“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!

“I’ve been twice and both times were equally great! Food is really very good, granted it’s a small place so menus is limited of course but what does come has been amazingly good. The people are fun and decent people and waitresses have been amazing! Check the place out, it’s worth it!“

“The mole enchiladas were TO DIE FOR! I cook mole and this recipe has me stumped, the presentation is also 10/10 The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The chips and salsa were excellent as well and I had the Jamaica agua fresca and it’s was just sweet enough any sweeter or diluted would be too much!!! Definitely coming back!!!“

“Excellent food. Lamb was tasty but cooked well, spicy and flavorful. Chicken the same with mild and very savory sauce. Naan bread was crunchy but not dry and still able to scoop sauce. Loved it!“

“I interacted with a bartender, a hostess and a gentleman way out back that I believe was cooking on some type of grill or something outside. My food was ready very promptly and was cooked exactly as desired. I would absolutely give them a 10 out of 10 and go back again if ever in the area!! Unfortunately I didn't get to check out the nightlife!“

“It's my first time at this place. As i walked in, I was greeted by a friendly young lady. I told her it was my first time here. She was very polite, patient, and recommended several items. I was really hungry, so she put a rush on my order, which I appreciated. I loved the service, clean place, great food, great prices.“
