The beer is very good. We enjoy the food trucks and partnerships they have with local restaurants for dinner options. Great service from nice people. Live music on most weekends from talented local musicians. read more

Fantastic little brewery! Sampled 4 of their beers and all of them were fantastic! Also had a great guitarist for live music! Service from the two ladies behind the bar was friendly and fast! This place has the occasional food truck or pop-up, but doesn't offer its own food though you are allowed to bring food in! I would suggest to the owner that a small investment in a kitchen to offer bar fare would probably be a great idea! read more

I was very impressed with #1 the beer and #2 the hospitality! It's a cool place with a great vibe and even better patio! If I could give it seven stars, I would have. read more

They always have a flavor I enjoy. Their cookie dough really does taste like that. The peanut butter porter was my favorite. read more

Nice place with good vibes. We were very impressed that while we were there, it got twice as crowded with no interruption in service. We had the lager and chocolate milk stout. Both were really flavorful and enjoyable. The crowd was also really amenable, diverse, and cool. We just had a really fun time. Recommend. read more

I had my baby shower here and I cannot express how fantastic it went! Diane is so great to work with, she is so helpful, laid back, reliable and kind! I highly recommend hosting any event here as it was a huge hit! read more

What can be said about our Monkey Crew! This one is the hardest to have to say, "It's not goodbye, it's just see you later." This crew has stood strong through opening two weeks before lock downs to celebrating their first "official" birthday this year. The math maths guys, they opened on Leap Day 2020! Here's the type of people the Monkey Crew is. I had to travel for work at the end of 2023. It was probably a solid 3 months that my wife and I hadn't been able to stop in. Our first time back, Jen and Diane were so excited, they about to threw a party from seeing us again! Some people may think that's just good service. My wife and I believe that is a sign of a local, family place, that cares about their customers. It's Cheers, but in North Royalton, and better. Ryan and Rick have one heck of a spot. They'll be the first to tell you that while they shake your hand and thank you for coming in. It would be lip service if they were wrong. WHEN we comeback to town there will be one non-negotiable place my wife and I will stop at. it's the Monk if you couldn't have guessed by now. read more

Blue Monkey opened in 2019 and is tucked in next to the Drug Mart at Wallings and State roads. There's a very small patio out front by the entrance - maybe 5 tables or so. Inside has some booths and maybe 15 seats at the bar. There are rotating taps (check their website for the latest) and they also have wine from Michael Angelos winery. There's no food, but you can order your own, and tonight there was a food truck. I tried the salted caramel blond stout which was okay - it didn't really taste like salted caramel to me. My husband had the American Lager which he said was just okay. There's plenty of parking and free wifi. The bartenders were friendly. read more

One of our favorite breweries. Good beer and exceptionally friendly staff. Plus the convenience of being pretty close to where we live. Locally owned and family run business. They run a lot of events from sip and paint, to live music, to music trivia, to the cigar and bourbon night. They recently added charcuterie boards, but regularly have food trucks. Beerwise I've never had a bad beer from here. They've got a pretty frequently changing tap list. Their real specialty is their white stouts which are all exceptional. This will continue to be one of our top places to visit. Good beer and exceptional service, from a local family. Glad to be part of the Monkey Mafia. read more

Awesome awesome awesome!! We went for a soft open and couldn't have been happier! The brewer and the owners were there, everyone was very talkative and passionate about what they were doing! They only had 4 beers on tap but will 3 additional beers for the grand opening in a couple of weeks! We will definitely be back as this is close to our home. They don't have food but will be having food trucks in the summer months. Super excited about this place opening up near us! read more

I am so excited for this place to fully open soon! They are a rare suburban brewery next to Drug Mart in North Royalton. Major thanks to branching to the suburbs where new breweries are actually needed! We will be regulars here - we live nearby! We sampled all of their beers and they are SO great. This is sometimes tough for new breweries to knock their beers out of the park right away but they have 100% accomplished extra flavorful beers. You definitely should get a flight to taste all that Blue Monkey has to offer! They don't offer food in house but you can use a meal delivery service to bring food here instead! Do yourself a favor and stop here at least once to give this amazing place a try! read more

Truly surprising quality of beer & warm inviting atmosphere. The owners/bartenders are incredibly friendly and always make sure you get exactly what you want, giving samples, letting you try some beers that are coming soon, and just spending time talking to you. I've been all over the country to some of the best breweries in Denver, Seattle, and California, and Blue Monkey Brewing is one my local favorites when I'm back home in Ohio visiting. & they are dog friendly! read more

If it weren't for following some of my friends to this brewery, I would have had a hard time finding it. This brewery is tucked back in on the side of a drug mart. The brewery has a decent size list of beers and seasonal beers to choose from. I ordered a flight so I was able to try a few different beers. During my visit, there was a browns game on and the brewery definitely had a sports bar feel to it. It was buzzing with people and I found the atmosphere very enjoyable. read more

