Brass Monkey Local in St. Catharines

Food was delicious. I loved my vegan dish. The poutine was delicious too but it didn t have the authentic cheese curds FYI

When to see a drag show there on Sunday night to be disappointed that theres only eight tables to be seated at. It ended up being more like a burlesque show

Was okay.

Great place, one of the few places left with friendly personal service and atmosphere where they make you feel welcome every time.

Best wings in Niagara

Servers A++

The food is so delicious and the Service is great I definitely recommend going there!

So kind and courteous. Able to accommodate allergies and had many vegan options.

Great pub food! My husband is vegetarian and I am vegan! Great to be able to go to a pub and get good vegan and vegetarian food! Warning ..portions are big....plenty of food to go around! Owner Rob offers great service!,

Great atmosphere, awesome food, friendly staff.

Super cool vibes at this place, we had great service from Heather on a Friday night. She was kind and attentive, the food was delish and her recommendation for the queso and chips and the extreme fries were amazing. We will for sure be back

Vegetarian options: 3/4 of the menu has a vegan option. 100% recommend. Food

If you are interested in old music and an older crowd then is a nice place.

Probably my favourite spot downtown. The atmosphere, service, beer, and food are all top notch. The Crunchwrap is bonkers

A little too loud for me

Tasty food, good service, nice atmosphere. If Im ever in the area again, Id be sure to go back. Food

Great spot, food was great and the atmosphere was pretty cool. Worth a visit.

Best chips and queso in the galaxy

This is my favourite spot to have drinks and vegan food. The atmosphere is always amazing! Over all an amazing spot with good music.

Love this place! If you love music, great food, a fantastic selection of beers and an amazing staff .... Youll love it too!

I went into Brass Monkey after the Ice Dogs this weekend for the first time. Even though it was HNIC Saturday, one TV had curling on, the second had the 1997 live action Spawn movie on, and the last one had BBC music videos streaming. It was awesome. The place has a super cool vibe to it - I was really digging it. Will definitely go again, a great change of pace.

Didnt order any food so cant speak on that but we sat at the bar and ordered a couple drinks. The service was great as in got our drinks right away and the Bae tender came and talked to us. Had a great discussion about their menu and all the vegan options they have. Drinks were great and average priced but I would definitely like to go back and try some of their food options, even vegan (the bar tender sold their vegan cheese as tasty)

Been a good handful of times now, awesome vegan options! The place has a great vibe. Vegetarian options: Quite a few good vegan options!

Awesome spot in downtown St. Cats. Service was excellent. Great food. Music was on point.

Amazing fish Even better service

A nice rock bar . Service was mediocre and food was nothing beyond standard bar food .

Amazing place to hang out with friends!

I liked this joint! Heck of a smash burger! Very nice server, who was always attentive, and quick with the refreshments.

I wish there were negatives. I went on a date and I was terrified of my date and I asked for an angel shot from the bartender.( clueless) so flat out asked for help and he straight out ignored me!!! I had to call a friend to come get me I was to scared to leave on my own.

Best vegan wings and nachos hands down. Great selection of non alcoholic beverages and always kind staff.

Stopped in before Ice Dogs game with some friends....great atmosphere, great food, cold beer, great prices and the guy behind the bar (owner?) was FANTASTIC!! If I could give higher than 5 stars I would!! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend

Vegan options and a HUGE selection of non alcoholic beers! Love this place!

Best bar downtown for a fun, chill night. Whether youre a local or visiting for an event, ya gotta check out Brass Monkey! Plus, the nachos? Best in Niagara! Food

Amazing vibe, amazing staff. Daily specials as well as themed nights. Always some obscure B-movie playing at the bar, keeps you and your companions entertained. 10/10 one of the best spots in the area.

Best smash burger ever! Huge portions and great staff

Sadly, I have had chicken fingers all over Niagara but the ones here were prolly the worst. Chewy, grisly bits all through each strip. I couldnt force them down! The fries were perfectly done and tasty!Atmosphere n service were great!

Amazing dry Cajun wings!

Had the vegan wings and vegan chicken burger and they were both delicious. Great service. Vegetarian options: Good options, good taste Dietary restrictions: Had lots of vegan options

Great Service!!! Enjoyed the Brass Monkey cocktail and Buffalo cauliflower.

This place just feels right. Great group of people, great clientele, really comfortable cool atmosphere. It just hits right.

The best!

