About The Funky Monkey

The Funky Monkey, located in Mount Dora, offers a variety of dishes and is a great spot for lunch or dinner. The restaurant has a welcoming vibe and is situated upstairs in a small shopping mall that used to be a hotel. Customers enjoy a range of options including Wagyu sliders, fries, dumplings, ginger soy sesame wings, and short rib ramen, which are all prepared well and praised for their quality. The happy hour menu features good deals on drinks like the house mule, with the bar providing friendly service. The Garlic Chimi Shrimp is highly recommended, with a flavorful sauce of garlic, chimichurri, and scallions that diners love to dip pita bread into. The Miso Glazed Eggplant offers a delicious balance of sweet and salty flavors. The atmosphere is lively with live music and a playlist that adds to the experience. Service is attentive, with servers making sure guests are well taken care of, and the drinks are consistently great.

Very slow service! Here 45 minutes and still do not have our food. Waitress is very non existent.

This is the worst bar in Mount Dora.

If you want to have a bad time. Go here.

We showed up to the bar at 10 pm on a Saturday and ordered one drink per person.

While my friends went to the bathroom, the bartender walked up to our table and took away our purchased drinks for no reason.

The "manager", Mark came up and told me that we weren't welcome anymore.

I asked why and he had no answer. I asked why again and he had no answer.

Then after...read full review

This place is THE BEST! Aubrey was my server and was over the top friendly. Very attentive as well as accommodating with drink refills and checking on my food order at the bar. The atmosphere upstairs at The Funky Monkey was very cozy yet modern. Upscale style bar view.
Diverse liquor selection.
Great food options.
Classy & welcoming.
I highly recommend the Chicken Bao Buns & Birria Ramen. I will definitely be coming back. Everyone should go check this place out....read full review
