Flying Monkey Pub

Fun Casual Bar! Stopped in for the first time and loved it! Might be because of the college feel it gave but overall enjoyed the experience. Very simple old bar feel with good loud music and a large drink selection. I can be picky when it comes to drinks but they have a large beer selection (most importantly good ciders) and a large flavored liquor selection. Prices were average but noticed different specials for each night of the week! If your looking for a casual place to grab a drink in Tremont Flying Monkey Pub is the spot!

Love this little Tremont gem. Great patio area for the sunny days in Cleveland and very dog friendly too. The owners here are so welcoming and friendly as is the staff! Although they don’t serve food they do offer menus for the other local joints in case you want to order in. Thursday nights they have a magician and shot specials. And if you aren’t do anything on Sunday’s you HAVE to come up they have all day happy hour and karaōke, best in Cleveland. So if you are in the neighborhood and want a cheap drink from a fun loving staff stop in to the monkey.

Bar was «ok»… Drink selection was average — staff were horrendous! Completely rude and had the attitude that it was a privilege for you to come into their domain and order drinks.
The one bartender put someone else’s drinks on a friends tab and demanded that he pay it anyways instead of fixing the problem… Even stole his phone until he paid! Unbelievable — the bartender should be arrested for theft — to put a final touch on the night the bartender came from around the bar and actually tried to trip the patron on the way out!
Never going back to this place and I suggest everyone should stay clear… Plenty of other options in Tremont then this dump

Had a great time here. Energy was great, atmosphere airy and casual, and the patio is pretty too.
Eileen is one if the best bartenders I’ve ever met. Took the time to chat and introduce herself and was friendly and fun.
Great place to come for a drink after a happy hour at anyone of Treamonts lovely restaurants and is in walking distance from most.

Okay, maybe I just went on a bad night. And for that, I’ll allow two stars.
Went out on a Thursday– the bar was busy, but not crowded. There were two girls working the bar. They didn’t seem to have any idea what was going on, and were slower than molasses. Took thirty minutes of sitting at the bar, frequently attempting to get their attention, before I got my first drink. Which was sloppily slammed on the bar thus spilling the drink. Fine, I get it. You’re «busy.» Finished the drink a short time later then proceeded to wait an hour AN HOUR (still sitting in a seat at the bar, still trying to flag these broads down) to get me a drink. (Normally I would have left 15 min before the first drink, but I was with friends, and blah blah blah.) So I finally get my second drink– fed up and irritated that I’m sober after an hour and a half of drinking. Paid my tab sans tip for probably the worst service I have ever received in my life. The bartender – after miraculously quickly learning she did not receive a tip – chased me out of the bar (the quickest I had seen her move all night) and began yelling condescendingly, «Was there something wrong with your service tonight?» Explained to her the service I had received was far from deserving of any sort of compensation, and told her how I had to wait over an hour and a half. Then she replied (and this is verbatim), «yeah, and you’ll wait next time too, bitch!»
Here’s the thing– coming from someone who is a generous tipper (even for mediocre service) – I think the bartenders here need to realize that tips are for good service, and they are by no means required. If a tip was required, it would be included in the price. A tip is a thank you for your prompt, polite service – not lack thereof. Needless to say, I will never step foot in this place again. Management obviously needs to remind these ladies what customer service is about.

A no-​frills neighborhood hangout in Tremont — it’s a great place for a beer, any time of day, any day of the week. Good mix of craft beer and cheap domestics ($ 3 PBR pounders, dude), and the bartenders can make some solid cocktails.
Wednesday is Trivia Night, which is a great time to go and get a feel for the place. Gets a bit crowded on the weekends, but it’s still in line with the relaxed Tremont vibe.
No food, which is a minor inconvenience. But, if you can’t find food in the area immediately surrounding the bar, there’s no hope for you in this world. Seriously.
Also, its dog friendly. So, if your pup is good in crowds and you don’t want to leave it home alone — no worries! There’s usually a few making the rounds.

Flying monkey is our favorite neighborhood bar! They have a great relaxed atmosphere and we always have a blast! They do not have food so they welcome you to bring in food from restaurants near by such as Edisons pizza.

Favorite bar in Cleveland. The bartenders are amazing! Wonderful selection of drinks, awesome patio, and just an all around great hangout. No food, but can order locally and bring in! Just a quality place all around and a must do if in the area and in need of some liquid love.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place… It is my GO TO SPOT in Tremont… I love to walk in and have so many know my name and usually greet me with a smile as well as a HUGE HUG… :-) Service as well as the owners are TOP NOTCH… I love the mixture of the crowd as it provides so many opportunities to meet and conversate with so many different individuals from all over the map… Sunday’s karaōke night is legendary and ALWAYS lives up to the hype… A Tremont staple that is a must if you have never been here! If you have been… GET BACK FOR SOME MORE MONKEY BUSINESS!!!

