Monopole is a place you come for drinks and wings. In fact, it's a place that is cherished by both college age students to adults who've been coming here for decades, and people from all different backgrounds are welcomed here. As a historic bar, its atmosphere may seem divey but its great service and delicious wings have stood the test of time. During my recent visit not much has changed since I've last been in town 13 years ago. Though when I was in college, I was a regular here. Downstairs still has a men's bathroom, pool table, foolsball table, darts, TVs, some tables for dining, a bar and a back bar that serves excellent wings, specifically the stoner wings which are my absolute favorite. Upstairs still has a women's bathroom, another bar, and place for the bands to play. However it was hosting a private event during my most recent visit. Overall, come here for the experience, drinks and wings! read more

Old school vintage bar with delicious wings. I believe the location is 100+ years old and it does feel like it lol. Can become pretty crowded later in the evening/ weekends but me and a group went a little earlier for some food. read more

The Monopole I know it. It is cooler than you are and I love it. Wings best on the planet. Order extra crispy. Buy a carbomb. read more

Plattsburgh....wings, beer, and a pool table. Great combination. Come and enjoy the great play list by the bartenders. Cool as F! The wings are the best in Plattsburgh. Prove me wrong! Pizza is also very large so don't be afraid of a late night eats and drinks!! read more

Cool bar downtown. Little racist and xenophobic crowd not too great for out of towners- I'm not white and it felt a little unwelcoming, but the locals tend to keep to themselves. I just moved here and have had more positive experiences at the other local spots. However, the bartender and cashier were super nice. The Sicilian pizza is all bread if you consider that pizza? All in all, the actual place is pretty cool, historic and haunted. Food is fine, you can play billiards while you wait and the cocktails are good! read more

Staff are rude as fuck, food is mediocre at best and it smells of shit in the bar. 0/0 stars. One of the bouncers loves the N word and another wants to fight people much bigger than he is. If you want to get in a fist fight this is your perfect bar. read more

We were travelling back to the USA from Montreal and wanted to grab dinner. After searching we decided on Monopole as it had a historic feel and was easy to access. It's more like a local tavern as there is a bar on one side and a sit down area with a games/TV's on the other side. The food was disappointing or should I say lacking. Everything needed to be baked in the pizza over or fried. We asked for salad but they do not serve. We opted for the pizza and chicken tenders. The pizza is square and while tasty there simply wasn't anything impressive about it. The dough was very thick. Anyway, it appears lots of locals support this place but if we are ever in the area again, we will opt for another establishment. read more

This bar might by great for locals, but not if you're visiting from elsewhere. Very hostile blue collar regulars at the bar who the bartender let's play their own obnoxious music. Bar is okay otherwise. Cash only. read more

Lovely service. Family atmosphere and the hospitality was amazing. The local families were having a blast with the live music. It was lovely to see. read more

Very unique bar - one of the oldest in the town, as I've learned! Peculiar people watching, the bartender was incredibly attentive and the food was delicious. Bar is cash only (atm in the back), but the kitchen in the back takes card. read more

Heard his place was cool to check out. So I did just that. Then I left. Took a while to find it since the entrance is in an alley. I did loved the old school dive bar feel but the service was trash. Didn't even bother to eat or have a drink. Seems like the service was directed at their regulars that sat at the bar. Cute place but thats simply it. read more

Terrible place to go. Bartender Kayla was rude, inattentive, and spent the entire night yelling at patrons. kitchen staff was slow, took forever to get my food. regulars are great, but I could never go back there. if you get a chance go somewhere else. not worth your money. read more

The spot itself is really cool due to its age, but the pizza is very doughy. Nice people and good drink specials..

best wings in town, and definitely the most interesting scene. if you're trying to have a night for the books, monopole is the place to be. i don't think there's ever a dull moment there. always somebody interesting to talk to, and there's plenty of booze! now i'm craving their wings... if you're racist or homophobic, don't ruin it for the rest of us. go to bobby's lounge if you're a cop. if you're not afraid of living, monopole is the spot! also, if you're asthmatic, you might want to use caution in monopole alley read more

