Fish Hopper

Have you dined at the Fish Hopper lately? Their restaurant remodel is unbelievable; guests have ocean views from every table for an unforgettable dining experience. The lively color palette was pulled directly from the kelp forests located directly out the windows of the dining rooms and glass tiles offer an iridescent glimmer reminiscent of sunlight through water. The hardwood floors maintain the rustic feel of the wharf. The custom jellyfish light fixtures are an exquisite piece of hand-blown glass which has been tangled and snarled in an iron swirl of kelp.

Not only was their bar transformed, their happy hour menu was as well! Enjoy delicious cocktails and mouthwatering snacks from $5.00-$7.00 – Monday through Friday 3:00pm-6:00pm and 8:30pm to close. Plus $3.00 Draft Beer, $4.00 Well Cocktails and House Wine and 25% off all Exotic Libations!

NEW at the FishHopper…breakfast on the bay. Join them for a light breakfast with delicious early bites and some great drink specials, including Mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, Mojito’s, Cappuccinos, Espresso, Mochas and more.

Come join them for an unforgettable meal soon!

Save the Date:
10^th Annual Block Party –Sunday, June 2^nd from 11:00am – 5:00pm

Admit it: those 60-hour workweeks have gotten a little overwhelming and now you need a break. Why not get the guys together for a motorcycle trip? It’s a scenic ride into Monterey on Highway 1, and once in town you can park and unpack for a long weekend at InterContinental The Clement Monterey. Set on the water’s edge, this exciting new hotel offers Cannery Row- and Monterey Bay-view rooms plus flat-screen TVs, an on-site fitness center and spa, high-speed wireless internet and 24-hour room service. Sleep in, enjoy lunch overlooking the ocean at The C Restaurant, and then head out toward A Taste of Monterey to sample spicy Syrah blends grown right down the road. But first, stop off at Harley-Davidson for a few new bike accessories and trip t-shirts. Fill the rest of your time with bike rides, mini golf and browsing the local shops, and plan to eat somewhere new each night – authentic Mexican at El Mariachi, steak at the Whaling Station, seafood at The Fish Hopper – before taking in live music at Sly McFly’s.

Cannery Row is the Central Coast’s favorite family destination. Monterey County Weekly readers voted our merchants the best of Monterey’s ocean view hotels, restaurants, boutiques and galleries, spas, premium wine tasting, nightlife and exciting recreation! Plan you next family vacation today.
