Alvarado Street Brewery
426 Alvarado St., Monterey, (831) 655-2337, asb.beer
It follows that if you are going to see and be seen, you’re also bound to be heard. So listen up. There are a lot of eyes on you. Alvarado Street Brewery’s original location is a popular spot. (There are two others – in Carmel and Salinas – and a fourth location coming soon, as of this writing.) Guests are close, in a good mood and talkative – particularly out in the beer garden. Great beer is flowing, so words are going to follow. We can’t tell you just what you’ll overhear, but if you are craving some attention from others, this is the place to blurt out something like “So I told him ‘look Brad, you paid $40 million for the house. Are you telling me you have no money left for movers? I’m not helping you carry furniture. Do it yourself, Pitt.’”
