Wow! The Pearl Hour recently got a shout out in the NY Times! In her article, A Cheapskate in Monterey (gift article link), travel writer Elaine Giusac, toasted The Pearl Hour after visiting the local institution for Happy Hour.
We met during happy hour — 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday — when classic cocktails such as the Corpse Reviver No. 2 go for $10 (normally $13). Ms. Blandin plants the bar’s back patio in succulents, flowers and herbs, many of which make their way into her cocktails.
“I think even a cocktail should have a sense of terroir,” she said.
