Terrific service from the manager and team. I came Sunday mid day during a rush it seems. The lines…read morewere incredibly long BUT fast moving. I would say there was at least 15 people in front of me and several more people behind. Even though the lines were long I didn't mind because there was a girl that was putting out fresh samples the entire time and even the lemonades! They were delicious especially the strawberry lemonade and pizza nuggets. My family enjoyed the free samples that helped us choose what to order when it was our time so it made it easier for both my family and the workers I'm assuming instead of thinking of what to get. My family and my self ended up ordering the pepperoni bites, cinnamon sugar bites, the mini hot dog bites and then a sweet almond pretzel from a coupon my son got from school a while back! They were all super fresh and we even got some straight out of the oven so they were nice and hot! The drinks were very refreshing not too sweet like some other places. The staff were all so friendly and knew what they were doing! Kudos to this group of young people for managing so well on such a busy weekend.

A quick pivot to change our lunch plans while on holiday in Carmel, CA: ended up being really great…read morefor our party of three. Founded in Monterey in 2014, Alvarado Street Brewery expanded its production and its restaurants to meet demand. This location in the Carmel Plaza Shopping Center opened in 2018, and they do produce beer here, though their main production and canning happens at their original Monterey and expanded Salinas plants. They also have a new beer garden at the new soccer stadium in Marina. We waited around at the mall until it opened at 11:30. Service was excellent all-around, with us being seated right away, and our server, Ian, providing some top-notch recommendations for both food and beer. I asked him about their flights, which were the standard 5 oz pours, and individually priced. But he mentioned that if I ordered their promotional deal (in this case, their Korean-style loco moco), it would come with a flight of their 4 core beers. He had me sold as soon as he said 'loco moco'. Everything came out on-time, and served at the right temperature as appropriate. 4 beer flight (included with loco moco plate) - flagship Monterey Beer (American Light Lager, brewed at their Salinas plant); Pilsner (German-style Pilsner, also brewed at their Salinas plant); Mai Tai (American IPA, Salinas); Howzit Punch (fruited sour, modeled after Hawaiian POG). All of the beers were really good. with the Howzit being the most liked, not only on principle (we really love Hawaii) but also on taste. Korean-Style Loco Moco ($25) - when told that the white rice on a traditional loco moco was being replaced by kimchi fried rice, my original reaction was 'Dang...why didn't I think of that'. It was a beautiful looking dish, for sure. In terms of taste, just OK. The rice wasn't great, and the hamburger patty was OK (a bit dry). But the over-easy egg added a nice level of richness and the gravy fit the dish. The strips of gim (seaweed sheets) was a great touch and appreciated. Roasted Drunken Half Chicken ($33) - another great looking dish: a cut up half chicken with a ton of crisping done on the skin. It came with two dipping sauces (a bbq and a butter based), along with pickled vegetables on the side, and a jalapeno biscuit. My wife loved the biscuit and didn't need the extra butter. The chicken looked dry though, and she confirmed it. The dark meat was OK, but the white meat was very dry, confirming that one needs to use the bbq sauce and the pickled vegetables to counteract that. Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich ($20) - my mother-in-law loved this, and she proved it by eating it all (though it could have something to do with all the walking we did in the morning). I enjoyed the fresh cole slaw (tart with a nice mix of vegetables). And all of us really enjoyed the fries...again proving that food service frozen fries can be marvelous if deep fried (and served) properly. My wife and I both agreed that the Mai Tai PA and Howzit Punch were really good and worth bringing back home so got a 4-pack of each ($16 each). Haven't had a chance to try it at home yet, but will do so when wanting to remember our trip.

Did a flight of 6 beers and they were all so unique and tasty! Also ordered the calamari and it was probably one of the best calamari's I've had.

Everything about the burger was very plain. Would definitely come back to try some more beers!

While my car was in the shop, I wandered around Obama Way because the redevelopment has been amazing. Other Brother is one of the high points in this neighborhood & offers a nice anchor to the smaller storefronts. Seating is designed for groups with large booths or cafeteria-style tables. There's an al fresco option and garage door-style window seating indoors where one can watch the al fresco diners! Overall, fun concept; but not really a friendly place for one person who wants good food, quiet space, and room to read a book. Order before sitting. Menu is small & offers pub-style dining options with a gourmet CA twist. **Special Note: cooking oil is RICE BRAN & it's delicious, so order the tater tots & be prepared to toss out your epi-pen while having your taste buds delighted! The oil must be light, so the tots were crispy with a sweetness that highlighted the potato flavor. OMG... I'm drooling as a write this review & craving more of the rice bran cooking oil tater tots! I had the BLT without mayo (just in case it contained my allergen). The bread, giant butter lettuce leaf, & thick hunks of tomato ensured the the sandwich was moist. The bacon was quite thick & delicious. I don't drink beer, but when in Rome... I ordered the baby beer glassful of beer. Dunno what it was -- something that looked like water & had a few earthy tasting bubbles. It was good. Really good. Great suggestion, Bartender! I had to pick up my meal from the window & was treated to a serenade by the kitchen crew. Lovely. From a health & safety perspective, the design is neat & super clean. Ladies!! Special treat in the bathroom... Other Brother management recognizes our special hygiene needs & offers a basket filled with supplies. OMG! This was better than dessert!! Other Brother loves us. Parking: street parking at no charge, but busy times might mean you have a short walk. The 'hood is nice & very clean. BRING YOUR ID. It's a BEER joint. Don't blame the restaurant staff for doing their job & carding everyone.

When it finally was, both the bartender and several patrons openly complained about it being on. That reaction was not only unnecessary, but it created an uncomfortable and unwelcoming atmosphere. No one should feel like a burden for simply wanting to watch a game in a restaurant setting--especially while seated at the bar, where that's a pretty common expectation. Because of how awkward the situation became, he ended up just ordering a soda and leaving instead of staying for the meal he had planned. It's unfortunate, because we've had better experiences in the past, but this interaction really left a negative impression. I hope management takes this kind of situation seriously and reminds staff that basic courtesy and hospitality go a long way in making guests feel comfortable.
