Monks is a popular neighborhood bar with a linear setup for the bar area with seating being a premium. Usually they have fresh and free popcorn available . Service has always been good with usually youngish bartenders that are friendly. Drink prices are the cheapest in town. On weekends will play music louder to create a fun atmosphereParking: Mt Adams is a challenge to find parking when visiting establishments. A parking garage does exist nearby for use.

Pretty Cool Place?

No frills dive that’s open all of the time. What more do you need to know? What more could you ask for?

What a little piece of the beach and in a city he said built on the river, then monks is for you. Fun staff, the owner is pretty awesome, and his dog is always around. That might be the cherry on top.

Solid dive bar

An open air relaxing oasis. Quick to be transformed into a wild set of experiences you won't soon forget. Games, music, and TVs to pass the time, until it's acceptable to imbibe jello syringes, an expansive set of party shots, cold craft and domestic beers in large quantities. The energetic staff agrees that time is "any", free of judgement. I met my wife here. May you find copious amounts of joy here too!

Solid dive bar. Spacing isn't ideal for a large group, but the prices were cheap, there was a pool table, and the bartenders were on top of their game. It isn't the best designed space but they've executed well on what they have.

Looking for a fun dive bar? This is the spot! Fun beach vibe and very reasonably priced drinks. They also have a bar dog that is worth the visit alone! I haven't had syringe jello shots in years so it was fun to relive my college years enjoying them. The staff was pretty nice, not super sociable, but they were pretty good about staying on top of getting us another drink.
Great service, chill atmosphere. Would be happy to go back.

Awesome Key West themed bar. We had a lot of fun with the shot wheel and jello shot prizes. Girl bartending was extremely nice and fun. Stop for a good time!

An awesome bar! Super friendly owners and staff! They let us hide from a downpour and their bartender was so friendly! We drank and played pool until the rain stopped!

I'm in between a 4 and a 5, this place is good and if a group of friends wanted to go back I would definitely go!! The bar itself is pretty cool, atmosphere is fun, and being able to get little funny goodies with the purchase of a Jell-O shot is a very fun idea! I just think there are a few things that could be fixed! There's free popcorn which is a GREAT touch, however it was sooo stale it tasted like it had been there for hours! Obviously though, it's free and I don't judge them too much on that. I went on a Saturday night and they weren't that busy, but they only had two bartenders so maybe they just never got around to it! Now to the bartenders. They weren't bad, but not that great. Didn't know how to make the mixed drinks, so had to take back the menu they'd just given us to relearn how to make it. Also, weren't aware of what beers they had on tap, and there were only like 4-5 beers. So when I asked for one of them, they were confused on what I was asking for and chalked it up to "haven't seen that one in a while" but my friend literally just ordered it moments before me from the other bartender. Lastly, they have a pool table and that cool ring game where there's a ring on a string and you try to hook it on to a hook on the wall! Both were super fun, however far too close! It seemed that the people playing each game kept getting in each other's way. However, it's a small bar, and they are obviously just trying to give customers as many options for fun as possible! If you're in Mt. Adams, check this place out! Better for smaller groups than larger groups though!
