Park in the site garage, they’ll validate your ticket.Just order a pizza at the bar and take a seat anywhere in this comfy, spacious but cozy space. Service was amicable and thoughtful, and the funghi pie was delish.So-Cal chill vibes, lovely dinner, would go back.

Cody the bartender rocked my world with those drinks! Awesome bar knowledge, made my a wife a "dealer's choice" drink that was so good, I thought she'd leave me for him. Clean bathrooms, solid stalls.

Great little resort bar. Awesome HH (4-6pm sunday-thursday) drafts and wine are $7 and pizzas are $13 - wood fired and really tasty! Service is great. Fire pits and comfy seating. Usually have live music. Drinks are pricey when it’s not HH but hey, that’s San Diego for ya!

After an experience that left much to be desired at another on-property establishment, our dinner plans were saved by a firecracker of a bartender named Kelly H.The other restaurant basically cancelled our reservation without telling us, at 10PM on a Sunday.When we told Kelly, she apologized profusely and told us that she was going to go see what she could do with the (in the process of closing) bar kitchen,Superstar that she is, she came out 10 minutes later with a piping-hot pizza for my buddy and I to share. Kelly saved our evening and got us squared-away so we could get some sleep and have a great event the next day. It has been years since I visited Town and Country, and the place has grown tremendously. I'm looking forward to find an excuse to return for some of Kelly's amazing customer service at Monkey Bar.

Not a big yelper and first timehere , but came here on a friday night and big props to the bartender kelly, was extremely attentive to all customers and was offering to refill up my drinks before they got to empty which is very rare nowand days

RESORT BAR(3 stars)Monkey see... should Monkey do? - FOOD/DRINKS: ok- SERVICE: meh- PRICE: Resort prices- VIBES: people vacationing If you aren't staying in the area then expect to park in the parking garage and pay ~$5+ for ~1hr+. Open concept with live music, star gazing... and old drunk business men. Annoying old business men who are a bit off. This bar is tucked inside but outside of Town and Country Resort neighboring Arlo. Outdoor space was nice - first come first served, open seating for visitors. It's a bit loud with echoing conversation and music (I'd hate to live in the surrounding condos and apartments):: SERVICE ::You have to wave them down. They aren't good at tracking people and tables. Kind of weird, even on less busy days.:: SIPPIES & BITES ::DRUNKEN MONKEY ($18) - Kettle One Orange Vodka, Orange Liquor, Coconut Run, Grenadine, Pineapple Juice, Lemon Juice, Edible Flower. Drink was nice and tropical! I was hoping to see something with banana flavor on the menu (hence it is the Monkey Bar) but saw several drinks with orange liquor, orange bitters, and in general the word "orange" kept standing out. Went with this drink because it was safe and looked like their signatures/main drink from their short cocktail list. Due to the lack of service I started to get hungry and ate my pineapple garnish. RECOMMEND SIDE OF FRIES (~$6) - wasn't there to eat but needed something to munch on while drinking. I liked the fries! They were seasoned, crispy, and perfect for something light. RECOMMEND Probs won't be back. Rather go to the other two restaurants what share the same outdoor space if I want to enjoy this space again. Monkey see... Monkey don't!Until the next review...

Experienced Monkey Bar in early October a few times. My family and I came here for drinks, food, and some live music. We were visiting and staying as hotel guests here at the Town and Country Resort. Locals like this spot as well since it's secluded and chill vibes. We visited in the evenings. You can enjoy inside or outside which is well lit with nice patio seating and view of the courtyard and pool. Order:Cocktails: Drunken MonkeyPumpkin Spiced MuleShirley TemplesWood Fired Pizza: Margherita Kids Pizza: Pepperoni Pizza and Cheese PizzaExperience:Crowded most of the preferred seating was taken nightly but still some cool spots to sit at. Fire pits were always taken. The staff was super friendly. The server always checked in to see if we needed anything. The pizzas were scrumptious and flavorful. Not bad for the prices. The cocktails stole the show. Compliments to the bartender. Love the fact that they had festive seasonal flavors. Drinks were strong. Vacation flavors for sure. We enjoyed the local live musicians each night and DJ spinning some newer dance music. Recommendation:Go. The best part: its super casual here and service is quick. I suggest happy hour if you want the deals. Enjoy!

If I could give it a 10-star rating I would. I was here for a busy conference - there were massive numbers of people at this beautiful resort! And when you work in the service industry, that can pose many challenges... but I will say, with confidence, the customer service of the crew at The Monkey Bar was bar none exemplary and exceptional! We had such a blast! Cody and Mike handled the bar crowd & ALWAYS with beautiful smiles and happy greetings! Never saw them break a sweat, or even slow down. They have a wonderful atmosphere, fire tables, a fire place, and epic "lounging with friends" vibes. Ask Cody to make you a drink we concocted - it's called the "Wedding Reception" (Cody, it was Amaretto, Orgeat, pomegranate, lemon, and champs)!! So much fun !!Go stay at Town & Country Resort and say hi to the wonderful crew at Monkey Bar!! They work hard to make your vacation memorable Excellent work dudes.And Mark - the manager... thank you for the hospitality!! It was "hole-in-one"!!
