Editorial Review for Chuggin' Monkey – by Tara Fatemi
In Short
The laid-back atmosphere offers two levels, a pool and an outdoor patio. Many customers are in their 20s and 30s. College and pro football are shown on the more than 15 TVs placed unobtrusively throughout the bar on Monday nights and every weekend. There's also live music Monday through Thursday nights. Besides draft and bottled beer, the full bar boasts kamikaze specials and flavored margaritas from apple to watermelon. The signature Chango Borracho (Drunken Monkey) potently mixes peach schnapps, coconut rum, banana liqueur and juice.

I had such a wonderful time at the Chuggin' Monkey! There were 3 hot girl bartenders who were so cool to me. As a woman, other ladies aren't always nice, but they showed me a great time! The live band was awesome and afterwards the music was great. They play a variety of music from micheal jackson to new hip hop and rock n roll. Not to mention, the jager bombs are the best on the street! Overall: great staff, great service, great music!
Pros: great staff, music, atmosphere, good specials
Cons: it closes at 2am!

To be fair, the first Saturday of '08 was the first time I've been in a bar of any kind for many many years. As I've gotten older, I feel less need to go out, and virtually no need to drink. But on the prompting of a friend I had not seen for many years, I decided to join her and some friends for a night out here. The bar is very clean, and waitservice was prompt. The atmosphere was not to my taste in general, as the music mix was uneven, it didn't make me want to keep dancing, and the DJ was not much of a mixer (beat changes, gaps between songs, etc.). Plus, they had this really irritating habit of substituting words in the songs lyrics by killing the music and saying "jagerbombs". After a few dozen times, it got really irritating. If there is a beer special, I guess it's probably not a bad place to go.
