    Strawberry Smash
    Tami A.

    I visited The Monkey Bar during Marysville's Strawberry Festival, and it was a fun little adventure. The place was packed (understandably so!), and while there are three floors, it seemed like only the lower two were in use. Still, there was plenty of seating and room to roam. The bar has a definite dive bar charm, with a lively, local vibe. There were games like pool, skee-ball, and others that added to the laid-back, casual energy. The staff was fantastic--super friendly and upbeat, even with the festival rush. They went all in on the strawberry theme with cute decorations hanging from the ceiling and drinks served in plastic strawberry-shaped cups. A really fun touch! As for food, I took a chance on the "calamari"--which turned out to be a cleverly disguised sliced hot dog shaped like an octopus. Unexpected? Yes. Oddly delicious? Also yes. Definitely not your standard bar food, but it totally worked in a novelty kind of way. If you're looking for a relaxed, playful spot with strong hometown energy--especially during a festival--Monkey Bar delivers.

    Came to Monkey Bar cause we seriously needed a drink and we wanted to try the place because we never been here. Jasmine was our server and she makes the best damn margaritas I have ever had in a good while! Yum! was very pleased! We also got the chicken quesadilla and chicken tenders! They were pretty large portions and very tasty! Very enjoyable! Plus plus in food! The ambiance is really nice. Good music. Loved the grinch Christmas decor. Will be back with friends! We've had friends curious of the spot as well. Def recommend!

    Went here after work on a Friday night. Steady but not too busy. Decor is kind of confusing but thats beside the point. Ordered a regular hot dog and this is what came out. Terrible presentation, tasted weird and overall... wtf?? Nothing on it? Boyfriend got some spicy jalapeño hot dog that you had to cut into and eat. That was also served in a basket with paper, so he was trying to avoid eating paper... kitchen didn't think that one through. Maybe serve it on a plate? Server felt bad she could tell the food was not great. Don't think we will be back based off of this experience.

    This place has great vibes. Plenty of seating and friendly staff. The bar food was great. And they had a signature drink called jungle juice and it was so delicious. My husband and I randomly wanted to try the place and we were pleasantly surprised.

    Monkey Bar has maintained the dive bar feel , which is sometimes fun. Food was ok, drinks were cold and service was good.

    The 80s called... they want their arcade back (and maybe their joysticks too)!…read more We first spotted Crave 80s Arcade Bar while staying overnight at the hotel that shares its parking lot. At the time, we couldn't check it out because we had our dogs with us. The name came up again at the Marysville Strawberry Festival, and when a friend was in town, we decided to give it a try after dinner. While I was born in the 80s, I wasn't exactly hanging out in arcades back then, so this was a bit of a nostalgic first. When you walk in, the walls are lined with pinball machines. There are a few other games scattered around, but pinball is definitely the star here. At the bar, I asked if there was more to the place, and the bartender pointed us to a "living room" behind the bar where you can sit and play Atari or the original Nintendo. The menus came in trapper keepers, complete with the satisfying Velcro sound, which was a fun touch. The guys jumped on the Atari first, but the joysticks didn't seem to work quite right. They moved on to the Nintendo, which was actually a Raspberry Pi loaded with multiple games. After a short stint there, we headed back out to the pinball area. I'm no pinball expert, but we happened to be there during a tournament, and the boys got schooled by some regulars, which made the experience a bit more fun. I also enjoyed the glass case filled with 80s miniatures and artifacts, and the vending machine stocked with nostalgic items like games, books, and snacks you'd expect from that era. Overall, it was a cool concept but felt a bit underwhelming. It's worth checking out once if you're in the area, but it's not a place we'll likely revisit.

    Full disclosure, I am not a smoker. Every two weeks me and guys head here on a payday to hang out…read more They all enjoy cigars and I have a Long Island ice tea.

    I'm really torn about this place…read more When we first walked in, we were warmly greeted, which made a great first impression. The cigar shop inside the venue was excellent -- the staff member was kind, knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The bartender was also friendly, and the drinks were very good. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for me. As someone who's fairly new to the cigar world, I expected some smoke, but the air quality was extremely rough. Even the seasoned cigar smokers I was with commented on how hard it was to breathe. We asked if they could turn up the HVAC system, which they did, and it helped somewhat, but it still wasn't enough to make the space comfortable. My biggest issue, however, is the lack of compassion shown toward customers -- especially in how negative reviews are handled. The responses to criticism are surprisingly aggressive and defensive. Instead of acknowledging feedback or trying to improve, reviewers are often insulted, berated, and even told not to return. That kind of response is shocking and unprofessional. Most people are simply offering honest opinions as customers, not attacking the business. Whether it's the owners or whoever manages their social media, this approach needs serious reconsideration. Telling customers not to come back because of constructive criticism is not a sustainable or respectful business model.
