This was our first time at Crown and Anchor and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We tried the beer batter artichoke appetizer and they were very good. I had a New York steak and my husband ordered the prime rib and everything was delicious. The service was fast and friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was authentic pub. The only very... more

Im a Brit and I made sure I checked this place out when I got to Monterey after seeing all the reviews on this site. It is some place let me tell you and i could not believe some of the English Beers they have here, an incredible choice and to find them on draught was amazing. I had a... more

Okay, so I'm not willing to wait outside a "club" for 45 minutes just to get through the door only to be deafened by crappy music and to meet girls who are probably under age. In Monterey you have few alternatives where a man can meet women, enjoy their company over a quality mixed drink and carry on a conversation;... more

We were warned the tartan carpet was pretty overwhelming, but we weren't expecting the hundreds of boats, plates and other memorabilia on the walls! The service wasn't the best out there, but it was a great experience and the fish and chips were lovely. more

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. The clam chowder is better than any on Fisherman's Wharf. My sand dabs with creamy lemon caper sauce were to die for and my husband's steak over Caesar salad was perfectly cooked... more

We had a great experience at the Crown and Anchor. I never expected to find a very authentic English Pub in the middle of Monterey, CA. The atmosphere was charming, warm and had a great selection of beer. The diversity of people was refreshing and ended up having several conversations with some great folks. The outside deck (where you can... more
