Farmers Union Pour House - Salinas

Good luck securing a table! Haha! But if you manage to, this restaurant is a lively and enjoyable spot to visit. There are countless menu options, and the wall decor adds a cozy touch, making it a fantastic backdrop for a photo with your drink. I really appreciate the old-town neighborhood vibe where this place is located; it has a charming, laid-back atmosphere.

My husband loves craft beers and this place has an awesome selection from local and regional breweries. Bonus for me, they also have a great selection of wines! Lovely interior, locals hangout and chat, great atmosphere in downtown Salinas.

The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful. They also offered a great selection of beers and wines.

Here's a five-year update! Not much has changed, and that's a good thing. I decided to give it another star for enduring through the pandemic. I met up with a few good friends for some cold drinks, and it was an almost perfect setting for that. As I glanced around the place between sips, it looked like everyone was having a great time, either watching the baseball game or enjoying games of their own. In conclusion… I hope to come back more often!

I tried the Mason/Zombies End 2 End Burners Hazy Double IPA (8.0%) and it was fantastic. Our bartender was also very helpful!
