All residents of the Morongo Basin know that our home doesn't have much of a bar scene, which is fine for the granola munching rock climbers, ganja purists, and christian conservatives that prolly make up 90% of the population, but for those of us who love downing beer and belting along with the jukebox, making new best friends whose names you won't remember, or need a place to kill time before returning home up or down the hill, then the Monument Bar might be your home-away-from-groan! I'm always surprised that none of my acquaintances have heard of it, but then again, it IS the kind of place you'd miss even if you were looking for it. if you're headed there from Yucca, when you get to Cactus Mart, keep looking left and DON'T BLINK. When I lived in Morongo Valley I would try to go in at least once a week, because if I've learned one thing in 47 years of gypsy wandering it's that there's nothing like a good locals bar. It's a melting pot to be sure, the place could be full of scary bikers one day, and full of pronoun-defying LGBT's the next, but this, of course, is exactly what makes the place so great, and if you've been going there long enough, you can always take refuge with the regulars.

I could write the next Great American Novel describing the place if I hunch over my keyboard long enough, but I'll try to wrap this up with some "things done right" bullet points:
- daily drink specials
- taco Tuesday, and usually some kind of special on Hallmark Holidays
- outdoor patios (equipped w/ fire pit in the winter)
- a bewildering number of menu items for such a small place, if you're the indecisive type, just get the signature monument burger...and the food is also bewilderingly good for pub fare, and if judged in that context, bump my 3-star rating up to 4.5
- Chad is a great bartender. Treat him well, and he'll return the compliment.

That should do it. I should've made a review years ago, and a recent visit reminded me how remiss I've been, even under new ownership, it was exactly liked i'd hoped it would be...as if a month had gone by and not a year. I <3 this bar!

This bar is one of the worse bar to ever go to both of the owners rude and don’t know how to run a bar and there place has been broke into twice what does that tell you

Pizza was a bomb

Make the stop ....

Good food and friendly people. Pizza was tasty.

Stopped in with a group for dinner and was extremely disappointed with the food. Half of the menu was not available to order, and what was available was either inedible or completely flavorless and bland. It felt like the workers were annoyed that we were there ordering food and made the whole experience feel off-putting and uncomfortable. Fast food would be better than stopping here.

Came here after going to Joshua Tree for the day. A TERRIBLE stop. My group had four people in it, and they got three of our meals wrong. They put out sauces that had labels showing they were expired from last year. Burger didn’t have any seasoning on it. French fries and onion rings both seemed incredibly old. DO NOT go here for food. Was too scared to order a drink after I tasted the food.

Do not eat here! They got 3 out of our 4 orders wrong. The onion rings and French fries were inedible. There were flies everywhere too. I’ve never wanted to dine and dash but this place seriously made me consider it…

My favorite bar I have ever been to. Also doesn’t hurt that they have the *cheapest drink prices in the area*. This is a locals spot and a dive, with great people, great food, and great memories.
