Britannia Arms
444 Alvarado St., Monterey | (831) 656-9543, britanniaarmsofmonterey.com
Every Tuesday and Sunday evening, Britannia Arms summons some of the best pipes in Monterey, as well as some of its most eccentric characters. On some nights, the karaoke stars align, and they’re one and the same. Hats off to the Marine who belts a perfect, heart-breaking take of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and shy girls who blow the bar away with Patti Smith’s “Because the Night.”
