text: It is close to homethough I do not quite see where it gets it is Dive Bar reputationnnGranted it is dark enough inside for my eyes to take minutes to adjust after entering from the sunand while the ambience is clean enough the place seems a bit sleepy From my experiences I have been there when the place was nearly empty as well as when it has been pretty busy nnThe foodit is adequate for bar food This are not the place to bring Mum for a special dinnerthough if she enjoys burgers wings fish and chips or a Reuben along with a beer or other beverage she will probably have a decent time Maybe I have not patronized Monkey Pants enoughI have yet to see a bar fight or anyone ejected for playing the fool One of the regulars has regaled me with tales on two visits though of some serious beerinspired battles that have taken place in or around the bar nnThere are no major problems in the cleanliness of the bar or the restroomsthough I am sure when the place gets busy the clean factor probably takes a hit The prices are on par with most other offerings around the areaand Karaoke Saturday is on my list as a should attendnnMore as I visit again
