    Great staff. Great prices. Best place in Bandera to have a cold brew. To boot, the 3 Monkeys Cycle…read moreand ATV repair is adjacent. Have your ride fixed and coop off here.

    This review is for other bands that might be thinking about playing at this venue…read more Directions: Finding the place from San Antonio is not difficult. Directions on the web appear to be accurate. Enter Bandera on Route 16 from San Antonio. Turn right on Main Street. Go about seven blocks and turn right on Route 173. The Monkey Cage Saloon is located on your left at the bend in the road. Note that the saloon does not have a sign of its own. It's a part of the Three Monkeys Motorcycle & ATV Repair business. When you've found this, you're at the Monkey Cage Saloon. Load-In: Load-in is quite easy. You'll be playing in the covered area in the center of the building. Assuming no parked cars are blocking your access, you should be able to pull up very close to the area where you'll be playing. Note that the parking lot is not paved, so you will probably have to drag your gear across some dirt and gravel. If you're picky about your equipment, you may want to bring a rag or two to dust things off after unloading. You will have to move your vehicle after unloading, but there is plenty of room in the parking area to put a truck and trailer. Stage: There is no stage. You will be playing on the concrete slab. This is not a problem. There's plenty of room to set up and there are two outlets on the wall behind you, each on a different circuit. Be aware that one of the two plug-ins in each outlet is in use, so you will need to have extension cords and/or triple taps to get everything powered up. We had no trouble with having enough power to run everything. Lighting: The venue has no stage lights except for a string of what are basically Christmas lights across one side and the back of the stage. You will want to bring your own. Sound System: The club has no sound system, so you'll need to bring your own. Because you're essentially playing inside a building missing one wall, you may notice some unusual acoustics. We had some feedback issues initially, but nothing that we couldn't wring out. Once we got things set, the overall sound was good. Layout: This is essentially an outside gig. You have a bare concrete slab underneath you, a solid roof overhead and walls on three sides. Your audience is directly in front of you in the parking lot. There is also some seating in a raised area to the left of you. This layout tends to sort of focus your sound. A plus to this layout is that the bar is NOT in front of you so there's no problem with bartenders being unable to hear orders because the band is too loud. There are several doors on the "stage" and you have to be careful with your setup so as not to block any of them. In practice, this was no problem. Volume: We were able to bring our volume up to what we considered a comfortable level for a classic rock band with no issues. Comfort: This is outdoors, so there is no temperature control. They do have water-cooled fans for the band in the summer. In unusually cold weather, the fact that the "stage" has a roof and three solid walls might help to retain heat provided there's not too much wind. Miscellaneous: We broadcasted this gig via Facebook Live and had some trouble maintaining an Internet connection during the broadcast. Once we reduced our frame count, we were able to keep our connection running without trouble. Parking: Plenty of parking, including tandem parking. Venue Management: Pleasant and easy to work with. Very helpful. They're good people and we look forward to our next gig here. Overall: We had a very good gig. The crowd was enthusiastic and responsive. We are excited about the prospect of returning for another engagement.