Beautiful place. Everything is very reasonably priced! Tip your bartender!

Great food, service, atmosphere. Couldnt ask for more.

Great spot. Lots of interesting beer and cocktail options. Great staff makes you feel welcome.

Easily one of the best spots on St. Paul street. Friendly staff, great food, great music and soooo much to look at from the candy bar to all the incredible rock and roll memorabilia on the walls! Would always recommend!

Fantastic, locally owned, bar! Friendly staff, great food, great beer selection. Ill definitely visit again

St. Catharines hidden gem.

Proper bar experience with great food and beer!

Great place. Friendly people. Great food.

Party of 4. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Hamburgers and fish and chips. All great.

Absolutely a five star restaurant. The food was top notch and ample portion size and the service is excellent and very personable. We were there on a Saturday night and the place really filled out by nine, with a very fun, upbeat vibe. The decor is eclectic and the atmosphere great. Order the smash burger, excellent. We will return.

Awesome food and atmosphere. Have to tryCrispy club and fries. Drinks are plentiful. Brass monkey cocktail and crazy uncle hard root beer. Great selection of Non alcohol beer. 5? Star quality. Little pricey !!! Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options Wheelchair accessibility: Good

One of the best spots downtown. Fantastic staff, such a good vibe. Good drinks, great nonalcoholic options, great vegan options. Always good food and good music.

Great vegan wings, Buffalo sauce was

BEST vibe in town, great staff, food and drinks - always a great time

We tried this place for the first time over the long weekend. Loved the atmosphere! Drinks and food were excellent. Amazing selection of sweet and salty snacks too!

The owner was friendly, great service, cool pub

Great music, cool atmosphere and amazing food!

Not a fancy place, but perfect place to eat, drink a bear, watch a baseball game, and enjoy the music. Parking: finding a parking was not the best part.

Fantastic atmosphere, great staff, solid food & an inclusive environment. Certainly felt like a 2SLGBTQIA+ safespace.

Awesome dinner! Was blown away by how good the fish was

My favorite spot in the Region. Great atmosphere, great food, great drinks and the best staff. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Best nachos in town hands down.

Food

Brass Monkey is the first bar/restaurant in a long time to cater to people from the Alternative/Rock n Roll music scene. The atmosphere and music is great. The food is excellent and Rob and his staff are like family to me. I love them all. Its a fantastic place to hang out.

Great new local pub. Fantastic atmosphere and beer selection. This place will be my new go to and will be around for a while. Congratulations!

Amazing experience. Will definitely be back. Love the something for everyone menu and the service was exceptional. Food was sooooo good, need to come back so we can try more. So happy we found this place!

Discovered Brass Monkey during a recent vacation, its a very cool place with great vibes and awesome vegan options!! I had the Xtreme fries with a Chickn Sando, and the rest of my group had nachos we all ate our meals too fast to snap any photos of them. Wish I lived in the area so I could come again soon and try more of the menu. Dietary restrictions: Vegan options

Pretty cozy atmosphere before about 10-11pm. Food was good; bar food. We had the chicken fingers and wings. French fries hit the SPOT after a couple of beers, and the selection for beer was diverse. Around 5 or 6 beers on tap; 3 of them local. You wouldnt think it, but the PB&J wings are worth the try if you have a sweet tooth; dessert wings. Staff was fanstastic. They seemed to be there to have a good time and to make sure youre here to enjoy yourself. Bathrooms are all unisex with individually locked stalls and soap that dispenses at the sinks with paper towels to dry your hands. Solid 7/7

The food is fun and delicious. Pub fare and comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. My friends from out of town pick it when they visit which suits me just fine. Vegetarian options: A good variety of fun and tasty vegan options. I tend to get the vegan wings, lately with the Korean BBQ sauce.

Excellent place for a drink. Next time Im trying their food!

Excellent establishment. Great selection and staff.

We had the fish and chips . Fantastic!!! We came from Toronto to the doobie concert had supper at this restaurant Everything was great !!!! Great service Atmosphere and Food !!!! Love this place Definitely will return !!!!

My favorite spot for wings and a brew. (Great sauce selection) The service and atmosphere is great and the rest of the menu is delicious. I always keep an eye on their instagram as they never disappoint with tasty specials.

Do yourself a favour and get the massive fish sandwich, seriously.

Great bar , great selection of beers

Went to this place with the boys, the guy was nice but he gave my friend a septic sub. The crunch wraps we got tasted alright if you can get by the fact that it has enough oil to shorten our lives by a few years. I mean, look at the picture. It really speaks for itself. The fries were nice though.

