Always fun for groups or individuals. Especially busy during sporting events. Plenty of tv’s. Late night full menu is extraordinary. Food is always tasty and daily specials are available. Live music is good but can overpower the acoustical capabilities of the space. (low ceiling-high noise level).

We were excited to try this place since it was close to our Airbnb. Our first experience wasn’t great. We stopped in to place a to-go order so we could relax back at the house, but after standing there for about 15 minutes without being acknowledged or helped, I ended up leaving. My wife called to see what was going on, and they asked me to come back in, but by that point we were frustrated and decided not to. Unfortunately, we didn’t even get dinner that first night because of the confusion and lack of service.
We decided to give them a second chance, hoping it was just an off night. While our server (a tall guy with a tattoo on one leg) was friendly, the service itself was disappointing. Our food came out quickly, but he rarely checked on us and seemed more focused on joking around with coworkers than taking care of his tables.
I will say the black-haired waitress was very friendly and appeared to be working harder than anyone else there, even though she wasn’t our server. She was constantly moving and staying busy. On the other hand, it was concerning to see another employee vaping in the drink area, which didn’t leave a good impression. (Dirty blonde headed girl)
Overall, the restaurant seems to lack management and oversight. With better leadership and attention to customer service, this place could improve. Based on our experience, though, we wouldn’t return.

Monkey’s Uncle at Jacksonville Beach is the perfect spot to watch a Jaguars game. The place was packed and buzzing the entire time but the staff absolutely kept up and did a perfect job. Drinks came out fast food stayed consistent and the energy inside was exactly what you want on game day. Tons of TVs a true sports bar atmosphere and a crowd that is there for football not background noise. Even with how busy it was the service never slipped which says a lot. If you are looking for a Jags game day bar at Jax Beach with great service and nonstop energy Monkey’s Uncle delivers every time.

Really enjoyed coming here with friends. It’s great on weekdays or on the weekends. We came on a Friday night and the food, service, and live music was all AWESOME!

Great local place! Loved the food, great service. Only wish they had a variety of local beers. As a visitor, would love to try some local brews.

Service was very disappointing. Several bar guests were ignored multiple times as bartender/server was more into her phone. There were a few other phone breaks during my visit that I did not get. Service was provided by another bartender working opposite side and food runner. I can only hop they do not tip split here. Food was good on all levels. Atmosphere was great. Hopefully this can be a teachable moment for this individual.

It’s a bar with good food and healthy choices. The service was really great. It was getting busy on a Wednesday night at 10:45 when we left.
Edit to update march 2024
It took over 25 minutes to get someone to clean our table. Then she says we’re busy and understaffed so it’ll be at least an hour for food. We left.

We just ordered appetizers, buffalo wings, beef nachos and grilled mai mai bites. There was very little meat on the nachos, the grilled mai bites were like a slat lick and the wings were typical bar wings. The service was slow, at one point we went 20 minutes without our waitress checking on us, I had to ask another employee to get our waitress so we could order more drinks. The bar was busy but I noticed on more than one occasion our waitress was just hanging out talking to other staff in the back or the bar. Prices were typical but I would consider other sports bars in the Jax beach area over this one. Roll Tide!!!

Can’t beat the 5$ Burger as far as a deal goes, but the menu is all great quality for a good price. Staff is very friendly and takes care of their customers, fun place to grab some food or hang out with your people.
