The Monkey

Description:

• The Scene
  Within 30 feet of both Pete's Pizza and Dante's, Monkey Pub can't claim to offer the neighborhood's best food or fun. After all, tasty calzones are Pete's department and tons of video and bar games are Dante's. Monkey's attitude: Who cares? For one thing, if you want to hang out, have a beer and shoot pool in a nearly frat-free atmosphere in the U-District, Monkey Pub can't be beat. For those sick of the same old bar music (didn't the petition banning Steve Miller's Greatest Hits get signed into law?), the alt/indie jukebox is also a welcome change of pace.
  
  The Draw
  Even though food isn't the focus, the pub does have a small menu with a surprise special or two. As for libations, there are several beers on tap--ranging from PBR to Fat Tire--and a full bar.
