This place is really something special. The owners AND all the friendly people at the bar welcomed us when we came in! Just in Raleigh for business, looking to find a drink and had no idea that we were walking into one of the coolest bars for tons of great conversation. SO many thoughtfully sourced gifts to look out, I nearly spent my whole paycheck! Such welcoming vibes, full of beautiful art, great deals on beer and wine, and THE most genuinely nice group of people. A huge reason to come back to Raleigh!

We have been to this place twice now and, both times, felt very welcome. Great staff and neighborhood bar. Very eclectic crowd with a mix of all kinds of people so no one seems to feel out of place. They serve wine, craft beer, and snacks. They also have a small gift shop of different items. If you need a meal first, there are dinner options nearby. A great place to visit for good conversation and drinks with a great mix of people.

Where do I start….? Rusty and his partner are hilarious. Right amount of dirty comedy, fun BINGO, and great draft beers. If youre gay and think no other gays like beer - come here!!!

Review №28

Rusty (owner) is very friendly and helpful. He hand-picks everything in his store from local artists and sells them at fair prices. Alex is also really wonderful - theyre both really great to talk to. The Green Monkey is pet friendly and hosts many weekly events, including visiting bartender nights and doggy buffets. I will be returning!

I love this place! Great bar to grab a beer, buy some wine, or browse goods sold by local small business owners. I especially like the soaps, decor, and unique shirts.
