A good time - YES Good customer service - YES…read moreFamily owned and also treats you like family - YES I went on a Friday night which was Karaoke night. The drinks were flowing and some good singing was being done. They also have hookah. I will totally return the next time I'm in the Charlotte/Monroe area.

This place is a hidden gem. I frequently pass this restaurant/bar and was excited to finally try…read morewhen my co workers decided to have a party here. It's a large space with two different areas even a stage. There is plenty of parking but it's hard to see the line of the road at night. They seriously need repacking and another light. We had appetizers the meatballs were soft and delicious the rice was well-prepared and the green beans were yummy. The drinks are my favorite part was the long island ice tea-it's something that I highly recommend and comes strong. The vibe and energy of the staff was really cool. Super chilled and low key "the spot". Try them Out you will be pleasantly surprised.

I love the concept of self pour. I like to try things but not always get a full pour of them…read more When I go to breweries I tend to get flights and this concept basically lets you do the same thing. It's also kinda nice for other reasons like if it is busy you don't have to wait for someone to serve you and if you hate talking to people you don't have to keep asking them for your next round. I highly recommend grabbing some food next door at Patty and the Dogs and bring it over here to eat while enjoying a drink.

A little piece of history and a whole lot of choices. I have a habit of calling this "Dean Place"…read morebecause he is who you find behind the bar ready with a joke or a new beer recommendation. It's called the Courthouse because it's across the street from Monroe's historic courthouse. You'll find pictures of the way Monroe used to be on the walls. (it's nice that he has pieces of history on display) There are SO many choices from ciders to stouts you'll find something for everyone. Oh. Did I mention they have Prosecco on tap? If you like mimosas they have orange juice as well. It's dog-friendly as well!! The owner Dean always has some treats and pets ready. Definitely one of Monroes gems!

This is one of my favorite date night places!…read more The owners are friendly and always have great suggestions as to what you should drink that day! Homebrew specializes in adult beverages that are local to North Carolina so if you want someone visiting to have a taste of home then this is the place. They are dog-friendly (they have smoothie bowls for dogs I believe). They have sip-and-paint classes about once a month and local bands on the regular. They even have a karaoke night! Did I mention they have a beer club where you can get a plaque on the wall? Ask about the beer venturers!

Like to try new places. This was a disappointment. Some say the food is good. I must disagree…read more Got the sirloin steak medium rare with mashed and green beans. Green beans were great. Then tried the steak. It was cooked right, medium rare. From there it went quickly down hill. This was the toughest steak I have ever remember eating. My fork would barely penetrate it. Cutting it moved the meat from side to side. It was riddled with gristle and sinew. I definitely will never order that if I come back. The music was very loud. Holding a conversation would be difficult at best. Leaving with a headache. Waitress's are service challenged. Not once did the waitress stop to ask how my food was. The guy who bussed the plates did not ask either even though he could see alot of steak left on the plate. Tells me they know they sell food that gets complaints if they ask. It was also a job to get a drink. Guy next to me was whistling at the waitress to get service. I worked after a half dozen attempts. She was not busy either instead she was listening to the music and shuffling around. Not a place I would bring my kids. Wouldn't recommend to a friend either. Got to be better places.

Fun spot when they actually stay open for as long as their hours saaayyy, they always close early.read more

Stopped in for the Americana vibes with full intentions of trying multiple beers and settling in…read morefor a nice little tasting adventure. That plan lasted exactly one beer--not because the beer wasn't good (it was), but because the situation became untenable. This is a beer‑only spot, and they do beer right. Cold, tasty, and very much the kind of place where you want to sample a few different pours. The owner was extremely nice, genuinely welcoming, and the inside ambiance was cozy, relaxed, and perfect for lingering... under normal circumstances. Now, an important warning for future patrons: Do. not. make. eye contact. with. Man with goatee. Names have been changed to protect this poor man. I don't know why, because I need to protection from him! Roger does not require proximity. Rog does not wait to be introduced. If Rog catches your eye and senses even the slightest openness to conversation, he will latch onto you like a tractor beam. Suddenly Rog is there--locked in, talking directly into your ear, insulting you, monologuing, and completely derailing your plans to enjoy literally any additional beer. Once the insults begin, your tasting plans are over. The only remaining option is to chug your beer so you have a socially acceptable excuse to leave. This is no longer a fun beer experience--it is an extraction mission. So yes--great beer, great owner, great atmosphere. We wanted to try more beers. We truly did. But Rog made escape the priority. Would return. Would avoid eye contact and drink defensively next time.

The kids meal looked so bad, I'll safely assume the chef left his glasses at home. The manager on-duty took a minute to come to refund the item. She very nonchalantly completed the transaction, apologized, and went on her way. There is no perfect restaurant; we've been patrons for years. High turnover with staff, though service is satisfactory. Kitchen staff just needs a "makeover" at times. When preparing food, one must ask, would I want to eat what I prepared? #FoodForThought *Ordered take out. Evenings usually have loud music at times, but expected in evenings to get patrons "pumped", I guess! ‍
