It's almost like a speakeasy, where the front is set up like a travel agency and once you're checked in you get transported into this hidden gem tiki bar!! The food was delicious! I came here with my bf and friends. They were able to accommodate our allergies as well (I'm gluten free and my bf can't have dairy, eggs, nuts, fish, and they were still able to give him lots of food!). They had lots of fun drinks on the menu too. Definitely coming back here!

The outside is decorated as a travel agency and the host walks you in. Our server was friendly and answered our questions about the drinks and food. Their menu is a "sharing menu". I will say that I think the best value are their family style platters. We tried the Mahalo pork which was good. Likely enough for 2-3 people. The Duck Spring Rolls were good but I didn't ask how many came in an order. It's 2 rolls for $18, which is not a great value. The Yaki Skewers were good. We got the shoyu chicken but again it's $15 for 3 skewers so not a great value. Drinks average $18 but they were good and came with fun umbrellas etc. Overall we'd return for drinks and maybe the pork platter. 4 stars for service and theme but 3 stars for overall value. They are right next to the paid lot and do validate but be aware you can get towed if the validation doesn't process for some reason. Yes, we've seen it happen

It's confusing due to the arrangement of the bar and tables. A couple had the attention of the bartender, so we didn't know where to go. The challenge is they need a hostess or two bartenders downstairs. Someone needs to greet people. We decided to just go upstairs. Great move! That's the real gem in this space. The lair in the back of the bar on the top floor is worth the visit. Loooove that area big time. I took a chance and got the Kran drink. Was okay. Next time I will order more traditional. Worth a try.

This is the best for folks who like to bring their pups everywhere and I wish I had known sooner. I also heard they have a rockin' weeknight karaoke, and I know my partner and I will be hitting that up at some point in the near future. This is your standard Monroe Ave dive (not the diviest there is but divey nevertheless) and it fits in great with the rest of the Monroe scene. I went with a raspberry vodka soda and it was perfectly strong, made by a super friendly bartender who was attentive to everyone seated. I will for sure be back for drinks with friends when I am in the area (and to try some food!)

Word is out that the original Chef is now back to make the great food the bistro once served. On my first visit I had the wings, which are the same they make for JD Oxford's...but this time with the house sauce, which is the same tangy-smoky bbq meets hot sauce mix that has been adapted by many restaurants. And naturally they cooked them to my specifications :-) I paired them with genny's salted caramel vanilla porter...or w/e it's called. On my second visit, my buddy and I shared the Turcott's poutine and instantly became my fave. Hardly greasy and hardly salty without sacrificing the good balance of flavors As you have guessed by now, I've been back twice under the new name. The first time was on Turkey day eve. They had yet to have the new menu available, but their beer list was good to go. The place underwent a hell of a face lift -- inside and out! Remember the wobbling tables? NO MORE! All the wood benches/booths are now nice and cushioned. The rear top half level is now carpeted and as great for group as it once used to be.. The bar is very shiny and beauteous. Other additions to the bar is a second flat screen, a juke box and a dart board machine. They new improvements is much more like a bar while maintaining the coziness and low key socializing vibe that its predecessor built a reputation for. Monroe is full of rowdy joints. This is a very exciting return to neighborhood. Cocktail menu is coming soon...and hopefully some happy hour specials!

Get the French onion soup. They make it with a grilled goat cheese sandwich instead of the standard croutons. And the cheese is super thick and rich and the broth was delicious. Will 100% get this again. The haddock fish fry was good, crispy but thinner parts of the fish were a little dry. The beef on weck was awesome. Very tender sliced beef, soft roll with lots of salt and caraway. Horseradish sauce was creamy and just hot enough to add some kick. Au Jus on the side so the roll didn't sog out. VERY good.

The tables are all barrel type tops with bar stools. If you want anything you need to go up to the bar to order regardless of food or drink. The wings and sandwiches were good and I tried the local specialty which is called the garbage plate. Two hamburger patties covered in chili, macaroni salad, French fries with a gravy. It wasn't bad and considering how hungry I was it worked. The wings were in need of more seasoning as they were Cajun hot wings.

After walking and driving past this spot for years (yes, years!), we finally stopped in and I'm…read moreglad we did. Inside, it has that classic old school bar vibe with wood accents, a few seats at the bar, and about eight tables. There's usually a TV on, but it's not overly loud. It feels like a neighborhood place with regulars, and I get the sense soccer fans love it here. (Or as it's called football) The outdoor seating, though, is where it's at when the weather's nice. Plenty of tables, perfect for people watching or just enjoying the view down Park Ave or Oxford Street. They offer beer on tap, cocktails, and even branded t-shirts and sweatshirts. Food can be ordered from a spot down the street I think it's Vasko's, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. You can pay per drink or run a tab. It's a small place, but a great option to walk to, grab a drink, hang outside, and just chill. Street parking is available, but if you're nearby, walking over is probably the easier option. I'll definitely be back.

I've been a loyal customer at this establishment for nearly 20 years and never expected to…read moreexperience what I did. For years, I had no issues--until one of the security guards, an older light-skinned man with dreadlocks who has worked there forever, began targeting me for no reason. On multiple occasions he acted aggressive and confrontational toward me, even though I never raised my voice or reacted negatively. The last incident was the worst. He disrespected me in a way no customer should ever experience, threatened to "f** me up,"* and had me banned despite the fact that I never did anything to him. His hostility seems to stem from the fact that he doesn't like someone I happen to associate with--someone who also never disrespected him. What makes this even more concerning is that the owner appears to allow this type of behavior. I've seen this guard act out for years, and instead of correcting it, it feels like it's been encouraged. Many people I know have had negative experiences at this bar, and some have even lost their lives due to the environment created when drug activity is allowed inside. I've spent thousands of dollars here over the last 17 years, and never have I been disrespected the way I was by someone who is supposed to ensure customer safety. I considered speaking to the owner directly, but based on what I've witnessed, I truly believe she condones this behavior from her staff. After nearly two decades of loyalty, I can confidently say I will never return.

We did not feel rushed and enjoyed our meal in the wide open dining area. After eating we checked out the two floors of games. While we didn't play any on this visit, we have in the past and it always makes for a fun evening.
