We came here after the farmers market to enjoy a beer and thought about getting some food. While…read morewe were sitting outside there was a group of young teenagers also in the outdoor seating area and they were being absolutely obnoxious. Why there was a group of teenagers sitting at an area where they serve alcohol without a parent around baffled me. Because they were so obnoxious, we decided to just finish our drink and go somewhere else to eat. As we were getting ready to leave, one of the teenagers threw their drink out onto the walkway right in front of a couple walking past. The couple made a comment, something about them littering. Well, these feral teenagers then proceed to yell obscenities and be completely disrespectful and disgusting, Telling the woman that she's hella old and calling the man a P*ssy". I couldn't believe what I was watching. These kids wanted to fight this couple who were just trying to walk on the walkway. Why are these kids allowed to patron a bar and grill without parents around?! But then it got even more disturbing when a large man from the tattoo shop came out and also began yelling at the woman. Telling her that's his nephew and to leave the property. The woman tried to explain what happened and he just continued to bully her and yell at her just as the disrespectful teenagers were doing. Not one time did this couple say or do anything to deserve being yelled at! What has happened to Hollister? Why are these businesses letting kids act like this in their establishments and defending such horrible behavior? We will not be coming back to this place and I do not recommend the tattoo shop next door.

The bartender was very chummy with them, but she was also friendly to me and extremely professional. I sat outside because the inside vibe from the other customers had been so weirdly unwelcoming. The front outdoor seating area was very pleasant and well done with the sun shades and umbrellas. They seemed short staffed, no waitstaff. The bartender juggled covering the outdoor dining area and the bar fairly well, so kudos to her on that! I got a steak sandwich ($19). I was expecting sliced steak, so was a bit surprised to receive a solid slab of steak on a bun. It was good -- steak was tender enough, cooked to the specified level of doneness and seasoned appropriately. Wish the bartender'd mentioned during ordering that side salad was an upcharge ($1.50). Side salad was about what I expected, for a bar. Basic, no-frills, solid American food. If it weren't for the other customers, I'd come here again.

The bartender that made our drinks, didn't tonic and bloody mary, was super personable and asta's general questions about where we were from and how we were spending our day today. We let her know that we're from the Sacramento area here for a wedding and she was all excited and said that we had a perfect day to come visit for a little bit before having to head to our wedding event. More than anything this place is meant for a good time. Come in with good vibes, big smile, and cash cuz it's a cash bar only, and you will have an amazing time. So happy that we stumbled upon this as we were right next door getting sandwiches for late lunch. Highly recommend swinging by this bar and having a good time.

I'm extremely disappointed with how we were treated. We've been regular customers, and this…read moreexperience completely changed how we view this place. Someone in our group took a photo behind the bar, and instead of handling the situation professionally, the bartender immediately became rude and escalated things. We were asked to leave, which is one thing--but what made the situation worse was that my card was still swiped and we were never served any drinks. After that, the bartender continued talking about us and involved another bartender, which turned into an unnecessary scene and got us kicked out. The interaction felt disrespectful, targeted, and completely unprofessional. If there was an issue with taking a picture, that could have been communicated respectfully instead of creating a hostile situation. As regulars, we expected better treatment and better customer service.

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.

Can't wait to be back and visit the new location. What a Christmas 2025 this was. This is also a pet friendly bar! (: Thanks for such a great vibe our first Xmas Parker You're such a great host!

Best place to spend your time in Carmel (between golfing & gallery hopping)…read more If you want to feel local-ish, go here. I drove hundreds of miles for this place. (You should too.) Parker (the owner) is the real deal--passionate, witty, sometimes sarcastic, and genuinely fun. The cozy bar is surrounded by ever-changing photos, art, and laugh-out-loud signage. Stories live here: wall to wall, corner to corner, and everywhere in between. Locals and travelers exchange stories, play dice or cards. The drinks are beautifully basic--three ingredients, one of them ice. No fancy nonsense--just premium pours, neat or on the rocks. *And now the gut punch: they're being forced to close the same month they're celebrating their 100-year anniversary. The new building owners don't seem to care about the character and legacy of Carmel, the devotion of a fourth-generation owner, or what it means to lose a place that's thrived for a century. It's heartbreaking--for locals and travelers alike. Go while you still can. Last call, and cheers to everyone who's loved this place--"where everybody knows your name." XX

Turns out it is full of locals who are friendly and will even recommend good places to chak out in the area. (Coming for you, Butter House). Turns out it is great place, diverse crown, men and women, two pool tables, cheap drinks, good pours. I'll be back.
