1 August 2013 ~ Hog's Breath Inn

Listening to:  The Reggae Boys ~ Mama Look Deh


A while back I drove down to Carmel-by-the-Sea.

One spot I really wanted to check out was the Hog's Breath Inn, formerly owned by Clint Eastwood when he was mayor there.

To reach the entrance, one walks through an narrow alley way.


Passing quaint restaurants...


...musical instrument shops....



...and what appeared to be a spa with an interesting array of shoes.


The welcome sign.


Several "Dirty Harry" pictures are displayed, as well as gatherings that were held at the inn. And of course, several "Hogs" on display as well....and not the 2 wheeled kind!


In addition to a few tables on inside a the bar, there is also an extensive outdoor patio. Famous items on the menu include a "Dirty Harry Burger" and "Hog's Baby Back Ribs". I didn't stay for lunch, but did have a beer enjoying the ambiance.
