11 Best Bar & Grill near Monroe

“I cannot speak to the food that they have there as I usually don’t get there until after the kitchen is closed. But the bands are usually very good on the weekends. The clientele has always been Friendly. They have three dart boards that are soft tip two of them that connect online that you can play against people anywhere in the country. And drink specials that typically go all night long. The bartenders are always very friendly, and have smiles on their faces.“

“We enjoyed it! The food was excellent, though not a huge selection. I would describe it as elevated bar food; highly elevated, plus there's Chicken and Waffles on offer! Is this available all day; are there different menus for dinner time? I do not know. Ours was a Sunday noon visit. Of course I went for the C&W. Our waitress, Danielle, asked if I wanted it tossed in the honey hot sauce. It was a very good question and I opted to take it on the side. Way more hot than honey, and I was glad to be able to drizzle and dip. The Waffles were excellent, crispy soft and just sweet enough. The syrup pour was generous. Chicken nice and tender. Phenomenal dish. Danielle, by the way, was one of the best waitresses we've experienced in recent memory. Shout out! My husband had the All American burger and loved it. The fries were special, lightly seasoned (didn't need salt) and pillowy soft inside. The half sour pickles were great! Lots of white tiles makes it very bright inside. Reclaimed wood and iron piping were included in the decor too. It seems kind of small, but when I back to visit the very clean and accessible ladies room, I noticed a much bigger second dining room with its own bar. It was not in operation at the time. I was unhappy that they only offered the extensive bourbon and drink list via a QR code. They should be proud enough of what's on offer to have quality printed lists. They didn't seem to have a problem with this in the past! I saw the photos on Yelp! They also try to steer you to use that for the food menu too but at least those are available in print (but missing a couple items, LOL). It didn't bother me because nothing would've been more appealing than the chicken and waffles. But, it might annoy you. Pro tip 1: the Fancy Sauce is perfect for dipping fries! Pro Tip 2: if you sit at one of the high tops by front window, your table will experience a tremor every time that front door slams closed. Keeping this one on the brunch list for sure.“

“My wife's company has held their holiday party here for 3 years. They never disappoint.Extremly friendly and knowledgeable service. Good selection of wines to both drink and purchase. They also can do mixed drinks and carry some local and mainstream beers for those who don't prefer wine. They have an added private room area that can be rented that allows for plenty of space for gatherings. Would recommend to stop by if your looking for a place to unwind or just a nice outing for dinks in the area.“

“Doesn't look like much as you walk past it in fact I didn't know what it was it's a very soft but up kept place food is great!!!! Out in a timely manner and perfect for taste buds very polite bartender beer was on point and kept my soda filled! Price is fair for what you receive plenty of drinks to choose from definitely my new bar“

“I passed by the Gano Tavern multiple times on my way to work. It is in a very odd location, but probably helpful for the surrounding businesses. I found it had: Great service. Nice patio. Live music. Fair price for beer. Decent wings. Overall a good experience, but one my visit the menu was limited to just pizza and wings. Watch out if that is not what you are looking for.“

“We loved the place, it's family friendly, the sand playground next to the volleyball courts worked out perfect for us! We could watch the kids while playing volleyball.. We shared appetizers, so we tried lots of food, and it was all so good! We were a big table of 12 adults and 6 kids.. Separate checks with no issues, which I understand can be confusing for a server, with people moving around, and walking in and out to play.. We had a blast and left so pleased with the service, ambiance, food! Thank you!! Can't wait to come back!“

“This place is such a great place!!! Like I’m not much of a drinker of alcohol or spirits but this place has given me hope! I know it may sound crazy but the employees here n management/owner is phenomenal!!! Really great ppl an has played a major role in helping me change my life. I really love working there n never thought I’d ever have a job I would actually like but by me having this job has given me so much hope, strength an encouragement in my life. I’m learning to not only cook, but to put my heart into my work and to be able to fulfill my purpose in my community of being of service as well.“

“Went here with another couple and we enjoyed it for the most part. My husband and another both had the steak hoagie. He had the mushroom sauce on his and LOVED it and Sharon had the marinara sauce on hers and she said it was okay. They both had the onion straws and said there were excellent with the sauce that came with. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and it was spicy, which I really like. Hubs said my nose was sweating quite a bit. Bob had the Philly Cheese steak and fries and really liked them as well. The waitress mentioned they had recently changed to home made fries. Both Bob and I said they needed to be more crispy but otherwise tasted good. The business is big square footage wise but there wasn't a lot of people in here at the six o'clock hour. But the food is good and the service people were nice and didn't hound us. It was a good meal and would come back again sometime.“

“The drinks were vast and outstanding!! The location is gorgeous, right on the river!!! People were so inviting & friendly. Live music some nights. I highly recommend stopping here and finding a perfect drink or cocktail that isn't offered anywhere else.“

“The waitress was wonderful! She answered all of our questions about the food choices and was quick to bring us more drinks and extra napkins . Stopped in for lunch/dinner while in town. The restaurant was clean and the booths comfortable. (They have tables and chairs if you prefer)The food was hot, fresh and delicious ?We ordered the chicken chunks and Chicken Alfredo. Both dishes were excellent!The Chicken Alfredo had a generous amount of thick grilled white chicken strips on top of the Alfredo and noodles. It was perfect!The chunks were perfect too. They were cooked just right and juicy on the inside with just enough sauce.. I ordered mild and they were not hot at all, which is what I wanted.I ordered blue cheese for the chicken and it was the best I’ve ever eaten.I bought some to take home.All of the dressings are homemade.Bringing the family next time.Highly recommend this restaurant! ?My new favorite.“

“This is my favorite bar in the area...amazing bartenders such as Kat, Connor, Kaela, Justin, Taylor, and Erin are the best! I've been working as a bar operator for the last 20 years and this is the best clientele and bartenders in the city!!!“
