Forge in the Forest
Many of the employees at the Forge are also the owners through a trust. They bring an enthusiasm to this fun place that's infectious. Dine on the well-heated and flower-bordered patio or on an antique table inside. The huge menu features great sandwiches, steaks and pizzas. The bar is a fine place for a drink.

Jack London's
In a walkway off Dolores St, Jack London's serves hot food until midnight. A Carmel mainstay since 1973, it pairs upscale pub grub (burgers, ribs) with a selection of microbrews and potent mixed drinks. With a cozy fireplace, the bar is a good place for just a drink.
