Entry No. 32 — the Monterey file — filed under: supper club

Barmel

A courtyard cocktail bar built around decor and lore borrowed from Sally Stanford — the famed San Francisco madam-turned-mayor of Sausalito — and her old Valhalla saloon, complete with a private "Supper Club" annex behind the main room. Carmel's zoning caps the whole town at three drinking establishments, so this is a genuinely scarce commodity.

The move: Get courtyard seats for the Thursday-through-Saturday DJ set and late-night bar bites, then ask whether the private Supper Club room is open to walk-ins that night.
