The Monarch Pub is located in lovely downtown Pacific Grove, California. It’s one of my favorite local restaurants to go to because it’s consistently great. There is indoor and outdoor dining with animals on leashes allowed. Outside there is a fire pit and a fun wall of beer related signs. Inside has a traditional pub feel with a full bar and TVs. Everything is reasonably priced and always yummy. Our fav is the calamari! They have weekend events as well. The staff is quick and nice. Try it!

We were driving through the town of Pacific Grove trying to find a place to have dinner. This small town is down the road from Monterey and is its a sleepy suburb compared to Monterey. There were not alot of restaurants and most of them were closed. We landed at Monarch Pub.
It was a full house and we waited about 20 minutes to be seated. We sat outside on the enclosed patio, about 1/3 of the heaters were broken on this particular brisk evening. We sat next to one of the broken heaters.
The menu is British pub fare. We ordered breaded calamari and fish n chips to share. The waitress was over worked, it was just her for the entire patio. So it took awhile to order and to get our drinks and food, and to even get napkins, refills, and condiments. To add to her workload, the ticket system went wonky, it didn’t print the table #s. So she had to shout out orders with two other staff helping her. With folks all claiming orders willy nilly, it was mayhem. We got our calamari appetizer but got skunked on our fish n chips. That came super late.
The fish in the fish n chips was fantastic. Quality, great tasting piece of cod. Firm, flaky fish. It was beer battered and deep fried .Ohhh that crust was darn tasty as well. Fried to a prefect golden crisp.hard an audible crunch. Mmm. The fries were steak cut and just ok. Anyway the breaded calamari tasted ok. Not bad, not great either. Plus I don’t think k it was fresh made.

Great Pub Grub! What an absolute gem in charming Pacific Grove. The Monarch Pub truly has it all—comfort, a laid-back atmosphere, and outstanding food. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt completely at ease. The setting is casual and welcoming, with a cozy bar, a relaxed dining area, and a spacious patio that’s ideal for unwinding. It’s the kind of place where both locals and visitors feel instantly at home.
We ordered the British Banger Sandwich, which came with perfectly cooked fries and tasty beans—it was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the crispy, flavorful Prawns and Chips, and they were excellent—lightly battered, golden, and full of flavor. And we couldn’t leave without trying the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was nothing short of heavenly—warm, indulgent, and unforgettable.
The menu is full of great choices for everyone, including lots of fresh salads and hearty sandwiches. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the high quality and generous portion sizes. Whether you’re craving traditional pub fare or something lighter, there’s something to satisfy every appetite.
Monarch Pub also offers a great array of British and Irish ales, a variety of beers, and wines, along with a full bar featuring special cocktails—perfect for pairing with your meal or enjoying during a night out.
Our server, India, was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind—her excellent service made a great experience even better.
The patio added to the fun with its humorous signage, lush flowers, and all of its visual fun elements of Great Britain inside and out—creating such a cheerful and unique vibe that made our visit even more enjoyable.
It’s also a great place to catch a game—whether you’re into baseball, basketball, soccer, or more. The relaxed setting and friendly crowd make it an ideal spot for sports fans.
Easily accessible, you can stroll over, bike over or drive over with lots of nearby parking.
We’re already looking forward to catching a future performance by Katherine Lavin, who we know is incredibly talented. We’ll definitely be back!
Monarch Pub is a must-visit—whether you’re in the mood for a satisfying meal, a refreshing drink, catching a match, or just a casual evening out. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience at the Monarch Pub & Restaurant in Pacific Grove. This charming spot exudes a cozy and inviting atmosphere that I absolutely adore.
To begin my meal, I opted for the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. They were perfectly crispy and gooey, accompanied by a delicious dipping sauce. For the main course, I decided to try the Monarch’s Classic Apple Salad. Even though I’m not particularly fond of blue cheese, the friendly staff gladly accommodated my request to swap it out for feta cheese. With the addition of balsamic dressing, bacon bits, mixed greens, apples, dried cranberries, and candied pecans, every bite was a delightful explosion of flavors. I really enjoyed it!
I chose to sit outside by the fire, which made for a lovely evening ambiance. The service at the Monarch Pub & Restaurant was top-notch and the entire dining experience left me satisfied. The food was beyond delicious, and the attentive staff made sure everything went smoothly.
Overall, if you ever find yourself in Pacific Grove, I highly recommend visiting this cute little spot. The Monarch Pub & Restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere, delectable dishes, and excellent service.

When you can’t make it to England for Fish and Chips, eat here! They are the BEST I have had in the USA! Then, there’s their traditional Mushy Peas for another authentic British treat. I enjoyed a nice iced tea with my meal and many other beverages are available. They have “Old Speckled Hen,” which is a classic British bitter or ale that compliments Fish and Chips nicely. Amy was a delightful server. She treated my husband and I with superb service and smiles. Each employee worked diligently to clean and sanitize tables and chairs and wore their masks correctly. Eating outside and enjoying the heated patio was very pleasant and comfortable! Thank you, Monarch Pub, for a delicious meal and a memorable experience! We can’t wait to return!

Great food. The appetizers are all very tasty. There’s also a good selection of beers but you’re definitely paying more for the downtown Pacific Grove experience. Also, be careful if you order a double cocktail, the Moscow mule went from $14 to $28 and we didn’t notice until much later when we were figuring out the split. Just order more drinks instead of stronger ones.

We stopped in for a refreshment and a snack. Expansive patio.
Despite arriving at shift change the service was quite good.
We order the calamari 4.5/5 and fried artichoke 4.5/5. Both very good and large portions.
Good beer, wine, and cocktail options.

Great place to get a quick bite. They have a nice outside seating area when the weather allows. We went there several times during our stay in the area. The beer battered artichokes are awesome, probably had them every time. This time with beer battered mushrooms and fries. Portions are pretty large/filling, we couldn’t finish that with 2 people.
