| - GENERAL NOTES
Despite being overrun by loud, obnoxious and very young college students, this is one of my favourite bars in Oakville. Then again, there aren't many bars in Oakville. Monaghans stands out for it's very good (but basic) menu and good deals. Monday is 50cent wings, Tuesday is $1.70 jumbo ribs but the real standout is the wing/pitcher combo. Sometimes they have karaoke or a one man band. You'll want to avoid those nights.
MENU RECOMMENDATIONS
In terms of wings, I'd go for the Monaghans Own or Franks Baked wings. Both are baked wings (no sauce), the Franks Baked is basically Franks Hot Sauce and the Monaghans Own is Franks and lemon pepper. The ribs are very good, some of the biggest, meatiest ribs I've had.
SERVICE NOTES
Service can be a bit slow, as can the servers. Generally speaking, these aren't the most sharp girls, but many of them are physically blessed, which is kind of a sports bar prerequisite. One thing I do appreciate about the staff is that they'll actually save you wings or ribs if you call ahead (they definitely run out of ribs every Tuesday so you'll want to call ahead or arrive before 11 or so).
LOCATION NOTES
Huddled in a smallish plaza on Trafalgar across the street from Sheridan College.
HUMOUROUS STORY
I've been there to watch a very young, very out-of-tune guy try to woo a table of girls with a very brave performance of a Justin Timberlake song. Sometimes, bravery is a cock block.
