The servers worked great as a team and our order was taken promptly, food came out steaming hot, tables were bussed quickly. Great teamwork. I had to have the smash burger as it seems to be a signature item. It was so good! Two huge patties. I got mine with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and sauted onions. Fresh. Delicious. Love the little crisp on the smash burger. So good. My side was a salad but I may have stolen a fry just for a taste test and they had my approval. I can't believe we almost drove away.

I Yelped bourbon bars, and found Erin's Snug just down the street from our hotel. I had hoped to have corned beef and cabbage, but was told they were out. Ugh. So I settled for a Reuben. (I looked at him quizzically when he told me they could still make this, but he said the corned beef was prepared a different way. It was kind of shredded.) This wasn't optimal for my low-carb diet, but I pulled off most of the bread and went with it. It was okay, but not great. Kind of disappointing. My Maker's Mark Manhattan, on the other hand, was quite tasty. My husband had the stew, and said it was very good. It came with a large piece of bread on top, maybe soda bread, and was served in a large bowl, Other than the bartender making a joke about how they wouldn't put the Bears game on because this was Packers country (as it turns out, he's from Buffalo), and being oddly out of corned beef and cabbage, the evening was nice.

They were not that busy, although the bar seats were mostly filled and a quite a few tables were empty. We started with an appetizer of white cheddar cheese curds which were slightly crispy and warm, and served with a side of ranch dressing. They were a bit on the saltier side, but were delicious. We also ordered a beer to go with it. My husband chose the Oktoberfest beer and I chose the Great Lakes Porter. We both agreed that the beer was on the verge of being warm. For dinner my husband ordered a cowboy burger and I chose the bacon cheese burger. My husband swapped out the Bourbon BBQ sauce with beer cheese sauce. The burgers came out cooked to perfection, at medium rare, topped with crispy onions and served with their homemade chips. My husband's burger also had jalapenos. The crispy onions were awesome, but do get a tiny bit soft when placed on a warm burger. I only wish it was topped with more crispy onions, as they were delicious! The burgers came with a side of their homemade chips. The chips were crisp and not oily. However, I couldn't taste any seasoning on them, so I thought they were mediocre. Our server at the bar was very nice. She was constantly on the run and works hard. Overall, we had a good experience, and will return again.

No, I'm not going to tell you what they have there, that's another review. The drinks are awesome and the bartender doesn't let your glass stay empty, he's right on it. They have a nice variety of beer, and alcohol. They even carry those CBD drinks and soda. The bartender knows how make lots of drinks and my favorite is a shot called the salted nut roll. Yum They have a nice back room with a fireplace and pool table. I love it that when it's someone's birthday they will celebrate that person with decorations and snacks. It's just one of those places that I usually go ok, I used to go on Wednesday and meet up with some awesome friends. I had to start adulting. I miss them.

It wasn't crazy busy at 7pm and the staff looked like they were enjoying their guests and time. They had all kinds of sports on, and had the Brewers baseball game playing overhead. There was a good crowd of people in good spirits. I ordered a blackened chicken cilantro lime rice bowl and later ordered some fried pickle spears. Great food! The rice bowl had a lot of flavor. With the lime squeezed over the top and added salsa, it was extremely tasty. The pickle spears were seasoned in the batter and the spicy ranch it came with was really good. I'd recommend Monk's to a sports fan looking for some quick bar food and games to watch. I'd come back to try a famous burger or some wings!

My husband ordered the cheese curds and onion rings to start off with. The cheese curds were delicious, served with a ranch and marinara sauce. I am not a fan of onions rings, but these were awesome, and served with what appeared to be a chipotle type of sauce, but they called it fancy sauce. The onion rings were not just one ring, but two rings. Tonight I chose a Reuben sandwich, to get off track, and possibly like something else on the menu. I was still disappointed. I looked at the Reuben and said where's the beef? Seriously, it was not a Reuben you would expect, with a small amount of corned beef. The corned beef was slightly tender, but not tender enough, and their sauce on top was so limited, that it was a very dry sandwich. I chose the beer battered fries. They were okay, but still dry. It was an overload of fries, so much that I couldn't finish them. My husband chose the Alamo burger, sans the BBQ sauce. I am not sure why they placed the mozzarella wedge on top of the burger instead of inside the burger. Correction, he said there were two mozzarella wedges on top, but he ate them outside the burger. I took this picture after the first one was eaten up. The staff was attentive, and I liked this location more, as it was smaller and not so loud.
