This is my Cheers, my neighborhood bar. Owned and operated by friends, this is my go to place when i want a bite and a few really good beers, and don't want to wander far from home. The ever changing craft beer menu is incredible and what caused places like Applebee's to vacate Chandler altogether. They just couldn't compete. The menu, in part originally created by my long time good friend and beer expert King James Swann, is a bit like my old hangout in Phoenix where he also worked, Hazelwoods 1st place. (They were known for their wings ;).
Upon permanently relocating to Chandler, the proximity to the Monk was actually part of my house buying decision. I have to have a good neighborhood bar close by. Its a must. I need wings! The owner Jim is a cool guy, the bartenders are all awesome and like friends. I love the regulars too. People often underestimate the importance of a good bartender/libation therapist. Plus theres like 57 TVs to watch sports on. Go Monk!
