A dive bar at it's finest. No windows, no credit cards, and no doors (just kidding). It has a jukebox, cheap drinks, a fireplace, and an indoor/outdoor smoking area.
It's basically perfect to get away from the tourists and the hoity-toit of the town!
Nice bartenders and strong drinks.
I'm not use to a college town, tourist area and some what of a travel destination being so dead (Monterey area in general). Â However, this is a nice little whole in the wall bar. Â The bartender was nice and took your order quick (Not saying much since there was only 25 people in the place). Â If you are looking for a more chill area to talk with friends and don't want music blasting, I'd suggest checking this place out. Â Also bring your cash, they don't accept plastic here!
Review Source:I really enjoy coming to Segovia's because it's a nice change of pace from the typical bar scene in and around Monterey. The bartenders are awesome, especially Sharon. It's definitely more a dive bar than anything else, but I like that scene, and if you do too, this is the place to go. Just don't come here expecting to order some fancy shmancy cocktail; the drinks are very standard, but I don't mind that at all.
Also, a big note here: CASH ONLY. Be prepared for that.
This place is a nice dive bar. We stumbled upon it one night out and was skeptical about it at first. It's small but has bar seating, booths and a little spot by the indoor fireplace. There's also a smoking patio out back. Drinks are suuuupperrrr cheap here and I can see it become my watering hole if I needed one. The bartender was nice. The locals that came there though weren't so friendly looking. It's ok though, my friends and I enjoyed our time nonetheless.
Review Source:If you are looking for a dive bar, an after hours haven where the extremely drunk gather...then this bar is for you! The employees that I have had the "pleasure" of dealing with seem to be somewhat jaded about being in the world of hospitality. They actually ran out of Jameson when I was there...um...I believe that a bar is supposed to be supplied with such vices...I usually only go here when I get dragged and am already quite intoxicated. Attend at your own risk-with low expectations.
Review Source:Out of towners, rejoice! Another great Monterey bar that isn't a tourist trap, isn't overcrowded and doesn't kill your wallet. After our first week of visiting, the man and I needed to do some laundry to prevent our lovely hotel room from smelling like an old gym bag. Following a quick stop to load the machine at the laundromat across the street, we swept into Segovia's ready to get our weekend drink on.
The bar was not crowded but the bar seats were all full and it appeared to me that everyone was a local. Despite being "outsiders", everyone was super friendly. Before we knew it, we had drinks in hand from the friendly bartender and conversation was flowing about everything from the history of the bar to the upcoming AT&T Pebble Beach tournament. The hour flew by and we would have loved to stay for more but, alas, laundry beckoned. Until next time, Segovia's!
Dive bars. They need to be dark, have character(s), be reasonably priced, and scratch that itch I have only a dive bar can reach.
I've never had bad service, the drinks are less costly than anywhere else nearby, and I can stagger home from the entrance in what could be a straight line, but rarely is.
I really look forward to leaving Pacific Grove just to stop in to Segovia's. Larry is usually in when we come in during the day. The bartenders are all nice and pour a good drink at a very reasonable price. They usually have some sort of munchie to snack on. The vibe is mellow, so are the daytime regulars.
Great place for a few no nonsense drinks, or several shots of Jack and Makers!
CASH ONLY! But they do have an ATM
Dirteh. Diveh. skidrovia. the darkside. thees is why we love eet. it can be packed. it can be empteh. The music can be from the electronified juke or from the bartenders' ipod. The whatever game or wrestling or a crappy ass "best of" from the USA channel might be playing on the tube. There is a waxing 70's nostalgic fire pit, for those cold nights when you left home without your fur..... in the center of the room. A hallway with bathrooms leads to an outdoor area for playing pool and a smoking area. You don't come here because you have any expectations. REALLY. Sit down. Order your beverage. Shut up.
If you must, chatty-talk/harass your neighbor. But if you harass the bartenders expect to be kicked the F out. Chat with your friends. or Make new friends in your drunken stupor that you will not remember ( for good or bad) in the morning.
Mmmm,time for a Bloody Mary.
As out-of-towners, a few buddies and I wanted to get some drinks but not at one of the many tourist trap options closer to the water. Segovia came through big-time.
The Bloody Mary was delicious, the bartender friendly if a little frazzled, and the locals incredibly welcoming and friendly. We had about twice as many drinks as we planned because we were so enjoying the conversation. Just the kind of bar  you want to visit when traveling.
Legit dive bar - cheap drinks, cash only, cigarette machine, dark lighting.  Only thing this place lacks is a pool table.  Tons of history - the 102 yr old owner of the building Rose Segovia lives upstairs and you can watch her on You Tube at the bar drinking shots - <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQ1QsvAbPfb0&s=84ec1374d42f298b64b0b5b33725622356825177b9dd25f1ff7c3d8f3581f606" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>.  That's Epic! Â
Place has a vintage feel to it and the crowd varies from ol' timers during the day to getting quite busy with a hipster sort of crowd at night. Â
Always love it here.
wow bar tender (girl) allows drunks to pick fights with old men, drunk guy in his 20's calling out whole bar, the bar tender who's a girl heavy set with black hair is hiding in the corner saying please don't fight, at the same time she has a  full bar and a drunk idiot is running his mouth at everyone i cant believe they allow this BS.Mutiple people had to  walk out when a gentlemen asked him to calm down  he got crazy the bar tender left the room, very bad place to drink unless u want to feel a Salinas vibe. bad service expensive drinks ugly people its a hang out not a pub BE AWARE service is scared to ask people to leave when drunk you are not safe! drink accorss the street at the bulldog they are legit Segovias is a joke
Review Source:I love this place. It may be because the bartenders are fantastic but probably because they have the cheapest drinks in town and its never rowdy. They have a good amount of history to the place, which I love. Yes the place is cash only, but I consider that a service. I cant spend more then I bring. There is an ATM, but paying a total of $5 for it is not worth another drink or two. Last time I was here a beautiful girl by the name CASSON was tending the bar. She is great! Every bartender there has a great personality, but I just have a love for her laugh....LOL!!!
I'll be back soon.
I like this little old dive bar. This bar is in my neighborhood, So sometimes we will come here for a few cheap drinks. The staff is always nice to me and they also have a jukebox which my friends and I like to play the cheesiest music ever. Which is fun watching some old guys stare at us wierd as RuPaul You better Work is blasting.
Review Source:Warm and inviting hazel-brown eyes reflected the light from the fire as he looked at me. Â I gushed as he smiled at me, adoring the fine lines around his eyes and on the corners of his mouth. Â His left knee met my right knee as he moved closer to tell me something. Â The music wasn't loud, but I still wasn't able to hear him. Â He leaned even closer so his lips were nearly touching my ear. Â His warm breath tickled my earlobe and slightly made me quiver as it traveled down my neck. Â
"Do you want another beer?" Â
I grimaced at the poor selection of beer, and after two pints from another bar, I hesitated to answer. Â The bartender had a vicious look. Â Maybe the leggy blonde in front of him was his former girlfriend, who seemed to enjoy herself with the company of a bearded man. Â No, I didn't want to bother the bartender for seltzer water.
"How about going back to my place?" I proposed instead.
We both stood up, gathered our belongings, walked past the few older patrons sitting on the barstools and the cigarrette vending machine. Â We made our exit and entered into another story...
