Northside Bar & Grill

tl;dr This place rocks.Food: I had the "Northside On Fire" burger. It absolutely lived up to my expectation. High quality beef, ghost pepper cheese, SW sauce, BBQ sauce, etc. Throw a little peanut butter on there and it would be unbeatable. The perfectly breaded dill pickle fries came with SW ranch dipping sauce. Excellent. The onion rings? Not the best I've ever eaten, but still darned good. Honestly, pretty much everything on the menu, including the salads, sounded great.Drinks: With 28 beers on tap, many more in bottles, along with a normally stocked bar PLUS 2 locked cabinets full of top shelves and whisky, mostly bourbon, you should be able to find something to whet your whistle. I must say that I honestly wasn't expecting to find the craft beer! Most of it was from Michigan breweries. The specialty drinks sounded fantastic too. I just may try a Mojito the next time I'm up this way.Atmosphere: Very comfortable. I wouldn't mind being caught here during a snowstorm (which, actually, I was). Now I wouldn't call this a sports bar, but there were plenty of TVs, and Keno, and TouchTunes. It's lively, but not not too noisy. I'll bet it gets crazy during peak hours. If only they had a pinball machine or two. Service: The girl who seated me could have said hello and perhaps managed to smile; at first I feared that this was a "regulars only" bar. But, my fears abated quickly. The waitress (not the hostess, but the WAITRESS) was very friendly and helpful. Maybe it's pretty standard these days, but I always love when the server asks if I'd like to sample a beer before ordering it. She took my order, laughed at a Dad Joke, and had my food out to me posthaste. So far, Northside Bar and Grill rates 5 stars!

Wowed on my first visit! How have I not visited or had the fish & chips? I have been wanting to try the Friday fish fry here for quite some time. Perfectly cooked, crunchy all you can eat battered cod with french fries and cole slaw ($17.99 as of 5/31/24). Put the stop sign up at seven pieces of fish. Wonderful! And a very relaxing patio. Great service too! Looking forward to trying a burger and the prime rib sandwich!

Great place for a burger! Also have the best nachos in Monroe, served Tuesday only. We went tonight and got the Brussel sprouts to start, they were delicious. I got the Rueben with carrot sticks instead of fries. The corned beef was carved and very tender. Hubby got the double cheeseburger with fries, he really enjoyed it Son got Janes Buffalo Blue Cheese chicken burger and devoured it, and he never finishes a sandwich so that said a lot. Great beer selection and great service. Can eat inside or on the patio when weather permits.

A hidden gem not far from the mall in Monroe. We went there before a movie on a Friday night. We both got the all you can eat fish (cod). A decent portion that included a mountain of skinny fries and coleslaw. We might have ordered more fish if we weren't in a hurry. The service was a little slow, which is to be expected on a Friday night. Overall the food, experience, and service were good. We will definitely be back, I'm very curious about the jalapeño popper shrimp appetizer they have.

Stopped by here after the dispensary, vibes were there. Such a nice server and food was well seasoned margarita flight was 5/5

Local bar in Monroe, really liked it, great food, cold beer and a good liquor selection. Great service. Been to Monroe for work twice and have been to this place 4 times!

Stopped here for dinner a few nights ago after checking into my hotel for the weekend. The service was amazing. I ordered the cheddar bacon grilled cheese with sweet potato fries and my daughter ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. We sat on the patio was a beautiful night that night. Our waitress was awesome. When in the area I would stop in again.

We came here with pretty high expectations - I thought it was very good. The service was nice and quick and they were very busy for a random Sunday. My daughter wasn't sure what to get so she got overwhelmed. But it was good. A solid choice for sure, and we'll be back.

Really cold beers and an amazing whiskey list!! Great service and a down to earth bar and grill. Loved the burger and fries. If you are looking for a great place to relax, drink and enjoy some good eats, this is your joint.

Can't give a 5 because we got carry out and didn't get the whole experience, but the carry out experience was awesome. They said 15 minutes and were right on the money. Burgers were great. Great toppings/condiments. Great containers. Cashier was great and friendly . Definitely a place we would like to come back and experience eat-in service. Patio area looks fun.
