Pearl Hour - Katie Blandin
214 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey
They say nothing good happens after 10pm. But who the hell are they, anyway? Poker is best during smoky, late-night sessions. Dungeons & Dragons can drag on into the wee hours. And cocktails at Pearl Hour in Monterey – just three examples of how “they” are wrong, with the last being the most compelling. That’s because Katie Blandin and her team craft cocktails using quality spirits and ingredients they grow or make themselves. If there’s a bitter or shrub, it’s their doing. These are striking and balanced drinks. And the cocktail menu changes with the seasons. Plus, Pearl Hour draws a late crowd. So yes, something very good happens after 10pm.