Waiter was nice, cant say the same about the food. Crunch wrap was drenched in oil almost slipped outta my hand.

The music, atmosphere, and food are amazing. The beer selection is diverse and very good.

Always a good time! People and atmosphere are great

Came here on a whim as the original restaurant we were going too did not record our reservation correctly. Service, portion and food here were exemplary!! Will definitely be back soon.

Went there for date night and loved it. The wings were amazing. The owner was our server and a really cool guy. Told us about some cool spots and their weekly specials as were new to the area. Cant wait to come back!

Great fries, friendly staff.

Great food and a great selection of beer

Stopped in for lunch and split the nachos with my boyfriend. Huge plate, pretty tasty, good value. Good music playing as well as a soccer game. Friendly service. Solid pub.

Upscale dive bar. Great staff, good pub food, and good vibe.

Now, Im very fussy about my burgers. I mostly cook frozen ones on the bbq at home but when I buy one out, I want it to be really good. This was, by far, the best burger Id ever had in a restaurant. Had sauteed onions, pickles, chopped lettuce chunks (not just a big leaf like most places give you), tomato slice and the bun was something like brioche, but not quite. It held together but was nice and soft and was really yummy.

My friends brother owns this bar and we went for the first time. It was awesome! Intimate setting, personal service. Nachos are homemade, amazing! The cheese sauce is soooo yummy! Wings are great with lots of sauce choices. Friend had crunch wrap, it was massive & looked delish! We will return!

I had a really awesome experience here! I ve never been but my girlfriend and I were looking for a cool place to eat and stumbled across Brass Monkey. The decor is really cool and the service is great too. Robbie was incredibly friendly, the nachos were amazing, the beer was cold and the prices were good too. 10/10 experience and I would definitely go back again. I m from Mississauga but I d be more than willing to go back to the Brass Monkey for dive bar Saturday! Thanks for the great experience Robbie :)

Loved! Great staff, great food, fun place!

Fun servers. Cool vibe. Check it not for yourselves

Awesome food...awesome staff...awesome atmosphere...

Cool atmosphere in a nostalgic location. Coleslaw, tartar sauce, fish and chips and wings were all yummy.

Had a really enjoyable pint, with some solid music and interesting movies playing in the back

Really good food and beer, the place looks awesome, the fries are just another level

Best place on the St Paul strip.

I never do reviews of places but just had to leave one for Brassmonkey. Truly one of the best bars in the region! Amazing food, really cool atmosphere, great service, and their drinks are always top notch. I find myself constantly thinking about their garlic mayo sauce and wishing they were closer so I could go more often!

Nachos were amazing! Amazing venue with a large assortment of beers!

What a great place in downtown St. Catharines! These guys not only serve up tasty food, but also provide great service! Where are the vegans out there looking for tasty options? Definitely give this place a go!

A very laidback fun environment. Every visit is fantastic and the food is awesome. Best Fish n chips Ive had in a while.

Great vibes and selection of beers. Corn dog was delicious and portion size of fish and chips was very generous.

Amazing food, awesome people- sweet vibes!

Great drinks and great food! Check it out.

Best Place in the St. Catharines Downtown Core. Atmosphere is fantastic, food is great. The best selection of NON ALCOHOLIC in the city as well. Cocktail and beer selection is wonderful. Get there for a great evening!!

Fish and Chips (2 pieces)

Cant speak for the nightlife or food but this is a great place for day beers. Really friendly and attentive staff

Been wanting to try this place out for months now after following them on IG. I was NOT disappointed. The food was fantastic, zero complaints. Homemade, hot, fresh, full of flavour and great portion sizes. So many vegetarian and vegan options that are not the typical fare. Great atmosphere and music. And the staff were super friendly. Great little place that we ll visit again, no question.

Amazing decor, music and staff. HUGE selection of crafty beers and bevvies AND they sell candy. Do I need to say more?

I liked the bar ambiance! Great service and food was good!

Awesome place for a pint of beer or a bite to eat

Great little place. Good beer selection and awesome food!

Killer Food! The Chopped Cheese Hero and Crunch Wrap are the bomb! The Classic Rock burger is awesome. The curry wings and the spicy jerk wings rule! Great staff! Awesome people!

Cool spot with a punk rock and metal feel. Service and staff are awesome and very friendly. Food is good, pub style.

