The Brass Monkey was a great little stop for us. We were up from San Diego to watch some softball at OSU and wanted a late snack and drink. The pickle chips and house potato chips are both highly recommended and were cooked to perfection. We had the Brass Monkey drink, which was not to strong, but super refreshing and would recommend to anyone who likes a whiskey drink. read more

On a Labor Day evening walked in for the first time. Extremely eclectic decor, a few tables and a few booths. Ample stocked bar, your basic good pub food. Some local delights, the menu is a couple of pages with your higher end standards. The service was quick and the food came out hot and appropriate order. Nothing was forgotten and was quite a pleasant experience. I will be back to have some more of their variations, they have two or three different Mac and cheese options which is always a favorite for me. read more

Stopped in for a late night dinner. Minors are allowed until close. Small indoor dining area (large groups might find this difficult location), but some tables sat six people. Seating options very eclectic! Varied (and tasty!) menu--place order @ bar; staff brings out food when ready. Wide range of drink options as well--AND fresh squeezed lemon-aid. Would return! read more

Very cute spot on the waterfront! Went for a Saturday lunch, and you order at the bar which took awhile with one bartender/cashier. I got the Poké Bowl which was very fresh and tasty. The bowl made it a little hard to mix the ingredients in, but that's my only criticism. My friend order the Veggie burger with cheese. She said the sandwich was flavorful, however would've subbed the Potato Chips next time since they were overly seasoned. Definitely will have to come and try some other dishes! read more

This place looks amazing. It's has a lot of charm and a lot of nooks for cozy seating. The menu looks great and there are plenty of cocktails to choose from. Note: you order your food at the bar so don't expect the busy waitstaff to track you down to order. The frickles were the fan favorite of the night with a tasty batter and a deliciously spicy sauce. The burger was also good and the egg perfectly cooked but the chicken sandwiches were "meh." The size was pretty generous but the chicken was over fried, giving it an unpleasant charred taste. The roasted sandwich was much better, but a little dry. We will return because the overall impact was positive, but we will try something else in the menu. I should also note that the lone floor waitstaff was pulled in a lot of different directions but she remained friendly and approachable. Kudos to her for wrangling the wants of a full room! Three sammies with fries, an app, two cocktails, and a soda= $88 before the tip. read more

Although a VERY hot day at 105°, we decided To venture out along the riverwalk. The Brass Monkey looked very much a nice place to sip something cold. It was a bit warm Inside so the menu was a "cold menu" We both ordered a Cobb salad. One of the best Cobb salads we ever had. Highly recommend! read more

First time in Corvallis on business and a co-worker and I took a stroll along the Willamette River walking path and noticed The Brass Monkey. It's a cool, interestingly decorated little place! The food is very good with a wide variety of cocktails and brews. Service is great, as well. read more

This evening was on a mission looking for bbq. I found this place on Yelp & it's conveniently located in downtown. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich & it was tasty but seemed like the meat was a little bit "old" & probably had been cooking all day. The 1 bartender & 1 server were very welcoming & friendly. The place was packed & they had 70's v version of the Price is Right with Bob Barker playing. The ambience was incredible & the place was packed. I told the server I will definitely b back when my sister visits from ABQ! Right across from river park & next door to a homemade ice cream shop.i read more

Love the ambiance - unique seating options while great posters and pictures hang on the walls. Great service...kind and efficient! Food was delicious...I got the pulled pork sandwich and my friend got the chicken sandwich. I imagine this place is packed on a weekend evening but for lunch on a Monday in the summer, it was great! read more

Cool vibe and great service. Food is heavy but perfect if you're looking for nachos and indulgence. Nice they have games too.

I ordered the portobello nacho platter I did not realize it would have jalapeno peppers on it, but no big deal, I set them to the side. After consuming 1/4 of the dish I began to feel the burn. Not in my mouth, but in my stomach. I can tolrate some hot spices, but this was worse. Usually there is a warning on a menu for extra spicey dishes. Not so here. And since they do not use waiters, no caution was given when ordering. Kind of ruined my night. read more

i came here and it was pretty packed but we luckily found a nice spot. we ordered at the counter and seated ourselves. the food was alright. i enjoyed the truffle fries, which were perfectly crisp and had a good flavor. the pulled pork taco was okay. it didn't have much flavor besides the sauce. this was not the most mind-blowing meal but it was good nourishment. read more

