The burger and fries came right out and it was top notch. The beer selection was excellent and the wait staff was very friendly and efficient. There’s outside seating in front off the street and there’s a large, comfortable patio in the back. A full bar with counter seating. Definitely a great place for beer, good food and conversation with friends.

I’m a bit mixed on this place overall. I had to eat here a few times before making up my mind to leave a review.

While the beer is solid, the food is just OK. The burgers are dry and honestly not worth the price. If you can’t do burgers right at a brewpub (at this particular price point) you’ve got a problem. The beers are phenomenal though and I highly recommend.

The service is also generally just OK. I went on a busy Saturday night with a friend and we sat at our table in the restaurant for over 30 minutes before we were given water and for a server to greet us at our table. We also had to ask a few times to grab our check which was a bit much. Our busser was good though and made sure we had waters and service throughout our stay.

Atmosphere is genuinely great though. You can see into the brewing area where they make some of the beer and they have tons of space outside with a patio.

Will come back for the beer, but will plan on sitting at the bar next time.

This smaller brewery does not disappoint. The food is amazing, have enjoyed the fish tacos, the pub burger, and just recently their take on the Cuban sandwich (loved it). Whenever I come, I try to have a different beer. And always end my evening with a dessert flight!! Set out on the patio. This lasts last visit and it was a little chilly outside. But they have heater’s out there. They just need to add a couple more making it really comfortable, but I highly recommend this establishment.

Alway trying new places. Hands down, one of the best Eggs Benedict. The other dish I ordered which was Hogs on the Rocks was also of good quality. Will definitely go back

Very much just a brewery-bar with bar food. I had the good fish and great tarter, but just meh chips/fries. Others had an OK burger, some OK Brussels and OK octopus. The reason I say OK was because there was zero “hey, try this” at our table of eight. One person left in the middle to go walk the street fair.

So much for family/friends reunions.

Just ok food, and a nice bar anyways. Music seemed to be hit or miss, loud not loud. Service was very substandard from our server that forgot basically everything, including bringing us waters and had to be asked twice for the departing checks.

Stopped by here to have brunch with my sisters. Finding parking is typical like any downtown area. We parked down the street and walked a short distance to the restaurant. When we first stepped into the door we were quickly greeted and sat down. It was very inviting and I loved that we sat by the window and could view the street. The food was presentable and tasted good. The “Fierce Potato” was my favorite. This is definitely a great spot to brunch and gossip with the girls. We’d go back.

Alaro: the backup plan that delivered.

We rolled in last minute, no reservation, no plan—wine in hand from our first-choice spot. I hadn’t even done my usual vegetarian menu sleuthing. Honestly? I expected to settle. But surprise surprise, this place delivered.

The menu has range. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, meat-lovers—everyone’s invited and no one’s stuck with a sad side salad. We love an inclusive queen.

Didn’t try the beer because, again, wine. But the food? Came in hot. It’s refined pub classics with a little tapas flair. Fried pickles. Onion dip. A grilled cheese that was crispy, golden, and somehow not a grease bomb. Add the grilled onions. Seriously. Just do it.

There’s a freshness here that a lot of places in this category miss. It doesn’t feel heavy or overdone—it feels like someone in the kitchen actually cares.

The service? Super friendly and clearly knew the menu. But yes, we had to ask for flatware. Multiple times. Which, when your food’s already on the table? A little chaotic.

Still—flavor wins. The vibe’s solid. I came in with low expectations and left thinking about what I want to try next.

Next time, I’m showing up with an appetite… and my own fork. Just in case. ✨

How I break down my star reviews:
1 – No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. ️
2 – Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high.
3 – Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. ‍♀️
4 – Hella solid. Planning my next visit.
5 – Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom.

Great choice for our first night in Monterey. We sat at the bar with no wait at all. The service was excellent, from the host to the bartender. The Seared Tuna Sandwich and Quesa Birria Tacos were delicious with the beer pairings. Recommend the Alvarado Street Brewery for a casual dinner.

We came here for an office Christmas holiday get together on a Friday (12/1) evening. It’s my first time at Alaro. Passed by it hundreds of times between the office and home but never stepped foot inside. Reservations for 13 had to be done over the phone with the manager. Open Table has a limit of I believe 6 seats. Any more requires a phone call. Not a problem. Our reservation was for 3pm. Our table was ready upon arrival with a nice little “reserved” tag. Pretty cool. The place is clean, charming, and inviting and feels like a brewery with a number of tanks behind glass windows that you can see. Very fitting. We started out with drinks; instead of beer, we ordered their holiday special which was essentially their El Corazon Margarita – a drink made with reposado tequila with blood orange, passion fruit, pomegranate, and tajin salted rim. I’m a big fan of margaritas and this one was not too shabby. Pretty yummy… a 4.5/5.. Our server was fantastic. I didn’t get his name but very cool dude. He was tentative to us but not overwhelming and took good care of us. Service was a solid 5/5. Upon placing our order, it took maybe 10-15 minutes for our food to arrive hot from the kitchen. A number of us went with the fish tacos. Others went with the veggie burger, the octopus, and grilled cheese. The presentation of the food was neat and well put together deserving a 5/5. The taste however fell short of expectation. The fish tacos were underwhelming, lacking flavor and taste compared to other fish tacos at other eateries. This one was probably a 3/5 at best. When surveyed, folks said similar of their own dish. The one dish that did turn out very well was the octopus which was amazing. It was absolutely delicious, a 5/5. We stayed there a few hours, chatting, laughing, and enjoying the evening together. The place was never overly crowded as patrons came and went for a Friday evening. The place offered us a good dining experience with a value to price ratio of probably a 4/5. To sum it up, Alaro Craft Brewery offers a unique dining experience a little different from other eateries in the area. Their menu offer items not too common which is neat. The ambiance in the evening is inviting and warm. I would definitely recommend folks give this place a try if you’re in the area. I would just avoid the fish tacos and try some other items on the menu. If you find this review helpful, give the thumbs up tap below!!