Brass Monkey has excellent food, a large beer selection, and lots of vegetarian/vegan options. I think this is our new go-to restaurant.

Really good food and awesome craft beer selection. Staff was very friendly too, definitely gonna come back.

The best crab cakes Ive ever had so good I ordered another starter work your way along the high St but you have to stop here

Music is great, staff is fantastic, food is excellent

Good food, good music, and great service. Can t go wrong with a night out here.

Stopped by for a snack. Had some onion rings... They definitely hit the spot. Looked at their menu... If youre vegan and looking for a vegan friendly bar, go to the Brass Monkey .... Very friendly.. Vegetarian options: Tons of options.

Waiter was nice, cant say the same about the food. Crunch wrap was drenched in oil almost slipped outta my hand..

bad.

Really great spot, love the vibe here!

Ordered the Old School Vegan Wings. They are amazing! The flavors remind me of the wings I used to have on pizza nights back in the day. Ive tried mild and medium, and both were delicious. Vegetarian options: These vegan wings you definitely have to try

Every now and then you come across one of those places that just make you feel more welcomed and invited than others. There are many great places to have a drink and enjoy some great tunes but when the owners talk to you there is a genuine sense of community as you engage and just have a pint, laugh and enjoy some great music. The decor of rock n roll is absolutely incredible and unlike anything I have seen locally. The beers are great and they have a fantastic craft beer selection among other options. Food is good too for the type of venue it is. Highly recommended once this Covid bs is done.

Went in for take out for the first time tonight. Awesome vibe happening here. The place looked and smelled amazing. The guy that helped me was super friendly. The nachos smelled so good they didn t survive the car ride home! Burger was killer. Texas gold wings were dynamite. Definitely going back to try the rest of the menu.

I ordered dinner from here, had the classic rock burger and fries. Was great. Will order again for sure!

Great food, drinks & people.

Great atmosphere, great music, great food.

Great food, great atmosphere, fantastic staff. The perfect local.

I ve wanted to check this place out for a while and the wait was NOT disappointing. Decided to get takeout and it was one of the best meals I ve had takeout. The Burger and Fries are something everyone should try.

Food was amazing, staff very friendly and lively, laid back atmosphere!

A new downtown favourite!

Brass Monkey Local offers a working class environment. The staff and owner are friendly and professional. The stand out thing is that almost the entire menu can be made to be vegan. There is also a diverse selection of beer, which is really great for this sort of environment, as that is typically not the case. It is an all around good experience.

Great atmosphere, yummy food, and our favorite place to go to kick off the weekend. We looooove their wings. Definitely a place to support and enjoy with your family, or when you want to just sit at a great bar and wash the week away with some bevvys. Also, great for watching a soccer match. Anyway, we love it there.

Food was amazing, Sadly couldnt sit and eat because of covid. Still take out was on point.

Portion size great. Fish was really good, my son liked the fries, I thought the fries was l too hard. I found the poutine gravy too salty, the right balance needs to be found. My son ordered the chicken sandwich, he liked it but he thought it was too packed and moist. He had dismantle sandwich before eating. I would try them again.

Food is fine, but they dont update their hours on their online ordering or Google or Facebook.

Their menu is awesome and vegan friendly. So far my favourites are the Classic Rock Cheeseburger and the New York Chopped Cheese Hero.

Rob is one of the best guys you ll meet. The food is absolutely delicious... the best fish sandwiches I ve ever had. The Caesar was the best I ve had too. I was able to get a meal, and 3 drinks for 35 dollars, which is unheard of. This is the place I always want to go to!

All around great first time! VERY attentive and accommodating upon arrival. Service timing and delivery and attitude was bang on. Food and drinks were fantastic Location and atmosphere was top notch Def be back

Had dinner here for the first time last night, the cauliflower wings were out of this world, vegan buffalo chicken wrap was phenomenal, curry mayo dip amazing and my husband raved about the fish and chips. Great service as well, will definitely be back asap!

Place is amazing,owner and staff fantastic, highly recommend.

Meal and rock. Great owner. One of my favorite spots in town. Rob is a gem

Great food! Optimal selection for the non meat-eaters amongst us. The wife and I get out when we can. Love the punk rock atmosphere.

good beer selection, and great food options....very clean and family friendly

The beer selection is quite good and appeals to those who like a good craft beer. The atmosphere is great and the service there is among the best I have ever had in a pub style restaurant.

