The Monkey Pub

We stopped in for trivia night and it was a lot of fun! Their setup for trivia is great (albeit long), and the woman hosting was hilarious. I just had a coke, but my friends said that the alcoholic drinks were cheap and good.The only downside is the setup. There are barely any tables, just weird benches (almost like the type you see in church) along the walls with a pool table taking up considerable space in the middle of the room. So if you're there with more than 2 people, it's a bit awkward to chat since you're all sitting side-by-side. And if you're doing trivia, you'll just have to use your lap as a table for writing.

I don't get it. I love dive bars but this is just obnoxious and poorly set up. It's shaped oddly and the pool table is in a weird spot. There are only like 4 bar stools and limited seating.The crowd is obnoxious (I know I know.... location), and if you happen to stumble in during trivia night do your self a favor and run away quickly. The guy who hosts this thinks he's absolutely hilarious (he's not), the sound system is poopy and the volume *WAY* too loud. Stupid questions. :/

I'm having trouble reconciling two contradictory beliefs. Perhaps you can help me. First, I believe we must resist the message that people's consumer choices reflect their inner nature and worth. That's a myth that's used to urge us to buy more - and more expensive - stuff. But on the other hand, if I see you wearing a trilby, I believe you probably like to neg women and that you wish that science fiction stories would "go back to before all this politics got into everything." So I accept that the Monkey Pub's vibe might not be everything to everyone. Maybe you like a bathroom without any graffiti. That's you. But if you like a chill place with different kinds of people, affordable drinks, fun karaoke with a low threshold for participation, and free pool, then you should choose to go to this bar. It won't necessarily make you a better person; that is a myth. Just go, and leave your trilby at home, and don't neg anyone, and accept that opening a genre to diverse voices inevitably leads to better stories. You will have a terrific time.

Perfect dive bar.Monday is $4 well drinks, and the pool tables are cheap indeed (free right now, on a Monday night).They have some interesting posters taped to the ceiling, and the bartenders are nice. The lights are cloth rather than glass.

I give it 5 stars mainly because I was a fan of 90210 so basic high school drama appeals to me. One time this guy Zack needed a science project finished and didn't want to do it himself, so he pretended to be a girl so his friend Screech would do it for him. As IF! Then there was this girl Emily introduced in season 2, she dated this guy Dylan AND Brandon in two days! Scandal!Zack can also stop time, I am not sure if everyone else can tell, but the viewer can. He talks to me through the screen, detailing his plans. He seems to have god like powers but his plans always fall through in the end. Its a real tortoise and the hare situation. I told the bartender about Zach and Emily and he was all like, I wasn't really into 90210 but Saved by the Bell was kind of cool I guess. KIND OF cool? Lametron.

There was a small group of us who'd gone in for trivia night. It's a funky little place with a scattering of tables in the front, pool tables towards the back (which are irrelevant for trivia night, of course), and benches on either side of the pool tables. Fortunately, we'd gotten there early enough to secure a nice table that fit all 6 of us comfortably.Reasonable selection of draught beers and a full bar. I got the Jellyfish IPA, which I hadn't had before. It's a local west coast-style IPA that was pretty good. I covered some of my friends' drinks across the evening (we traded off throughout the evening), and when I got the final bill at the end of the night, the bill seemed outrageously low. I felt bad, so I padded the bill with a good tip. FYI, the folks working behind the bar were so nice! They remembered me each time I went up to the counter and addressed me by name. It was a nice touch.Trivia night was so much fun! Our team didn't do exceptionally well, but we're going to have to come back and try again!

I didn't eat food here. Not sure they even serve food. The service was excellent for a bar. Super fun vibe with two pool tables and apparently they play music sometimes. There is a decent selection of beers on draft too. The glasses in the photo are empty, but a friend and I shared two Hazy IPA's from a local brewery. This is a dive bar. The interior is decorated with Polaroid photos, art, and the ceiling has cool things like kegs, a phone, and signage. Forgot to take pictures. Street parking seems to be plentiful too. Go. Have. A drink. Cheers!!

Great but the new assistant bar tender ignores me every time I try to order. Unbelievable

Cheap drinks and fun trivia. Mr. Door loves Patrick as the host! Definitely a fun place for college friends to hang out.

I asked the bartender to make me a flaming doctor pepper and he made me something that tasted like gasoline. But he made a recovery when he said The Sonic movie was good. I preceded to down the horrible drink with stunning resilience. He refused to put my name on the wall.
