I stopped in at Funky Monk for the second time last night. It's not my favorite bar on Mill, but it has a few fun gimmicks that set it apart. The layout of the bar is a little strange, but the colored lights, funky carousel horse, and stripper pole give the venue a lot of pzazz.
My friends and I love the Wheel, which you can spin twice for $5. Each spin lands you a drink (usually after you twerk or do some other classy task) so you end up with a pair of very cheap drinks in your hand! I have had a few drinks here I'm not a big fan of (a birthday secco and a slushie) but if you're sticking to standard fare they mix them just as good as anywhere.
I've had really good experiences with the staff as well, the bartenders are always really friendly and chatty! Come here to kick off your night, keep the fun going, or cap it off--either way Funky Monk should be part of your nightlife.
