Pearl Hour

Great bar! Vibes on the inside with a stage for live music, etc., cozy spacious outdoor patio with fire pits and pop up food truck. They do zodiac-inspired cocktails! Will definitely come back for the monthly drag shows.

Good spot to hang. Plenty of young people and it's lively on a Saturday night. Make sure you get here early cause seats are hard to get and they switch the menu to handle the crowd. They have events as well, check their website. Menu is easy to read and plenty of choices. Best spot for cocktail.

Stopped by for the first time ever, based on a recommendation to try the "Libra Cocktail". It was the actual day of my girlfriend's birthday (10/6). We show up after dinner and the place is half-empty, which is fine with us, and we stand at the bar and then ask for the cocktail (and I order a beer). At this point, we are now informed there will be live Jazz later that night. We are asked to pay a 10 dollar cover each, for a bar we are already inside to cover a show that hasn't even setup and would not be started by the time we finished our drink and left. I explain it's her birthday, we would just like to try their "Libra Cocktail" and then leave. They say it's not possible. So we would have paid about 20 dollars for the luxury of ordering a drink and paying for the drink separately and then leaving a half empty bar. Absolutely missed the plot as bartenders/management. Serve the drink, say happy birthday, and wish them well on the way out the door. It would be different if there was a show about to go on, or a packed house, or some situation in which we are doing anything other than having a birthday cocktail and leaving. Do yourself a favor and skip this joint. Greed like this really spoils the appetite anyway.

Great speakeasy vibe with couches and candlelight inside and an outside seating area with a huge firepit! The bathrooms were clean and it was a really relaxing atmosphere! The staff and patrons were friendly and kind!

Total vibe. Bonus points for indoor AND outdoor seating. Friendly staff, quality cocktails. My only complaint is that there isn't a large selection of non alcoholic drinks- water, coke and $10 cold tea. Will definitely be back, and looking forward to attending one of their live events.

An amazing place in Monterey with an awesome vibe and delicious drinks! Cozy, intimate, perfect for groups or just a couple of people. Great outdoor area too

We saw someone complain about the $10 cover charge for the band but also saw someone say the bands here were amazing so we took the plunge and GLAD WE DID! We were happy to pay for such delightful entertainment and the cocktails were amazing! We’ll be back!

Pearl Hour has been, for quite some time, our favorite bar in Monterey and one of our favorite bars in Monterey. We reached out to PH to ask whether we could host a welcome drinks event the night before our wedding, and they graciously accepted! I can’t begin to explain how incredible the service we got in preparation for and during the event was. Every single one of our guests gushed about the quality of the delicious cocktails and how BEAUTIFUL the space was. Thank you so much, Pearl Hour, for hosting us, especially since we know that putting together events such as this one can be really stressful. A+ drinks. A+ service. A+ everything.
