The drinks were amazing, the charcuterie board was a hit with all at our table and just the right amount of a snack for the four of us before we ordered the pizza option from next door. Our youngest daughter noted it was the best pizza she's ever had. We also found it pretty delicious. The waitresses deserve a major shout out..I wish I had gotten their names...but....nonmatter which one ended up at our table they were extremely sweet and accommodating and extra kind to our kids. Before heading out- one of the waitresses helped me pick out a few tonics to take home with me and even sent me on my way with a couple of recipes from drinks I really enjoyed while there. They were beyond sweet as they stuffed a few extra mints and a 15 percent off coupon in our bag. Though my husband and I have been here many times and have never had a poor experience, this was by far our favorite time....our kids ages 6 and 9 were super happy and raved about it to their older sister and grandparents for the whole rest of the week-- this says a lot from them, trust me. Thank you for giving us a family friendly experience while still getting to enjoy some adult style (cocktails for husband- mocktails for me) beverages with amazing food. P.s. We ALWAYS love the windows that open to the outside...such a vibe.

The ladies who work here are very polite and professional, great bartenders. The men,…read moreunfortunately, are usually less than professional, especially with their language and manner. Whenever we are here when the men are serving (especially Mark), they tend to be less mindful of customers, less careful with making drinks, and use coarse language. Just a heads-up. If you walk in, check to see who is serving before you sit down.

The Liquor Lounge is a cute, little, jazzy cocktail bar located in the heart of Monticello…read more This place is kind of small and could very easily be passed right by. While there is signage in both the front and the rear of the building you could easily mistake this place for a dive bar or even being shut down. I assure you, it's not. Once you walk in you notice a beautifully decorated lounge. Floor to ceiling mirrors ans drapes make the room appear much larger than it is. Nice leather chairs creating little seating areas and the bar can hold about 12 people. There is lots of music/musician memorabilia on the walls and some fun fixtures. Our party of 7 took up the last available seats in the otherwise packed house. We were greeted by a very busy, yet smiling, owner, Angie. She let us know she had a few drinks to make and would be back to take our order. She was the only one behind the bar and was struggling a bit to keep up. Had lots of hustle, though. The wait was a little longer than one would like be but not bad. The drinks were worth the wait. Our party of 7 all ordered something different and we all very much enjoyed our drinks. On top of well made cocktails, the prices were more than reasonable - all between $9-$12 a drink. I very much enjoyed my experience and would absolutely recommend this little lounge.

I love French dips and had to try it here. The menu said that it was "piled high" which is why I got the sandwich. It was definitely a huge disappointment to see that piled high meant literally only two slices of roast beef. I didn't complain but I was really bummed. The highlights were the chicken cordon Bleu balls with ranch and the portobello mushroom bites with marinara. They were to die for. So good especially the Bleu bites. Lastly. I tried the catfish because I love catfish. These fingers were soo overly greasy I had to pick a lot of the breeding off which left me to realize there's barely any fish in there. Overall not bad. I'd try other options if I was passing through the area again. I'd definitely get the Bleu bites again. The waitress was also very friendly and made the experience pleasant.

My family has been coming here for years and we all order the same thing every time we come, and it's always phenomenal! The beef is SOOO tender, it literally melts in your mouth. And don't get me started on the wild rice. It's cooked to perfection and it's so buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere: Bergen Bar & Grill is a smaller restaurant that's first come first serve -- no reservations. You put your name and phone number on a notebook and they call you when your table is ready. Depending on the time you arrive, it can be a longer wait. However, they have a lovely patio where you can wait for your table OR you can hang out in your car. They do serve drinks on the patio which is a nice touch! One other thing to note, they are cash/check only. No credit cards so plan accordingly. Overall, I highly highly recommend Bergen Bar & Grill! You won't be disappointed.
