Reviews for Brass Monkey in Nepean, ON
A longstanding monument to Nepean that you must check out. Many prominent rock and metal groups have stepped in their ring,... with the likes of local Annihilator and Anvil, Pat Travers, and many many others - there's no short list actually. It's worthkeeping an eye out as to who's coming if you're a metalhead like myself! On the less eventful days, billiards and dart boardsare available for a casual hangout. I believe leagues come by though! For the nitpicking: the beer game needs a bit of work.Some modern beers have made their way in as cans - great! But I wish local beers were on tap, what with so many good ones tochoose from. Read more
Have been here a couple of times. Saw a Bon Jovi cover band. The band was excellent. There weren't even 100 people there... which was surprising. It was $18 cover charge, cash only. Maybe that was a turn off for people as it seems steep for a bar butthe band was good. Band came on around 930pm and no problem finding a seat. The lighting and sound was good. There is notable service and the bar, pool tables, etc. are cash only. Of course they have an ATM on site that charges a fortune so bringcash. It is a dive bar. Food items are limited to packages candy bars or bags of chips. Alcohol bar rail drinks are about $7each. Pop/soda is about $3. Lots of canned beer and cooler options, mainly domestic options. To improve the experience theyneed more people so there is more energy from the crowd, table service for drinks, have a drink menu with some specialty drinks,and take credit cards. Read more
Don't go there. Worst experiemce ever! Not professional and manager was disrespectful! On their facebook page they advertised a... show starting at 8pm. Am there waiting until 9:45pm but nothing seem to be starting yet! I paid 18$ entrance fee for the show,but there was no show yet! I Talked to the manager, saying "on line it says the show starts at 8 but it is 9:45 now and i haveto go, can i get back my 18$ entrance fee back?" and showed him their online post. He said "well there is lots of things itdoesn't say, in all bars shows starts at 10 or 11" Well, i guess i just got scammed, its not about the 18$ but about the lowcustomer service they are providing! A simple "we appologize for the delay, let me check with the band and let you know theexact timing they will be ready to start" would have been a much better reply! Plus, they take ONLY cash .....

What a GREAT venue! Exactly what you want when you see a live show, staff are SUPER, place is very clean, I wish I lived... closer!! People chatting to me said they?ve been coming for over 12 years- I can see why! Amazing place! Read more
Great spot for bands or just a friendly night playing pool with your friends.
Hard for me to rate the place as in a Wednesday night i was basically the only table in the large venue. Big basement bar with... lots of unused pool tables tonight. And staff didn't know what the beer on tap was. Strange. Read more
We go fairly often as it is a great place to hear live bands at good prices. Staff treats us pretty well and the owner has... always treated us good. Has pool tables and pinball, and some seating. Have seen quite a few bands there and will continue to. Read more
Nice place to have fun . Heavy metal music as I can't hear but I hang out with friends here. Huge parking lot with many... businesses on site. Read more
