Comments: We met up with some old friends for a very nice dinner in the Carmel Arts District. I'm a native north-sider, and am generally a fan of what they're doing in Carmel. Our friends knew we were fans of the area and wanted to check it out, so we met them up north. After strolling around a bit we decided to grab dinner at Bub's (btw, it looks like Bub's let their domain name purchase lapse, and now a p0rn site might be running it). This is a pretty family focused place, with a tightly focused menu. The food is great, but the beer selection is lacking. Their list is similar to a lot of restaurants - the major domestics with a few major imports. Newcastle is always a pretty solid choice. It's MUCH better on tap than in a bottle, but when you don't have many choices, it does the job.
