Description:
I was taken to the Monkey Bar for happy hour with co-workers and had no idea what to expect. It didn't look like much from the outside. It's small with a pink neon light. If you're not looking for it you'll probably drive past it.

I was pleasantly surprised though. It has a great patio with comfy patio furniture, tropical plants, a large water fountain and a few tiki heads thrown about. Since it's Texas they didn't forget to put some fans outside which was great. And the patio is larger than the inside!

Didn't spend much time inside at all but I remember it being somewhat dimly lit and possibly a black velvet painting or two?

It was the most fun! They even have their own specialty drink called "The Slippery Monkey." I don't know what was in it but it was coconuty or pineappley...anyways it was good and had a cherry on top!

The bar is located down by Fair Park where they have the Cotton Bowl/State Fair.