Gather around Yelpers, this is a review of beer and boys, who will be the winner? Get to reading to find out! (Pretend like you don't know the answer already.) I heard about Blue Monkey Brewing Company from this tall ginger I met on Tinder. I really enjoy learning about new local breweries and sampling their goods so I was definitely down to make the trip and drink up. My interest was the same for The Boy, and he laid it on thick with his compliments, desire to help me with everything, and laughing at all of my hilarious banter (that's right, I said hilarious!), but I soon discovered the rumors about gingers are true, that soulless boy threw me a cold 180 and disappeared. You know what won't be disingenuous and lead you on and has better communication skills? The family owned BMBC. Everyone there is patient and friendly, they'll let you try some of their eight beer offerings before you buy and they even offer up some wine from Michael Angelo's Winery because unlike ignorant youth pursuing perfect clone partners, BMBC knows that variety is the spice of life and they are cool with you warming up to them if need be. They don't want to be just like everyone else. They want to put their own twist on craft beer for the world to delight in. They also want everyone who comes there to have a good time even if it's not with one of their beers. They have no problem supporting fellow local businesses. Speaking of this, while they don't offer food they do provide a couple of menus from places that will deliver grub to you while you partake in alcoholic beverages. Or you can bring in your own savory options (a cheese and meat board if you're feeling fancy or some Asian take-out would pair nicely.) BMBC is never going to say you're too ambitious for them because hello, they just made their dreams come true to open up a brewery in February! How can you not appreciate and enjoy seeing passion and drive become successful? I spoke with one of the owners and she said her nine year old son came up with the logo, how awesome is that?! Love the support and encouragement within the family. Not like The Boy who freaks when you tease him about going to a tea party. Smh. While BMBC does not look like a long haired Shaun White, they do have very appealing beers that will catch your fancy. I always find it best to go with a flight of different styles that way you can really get a feel for the brewery's offerings. Here a flight of four will cost you about $12. I sampled Salted Caramel, Chief Brewhoo, Vine Swinger, and Granola Oatmeal. All of them were tasty with no overwhelming or bitter flavor. I heard they have a Cookie Dough brew too, it just wasn't available when I was there so I'll have to stop back! (Take note that BMBC is connected to the left side of Drug Mart. The City won't let them put up a street sign so it's hard to find them. Also they are currently only open Fridays and Saturdays but will be adding Thursdays.) I highly recommend going for a hike at Mill Stream Run Reservation (about 12 minutes away) then gathering with some friends on the patio at BMBC and relaxing with a couple brews. Maybe even get a pizza delivered from Rosa's, their guy Pat happened to be at the brewery and we had a nice chat about scratch made sauces and Italian backgrounds. Or when you're done at BMBC you could hop on over to Kavana to share some plates - I got this recommendation from a group of friendly patrons and their dog Zeke. So in the end, don't bother dating anymore especially fickle boys younger than your badass self. Stay genuine. Skip the pretending and confusion boys give out and just enjoy a beer with friends. I hope BMBC joins the Cleveland Brewery Passport in the future and even if not, they are worth the drive out to suburban North Royalton! Life is so much better with a tasty refreshing drink in your hand than a lame boy by your side (or girl, whatever your preference!). Cheers! read more

We finally made it into Blue Monkey! It's a little tiny microbrewery hidden on the side of the Drug Mart. It's easy to miss from the road, but you really don't want to pass this place up! The inside is really no frills, a small bar and some tables, but they make use of the space well. The blue backlighting behind the bar adds a nice touch and stays consistent with theme and logo very well. The staff is very friendly and made good suggestions to us for our flight. The restrooms are clean and they were constantly cleaning tables while we were there so I felt very safe and comfortable patronizing this place. They also have a patio with a good amount of tables, so plenty of options for seating. To start off, we got a beer flight to sample a selection of beers since this place is all new to us. They come in this really cool blue holder with the logo and nice little glasses. We tried two IPAs, a wheat ale, and a peanut butter porter. We're typically not dark beer people so the PB was a risk for us, but it was surprisingly very tasty and not too heavy. Both IPAs went down a lot smoother than most I've had, but they have that signature bite at the end. Finally, the wheat was my favorite and what I ended up getting another pint of. It's the perfect light-bodied summer beer with a yummy aroma and even better taste. Overall, I recommend you come in and check it out. They have a nice selection of beers for it being so small and it's a neat little local place. They don't serve food but you are welcome to bring your own and I know they sometimes have food trucks in the parking lot on the weekend! They just opened this year so they're just starting up. I would love to come back and support these guys! I love small businesses like this. read more

$7 for 12 oz. of crappy beer? Really? Won't be going back, for sure. Rather have a Bud Light (ugg!)!

I've been meaning to stop for months. Made it today. I'm so glad I did. My wife and I had a couple of flights followed up with a couple of the beers we liked the best. They were all good. Had a couple of sandwiches from the food truck there. Had fun playing "Name That Tune" with a few friends that we ran into there. We'll definitely add it to our regular rotation. The only thing better than the beer was the people that work there. Stop in. You won't be disappointed. read more

I went today to get a growler of jungle juice. I've never been there before looks very nice inside smells new. But I won't be back. They said they we're low on jungle juice and could not fill the growler I had to choose between two other kinds that I did not want. I find it hard to believe that they were that low that they couldn't fill a growler. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. read more

This place is amazing! Family run and so friendly! The lot are more than willing to accommodate as much as they can. The atmosphere is great but most importantly the beer is the best! If they HAPPEN to run out of something they are more than willing to suggest another to try. My family and I will keep going back as this is our new "go to" spot! read more
