Attention, chocolate lovers! Lilify proudly carries Mast chocolate bars - small batch, certified organic bean-to-bar chocolates handmade in New York.

A variety of 1 ounce mini-bars - including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, almond butter chocolate, coffee chocolate, and tea chocolate - are now available in-store and on our website. These beauties are a gorgeous gift and a perfect pick me up. Lilify is located at 281 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

Pearl Hour is proud to carry Uncle Nearest 1856 Premium Aged Whiskey and Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey. Spice, maple, fruity and grassy, these are blends of premium aged whiskies between 8-14 years. Visit us at 214 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey and try it.

In the traditionally cloistered male and white world of whiskey, Uncle Nearest is a brand that is proudly Black-owned and operated, rooted in the history of long-overlooked Black innovation in the beverage space, and, by its very existence, a refutation of the old narratives that white-washed the American whiskey industry.

Uncle Nearest is the legacy of the Godfather of Tennessee Whiskey, Nearest Green. Each small batch comes from barrels chosen by the founders and each blend is curated by a fifth generation Green descendant, Master Blender Victoria Eady Butler.

Butler is a descendant of Nathan “Nearest” Green, the man who mentored Jack Daniel in the craft of whiskey distilling. Green, who was enslaved until 1865, was a highly skilled whiskey-maker and an indispensable advisor and distiller for Jack Daniel’s.

Pearl Hour invites you to join us on Tuesday, March 2 at 7pm for a four-course tasting experience by Pearl Hour and Chef Alec Moreno. Fee is $85 per person and seating is limited - please reserve your spot online. Ages 21 and over only.

Pearl Hour has recently acquired some incredibly luscious liquids from Japan. These bottles represent our continued dedication to partner with producers who care about their craft. We will highlight these products in cocktails served alongside beautifully prepared little bites by Chef Moreno while you sit under the stars by the fire in our secret garden patio. View the menu here.

Trying to decide between pick-up or delivery from your favorite restaurant? If you want to support small, locally-owned businesses, pick-up is the way to go.

Delivery charges can be expensive for independently owned restaurants. If you're able, please consider picking up your order yourself - you'll bypass the middleman and ensure your meal arrives nice and hot.

Don't want to wait onsite during the pandemic? Place your order in advance over the phone or online. Don't want to go indoors? Some restaurants offer curbside pick-up on request - they're listed in our online Dining Guide. You can enjoy great take-out food and still stay safe from Covid-19!

The City of Monterey offers a parking program which allows Monterey residents, displaying the proper decal permit, a maximum of two hours of free parking, per day, per parking facility.