Fun local bar. We were recommended this bar from our family here in plattsburg. My husband and I are visiting from Washington DC. We were very happy with the $3.75 pitchers, huge wings, and delicious pizza. read more

a terrible business run by terrible people. nobody except her one person will actually talk to you like your a person, unless ofc you're in the inner circle. very cliquey and they very obviously pick favorites. its also disgusting in there and the food has gone downhill recently. used to be a really good place back in the day when i was in college but now its trash. only giving one star cause i have to leave a review. also has anyone noticed the wires just there on the outside of the building? thats gotta be a safety hazard of some sorts. the place is awful the service is bad. just don't waste your time and go to one of the many other lovely bars in plattsburgh. read more

Awful place. Do not waste a second thinking of going to this place. The service is pitiful and staff is very rude. No appreciation for the customer. Will never return. read more

Great place for drinks and wings! Over a dozen different sauces!! Our favorite was the Stoner wings! Mix and match your wings! They also have pizza and your standard bar food. Fried pickles, jalapeño poppers etc.. Don't miss this gem in downtown Plattsburgh!! read more

Omg I dream about this pizza. Like Chicago, do you guys ever dry ice and overnight ship if customer pays? No expense spared for your best in the universe pizza. Please respond here if you have a way to do it read more

One of my all time favorite college bars. Good stiff drinks, easy on the wallet. Sit at the front bar during any afternoon, and chat with the best bartenders in Plattsburgh. I make it a point to stop into Plattsburgh oldest bar whenever I'm in town. If you're ever in town, stop in for a slice of the best Sicilian style pizza and grab a beer and soak up the old school.... read more

Cool, authentic, old school bar with a unique layout and pool table. The bar has been here for ~120 years! It's close to the Main Street in downtown Plattsburg but on a one off side street (you have to sort of look for it ). Bartender was super nice and was nailing the music! They don't have a jukebox but their bartenders know how to d j and have good taste. Saturday's they have live music ! Wings excellent as well. (Limited menu but great wings) read more

Awesome vibe. Cash only but there is an ATM in the back. Has pool, darts, beer pong, and foosball. Drinks are cheap and good and servers are pleasant and interactive. Big projector screens in the back to watch the game. read more

We stopped in here while in Plattsburgh for our daughters graduation. The stoner wings and hot wings were delicious!! Super meaty and awesome flavors. Good drinks on tap. Definitely a favorite of the locals , and apparently late at night it's a popular college age hangout. read more

In town for the jab. Stopped at Monopole for wings and it was worth it. Pretty decent on tap choices. With friendly Bar servThe "hot" wings were not extremely hot but a nice bit of heat. Worth seeking out while in town. read more

Your quintessential dive bar and college-student hot spot, and you know what? I'm OK with that. Cash-only is my only gripe but the super cheap menu of delicious wings and Ellio's-style thick, square pizza is a great compliment to the long list of cheap (but not bad) drinks. There's a concert area upstairs that plays host to your generic jamband tomfollery, but it's fitting for Plattsburgh. I'd go back for the sports bar/decent music/and college vibe. Best time to go is when school's not in session as apparently the place can get mobbed. Sunday and Wednesdays = $2 Saranac drafts which is a win (yup, totally went on a Wednesday). read more

This place is ASS!!!! Slowest service I've ever experienced try waiting 2 hours for 22 wings.... ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCES HERE. Not good enough for the shit service read more

This is where the locals go. Ok so its a bit of a dive. Loud, dark and a bit dirty. But the wings are killer good, and cheap! Drink specials are also really price competitive, and they feature them daily. They feature local bands on the weekends upstairs, and also host local fundraisers which I really appreciate. If you go late or on the weekends you are going to get inundated with drunk college kids, and it gets pretty crowded. This goes double for wing night. But you can always take your wings to go (BE SURE TO CALL IN WING ORDERS ON THURSDAY!). The pool tables upstairs on the right are usually pretty open, which is a good place to hide if you dislike large crowds and don't mind standing. Also cash only, but there are several ATMs nearby. read more

This place has a lot of character. Even the alleyway it's located in makes it seem like a cool, little known place to take in the scene. read more

Monopole Restaurant - a woman standing at the bar - Pizza Near Me - Plattsburgh, New York

I went here while visiting my brother over the weekend. I like the laid-back atmosphere. It's kind of like a two story house inside, which is cool because there's often live music upstairs but if you want to actually talk, you can hang out downstairs. I like that it's a total mix of locals and college students and seems to totally lack pretension. Even better, it's remarkably cheap. I'd probably go here often if I lived in P'burgh. read more