Great locale for karaōke on Sunday nights, centrally located, search no longer! The beer selection was decent, and I was surprised how lively it got on a Sunday night. Almost packed, at least in the front room where the karaōke was. That did lead to a long time to wait your turn, but better than singing to an empty room.
There was a questionable character hounding people as they sang which was weird, and one girl sang a 8 minute song, which should be banned, but other than that it was solid. Gotta go back for the bloody Mary’s

This is a great place where you can let loose and have some fun. Karaōke on Sunday is sooooo much fun! Come here!

Owner = asshole. Staff = monkeys see, monkeys do. Clientele follows. Asshole quotient pegs the second you set foot in the place. You’ll feel more welcome at an Al Qaeda bar mitzvah. And WTF is that smell? Even the Polish halls in Tremont smell better, and you can smoke in those.

This place is kind of weird and your experience will vary a lot based on when you visit. I have been here on a Thursday night when there were just a few people in the bar and it was nice and quiet. Then I went in on a Sunday night and it was pretty much packed wall to wall with karaōke-​ers. Surprisingly, most of them were good, and there are breaks in the karaōke for a «dance-​off» which was awesome. Couldn’t stay long enough to make it to the top of the list to sing, but I will surely come back for Karaōke. Seems like a good crowd.

Cheap. Drinks after kickball. When rolling into the bar all sweaty and sore we tend to head to the patio. After wiping off in the bathroom, drinks get ordered and camaraderie is had.
To say that I know what type of audience this bar caters to or what it is trying to accomplish I cannot. It seems to me that ‘The Monkey’ (as its fondly called) is the neighborhood bar for the neighbors to come get sufficiently buzzed during the work week. I haven’t been there on weekends … but can probably say I wouldn’t want to.
We will continue to stop in after weekly sports activities in Tremont.

Suprisingly a fun place to watch Sunday Browns games! Dont go much other times. Lame clientele. Its a very cliquey bar. if ya dont know the bartenders it takes forever to get booze… and make sure they only charge ya for what you actually drank!

I’m a big fan of Flying Monkey. The bar is beautiful. Kinda has a turn of the century look to it inside, which fits the Tremont aesthetic to a T. they also have a beautiful, large patio area so we can enjoy the summer months outdoors instead of being packed inside.
The bartenders are friendly and attentive and the owners go out of their way to make sure the customers are happy. Many bars in Cleveland I couldn’t even tell you who the owners are. Amy and Mike make a point to be the familiar faces you see working every time you’re there.
They have a ton of top-​notch beers on tap and in bottles/​cans, as well as many of the standards, like PBR. I can’t say enough good things about Flying Monkey. Higly recommended!

:sing songy: «Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they’re always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.»
Thanks Fred for playing that one last night. It made me really appreciate karaōke at the Flying Monkey. Why? Because it’s totally true. As soon as I walk in, Fred gives me a hello. Mike buys me a drink. Rich knows I drink PBR. Sonny tries to dance with me. Someone offers me birthday cake for Chris’s birthday. Maybe this is just because I go there every Sunday and sing my little heart out, but it’s nice to be recognized in a strip of Tremont bars where, let’s face it… sometimes its easy to be just another brunette wearing boots and a pea-​coat.
Flying Monkey has Karaōke every Sunday. Fred deals with us on bad nights (after Browns games) and good nights (any night other than after Browns games) plus throws in his own rendition of a Darius Rucker tune here and there.
We just ask that you keep the doors closed for the neighbors sake. Oh, and lay off the Piano Man. Overdone.

As an avid fan of the cocktail we all know as the Bloody Mary, I thoroughly enjoy a Saturday afternoon liquid brunch at Flying Monkey.
Umm, hello you sweet, beautiful, build-​your-​own bloody mary bar. Can we be friends? Set me out on their glorious patio on a summer afternoon with one of those bad-​boys and I’ll be a happy little blonde.
Unfortunately, I don’t like the path that this bar takes on weekend nights. I just can’t get down and funky with such a densely populated hipster crowd. I don’t discriminate, but I feel most comfortable with a blend of all peeps, not just one type. Especially not one that is usually starting me down, probably thinking my taste of music sucks just because I dress differently.
What really surprised me in a good way? Grand Marnier in a chilled dispenser. Brilliant. What really surprised me in a bad way? Eww, Ed Hardy wine. Seriously?
Head over to this neighborhood bar on a weekend night and you’ll find a pretty chill, relaxed vibe with cool folks. Weekend brunches are even better. It’s just not my scene on the weekend nights.

The drink of the month: Ed Hardy Sangria. Seriously. There seemed to be no sense of irony there either, except coming from me when I proudly posed for pics while consuming. They used the bar limes, lemons, and maraschino cherries.
When I was there last summer, I couldn’t stand the bar because the back patio was smoking like a chimney with all the American Apparel hipsters crowding the joint. I am not sure what happened in the last 9 months, but it is a completely different place. I don’t mind because I didn’t like the old place too much, but the Ed Hardy wine? Gross.
