We didn’t eat anything here. I think they only had a few options. You also have to go to the bar for drinks. No one comes to your table. Not a fan of that. We more than likely won’t go back.

This is a great little spot, if you're a dog lover, the bar is actually named after the owners dog!!! The bar staff is great and very accommodating. Natasha goes above and beyond. Highly suggest for a local hang out spot!

We hosted a party here for our company, and the team was great to work with leading up to the event, and were great to work with during the event. The cost was reasonable and the service was above exceptional. We appreciate everything you all did to make our surprise party go smoothly!

Monkey’s is a true neighborhood bar, with an amazing cocktail program and snacks. They’ll also do fun pop up nights with pizza or other foods. Also, the owner and staff are some of the most genuine people who really love what they do. Can’t recommend it highly enough for happy hour, a night out, trivia, anything - it’ll be a great time.

The BEST bar in Knoxville! I love their rotating craft cocktail menus- always something fun and delicious to try! Naty is always a friendly face to see behind the bar, but all of their bartenders have the best service and make some delicious drinks ❤️

Love everyone at Monkeys! They have great drinks and everyone who works there is so nice. Also recommend them for private parties and events! Wonderful place and I wish I still lived close by to go more often. Photo of Monkey meeting the people for those who don’t know how the real owner of this house is.

Huge fan of Monkey, personally. Owner and staff are pretty cool, too. 🙃
Seriously though, best atmosphere and immaculate vibes- creating its own inclusive community in its very own little corner of the world- right in the middle of the melting pot that is downtown. 10/10 could not recommend more. 🏅

Absolute GEM in Knoxville! SO vibey on the inside and the only thing that could beat the quality of the rotating drink menu is the staff itself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Favorite bar in Knoxville. The vibe check checks and if you’re lucky enough to see Monkey while you’re there, you’re set. The bartenders are the absolute best in town, with plenty of N\\A options. Make conversation with the locals or grab a comfortable spot to read by yourself (or read in a group! They have book club!) - either way, it’s exactly what you’re looking for. They are always hosting a variety of events and genuinely care that you’re there to chill. Worth a stop in or becoming a regular.

I love love Monkey's! Natasha and Karlee are always so kind and have the perfect drink recommendations when you're not so sure what you want! It is always such a cool crowd and the vibes are immaculate! An absolute must when you're in the Old City area.

The vibes at this place are amazing! Feels like a neighborhood bar where everyone knows you even if you are a complete stranger! Also the mocktail options are just as top notch as the cocktails!

If you’re looking for a bar that feels like home—with or without your pup—this is the place. Not only is it dog-friendly but the bartenders are absolute legends. Friendly, fast, and they actually know their stuff when it comes to cocktails. Large mocktail menu that makes you feel like you’re not missing out on a cocktail. The vibe is laid-back, inclusive, welcoming, and just the right amount of lively. Whether you’re popping in for a quick drink or staying for the night, you’re in good hands here. Highly recommend! If you’re lucky you’ll meet Mr.Monkey himself but warning he will get you with the puppy dog eyes.

Neighborhood hangout. Scared to tell everyone how great it is in the event it becomes too popular--but the team deserves that! Stopped in one night while visiting town for a job interview, started talking to regulars, the staff--met the owner and was welcomed with conversation and friendship. Moved here a month later and the rest is history.
Grab a friend and head over to enjoy a relaxed space where conversation is plenty and the vibes are always supportive. If you're lucky, Monkey is there too!
