11pm Trevor Faurot
?You can Tell that Trevor Faurot is a big Radiohead fan by listening to his music. That?s not a bad thing, though, Some of Faurot?s music leans more towards the minimalism and experimentalism, using eerie samples and noises that I would imagine hearing a lot in a submarine. Other songs sound very personal, and would make for good rainy day listening? NJ .tumbler.com

Say what you will but the Iron Monkey has outlasted most of its competition in and around the area which in the food and Bev industry is considered a Miracle.

I've been hanging there on and off for the past 11 plus years as well and take my hat off to this establishment constantly trying to re-invent itself iregardless of success or
failure at that moment.

Ain't that the truth... Those chairs on the roof are brutal.

Quote:

I've been going to the IM semi-regularly since about 1998 and mostly enjoy it, but then again I don't seek creativity and positive energy when I want to have a few beers.

Over the years the management and kitchen have been a revolving door, but my only complaint is that those cast iron chairs are hard on the ass by beer #3.

When is "drop off your kids" night?

It's possible that I'm uptight.

It's also possible that the folks who run this bar lack the kind of creativity and positive energy that brings in good & consistent business.

just sayin.

The previous posts just prove how some of you are really wound tight!

Doesn't take much to set most of you off, take a breath enjoy life and don't take yourself too serious.

I can see how ya'll don't get out much......


Cheers

first the impossible 100 beer contest.. and now drop your girlfriend off and leave night?? seriously, you need to hire a marketing/pr person. iron monkey is a cool spot, but you're going to end up losing business with these ridiculous (and morally questionable) ploys. it makes me not want to go, and i already like the place. i promise you won't be drawing in new customers, you'll be losing the ones you already have.

Drop off your girlfriend night?

for real?

not that this surprises me, knowing the history of the Iron Monkey...

but come on Steve.

get it already.

Can you drop off a wife, too?

I used to like the "LQ, your club and concert calendar!" promos.

"Ladies night at Hunka Bunka! Ladies 11 years old to party, 21 to drink! Guys - 26+ with proof of $150K income!"
