    Scenic views, lots of great seating options. Fire pits in the summer. Music always playing. This place has a lot of vibes if you just want to be outside with a beer. The food is basic but good - great hot dogs and surprisingly good pizza - but $15 is a lot for a personal sized pizza. "Grille" is a generous term for it. There's usually an additional food truck too though so that's nice. I've never been impressed with the staff - they always act like they can't be bothered. All in all - if you want a place outside for beer go here. If you want more full service I'd recommend elsewhere.

    The location alone makes this place worth a visit. Sit on the patio overlooking the river. Dance with locals to live music. Or enjoy the historic brick bar's indoor/outdoor seating and tvs that play the local games. Food trucks, lots of draft beers, and friendly service make this place special.

    tasty food, great views, and fast service! love this place for a quick dinner and patio time. i love the chili cheese dog 10/10. the fries are a newish addition and are so crispy and tasty. we also tried the cheese bread and it was alright. kinda just tasted like a pizza with no sauce. 6/10. we also tried the potato skins and wish they had a little bit more flavor. 7/10.

    Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap

    Got yelled at multiple times. Half the menu wasn't available. Served the chicken bacon ranch wrap without the chicken bacon ranch wrap. MEAN teenagers. Busboy was cool though.

    Live music on the river

    Good food at competitive prices for the area. Bourbon prices are $$$. Definitely keeps someone from over indulging.

    Great place in a great location for drinks. Only downside of the place is that the drinks are expensive.

    Ask the Community - The Monkey Bar & Grille

    Do they have tvs to watch sports?

    Yes they have several including a projection screen outside.

    Is this location dog friendly?

    Definitely. Usually see a couple of dogs on the big patio every time I visit. It can get pretty packed some days so as long as the pup is ok with a crowd.
