The Monkey Bar

Hit for a midweek lunch. Party of three and we were seated…read morebar adjacent. Ordered our food and the portions were very large. My sandwich was very good and the turkey was not dry at all. Wish there was a tad bit more avocado on it since it was in the name of the sandwich but overall pretty good. Fish and chips is always a good choice here with a large fillet well breaded and fried to perfection. The fries are a good portion too. My son had currywurst off the seasonal menu (changes every week) and he said it was very good. I have noticed a trend here though. Absent servers. Take your order. Maybe check on e food shows up brought by the expediter and that's it. No drink refresh unless you flag them down. Not sure if sections are assigned or I have been the victim of tables assigned being far apart. Either way seems like they think their job is done once food hits the table. The pretzel must be food service sourced not home made. They are inconsistent in size visit to visit and the beer cheese is runny. Sadly only three stars this visit.

The place is very open, so of course it's pretty loud. There's plenty of sports on the TV to watch and plenty of sitting around the bar to watch it on. Our waitress was Eva. Very friendly and sweet. Service was kinda slow but not enough to be mad about. I'm not picky but some in my party are. I started with the parliament soup. Ofc for a super cheap soup how couldn't you get it!! It's always delicious and a favorite. We ordered an appetizer for the table. The Ale Cheese and bread. Again you really can't go wrong. The cheese is delicious. There's an assortment of bread to accompany it. My dinner was chicken pot pie. As to be expected it tasted like a pot pie should. It's not over the top but it's good. Served with cabbage and more pumpernickel bread that I use for the cheese. They did finish out the night singing happy birthday with kazoos.

The staff was overall awesome and some of my friends and I ate-egg rolls, flat bread and it was ok. .I arrived to meet a bunch of coworkers with friends that were local and familiar to the pub and they recommended the orange crush alcoholic beverage that was fairly good but I'm not much of a drinker and don't really like OJ in my alcoholic beverages. We were there during the FIFA soccer matches and enjoyed the one man band also. It's a pretty cute little spot that I would return to however I wasn't impressed with the food I tasted but maybe it was an off night or just the food we ordered wasn't that exciting.

We ordered the coconut shrimp app (highly recommend) , poke nachos , and shared the south seas (mahi) tacos. The poke nachos were a large appetizer for a reasonable price given the generous amount of ahi tuna present. I thought both apps were very good but the tacos were sub par. Unlike the nachos, the tacos had very little mahi. The ratio of lettuce to mahi was like 3:1. The best part of the tacos dish turned out to be the rice and beans that came on the side. The beans were well seasoned and came in clutch as hungover leftovers the next day. Our server, a young lady, was very polite and checked on us often.

This is the worst owned/operated pub in the world. Caveat:Bobby the bartender is super cool. His boss, the owner, Tony, is YHUGE asshole. We went to On the Rocks, aka the Smoke Pit (it stinks) during Hurr Dorian. First night was cool with Bobby but Tony aka "The YHUGE Asshole" was not there. He'll screw things up shortly. The next night after 3 nights and 13 days for the frickin hurricane to get thru we went back. The drunkest, rudest patron I've ever seen at a bar orders some drunk/high chick to make our drinks and only later do we realize he is the owner and she is some, well, drunk/high chick. He's so F-ing drunk he has less drunks make the drinks. To shorten the story, see the posts below. Yep, same crap, different night. But we actually watched him pour crap vodka in a Titos bottle and crap bourbon in Chivas bottle. He was so hammered he couldn't even see us standing there watching him. The place stinks, the owners an asshole and I hope Bobby finds a better deal. I'd go back to the worst bar in Chimbote before I'd go back to this S-hole.

John H. How long were you there before you noticed the concept is a bar with tables. There's no servers. Don't bitch because nobody waited on you. It's a laid back place ran through the bar with an extensive beer selection. Which means you have to be smart when you order as well. I'm sure your beer was a liter, but kegs are priced a high as $350 now a days for quality if you want to drink something of higher quality, so next time you go to a similar place get off your fat ass and order a $3 pint of Bud Light. I'm sure your friend in the band is embarrassed by your post. When you support a band you go spend money. You didn't help them by spending a whopping $8 and then bitching about it. Just stick to the dive bars like Last call that you are used to. Unfortunately they don't have servers either. read more

Security let a group of people steal the pool table I was actively playing on, scream in my face and call me slurs. They said there was nothing they could do about it bc they "had a full house". I confronted the people saying they couldn't do that. Security put their hands on me, removed me from the bar, didn't let me grab my belongings or even close my tab. I luckily grabbed my phone off the table while being pushed out. I was treated less than this group of cis white men. That security guard needs to lose his job tbh. I should have been allowed to grab my belongings and he should not have put his hands on me. Do not go here unless you want to be harassed by men/dehumanized, then told you should leave instead of the men. 0/10 I've been here multiple times and it's always a problem. read more

I went to monkey bar August 2021, and I did know that there is usually an admission charge for men. However, I was forcefully removed from premises on the basis of my sexual orientation. (only had one drink at the bar) That's a story for another day... In addition, many patrons do smoke cigarettes and cigars indoors, obviously mask wearing, social distancing, general cleanliness procedures were lacking during the pandemic. Finally, staff does a poor job of bussing tables and making sure that half eaten burgers, plates of chicken bones are put away. Its SUPER fun being on a dance floor with all of that going on. Am I surprised for a redneck brevard county establishment? not at all. But you've been warned. read more
