Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Monterey, California
Monterey's bar scene reflects its dual identity as a historic fishing port - immortalized in John Steinbeck's "Cannery Row" - and a Central Coast wine destination: BarFinder lists 50 venues here, led by classic bars with a strong winery and pub presence close behind. Real local names like Albatross Ridge Winery & Kitchen and McIntyre Tasting Room anchor the wine side, while spots like Abalonetti Bar and Grill and Silverstone Tavern keep the classic waterfront-town character alive. It's a scene that blends wine-country tasting rooms with a historic coastal-town bar culture.
