 20 minutes. Its my wife and I favorite place for dinner. Anytime we have special guests in town we bring them here!! read more

While enjoying the 17 - Mile Scenic Drive we stopped at the Tap Room for a snack and a beverage. The setting was everything I expected it to be in at such an iconic location. We sat at the bar so we did not have to wait for a table. The service was impeccable while we were there and items were well priced considering it is at Pebble Beach. They had a great selection of drinks and the bartenders were very well trained on their menu and offered wonderful suggestions based on your tastes. read more

Came here for dinner on our last night at Pebble Beach Resorts. The service and food were outstanding. We shared the prime rib chili. It had good flavor would like more meat than beans next time. My husband got the 10 oz Kobe Black Filet. It comes with a finishing salt board from Big Sur Salt Co. and I got the 8 ox Prime Filet. Both were so tender and melted in your mouth. The finishing salts really set them off. We split the mashed potatoes which were so creamy and delicious. Can't wait to come back next time! read more

Ambiance is awesome. We always come here at some point during our stays. Food is above average. Service is great. I've gotten the prime rib twice because I love prime rib in general.

Located in the Lodge of the beautiful Pebble Beach Golf Course. The Tap Room is considered the 19th hole. They were setting up for the ATT golf tournament so the view was not the normal.

Besides the obvious beauty of our surroundings, it was our bartender Michael that made our lunch experience so worth while. A wonderfully crafted MargaritaS and a nice Blind Pig selection on draft. We decided to share a bowl of the artichoke soup to start. It was creamy with great flavor and served piping hot in a good size bowl. Our lunch consisted of a bowl of the Prime Rib Chili served with toasted corn bread which came was highly recommended by a local regular and of course ordered the Tap Room Burger. Everything was perfect and worth the visit. read more

I've been to the Tap Room (the defacto 19th Hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links), several times. However, that was before I started Yelping. They offer surf and turf, not unlike the fancy steak chains. To start, I had a bowl of the French onion soup. TR has one of the best versions bc it is loaded w/ onions and the broth is a deep brown from being simmered for 12 hours. The croutons and cheese made it all come together with the sweetness of the onions, and saltiness of the cheese: 5 Stars. For my main, I had the kobe filet ($82), while others had the ribeye ($72), and prime rib. For our sides, we had onion string and asparagus. My steak was very good. However, I would have preferred a New York cut that has more fat. The filet doesn't have much fat, and as a result is less flavorful: 4 Stars. Nonetheless, I had a bite of the ribeye and it was excellent. I didn't want a whole one bc it was 22 oz vs my 8 oz filet, but the taste was awesome. It also had minimal inedible fat: 5 Stars. The sides were both very good and sufficient for 4 people to share. The strings were hot & crispy, and the asparagus fresh & crunchy: 4 Stars. As if we didn't have enough to eat, I had the signature 7-layer coconut cake ($13), while my rellies shared 1/2 sundae that comes w/ a chocolate chip cookie ($15). The full version of the latter is a sight to see and comes in an oversized martini glass. My cake was silky smooth and packed w/ coconut in the frosting. Likewise, the sundae was gobbled up. My rellies said they could have eaten the full portion: Both 5 Stars. Regarding the ambiance, its old skool with wood and rolls showing who had played at the numerous U.S. Opens at Pebble Beach. Interestingly enough, the U.S. Open is in 2019, as it was the last time I played Pebble Beach in 2010. BTW, it is Pebble's 100th Anniversary this year: 5+++++ Stars. Likewise, the service from Mark and his team was friendly & attentive. We were constantly being attended to: 5 Stars. I always make it a point to stop by the Tap Room when I'm in the area, even if I don't play Pebble Beach. 17 mile drive ends at the Pebble Beach Lodge where TR is located. In addition, there are separate men's and women's shops to buy your gear. I just love the nostalgia of this iconic place. read more

