What an awesome little pub! Looking to drop by somewhere for a drink after touring the National Aviary (and looking to avoid the typical North Shore Heinz/PNC Park related establishments), the wife and I decided to give Monterey a try.
The Mexican War Streets truly lend a sense of charm to this place. Couple the fact that it looks to be in the ground floor of an old victorian home with the fact that it also looks to be the only commercial establishment on the street, and you get quite the neat atmosphere.
Simple inside... definitely a stereotypical Irish pub, but there's nothing wrong with that! Reasonably priced beer (less than $6 for a full pint of Mad Elf) and very welcoming bar tenders make Monterey Pub a great place to stop by, watch a game and socialize with friends.
Didn't try any of the food, but did notice they have a menu. Either way, we'll definitely stop back the next time we're in the area!