The Brass Monkey is more of a pub like eatery. There is a decent menu with very good food and a full bar that also offers specialty drinks. It definitely has that 'College Town' feel. Grab a menu at the door, seat yourself, order and pay at bar, this place is a modernist throwback to the 70's & 80s. The overhead music is also of the era including hits from British Punk, Americana and the like. The walls are decorated with skateboard memorabilia, Elvis is there, Bruce Lee, vintage photos.. The burgers come with house made chips. You can upgrade to those fantastic battered fries though. The chips are fantastic homemade seasoned slices of potatoes that come in a generous portion. They really are unique in that you will not find any chips anywhere with this semi salty semi barbecue flavor. They have to be experienced to understand the flavor profile. The loaded fries came in a crispy batter, pieces of bacon, a dollop of sour cream and chives with melted cheese. This is an appetizer that is huge. Share it or you take the rest home, it is a large portion. I had the Pub burger. It came out with a nice beef flavor and not over seasoned. I like the mix of a hot beef patty with cold crisp fresh shredded lettuce, tomato and onion on a seedless bun. It wasn't so oversized that you couldn't pick it up. It was nice to have a burger that wasn't totally messy. It was well constructed and very flavorful. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is inviting. I would definitely go back. read more

Really great food in a funky atmosphere. They were super busy when we were here so it was hard to get a clean table. We really enjoyed our food including my delicious salad. The waitress was very nice and attentive. read more

We took my cousin here for her birthday. Everyone loved it! 10/10 would recommend. The non alcoholic drinks are a great choice read more

Ambiance was good, service was adequate but the food was terrible, with exception of the fries, those were perfect. My burger was a hard, burned up hockey puck. Hands down the WORST burger I've ever had, especially for $25. My companion had a bacon grilled cheese she didn't eat and some others at the table had hockey puck burgers and the Mac and cheese. Was incredibly disappointing. Looked forward to trying this place for a few weeks. they were out of their famous fish and chips so I thought a burger was a safe second choice. No, and I'm guessing the fish isn't that good either. read more

Good food and good prices. Got the mac and cheese. It was tasty. Nice vibes in the summer being able to sit outside. You do have to order at the bar but outdoor seating is nice. read more

I don't understand why the bartender is taking food and drink orders all the while trying to make the drinks. Wanted another drink but didn't want to wait in line just for a beer. Had the chicken wings and they tasted like freezer burn. read more

Good food, good service, decent selection of local beers on tap. I'll be back when visiting OSU!

We've eaten at this restaurant about a dozen times over the years, ever since the restaurant opened, hoping that it would improve. It has not. The menu is not extensive, and the food they serve is just so-so, and it's inexpensive. They never ever have had enough staff on shifts; consequently, service is very slow. It's always very noisy inside when the place is even half full. We are not going back to this restaurant ever again. There are better places in town to eat. read more

A great pllace for dinner. Great cocktails, great food, a bit of a grungy college town feel to it. Pretty friendly staff.

Amazing food. Multiple choices. All fresh. Service is excellent. I will definitely eat here again. read more

Food was great, drinks even better but what really made my night was the bartender, Landini.(don't think that's actually his name but he kept calling himself that) Maybe it was because we shared a couple magical moments, if you know what I mean. read more

The service was great. The outside seating is pet friendly which I needed. Table was dirty. A lot of foot traffic walking by, which I could have done without. Had bees interested in food and drink and ants on the table, but that's probably anywhere with outdoor seating this time of year. Food was just okay. Salad was not crisp at all, completely wilted, and the tomatoes were mealy. Probably would not go back. read more

We had a big group so I can talk about a few dishes.The food and service are absolutely fabulous. I was having such a great time, I forgot to take pics of the food. The Nachos were so good, and so much we took some home. The pulled pork sandwich was perfectly seasoned and the homemade chips were a little spicy, making them a perfect combo. The Chicken sandwich was crispy and flavorful and juicy. We had truffle fries as an appetizer and the portion was generous and the fries were delicious. We had the chocolate brulee for dessert and everyone loved it. For context about the wonderful and kind service, one of us has a disability and they made sure we could use a cup and straw for the person that works better than a glass and they cut the food up, making sure it was easier to eat. I would tell anyone to go here and you will get a great meal and be served very well. Show less read more

Very good service for and order at the Bar place. At first I wasn't quite sure but the bartender and the server that brought out food changed my mind right away. Great place to hang out and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The food was solid, chicken sandwich was huge, the pull pork was delicious and the smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese is delicious. read more

Amazing place! The food was great and I actually didn't know what kind of of drink to order so I got a lot of recommendations from the bartender and I ended up enjoying it! read more

Oh my gosh, you guys. These burgers were delicious. The chips were delicious. The fries were delicious. We would hands down recommend this place. Ambiance was cool and trendy, with a very affirming and open feel. The place was busy, and yet we found a seat on a small loveseat right away. You seat yourself and order at the bar, so grab a table as soon as you see it! My husband upgraded to fries for $2 and they were worth it; however, sticking with the potato chips was not a mistake -- we loved those, too! They were just the right mix of spicy and salty. The blue cheese burger was STRONG. If you love blue cheese, go for it. If you don't absolutely love blue cheese, order something else. Service was fast and friendly. We highly recommend! read more