Wow! This place was hyped up to us by a friend and it did not disappoint! Such cool swanky vibes upon entering. We ordered the heirloom tomato panzanella salad and the calamari for appetizers, and they were delicious. Best calamari I've had - smooth flavor and soft, not at all chewy. We ordered prime rib and filet mignons and they were seriously outstanding. Sides of mushrooms and green beans were fabulous additions! The bread pudding was ridiculous, and we saw the sundae ordered at the table near us and that looked over the top, as well! Really sweet place to share a meal!!! read more

Let me start by saying the staff is super respectful. I initially went to for a dish I saw on the Monterey magazine. I salivated over a steak and marrow picture. I haven't had bone marrow since my trip to Florence, Italy. Unfortunately the dish I saw was seasonal and well the season was way over. According to my server and I forgot his name but he was just amazing respectful and kind Latino young man. Well then I had to reconsider my selection after the hostess went to check at the Stillwater restaurant. Anyhow, today was not a complete disappointment. I was considering the prime rib French dip vs the sand dabs sandwich. My server suggested French dip with onions and mushrooms. Mmmm hmmmm mmmm I didn't leave anything on the plate. I also ordered 1/2 a plate of beet salad, which was delectable. Best place to eat after hitting 15 landmarks on the 17 mile drive. The restaurant was very pleasant and inviting. Will come again. Hope, next time I get me some marrow. read more

After playing a difficult but amazing round at poppy hills we needed to relax and get some much needed dinner!!! The tap room is located just before the main entrance to pebble beach and offers a wide menu but if I had to categorize it... After golf food!! Chicken wings, potato skins, calamari & artichoke hearts!!! You almost had us just ordering appetizers everything looked so good! We ended up starting g with the artichoke, small but perfect! And the burger was fantastic, they hooked up a perfect lettuce wrap and no added salt! Thank you! My wife's ribs were maybe the highlight - crisp golden outside with a Diablo bbq sauce this dish was spectacular but not selling my burger short this one was a grand slam. The pebble beach manhattan was a spot on perfect Manhattan and so delicious. The meal was delicious and the service even better, but you would expect that at pebble beach..

My husband had the wedge salad and the full rack of bbq ribs. It came with crispy shoestring potatoes and cole slaw. I had the roasted beet salad and a bowl of the artichoke soup. The soup was hot and tasty and the beet salad was yummy. I only wish the soup had some chunks of artichoke heart like an artichoke soup I used to get at a restaurant long ago. I had a Bombay sapphire martini and it was perfect! Our service was top notch. We completed our dinner with half of the Tap room sundae. It had two scoops of vanilla ice cream, brûléed bananas, chocolate chip cookie chunks and hot fudge, topped with whipped cream. Need I say more? We will definitely return, next time with the Ang! The outdoor dining was fun. Great atmosphere! Loop read more

Decided to visit The Taproom after a late lunch at Sticks, to try their Southern Coconut Cake. There was an influx of guest. Monday night football was starting and we decided maybe we would stay and have an app. We requested the menu back and Drew our waiter, told us that a 6 o'clock reservation was coming up. We we're basically being asked to move along. We were a bit confused as we already had a table and had no idea that a reservation was required when we walked in. No one advised us that we had a limited time for seating. It was a complete turn off and now ending on a negative note, as there were clearly open tables in addition to bar stools. I've never had such a distasteful experience at any of the Pebble Beach locations in the past. We were quite disappointed and embarrassed that we where treated in such a manner. The table next to us were very nice and must've heard the comment as they had shared that they had to make a reservation in the past and were surprised that we secured a table. I figured it was because it was a Monday evening. If your going to try this place definitely make a reservation so your not treated like a 2nd class citizen. read more

A day of taking pictures along the ocean can certainly make you thirsty so it is only natural that you would stop at the Tap Room at the Lodge and drop fifty bucks on a couple of drinks. I had a shot of Casamigos Tequila with a glass of ice water and Ida had some sweet kind of drink that she loved. The country musician next to us at the bar had one of those sweet drinks too and seemed to enjoy it as well. So what is this really about? It is about being on vacation and being a tourist and doing things you normally would not do like drop fifty bucks on two drinks at the Lodge while meeting and enjoying the company of other wonderful people that would not normally drop fifties bucks on a couple of drinks. We would not have missed it for the world. read more
