It's close to home...though I do not quite see where it gets it's Dive Bar reputation.\n\nGranted, it's dark enough inside for my eyes to take 3 minutes to adjust after entering from the sun...and 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. \n\nThe food...it is adequate for bar food. This ain't the place to bring Mum for a special dinner...though 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 enough...I 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 beer-inspired battles that have taken place in or around the bar. \n\nThere are no major problems in the cleanliness of the bar or the restrooms...though 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 area...and Karaoke Saturday is on my list as a \"should attend\".\n\nMore as I visit again.
