Phill’s Barbershop
610 Lighthouse Ave. Pacific Grove
(831) 334-0698
Yes, that’s right – it’s two Ls, not one, named after owner Phill Benson, who himself has been known to rock a mullet or three. Steeped in local history (established 1904, when Pit was all the rage; nearly contiguous operation since 1935, the year Parker Brothers began advertising Monopoly), one can only imagine the tens of thousands of conversations that have gone down here, both public and private. Offering traditional barbering services with a capital T, what could be more luxurious than a warm towel followed by a full straight-razor shave of your face (or your head!)?
