We decided to walk there on a Thursday night and saw that it was karaoke night. My fave! It looked like it once was a big warehouse because there was so much space. The outdoor patio was huge with lots of benches and inside also was huge with plenty of seating. They offered arcade games and pool tables which was fun. We got a couple margaritas and it was only $10! I put my name in for a couple songs and we sat and listened to others sing for a little while. The karaoke host was nice and he lets everyone sing 2 songs back to back which is unheard of for me lol but the crowd was very nice and responsive. We had a nice low key time. The chicken wing/taco combo is solid! Everything was very affordable and I think they have some type of music playing each night.

We have been here several time to listen to the live music from local performers. The food menu is typical of what you would find at an bar n grill. We have had a bacon wrapped hot dog and fries, chicken wings, and baked potato. Everything was good. We started ordering bottled beer the last few times we came since their draft beers seemed a little too hot for our liking. The service staff is young and very friendly. They seated us immediately. The best part about it! Is that the building itself is a part of the town's history. Come check it out, and learn some of Alamo's history.

So I don't like going down to the 17th street bar/club scene but this place is pretty fun. I love me a good patio and this place has a pretty nice one. The punk show on the patio was fun and a great use of the outdoor space. The drink specials are great ($2-3 wells) on Thursdays and the drinks are pretty stiff. I went on a Thursday night and the crowd was great. It gets a lot busier on Fridays/Saturdays.

Bartender girls have very bad attitudes. There was two of them. They literally do not care if you…read more(the customer) is happy. On the evening of 12/12/17, my work colleagues and I visited the establishment and one person asked for a particular brand of beer. The bartender advised they don't have it. So in jest my friend said "oh man you don't have it?" The bartender girl snapped. She replied "no we don't carry it but you can go to another bar nearby if it's really a problem." Ok whoa....she needed to calm down. Smart bartenders would simply refer a different or similar beer brand but not this one. She went straight for "go somewhere else." Not knowing who we were, I noticed the bar charges a $1 service charge for every $10 charged to any credit card you use to pay. Unfortunately the bartenders didn't know we were all state auditors. All patrons must know that this kind of service fee is against the law and is now enforced by the Texas Attorney General. Formerly this unauthorized charge and law was enforced by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner. Being that the conversation went hostile after one bartender was already inviting one of us to leave (see above), I asked the bartender if they actually charged the $1 credit card service charge for every $10 [charged on a credit card] to customers. That's when the other bartender chimes in after listening to the entire conversation. The second bartender said "yes we charge it, everyone around here charges it. Are you going to order something or not?" Fact is, of the 5 other establishments visited in the immediate area within walking distance, not one establishment charged a credit card service fee. After two bartenders expressed they were obviously in a bad mood, the 6 of us all decided to leave. I certainly took a picture of the posted signage advising of the credit card surcharge and will forward it to the Texas Attorney General. Please be advised, if you have visited the Thirsty Monkey after Sept 01, 2017, you may file a compliant with the Attorney General if you were charged a credit card surcharge of any amount - https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/cpd/credit-cards . Simply follow the links and file. If you have your receipt, the state office can help you obtain the refunds for your unauthorized surcharge.

For as long as I can remember coming here, Alfonso and Adam have always been super sweet, friendly, funny and attentive.
