Monkey Bar

Park in the site garage, they'll validate your ticket. Just order a pizza at the bar and take a seat anywhere in this comfy, spacious but cozy space. Service was amicable and thoughtful, and the funghi pie was delish. So-Cal chill vibes, lovely dinner, would go back.

RESORT BAR(3 stars)Monkey see... should Monkey do? - FOOD/DRINKS: ok- SERVICE: meh- PRICE: Resort prices- VIBES: people vacationing If you aren't staying in the area then expect to park in the parking garage and pay ~$5+ for ~1hr+. Open concept with live music, star gazing... and old drunk business men. Annoying old business men who are a bit off. This bar is tucked inside but outside of Town and Country Resort neighboring Arlo. Outdoor space was nice - first come first served, open seating for visitors. It's a bit loud with echoing conversation and music (I'd hate to live in the surrounding condos and apartments):: SERVICE ::You have to wave them down. They aren't good at tracking people and tables. Kind of weird, even on less busy days.:: SIPPIES & BITES ::DRUNKEN MONKEY ($18) - Kettle One Orange Vodka, Orange Liquor, Coconut Run, Grenadine, Pineapple Juice, Lemon Juice, Edible Flower. Drink was nice and tropical! I was hoping to see something with banana flavor on the menu (hence it is the Monkey Bar) but saw several drinks with orange liquor, orange bitters, and in general the word "orange" kept standing out. Went with this drink because it was safe and looked like their signatures/main drink from their short cocktail list. Due to the lack of service I started to get hungry and ate my pineapple garnish. RECOMMEND SIDE OF FRIES (~$6) - wasn't there to eat but needed something to munch on while drinking. I liked the fries! They were seasoned, crispy, and perfect for something light. RECOMMEND Probs won't be back. Rather go to the other two restaurants what share the same outdoor space if I want to enjoy this space again. Monkey see... Monkey don't!Until the next review...

A solid 4.5 stars but I will round up for them! I'm here for happy hour as I work in the area. HH offerings aren't the best you'll find in town but I'll take a cheap glass of wine and $1 off pizza most days. The pizza is solid and I do like it but it isn't so good that I'm seeking out going here for the pizza specifically. I love the Funghi and the Spaniard is second. For happy hour the wine is pretty dang good. (Normally I find HH wine to be worse than those cheap Trader Joe's bottles you get when you're just feeling like grabbing whatever. That isn't the case here). Again, I'm not so in love with the wine that I'm coming here for the glass but all these factors combined make it a fantastic spot. Truly why I'm here is the ambiance. It's an "open air/inside" sort of space. I prefer sitting at the bar looking out towards the grassy area. I've been here both when it's slow and when it's busy and it's always been a great experience. The bar tenders are nice and even when there's been a convention there and it's been very busy they are mindful and keep track of us lil solo happy hour birds. Great for people watching! I study here, bring friends here, have been on a date here; I think it goes well for just about any occasion. Parking is validated I believe up to two hours as well which I LOVE! You can park in the structure so there's no driving around hunting for a spot like a lot of places in SD. Bathrooms are some of the cleanest in the city.

Monkey Bar caters to young couples and families. Great place for summer vacations! Not on the coast so more predictable weather.

We came here for drinks and small bites after attending a film festival. On Yelp, the hours of operation says open until midnight. We got here around 9:30pm and found out that the kitchen had closed and the only food available were some prepackaged egg salad sandwiches and salads. It's a bit misleading if you want food and drinks because none of the food items on the menu were available.I ended up just getting a cocktail only. I don't remember what I got because it was something recommended by our server and not on the cocktails list. It was really strong and tasted like straight up vodka (not lemony as I had expected).The bar is situated inside the Town & Country Resort and is connected to a beautifully lit outdoor patio. There are seats at the bar and the lounge area. We opted for the fireplace to keep us nice and toasty.

Thank you Hailee/Haylee (so sorry for spelling your name incorrectly. For being so kind and going above and beyond making my time feel welcoming.

Enjoyed drinks several times here while staying at the town and country. They have great indoor and outdoor seating.Service was good, on our last night they were a bit understaffed but it's a nice place to have a drink

Great time! My wife and I stopped by here for happy hour to check out the new renovations - wow! She had a couple of sparkling wines and I had a couple pilsners. We order from the decent selection of happy hour items. We had two pizzas - One Fungai and one Chorizo. Decent enough size to request a to go box. Atmosphere was amazing. Live music was being performed by Christian Jules Taylor who if you haven't heard - is a must. Stop by if in the mission valley area, you won't be disappointed!

Came here on a 2nd date. If you don't mind drinking in a hotel lobby, this place is really nice!! Lots of seating. Special cocktails. Nice bartender. Bar food was really good. Would definitely come back.

It was okay, customer service is not great, food is decent. Place is beautiful but drinks are so so
