This place supports pro wrestling and that is good enough for all of us to drink here. This place also serves beer, so real Americans will be happy. There is also a rumor that wearing pants is optional. I have not tried that option out yet because I am really fat and don’t want chicks laughing at me more then normal.

Don’t Deny Your Monkey! Years ago this would have been a five star review when they were located on 2nd street. The vibe really changed once they moved to 1st street. After not visiting for a few years they have tried to make the place more like the old venue. The crowd here is a very odd mix of people. The bartenders are friendly enough and will shake dice(so Milwaukee). They are in the process of building duckpin bowling alleys in the back area which will be so cool when they are finished. Back in the old location Monkey Bar was very edgy. Diane had a Summerfest shuttle that she shared with Bay View bars. The shuttle sold beer and had big couches on it. The icing on the cake were the televisions… however, they weren’t playing normal shows but instead porn. The shuttle was short-lived because somebody called it in and Diane faced thousands of dollars of fines. That was the kind of edgy thing that the 1st street location will never have… unfortunately. Seriously, don’t deny your monkey and stop in for a beer. Once the bowling is finished I think this will definitely be on the short list of cool venues.

Nice bar, friendly owner who stopped by to say hi and talk, enjoyable punk music playing. Unfortunately my Sat night included an extremely drunk and very confrontational bar patron who was a regular. Shame. Is that the usual? Skip it if you are new in the area. Go to club garibaldi… 10 times the size 10 times the crowd and everyone was respectful.

5 stars just for the fact that they opened up at 6am this morning as a place to watch the Team USA win over Russia. It’s amazing to be in a packed bar going nuts when USA is being USA. Diane was doing a great job at the bar, they even offered some free breakfast food for the crowd. Pretty damn awesome.

Weird venue for live music in the back. They did have Penthouse themed games on the touch screen which helped.

Talk about a very bland and average bar. This used to be the bar over on 2nd street and has since moved to this location. Talk about a bar with no character. How can you give a bar such a good name and give it so little personality. The walls are all painted institutional gray. The chairs and tables look like they were bought at any generic restaurant supply store. The music is contolled by one of those generic digital jukeboxes loaded with bad and uninspired music of new an old. The servers are too busy talking amongst themselves to notice the patrons need drinks. If you are looking for a good corner bar to hang out at this isn’t it. If you are lookiing for a cool bar to hang out at this isn’t t either. And no, they DON’T have Red Bull on tap. Red Bull doesn’t sell it’s product for the guns behind the bar. Real Red Bull is only sold it in cans.
