Great place to hang out with your friends. They have a nice outside patio. The bartenders are very prompt considering the amount of traffic. They have numerous beers on draft and their scotch selection is the best in town. A snifter of Macallan 18yr is only $19 bucks compared to $25 at other locations in town. That may only matter... more

We found this place as we walked down the street looking for dinner...what a pleasure! We loved it so much we went both nights we were in Monterey.

We probably eat here more than at any other place in Monterey. The food is good (although it helps to know what to order - we recommend the curries) and the beer is great. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and not overly loud (by pub standards). more

Nothing like turning-in a few hot laps at Laguna Seca then downing a few Boddingtons! more

There are places that are unique and make a positive impression that you'll not forget; such a place is the Crown & Anchor in Monterey. The food selections are British and American and cover a wide spectrum from seafoods to Shepard Pie. The clam chowder is the best with plenty of clams that are not outnumbered by the potatoes in... more
