“ Best late night spot in Carmel. They have late night food and a full bar. The bartenders know their stuff and have great cocktail options. The mezcal margarita is probably the best mezcal drink I’ve had but there is a sweet and spicy note. It turns into a little dance club at night too. ”
“ We had cocktails which were really really good and service was great as well! ”
“ Staff was kind and attentive. Drinks were good. Nice atmosphere to get away from the crowds and doesn't feel overly fancy. Nice casual bar. Food was bar food, what else can you say. Drinks are pricey, but when in Rome I guess. I'd go back again ”
“ This is hands-down the best bar in Carmel, and trust me, coming from me, Jake Daniels, that says a lot. Katherine, the bartender, not only crafts exceptional drinks but is also great company. In a town dominated by pretentious wine spots, this place stands out as the laid-back, effortlessly cool hangout. ”
“ Love the Food ( Even though I only had large nachos, drinks, and chocolate mousee), drinks were really good as well, I have Espresso Martini and my wife had Prickly Pear. The music was loud but no too loud where you have to scream to talk to each other and we were sitting by the DJ booth. ”
“ One of the most delightful whiskey sours I’ve had in a while - served with delicious candied cherries. The service was on the slower side but we weren’t in any rush. ”
“ I would consider this spot more of a bar/bistro. We didn’t eat here, just came for drinks and to see live music on a Thursday night. The ambiance is really nice, friendly and down to earth, drinks are good and the food menu looks tasty. A great, mellow bar in Carmel that we will definitely come back to. ”
“ Love Barmel. It's got eclectic charm, fun atmosphere and great service. Carlos (who runs the place) is such a good guy. He cares. I've used Barmel for numerous after parties as well They are the best! ”
