Get served: The Flying Monkey Pub

Libations

The two-sided bar means that the pub is always doubly stocked with spirits. Flying Monkey offers over 20 beers with a sampling of common domestic drafts and harder-to-find bottles like Unibroue’s La Fin du Monde or Abita’s Purple Haze (and of course, Victory’s Golden Monkey).

The martini list is full of creative twists and surprises. Try the rich, frothy Van Go-Go martini, mixed with Van Gogh Espresso Vodka, Starbucks coffee liqueur, and cream ($8.75)—the dude would most certainly approve. Some of the martinis might be a little too saccharine for some. The Funky Monkey ($8.75) combines five flavors of Bacardi with cranberry and pineapple juice. For a juicebox-tini, it’s still tasty.

If you’re into ordering the special, you might want to find a D.D. Flying Monkey offers a beer, wine, shot, and martini of the month. Check the chalkboards above the bar.
