    We went here before a Red Sox game for some drinks and each beer I ordered was quite good. They also have an adult juice box drink that many people ordered and loved it. This place has a sweet vibe with a whole area designated to billiards and table shuffle board with couches all around to just hangout. The staff were all very friendly and it was a great experience. Next time I'll have to give the food a try as that looked good too. If you like craft beer, go here when in Boston.

    The beers were very average all of the soda pop tasted like bleach and the food was subpar. If you rinse your beer glasses before you pour beer wouldnt you do the same thing with your soda? I don't think that craft beer is what you do actually... And unfortunately you don't really do food either. A classic example of quantity over quality.

    Drinks are good but the food is so underrated here! Honestly always so tasty and fresh and very quick. Also just a fun night out in Fenway!

    Beer and food are decent. We had the spinach dip which was good, but the chips were thin and lacked salt. The fried cauliflower was delicious! This seems like a very fun atmosphere, although when we went, the pool tables and shuffle board section was closed for a private event. Our bar tender was horrible. We asked for a tap list, she pointed to a beer list that had maybe half of their taps on it. She was rude and seemed to have an attitude the entire night. For a brewery, I expect more information on their brews other than the literal tap label at the bar.

    Overall a good experience. We didn't have any trouble getting sat on a Saturday afternoon. They were out of 3/7 of their beers so the flight was of the remaining four. The Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale was delicious, I definitely recommend if you're into the fruity beers with that hint of sweetness. I'm not generally an IPA fan but the double IPA - Harambe's Ghost was pretty good. Food was decent. We got the Nori Fries and Queso Verde which were both good. For our meals, we ordered the Mushroom & Pepperjack Burger and the Katsu Chicken Bao. I was a little disappointed with both. The flavors of the burger didn't really pop. The sauce on the bao was fantastic but the chicken was a thin piece and although very crispy, was very tough. Overall a cool place though and I would come back to probably try other items on the menu. They also have this cool back space area with lots of pool tables, ping pong tables and shuffleboard. Loved the atmosphere.

    A great place to hang out and get drinks, and not bad for prices! Plus people watching down in the game section is always for free haha! Love going here and playing some shuffleboard with the pals, and the food rocks 👍

    Great atmosphere and fancy interiors. Got more lively as the night passed. We had drinks and food and enjoyed everything. Their garlic bread which came with the pasta I ordered was a bit chewy and felt rubbery in texture and wish it was crispy! Service got a little slower as the place drew more crowd in after the Redsox game but with the music and the vibe we didn’t mind waiting.

    Great bar on game day! My drink was really strong but was still good and was super cute and came with a popsicle! Blueberry Mojito was DELICIOUS. Wings were super yummy! Solid bar! Pool tables, clean restroom, comfy couch & great service!

    Went here with friends who were visiting Boston. We went early to a ball game at Fenway and upon recommendation from their hotel clerk, went to Cheeky Monkey. We sat in a booth just inside the door. The atmosphere was fun and there were beginning to be crowds of people as the game was set to start in an hour. A good place for food and a pre-game beer. Our first beer was delivered by an experimental server robot which was a fun experience. I can recommend the shaking beef and the 3 Lansdowne beer and the wild blueberry beer. They craft them onsite! There was some outdoor seating as well as bar and booth seating. There was a whole extended back room with pool tables and a second bar that was empty when we went. There was also a fire place and couch set up back that way. When we were done it was really starting to get busy as we popped across the street to Fenway Ball park. After the game there was a line down the street to get in!

    We came in 30 minutes to close because we really needed to charge our phones to get us back to our hotel. The bartender working was super nice and charged our phone for us while we sat and had a drink. Definitely recommend the Rasberry Sour.

    Arrrived before an afternoon Red Sox game, Were seated promptly and had good serivce. Food was ok, seemed less like fresh made and more like mass produced. Menu had good variety but some of their signature in-house brews were out. Great atmosphere.

    Pretty large space and great location however once seated it took 20 minutes for someone to check in on us. It was pretty empty and many servers/bartenders standing around. Once a waitress spotted us, service was great from that point on. We went with their Spinach Artichoke Dip and Fried Calamari and it was great. I’m still craving the fried calamari! Beer Selection - Sour Batch Kehd and we would drink that again!

    Wonderful place for food and drinks. Loved the pool tables and the bartenders were so nice. My real estate colleagues and I enjoyed our time there for a get together for the holidays. Unfortunately, when I went outside for some fresh air, I wasn’t let back inside by the staff. Nothing wrong, it was only 11pm, and I saw them letting people in, but me specifically wasn’t let back in. Suit and tie, my tab was still open, not trashy, and I wasn’t let back in. I appreciate them keeping the scene “appropriate” however I felt offended because I couldn’t go back in but anyone who was white was allowed to go in. Imagine being outside in the freezing cold and all of your friends are inside, your tab is open and you’re just waiting to go back inside but they won’t let you but they’ll let 5 other people go in. I felt distraught as it was an important time to gather with my team and here I am in a suit and tie, outside a bar and not allowed to re-enter. Please reconsider visiting cheeky monkey for your next visit.

    Fun spot near Fenway for shuffleboard, pool, and other games. There are many sweet beers on tap. The environment is fun. This space holds a lot of people and also has dining options.

    We sat at the bar. Mira was our bartender and she was AMAZING. Nonstop busy but she was so attentive and she was friendly to everyone that came up to order at the bar all throughout our time here. The Mexican street corn was absolutely delicious.

    Fast & friendly service. Monkey burger was great. Too big to finish. Fries were cooked perfect and a good portion.

    Stopped in for a few beers with friends. Had some of their in house beers and was happy with the price, service and quality of the beer. Definitely a place I'll go back to.

    quite frankly the worst burger ive ever had & the bar service was awful. pool table area is great. also love the blueberry beer.

    Pretty lousy beer for a brewery. I don’t remember the last time I opted to not finish my beer. The mango beer was truly gross. Service and atmosphere was good otherwise.

    The adult juice boxes were so yummy! We got a bunch of apps that were tasty too. Definitely a fun stop to get drinks with friends.
