Ok I already knew it was going to be a dive bar from the reviews I read.We went Saturday night for the "Hunger Must Die" benefit.I will say I will NEVER go back to this sh**hole place.All you can smell in that place is the sewer system that is definately in need of repair.The food was rancid and the drinks cost too much for what they were.Not worth the drive to Sachse.
Review Source:Yes, this place is in itty-bitty little Sachse, Texas, and is a little bit divey, but that doesn't mean it's a bad place at all.
The owner is a doll; the "slow service" that has been complained about, I understand, but I still don't think it is a reason to knock on the staff. Â They all mingle and join in the antics of the patrons, and I actually really like that. Â Being remembered only my second time back without even making much of an impact the first time really stands out to me.
I've been frequenting here often with my brother, and it's been a lot of fun so far. Â During the week there is glorious karaoke, and always a poker game going on in the back, which is where we spend a lot of our time. Â I mean, the drinks are what they are, but who expects otherwise, really? Â Also, who goes to a biker bar for the food? Â Monkey's is great, and I'll always embrace an opportunity to drop by.
Dive bar, and I don't mean that in a good way. Â I've been here more than once only because the guys I used to hang out with back in the day have morphed into rednecks and insist on frequenting this place. Â Bands play on Fri/Sat nights with around a $5 cover. Â Be prepared for crappy acoustics and LOTS of smoke. Â I wouldn't recommend coming in here alone - guy or girl. Â The pool table appears as if it has seen quite a bit of action and not necessarily from playing pool. Â And if you get ideas of what the stripper pole promises to offer - disappointment. Â Most of the tatted dudes climb aboard after several shots. Â Biker heaven, though. Â Located in Sachse so last call is 11:45 which is probably a good thing. Â Don't say you haven't been warned.
Review Source:Go for the holdem and have fun. This is definitly a smokey bar full of interesting characters. The people are a variable group of professionals, rednecks, and drunks but I garuntee that you'll leave with 20 new friends. It's always inviting with typical dive bar atmosphere.
Overall, I have great time, every time.
Close to home? Check.
Lots of booze? Check.
Lots of tattoos? Check.
Stripper pole? Check.
Outstanding experience? Â Meh.
I had high expectations for Monkey's Pub-n-Grub, so maybe that was why I wasn't blown away. Â It has all the stuff that makes a dive bar great (see above), lots of bikers (always a fun bunch to hang with), and chunky waitresses with their tits hanging out (I like my girls a little thick, beeyotch).
Maybe it was the bad band. Â Maybe it was the bad seats. Â Maybe it was because two double Jack & Cokes, a rum & coke, & a Barcardi silver were $29. Â We stayed long enough to finish our first round and then we headed down the road.
I'm not giving up on you, Monkey's!
How often do you see a girl in a wedding dress in a bar? Probably not very often. Unless you hang out with me that is, then you may get to see something.
Long story short, I was shooting some clients, they wanted to shoot in a bar, so I phoned up my wonderful SIL and we were told that Monkey's was the closest bar type establishment in the area. Off we went! Got there, and asked them if it was cool for us to do the photo thing, and they said it was. So they get points for that one.
Overall the environment was fine. Classic bar music, classic bar decor. Nice of them not to mind us shooting there. However, there were a few things.
The waitress was sooooooooooo slow. Even though we got there pretty early in the evening, and not many people were there. She was SO SLOW. Even after we were done and trying to get a bite to eat and a drink, she was SO SLOW and inattentive. That bugged me.
The food we got was pretty typical bar food, although I think it took greasy to a new level. Grease was pooling up in the bottom of our baskets in a bad way.
Drinks were what they were.
Would I go back? Well I certainly wouldn't drive to Sachse for the hell of it, but if I happened to be there, I wouldn't say no.
You will not be bored in this bar. Â Go on fight night. Â You can see their "domestic dispute" fights where the guy's hands are tied behind his back and the girl beats the crap out of him. Â
There's everything you'd expect from a small Texas town bar that caters to bikers. Â Â If you remember the scene from the Blues Brothers Movie where they kept playing the "Raw Hide" theme song at a country and western bar behind the cage wiring bordering the stage, this is THAT place. Â Bar fights and all. Â You're safe as an innocent bystander as the female bartender will whoop ass. Â I'm really not joking here. Â
This is definitely a fun place to go get smashed. Â You will leave that place with no less than 2 new lifelong friends and possibly a tattoo.
