Happy hour is offered daily from 4pm-7pm. Inside, one will find a full menu, full bar, pool table, darts and pull tabs. Upstairs seating offers booths and tables that can be pulled together to accommodate larger groups. The food menu is the same as JR Phinickey's, burgers, dogs, flatbreads, etc. While deciding on what to eat, my wife and I slurped on a Mac & Jack and Bodhi for $6 each. We shared the Peanut Butter Bacon Cheeseburger for $17: peanut butter sauce, bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles. We opted for a side salad for an additional $1.50 in place of fries. We both enjoyed this fun burger version. Service was friendly and efficient. The Monkey Bar does well at maintain the same feel as Phinickey's.

I visited The Monkey Bar during Marysville's Strawberry Festival, and it was a fun little…read moreadventure. The place was packed (understandably so!), and while there are three floors, it seemed like only the lower two were in use. Still, there was plenty of seating and room to roam. The bar has a definite dive bar charm, with a lively, local vibe. There were games like pool, skee-ball, and others that added to the laid-back, casual energy. The staff was fantastic--super friendly and upbeat, even with the festival rush. They went all in on the strawberry theme with cute decorations hanging from the ceiling and drinks served in plastic strawberry-shaped cups. A really fun touch! As for food, I took a chance on the "calamari"--which turned out to be a cleverly disguised sliced hot dog shaped like an octopus. Unexpected? Yes. Oddly delicious? Also yes. Definitely not your standard bar food, but it totally worked in a novelty kind of way. If you're looking for a relaxed, playful spot with strong hometown energy--especially during a festival--Monkey Bar delivers.

I think this place has real potential with someone pulling in the reigns and being present to watch…read morethe restaurant. We had multiple small issues. Timing was the biggest issue and not updating costs versus charges. Increases happen but posting them is important for transparency. So, let's review. Issues #1 Bartender/Server was nice but very distracted with other things and there were only 3 tables including us. Had to wait for refills for 5+ minutes while talking to an employee at the bar. We got up and grabbed a pitcher of water finally after 3 requests. They noticed and apologized. 2. Food requests where not completed although not world ending still kitchen needs to be paying attention for people with allergies it could be huge. Requested no onions came covered in onions. Ordered bacon on the burger no bacon. Other small issues not huge but annoying. And dessert that was ordered was left on the bar rail for 10+ minutes before being dropped off. 3. Pricing. I have a tendency to review where I am going online prior to eating out. Pricing on the online menu and reality when arriving most things where higher priced at the restaurant. I did ask they had price increases a couple months ago. I don't set my budget off online pricing, but it does set an idea of costs. Desserts were a large issue with this as the menu and online are different than the current pricing in the restaurant. Now to the food. This is why I think they can pull this out with some effort. Although I was mind set on a Prime Rib sandwich I was told they were out. I was given a few recommendations glad they did. Appetizer, I got the jalapeno popper dip and the brown sugar mozza bread. Both were hot and fresh when they came out to the table Dinner Smash burger had great flavor and although not what I think of as a smash burger it was well built and the flavors where there. Fresh veggies and the home fries were what I was looking for. Also have at least one person upgrade to the Brussel sprouts because I generally hate them and these were amazing. Fish was hand breaded and had great flavor for fish and chips at the price I will get this again. Chicken Chili is a must if you like chicken chili thick and flavorful it is almost a meal in itself. Dessert Everything is made there. The pistachio Tiramiso was perfect flavors were perfect and fresh. Cherry cheesecake was on point also. We will be back again in the future and hopefully things will be running a little tighter than now. I think this could be one of the top 5 in this area with some elbow grease.

I'm really torn about this place…read more When we first walked in, we were warmly greeted, which made a great first impression. The cigar shop inside the venue was excellent -- the staff member was kind, knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The bartender was also friendly, and the drinks were very good. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended for me. As someone who's fairly new to the cigar world, I expected some smoke, but the air quality was extremely rough. Even the seasoned cigar smokers I was with commented on how hard it was to breathe. We asked if they could turn up the HVAC system, which they did, and it helped somewhat, but it still wasn't enough to make the space comfortable. My biggest issue, however, is the lack of compassion shown toward customers -- especially in how negative reviews are handled. The responses to criticism are surprisingly aggressive and defensive. Instead of acknowledging feedback or trying to improve, reviewers are often insulted, berated, and even told not to return. That kind of response is shocking and unprofessional. Most people are simply offering honest opinions as customers, not attacking the business. Whether it's the owners or whoever manages their social media, this approach needs serious reconsideration. Telling customers not to come back because of constructive criticism is not a sustainable or respectful business model.

Rhelynn, our server, was attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. She was knowledgeable about the menu, checked in at all the right moments, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and very enjoyable. The custom cocktails were a standout. Becca clearly knows her craft--each drink was well‑balanced, creative, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell there's real attention to detail and pride behind the bar. If you're on the fence about trying something custom, absolutely do it--you won't be disappointed. The food paired perfectly with the cocktails and rounded out a great overall experience. Between the quality of the drinks, the solid food, and the excellent service, Bluewater Distillery delivered across the board. We'll definitely be back and will be recommending this place to friends--especially if Rhelynn and Becca are working.

THIS REVIEW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VOLLI AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ARMORY - The company now…read moremanaging the pickleball courts, who share space with Volli and are ruining the wonderful atmosphere that was Volli prior to Armory taking over. Our visit to The Armory Pickleball Club in Marysville was unfortunately ruined by an extremely unprofessional interaction with the manager, Ryan. This was our first time visiting. I had created an account ahead of time and believed I had reserved a court from 5-7 pm, but the booking system is confusing and I never received a confirmation email explaining what I had actually reserved. When we arrived, there was no staff available to greet guests or help new players understand where to go. I walked the entire facility looking for someone and even called the phone number listed, but no one answered. Since all courts were full except one, we assumed that was associated with my reservation and the four of us (on a double date) began playing. Later in the evening, Ryan approached us in a very abrupt and accusatory way assuming we were sitting there drinking and using a court without permission. I immediately showed her my reservation and explained that this was our first time there. As soon as I realized the system likely required each person to pay individually for open play, I offered to pay for the additional three players right away. Instead of handling the situation with professionalism or helping clarify the confusion, Ryan continued speaking to us in a rude and confrontational tone that felt unnecessary and disrespectful. It was especially frustrating because we were trying to do the right thing and resolve the issue immediately. Adding to the poor experience, the women's locker room had no toilet paper, and many of the tables in the seating area were covered with dirty dishes and had not been cleared. For a facility promoting a social atmosphere, basic upkeep and hospitality seemed to be lacking that evening. We had actually been having a great time until this interaction, but the way Ryan handled the situation completely ruined what was supposed to be a fun date night. Because of the way we were treated, we will not be returning.