Food is great with decent portions for the price. The Hogie on the other hand is huge. Sides are charged separate. Excellent Service. Interior is amazing, there is so much to look at. Paid street and garage parking nearby. Seasonal patio available.

Real good food. Enjoyed it great service

Stopped in for dinner with the family on the way back from the falls. Cool place, with tons of music memorabilia all over the walls. Great tunes, great beer selection. Food was great! Owner was hustling and taking care of all the tables by himself. Great experience.

Great little place with old band posters on the wall.

Server was fantastic! I had the Buffalo chicken wrap, told him I couldnt have dairy and he came back with this DELICIOUS garlic veganaise (thats made in house!). The wrap alone was fantastic and the veganaise just pushed it to phenomenal. Cant wait to try more of their menu!

Amazing staff, amazing nachos.

Great spot

The vibe of this place is super cool, cosy and the food was frikken amazing! Nice beer list, great music and decor all with fantastic prices. And the service was top notch! This will definitely be one of our regular downtown haunts from now on!

Wicked pub, great selection of beers and tasty food! Staff is super friendly, we always have a positive experience.

Amazing food, amazing venue and a great successor to the ovre of the Merchant. Ill happily let Brass Monkey butter their bread. All. Day. Long.

Love this place. Do many delicious vegan variations and the staff is great

Amazing food, warm atmosphere, VERY Vegan friendly! After our original destination ended up being closed for renovations we stumbled upon this amazing spot and it might have just become our new go to for vegan food in st catherines Highly recommend the crunchwrap!

Great people, food and atmosphere

Amazing food and amazing staff! This spot slaps.

Amazing food, drinks, and music. Friendly vibe, incredible staff. This is a must go for anyone into music and a fan of bars. Cheers!

Love this place, atmosphere and service was great. The food was delicious and they had a great beer selection. Very different from the other bars downtown St. Catharines, which I love! I am very much looking forward to returning.

Great service. Super selection of beers. Food is excellent! We have to support our local businesses in these tough times. Layer up; its Canada and enjoy a beverage.

My husband and I went to the Brass Monkey Local for the first time tonight. We happen to be wandering Downtown St.Catharines and it caught our eye. Came into a cool 90s modern inspired bar. Very cool atmosphere. Myself had the brass monkey and asked the waiter what it was and he gave us the low down and I was not disappointed it was fantastic. The owner and staff were great guys to be around and had great conversation. We came for the beer but decided to try the caliuflower bites. These were amazing! Highly recommend as an appetizer for sure. We will be coming back for either take out or dine in next weekend for a main course. It came up it was my birthday and they brought me a deep fried twinkie drizzled in chocolate. As a 33 year old woman I was not going to turn this down it was very thoughtful of them and reminded me of being at a carnival and I loved every minute of it. The staff and owners are fantastic guys great conversation and had a great time getting to know them over a beer. See ya guys soon.

Great place. Friendly cozy bar with loads of band memorial. Great people on staff, great beers!

Definitely Go and eat here. Food was delicious. The service was friendly. And the atmosphere was fantastic. A+ on the music too! Everything was clean and well taken care of. The people who run this bar/restaurant really care about their space and take great pride in it and it shows.

My favorite place in the city. So friendly and just a solid place for food and drinks.

This establishment has only been open for 3 months. Service was great! Food was good!

What a great time great experience amazing food really good service heart atmosphere would recommend any time

A really good service!

Curry wings are delicious!

Sweet Vibes! Great food. Friendly Staff. Decent Price too. What else do ya want? A great addition to any Downtown. Luckily they landed in St. Catharines. Check-check-check it out.

Solid restaurant! Honestly, saw it quite a few times while downtown but never had gone on before and Im glad I did this time. The wings were amazing, fries are so crispy in the best way. They environment in here is fantastic, the punk rock theme is great, and just a really welcoming group of people as well. Will definitely be going back.

The food was AMAZING! I usually leave restaurants with a take out container but I finished every last bit here cuz it was soooo good! Really neat environment, cool decor, super sweet staff and even with covid still managed to have a great experience. I also love how you can make most menu items vegan as well! Wheelchair accessible from the street and a place Id recommend to anyone looking for a new place to try. Wanna come back and try out the drink menu next time.

Try the chopped steak ,

Delicious food. Friendly service. Great atmosphere

Great bar to grab some drinks and food! Awesome decor and friendly staff.
