First thing is they have touch tunes so you can set your own vibes for the night. The decor and lighting is perfect. A lot of velvet seating and gold accents. It is a dog friendly space which is kind of random for a cocktail bar but I don't mind it. I pet 4 dogs. The bartenders were super nice. I ordered the "Yes you can buy me love" which was Espolon Tequila, Strawberry, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Coconut Milk, Mint, Sugar Rim. It was really good. I also tried my husband's "Stuck in a Snowbank" which was state line coffee liqueur, bourbon cream, frangelico, cold brew. It basically tasted like a coffee that was a little sweeter. All the cocktails were great. Again I'm so glad we stumbled across this stop because even the bar goers were super nice.

The lounge has a moody vibe that you really wouldn't guess from the outside. It's the perfect place to escape the cold and warm up with a cozy cocktail. They also change their cocktail menu seasonally, offering something a little fun for each season. It's evident the owners care about the community, as they are frequently offering events to support local providers (River Valley Food Pantry on the night we were there), and have specials for those who we couldn't be without (hello nurses and teachers). They're also dog friendly!

Monk's Bar & Grill was a fun bar and grill to visit on a Friday night. I came out to stay a night…read morein Madison, WI, to break up my road trip and this looked like a great spot to watch hockey playoffs. 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!

They offer different cheap drinks specials different days of the week and serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Every-time, we go to the Rock Sports Bar and Grille it's always a lively fun atmosphere with lots of patrons and a great way to meet friendly local people in the area! It's a great place to go especially in the summer time especially with the outdoor patio with a fire pit! This bar keeps patrons busy hosting several weekly events like pool leagues/tournaments, dart leagues, trivia nights, and more! My husband and I love their food! They mostly serve burgers, chicken wings, salads, and have great seafood options for their traditional Fish Fry Fridays! I love ordering their crispy fried chicken wings and always request them to be topped with their delicious irresistible Cajun seasoning which gives the wings a nice extra kick that is really satisfying! My husband and I enjoy many menu items such as the boneless wings, fried shrimp, and their sandwiches. I was also pleasantly surprised at how amazing their salads are. Their salads were a good portion size and fresh! As far as service, we have always received great service from the different bartenders working there and they make sure to take care of their customers! Check out The Rock Sports Bar and Grille if you ever in the area and looking for a great time with great food and drinks!

Our server was super kind and attentive, and was very capable of answering my questions about the beer menu. I wish there was a darker option on the menu, but I get that it's "only" October and I'm hoping to come back and see some options as winter kicks into gear. There were still a lot of ipa/hazy ipa options on the menu but definitely some more October-type beers as well as your standard lager/ale types. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, and while I'm not really a slaw person, it came on the sandwich and I hate to remove such a key item. I liked the texture of the slaw more than normal slaw you often get, and the chicken was nicely cooked. It was a bit messy, but I'm just a messy person so zero judgment there! I also ate it in its entirety. I wasn't as wild about their french fries -- definitely needed ketchup and a lot of them were kind of the burnt crispy reject ends. Next time I might opt for a side salad, but I struggle to turn down potatoes in any form. I'm very much looking forward to returning for a Friday night fish fry and to continue to sample their beer menu. I was likewise impressed that they had a pretty extensive cocktail and liquor menu - something for everyone. Definitely recommend checking them out!

Our server was so kind, she made sure that we were well taken care of, and checked in every so often to see if we wanted any more drinks. But the food-- wow! It was so delicious and I don't think I've had better cheese curds than at Lola's. The cheesiness and crunch were perfect, and it was not too hot to burn your mouth. Everything we ordered was so good, and the Pelmeni was super flavorful. I wish we had more rangoons, but I have no complaints about the food. Passionstar Martini was the best drink we ordered here. I definitely can see myself coming back here for another fun night Only downside about this place is that there are only 2 bathrooms (yes, single-person bathrooms) throughout the entire establishment. It gets a little crowded waiting for it, but otherwise everything else was amazing.
