Living less than 2 blocks away, this spot is always a weekly stop of ours. My boyfriend and I have been to Monterey Pub at least 6 times since we've moved to the Mexican War streets and have brought friends and family with us a few of those times as well. However, the times we have sat at the bar it has been less than a positive experience. The bartender is never anything but rude and disrespectful to my boy and I...I'm not sure if it's because we are young, but that still is not any excuse to treat us the way he has multiple times. We actually had just visited last evening around 10 pm for our night cap and to finish watching the pirates, and again to our dismay, he was rude and we were ignored 35 minutes before last call after the bartender had served numerous regulars, and seemed like he was actually trying to not serve us anymore. It's unfortunate that we both feel this way about the bartender at this establishment because we really enjoy the food and the pub as a whole, but last night was the last time we will ever sit at the bar. For your own satisfaction, I suggest you get a table, the servers are always awesome.
