Monster B's Bar and Grille

Monster, what the heck happened to you. The soul and lifeblood of the place Gabe goes away and the place falls apart.

Half the taps are empty, what's left of the craft bottles are old and skunked.  

Seriously, what's with Natural Light on Tap? Natural Light consistently rated in the top 5 worst beers of all time. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ratebeer.com%2FRatings%2FTheWorstBeers.asp&s=855966299c2753f54a7a76930087f21dd579e0c20deffabe1290481e20a283b3" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.ratebeer.com/…</a>

Other taps could be great if the lines were cleaned better (Had a Widmer Columbia Common which is a Spring Seasonal normally an exceptional beer and it tasted wrong)

I really want to support my local Monster B's but you need to take steps to improve.  If you are going to only use a few of the beer lines make them solid by: cleaning the lines regularly, picking taps that make sense for the clientele (you started as a craft alternative with amazing wings and BBQ to the downtown bars, now you have become a bar with no focus and mediocre food),

I used to love this place and now only stop by to see the friendly bartender and grab a craft when I want to avoid the downtown scene.  I really want this place to succeed, they have a great outdoor deck which is unique for Stamford or Fairfield County for that matter.  But now, what a Monster....

Nice bar atmosphere and convenient location. Food you know is bar food but that's what peeps crave sometime. But if I order a ny strip steak for $22 please don't make me have to cut away 30% of fat and grizzle. If you r going to offer it at least get a decent cut of meat.  Did mention it when waitress asked "how was it" but didn't get a response so I don't think they really give a ?$it!!!!

True story:

I'm at Monster B's with two friends, I'll call them Reasonable Steve and Unreasonable Steve. Unreasonable Steve, as his name might imply, has had way too much to drink. So much so that his usually fun and amicable personality had turned to unnecessary rancor, specifically in the area of demanding another drink...

Unreasonable Steve: "*#&% YOU, I WANT ANOTHER BEER! MYAHHH!"

Reasonable Steve, doing his best to maintain the peace, gets the attention of the bartender, but motions her to the far end of the bar... A quick conversation ensues...

Reasonable Steve: "Hey, um, you got any non-alcoholic beer?"
Bartender: "Yeah, I got O'Doull's..."
Reasonable Steve: "Ok good, but I need a favor. Could you open it up down here and pour it into a pint glass?"
Bartender: "Yeah, no problem. I see what's going on..."

The "beer" is poured, eventually handed to Unreasonable Steve, and he's none the wiser. After the quick stumble home to their apartment, Reasonable Steve reveals his ploy...

Reasonable Steve: "You know that last beer you had was an O'Doull's, right?"
Unreasonable Steve: "Sigh... ya know... I was about to get mad at you, but... thanks buddy, you're a good pal."

Only at Monster B's.
