  Small local bar, clean with good food. Ive had several menu items with the Italian beef being the best. I also recommend the French onion soup, however avoid the pizza.

  Why hasn't anyone told me about Beaver's Pub in the last year and a half that I've been in Monticello?  I guess I've stumbled across a town secret.  This restaurant has the best hamburgers in town, like the kind you would get in an upsacale restaurant.  It's made of more than half inch thick angus beef, cooked to your liking with a big roll-type bun, not the little, flimsy buns you get at diner and fast food restaurants.  I had the fried chicken which comes with 4 large pieces (enough for two meals or to share).  Whatever the batter is, it's perfect (read enough salt but not too salty) and comes out steaming hot and super crispy without being burnt.  The prices are not cheap.  The hamburger was $10.00, and the fried chicken was almost $12.00, I think, but they are definitely worth what you pay.
  
  The decor is not upscale and looks like it's circa the 70's.  It's a bar with a restaurant inside.  The seating is old booths or those cheap metal and vinyl chairs and veneer wood tables.  There are at least 4 tvs, and none of them are flat screens.  The place does have a simple, good ole boy character.  You can easily imagine a lively Harley Davidson reunion here.  
  
  The bar tender was also the waiter the Saturday afternoon we were in.  He could teach a class in customer service to all the waitresses in every restaurant in town.  He was attentive without being overbearing, nice without being sugary sweet, accurate, punctual and just did his job super well.  The kitchen though is quite slow.  When there are only half a dozen people (most of whom are sitting at the bar) and only two couples at a booth, I don't think there's any excuse why it should take over half an hour to get our meal.
