It's a great bar to hang out, didn't have any food so I can't comment on that. The bartender was super nice and made the drinks

Tuesday pool, nice tables — bartender great. Unfortunately, my character & intelligence were challenged by a gentleman who appeared to be BOH staff (?). Guy was a jerk. Hope the owner(s) know they lost a patron on account.

Monarch is good! They get busy and service can be slow, but that's not anyone's fault. Friendly people and good beer. Love the atmosphere!

This is a solid as hell bar! Great dive, good snacks, open late, nice pool tables. And most of the staff, also solid. But that guy Josh really womps, always a jerk, a pain in the ass to get a drink from, and always seems to be inconvenienced by the simplest ask. He's the worst part about the joint. He might just have chosen the wrong line of work, who knows? -Hunter

Love this bar but stopped going because of Josh, one of the bartenders. Very unwelcoming, chooses to serve certain people over others, talks down on you, and just seems to cause issues out of nothing. Not sure why they keep this guy around, but I would come back if he ever stops working here..

This quirky spot is meant for the tasting and not for review. Check it out and you'll know real quick if you like it. Billiards, patio, booths, and lots of doors... drinks n stuff too ??

Very cool dive bar atmosphere, decent food, pool and darts. However, a very rude staff and super slow service.
Never in my life have I experienced such horrible service. Coming from the restaurant industry I was a little taken back that a bar staff would treat the guests the way they did. We all have bad days... but pro tip- don't take out your anger on your guests at the bar.

Good local watering hole. Check out Franks other spot "Rockys" on Ottawa Ave.

Great outdoor seating, but very understaffed. It took 20 minutes to get a drink on a Monday evening.

Smells like pee in there, should def. do some cleaning... Staff did not acknowledge us at all. Walked out.
