Stopped here for a pint and food. We split an order of 2 pieces of fish, a banger, and chips. I had the Corkscrew (closest beer to an ESB) and a 1066 Pale Ale. Both were quite tasty. The ceiling was covered with beer steins from their beer club. Enjoyed our visit. There is an outdoor patio, but it was too cold to sit outside.

Spent the night in Marina, was thrilled to find a locals hangout there. Good food, fun people, felt welcome immediately and the beer was awesome. Couldn't ask for more!

Well the reviews were perfect they do have the best fish and chips the cod was amazing. Great selection of beer!! Kelly was our waitress, bartender, and she was so friendly it's like we had known her forever. The pub looked just like you would have expected. Excellent historical artifacts. It was great to see people playing cribbage and enjoying themselves. Hope to see you again soon!!

Every time I come I tell myself I'll try new things, but then end up getting the wings, fried pickles, and barts tots... No regrets ha. Their wings are my all-time favorite... So deliciously crispy? always met with friendly service, highly recommend! Love the outdoor seating as well.

I've been visiting English Ales for years and I'm surprised I hadn't already shared a review. I'm not even sure how I came about this place, I just know it used to be a place my cousin and I would meet after work on those days we needed a beer. We'd always get 2 beers and a side of curly fries. Now, it's a place my friends and coworkers have in rotation of places to come chill. Now a favorite of my husband's too. You must try a classic Big Sur Golden. You can never go wrong. A lot of great beer options & always a chill vibe. They have indoor and outdoor seating and tv screens for those that like to watch sports. The prices are decent and if you buy one of their mugs, you get a discount each time you use it. Their service is always good. They have quite a few food options, including typical bar food. I however have yet to try it as we always go for fries, wings or appetizers. There's not much that goes on in Marina, but this place makes Marina worth the trip.

So glad we stopped here after an after work drive to Monterey/Marina on a Friday night. Very chill atmosphere, friendly bartenders and staff and delicious food! There was plenty to chose from on the menu but I decided to try something on their special vegan menu , Impossible Nuggets ! Perfectly cooked! Ben enjoyed his meal and the fries and side salad I tried were great too. Enjoyed a few glasses of wine and Ben enjoyed their pale ale. They have a serious mug club, mugs are hanging from every available surface!-very cool decor. Felt like a locally loved, chill place to relax. Will definitely be back whenever we visit the Monterey area.

We were here from out of town and were told this place had the best fish and chips. They were not wrong. We started off with the fried zucchini and pretzel bites. Everything came out hot and fresh. From the appetizers to the entrees. The zucchini was great. For the the pretzel bits stole the show. A little crunch on the bottom and soft on the inside. Sooo good. Me and one other in our party had the fish,bangers and chips. Beer batter fish was crispy, the sausage was delicious and you can't go wrong with steak cut fries. The other person in our party had the Philly cheese steak. With just the meat and cheese. She said it was very good. They also have beers to choose from. The service was great! If we are ever back in the area we would definitely be back.

Good beer, decent food, nice ambiance, and great service. I've tried most of the beers here and have liked them all. The amber ale especially is the bomb.

Mostly fried and processed food. I don't drink beer so it's not really my cup of tea. I prefer healthier types of foods.
