Well I have had a great time here many times on the deck outside. Inside on a weekday it is low key and is mostly locals. One time there was no bartender for 15 minutes? They have draft and bottle beer as well as a full bar. They also have darts, shuffle board, and an internet juke box. A lot of time they have live music on the deck and it's a big party. They don't serve food but you are in luck because you can pop next door and get a gyro to go from Bakkhus! There are also several other bars just a few feet away! Over all it kicks the crap out of the Kemah Boardwalk  tourist trap experience if you are an adult.
Review Source:Similar to it's neighbor, Palapa's, Monkey Bar is one of the few places I love to hang when I'm in Kemah. The service is always efficient and they showcase great local bands on the weekends.
It's super casual with a great patio that catches a nice breeze off the bay. They have a pool table and a few scattered video games, and even a dart board I think. Â The only downside is that people can smoke inside, and for that reason I spend most of my time here on the patio. Â The music is typically alternative rock, and the bands are the same genre. The staff is super friendly and make a stiff drink.
On my last visit, I had forgotten to close out my tab and realized when I got home. I called the bar and told them I was on my way back to get it. Just as I pulled up, I saw the bartenders heading to their cars and caught them. The girl was so nice and walked back to the bar to close out my tab for me so I could get my card! Now that's service!
Popped in here for a drink mid afternoon on a Saturday. Â M has an iphone app that shows local bar specials. Â Anyway, there were like 6 locals inside at the bar, no one else... anywhere. Â So, trying to avoid looking like a couple schmuck tourists, we ordered 2 Miller Lites and headed outside to sit on the huge patio. Â Even though it is down the road from the water, you can totally see the bay from the patio. Â This place is packed weekend evenings, so we will head back there another night.
Review Source:You have to at least walk into this bar and order one drink if only to admire the many monkeys adorning the place. Â Kind of dumpy, but kind of kitschy - my kind of place! Â The beer was reasonably priced - and cold - both good qualities in beer! Â The patrons seemed nice and were VERY into the football game on the big TV. Â The smoke was an issue - they could use a smoke-eater or two in the place, but it wasn't bad enough to drive us out of there.
We'll go back and you should, too....
This is one of the few places in "Galveston area" that i can say that I enjoyed the place as much as the company. Â Most times I go out down there I don't really care for the spots we go out, its always my friends that make the evening fun. Â But this place was the exception to the rule. Â Its had all the elements I like in a bar. Â Good prices, shuffle board, darts, and a big patio. Â I had a great time hanging out there. Â Its was good times all around. Â My only problem with it would be that there is smoking inside, did kind of make the ol eyes burn. Â
I would have to say it has become my favorite spot in that area. Â Now I just have to find someplace better. Â Like Diddy...Can't stop, won't stop eh eh eh eh
