This place is by far the most ambitious bar idea I have seen in... well, forever. Somehow they can pull it off! I first went to the location out in the west valley and I was blown away. Then when I moved to Gilbert, I was saddened because I couldn't see myself driving all the way to Glendale to frequent my favorite hangout!
But then (dramatic sounds)... I was invited to play volleyball at the Monastery (YES! they have an east valley location!)
Anyway, enough of the over dramatics. This place is cool. Mostly outdoors with firepits, grills, pool, sand volleyball courts, ping pong tables, and horseshoe pits. Would I lie? Check it out! There is NOTHING like grilling burgers on a humongous community grill when you are two sheets. Everyone is joking and hurling the garlic powder across the fire at each other while listening to a pretty decent cover band.
I honestly can't tell you how good the prices were on beer, but the food isn't bad. I think it was like $8.00 for a slab of hamburger meat. Good Freakin' Times!
