The renowned Hog’s Breath Inn, originally founded by Clint Eastwood and a beloved landmark in Carmel-by-the-Sea, will temporarily shutter on February 3, 2025, to undergo an eagerly awaited refurbishment. After 55 years as a central part of the community, this iconic eatery plans to welcome patrons back in early May 2025 with an updated yet classically Carmel ambiance.

Revitalizing a Carmel Classic
For over five decades, Hog’s Breath Inn has been more than a mere dining spot; it has embodied the essence of Carmel’s welcoming and vibrant culture. The upcoming renovations will preserve the restaurant’s historic character while infusing it with modern enhancements. Expect to see locally sourced Carmel stone, bespoke redwood slab tables, plush new leather seating, and a polished overall atmosphere that respects the past while looking forward to the future.

Engaging the Community
Throughout its transformation, Hog’s Breath Inn will connect with its community through a dynamic social media campaign run by eLab Communications. Patrons are encouraged to contribute stories, photographs, and memories, weaving a rich tapestry of the inn’s history while building excitement for its new chapter.

Clint Eastwood once famously quipped in Dirty Harry, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” Yet, the potential of Hog’s Breath Inn knows no bounds. The legendary ‘Dirty Harry’ burger, fresh catches like Monterey calamari and sand dab, the storied Dirty Harry steak dinner, renowned artichoke soup, and peerless clam chowder will all remain, enhanced and ready to delight old and new guests alike.

Booking Now for Future Celebrations
Although temporarily closed for renovations, Hog’s Breath Inn is already accepting reservations for group events and special occasions starting in June 2025. With its refreshed facilities and improved service offerings, the inn is poised to remain a premiere locale for everything from wedding dinners and corporate gatherings to intimate cocktail evenings and large group meals, all in the picturesque heart of Carmel.
