Brophys Tavern - Carmel-By-The-Sea (CA)

5 /5 MARY ALLAG: Brophy’s Tavern absolutely blew me away, especially considering we visited on Thanksgiving Day. Devin and Asia were running the entire bar and floor by themselves, and you would never know it — they were in perfect sync. No one waited to be greeted, sat, served, or poured. The whole room had this energized, effortless flow that you only get from people who are really good at what they do. The food was unbelievably delicious; we got the Reuben calzone and the filet mignon sliders. Whoever was making the food behind the scenes was truly on it. Devin made me the “Ted on the Water,” and Asia told us the best story about Ted, and Jaws, we just had to take home the shark cup! As someone who works in the industry, I would’ve assumed they needed at least one more person… but these two handled it flawlessly. They’re rockstars, and Brophy’s is lucky to have them.

4 /5 SeeTheWorld: We enjoyed dinner at Brophys. I had the tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwich. My husband had the Tavern burger. The soup and sandwich were both excellent. The soup was chunky with delicious flavor. The sandwich oozed with melted cheese. My husband loved the burger. It was perfectly cooked (medium) and had lots of blue cheese. Our server recommended the Peace, Love and Haze IPA. I was skeptical because generally I dont like IPAs, theyre too hoppy. But she was right, I really liked it. The atmosphere was perfect, an authentic tavern.

5 /5 Sydney Stoen: Was visiting Carmel and decided to come here because of the good reviews, and they were right. Rachel got us seated right away and was super nice. She took our order fast, and checked up on us making sure our food was good and drinks were good as well. Food was very good as well super good burger and rib fries. Definitely recommend!

5 /5 P C: I can’t recommend this place enough! I stopped by a few days ago while passing through, and the service I received was honestly next level. From the second I stepped through the front door, I was greeted with such warmth and friendliness that it immediately set the tone for my visit. Candace and Vanessa went above and beyond to make me feel welcome truly the kind of service you rarely see these days. Their energy and professionalism made my experience unforgettable, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their customers. Highly recommend stopping by! Thanks again ladies.

4 /5 Arief Ramon: A classic, cozy, local Irish pub and sports bar located in downtown Carmel. It offers a selection of craft cocktails, draft beer, and excellent pub fare. Famous for its friendly, local vibe and the "1000-can" vintage beer wall display. Great for a casual drink or meal.
