“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!

“Came here for the first time and didn’t know what to expect. Walking in, there is bar seating to the right and dining tables on the left. The whole place has a dive bar vibe, but in an awesome way. My husband ordered the everything burger and I ordered the brisket cheese burger. we both absolutely loved our burgers as they were cooked to perfection. Also, the condiments were fresh and tasty. We also ordered a couple beers on tap. The marshmallow stout was delicious. I can’t wait to come back here again for more!! For people considering bringing in the whole family: I would say it is not a rowdy bar but it is more oriented towards adults.
Kid-friendliness: It depends how mature your kids are.“

“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!“

“Support local businesses who support independent + local musical artists like Pappy & Harriet’s. Got to see Tennis’ farewell tour. Elena n Pat have taught me tennis is #morethanasport . The Pappy baking crew threw down in the oven w/ their mac n cheese + The Harriet grilling squad were charring glizzys righteously. We got to watch our favorite band against a sunset of stars and a skyline of storied rocks. Stay updated on upcoming events and visit this spot from near or far 🙂↔️

“First, the owner should know that their partnership with Slice is costing them business as well as gaining. The app is incessant and annoying like the old school pizza flyers peppering hotel rooms and apartment hallways. Users are not able to opt out of advertisements, and so I have a negative association with your brand because of the Slice app.
When I did partake it was $19 for a 10” 2-topping pizza. Decent flavor, a lot of cheese, not too greasy, chewy/crispy crust. Not a bad option, just feels $5 overpriced.“

“Kid-friendliness: The staff was wonderful and the chef is incredibly gifted with his perfectly balanced dishes in flavor, size and pairing. I cannot wait to come back- I’ve already eaten here twice in a row with my boyfriend on our anniversary trip.
Amazing hard shell tacos reasonably priced at $2
Do not miss out on these or the Palomas;)“

“The ham egg and cheese breakfast burrito is literally the Mexican breakfast hot pocket you never knew you wanted 1000/10. The ham cube chunks are plentiful in the burrito. Construction worker approved, I can never finish it it's so big, definitely shareable ?“

“If you were looking for a dining opportunity in Morongo Valley with good food, give Dillon’s a try. This is a local’s favorite. It may not look like much from the outside, but you can count on getting exceptional ribs, and good Buffalo wings. It is also a bar so I can get noisy and sometimes rowdy. I have family and friends that make this a destination for ribs. The Coyote Cone ice cream shop is right next-door. It’s easy access from Highway 62. It’s better to drive down a block or two to find the light to get back on the highway going northbound. The service is fast and the chefs take pride and what they do.“
