Dust Bowl Brewing Co.
290 Figueroa St., Monterey

Set back off the street in a former train depot on Monterey’s waterfront, Dust Bowl Brewing Co. announces itself with understated elegance: A neon sign, not too big, laid across the depot’s shingle roof. Day or night, it’s right there, an illuminated hint of possibility. Dust Bowl is a waterfront gathering place, often splashed in sunshine, and the picnic tables in the patio out back allow for all manner of parlor games to enjoy with a beer – dice, cards, Jenga, you name it. And being just a stone’s throw from the Rec Trail, Dust Bowl is also a great place to invent a people-watching game. The possibilities are endless.