This place looks like a dump. Leaky ceilings, awful decor etc etc. But the wings and Sicilian slice were surprisingly good. Also there was a good variety of beer on tap, and the prices are great! Thumbs up!! read more

2.50$ pitchers on wing night can't beat that. Wings are good. Apparently the chefs bring their own "special hot sauce " from home too. I guess they like to party as well. FYI stay away from the pizza, infact go anywhere else. read more

One of the great elements of these well worn towns like Plattsburgh is that there are relics from another time that cements the concept of unique. Monopole is a back alley joint...a very old wood laden cozy bar. Just a fantastic warm place with a great bartender who talked with me about her hometown and some of the wonderful eateries in Utica I have had the fortune to visit. Very social bar patrons as well. Of course given we are in an alcoholics wonderland of -5 degrees in Plattsburgh NY in Feb: Cheap drinks. Will be back after the thaw for sure! read more

Great local bar, oldest in Plattsburgh. Friendly, fun, great selection and service! We really like this place read more

I ordered hot wings after the rave reviews. They were awful.Over cooked way over cooked.Called kitchen suggested A timer.She apoligized saying they were busy and oh well.Not the best wings in Plattsburgh not even close.Would not order again, very dissapointed after the rave reviews on the internet .They need a timer and enough staff in the kitchen to get it right.Cory you need more help on Friday nights as your kitchen can't get it right when there busy.TERRIBLY OVERCOOKED.Would not recommend them or return again.Sorry Cory you failed tonight and you need a timer that staff knows how to use.TERRIBLY OVERCOOKED.pizza hut kicks your butt. Would not ever order your wings again.Called to complain kitchen staff said they were too busy to get it right.Pizza hut has a timer and knows how to use it.I should have brought them downtown for refund.20 wings delivered on Friday night TERRIBLE..ps I think its time to change your oil ,Suprise ...it tastes like someone burned somthing in the oil like the wings I bought.Not impressed.Wish I went to pizza hut. read more

best. bar. in the world. as a frame of reference for how many nights i've spent at the 'pole, i've lived in boston for 3 years and i still don't get ID'd here. they've got it all - nice long bar, back room with booths, erotic photo hunt, pool, darts, hit or miss live music upstairs, usually good classic rock mix downstairs, cheap drinks, awesome pizza and wings for when you get hungry, and a great crowd. the green room and peabody's are right next door which syphon off most of the douchebags so you're left with a pretty good mix. plus the "smoking lounge" (alleyway right out the front door) is usually good for some entertainment. last time i was smoking outside the monopole i saw some really fat redneck chick trying to fight a bouncer at peabody's. when i'm in town you can usually find me here at night. read more

This is what I think about when I want to g to a great college bar! Its half a sports bar, half a weekday after work bar, and half and live music bar. It has two floors which separate the different atmospheres. Come here to have some incredible sings in the sports bar area on the first floors. The wings are awesome. Not so sure about the pizza though. Come to play darts, pool, watch a game, etc. It is always a good time. Get a $2.50 ( it may be 3 dollars now) pitchers of beer on particular nights at well. Perfect for a college student. Music is always playing during the weekends in the upstairs area. I have heard some awesome bands play there. its truly a great time. You can dance, or just enjoy the music from a stool at the bar. Its a dingy looking place, but I guess it adds to the small town college atmosphere. Its nice that it is low key. If you get there early enough you might not even have to pay a cover charge. Then you can enjoy music and a fun night for free... if your not buying a drink of course. I am not back home from college. but my boyfriend and I sure do miss this place! read more

The Stoner wings and Sicilian pizza deal is killer! $22 for 20 wings and 6 giant slices of pizza! Besides great price they are the best wings I've ever had! read more

My absolute favorite bar in the world. Always great music, whether it be live performances or just tunes on the stereo. Great atmosphere, and plenty of things to do. Bars upstairs and downstairs, as well as a little "pitcher window" on the the first floor where you can get $1.75 pitchers of rolling rock on week nights. I lived in Plattsburgh for two years and i wish every town had a place like this. read more

stoner or mantis wings on a wednesday please! The wait can take forever (like 2 hours) on busy night or it can take 15 minutes on other nights. I recommend calling and making an order for pick up! The back bar opens at 10 pm for $2.50 Rolling Rock. It's perfect for a college budget! Overall, beer and deeeeelicious wings.. can't go wrong. read more
