Tips for Dining, Eating and Food Shopping in California (exc. LA, SF Bay Area, San Diego)
Start New ThreadWe will be for two days in Monterey/Carmel next Friday and Saturday. We often like to go for a cocktail after our dinner. Are there any (cocktail) bars in in this area which are open late (12 am ?) We searched but couldn't find anything.

Mission Ranch or Rio Grill? Mission Ranch has a rather lively, local piano bar following. More romantic, Pacific's Edge. I think they have jazz on the weekends, but I don't know their hours.
Where are you staying, Carmel or Monterey? Might not want to stray too far from "home" after dinner and drinks.

Yes. Passionfish and Marinus at Bernadus Lodge. It will be the last part of a 2.5 weeks culinary vacation through SF and the wine country before driving down to SD
