Monk's Cove

A cool little dive bar! Gives beachy vibes. It does get crowded fast so not the best place for a big group. They do have a back room which has more space and can be rented out! You're free to chill back there unless it's rented for a party. Dog are welcomed as they have their own bar dog. I think that was my favorite part as a dog lover . They do also provide free popcorn.

Monk's will forever be a fan favorite. We've been coming here for years and while it is small and gets crowded quickly, the atmosphere and service always brings us back. Not to mention, there's a bar dog and TouchTunes, which is an unbeatable duo in my eyes.

What a little piece of the beach and in a city he said built on the river, then monks is for you. Fun staff, the owner is pretty awesome, and his dog is always around. That might be the cherry on top.

Solid dive bar. Spacing isn't ideal for a large group, but the prices were cheap, there was a pool table, and the bartenders were on top of their game. It isn't the best designed space but they've executed well on what they have.

My favorite little bar in Mount Adams. They have jello shot syringes which are always fun, and the shot wheel which can get you into trouble once you try landing on a specific one. The buckets of beer are cheap and they always have good music playing. The only thing is the bathrooms are pretty gross, so be aware of that if you go here.

I'm in between a 4 and a 5, this place is good and if a group of friends wanted to go back I would definitely go!! The bar itself is pretty cool, atmosphere is fun, and being able to get little funny goodies with the purchase of a Jell-O shot is a very fun idea! I just think there are a few things that could be fixed! There's free popcorn which is a GREAT touch, however it was sooo stale it tasted like it had been there for hours! Obviously though, it's free and I don't judge them too much on that. I went on a Saturday night and they weren't that busy, but they only had two bartenders so maybe they just never got around to it! Now to the bartenders. They weren't bad, but not that great. Didn't know how to make the mixed drinks, so had to take back the menu they'd just given us to relearn how to make it. Also, weren't aware of what beers they had on tap, and there were only like 4-5 beers. So when I asked for one of them, they were confused on what I was asking for and chalked it up to "haven't seen that one in a while" but my friend literally just ordered it moments before me from the other bartender. Lastly, they have a pool table and that cool ring game where there's a ring on a string and you try to hook it on to a hook on the wall! Both were super fun, however far too close! It seemed that the people playing each game kept getting in each other's way. However, it's a small bar, and they are obviously just trying to give customers as many options for fun as possible! If you're in Mt. Adams, check this place out! Better for smaller groups than larger groups though!

Monks is fun. Check it Out. Cool stuff. And Jell-O shots !Good place to go to relax with friends. Good place to go to meet friends. Fun bar games like foosball and ring toss and skeetball.Offered Juke Box and free popcorn.

Monks is an awesome little bar! Bar tender Katie did such a good job and I can't thank her enough for a good night! We love monks!!

If you are in the area searching for a bar to visit and you have come across this review know this: if you are not a fan of the rowdy drunk college scene, don't come here after 9-10pm. However if you are looking for an open airy dive bar on a Sunday afternoon, GET HERE. Just use your noggin and know what you are getting into before you come. Why this place is hilarious -- I was hosting an out of towner this weekend and we generally into cocktail bars, and cheese plates. However on a Saturday afternoon we were in the window where a lot of those fancy pants places were closed for lunch. It was a nice day so we decided to venture up to Mt. Adams and ended up at Monk's where the rest of the night was history. After going to nearly 30 different places over the weekend we both agreed our time at Monk's together was one of our favorite memories in our nearly 4 year long friendship. There were probably around 5-7 other people in the place with us on this sunny Easter weekend afternoon. We sat at the bar and were greeted right away. Having heard about their legendary jello shots we thought - when in Rome? (WE NEVER DO THIS) Three syringes later and the boomerang app and viola instant memories are made. They have standard jello shots for $1 or the larger syringe style shot for $3. They also have a shot wheel with specials and a beat the clock game which could really get you into trouble on a Saturday afternoon. Venture into the back for some free popcorn and table games, or find yourself a bar seat to people watch through the front open-air style window. This place can either be your worst nightmare or your best friend depending on the time you go which is the reason for the mixed reviews. For me, and the times I have visited, I have really enjoyed myself and Monk's is quickly becoming one of my favorites which is something I never thought I would hear myself say. Pay them a visit this weekend!

Looking for a fun dive bar? This is the spot! Fun beach vibe and very reasonably priced drinks. They also have a bar dog that is worth the visit alone! I haven't had syringe jello shots in years so it was fun to relive my college years enjoying them. The staff was pretty nice, not super sociable, but they were pretty good about staying on top of getting us another drink.
