Laughing Monk Brewing and Gastropub is a decent spot to catch a game, but it’s not blowing anyone away. Sure, it has a solid 4.1 out of 5 from a hefty 1400 reviews, but there’s a lack of that extra something that makes you want to linger.
Location & Access
Easy to find and with plenty of parking (thankfully), Laughing Monk sits on Oakmead Parkway. It’s not exactly a nightlife hotbed, but it’s fairly accessible for locals. The interior strikes a balance between a brewery and a sports bar, with rustic touches that might charm some but feel a bit tired to others.
What Sports Are Shown
Football reigns here, especially with the NFL on Sundays. The screens are ample but not overwhelming, and there’s a solid turnout when the local team is on. Other sports make appearances, but this place doesn’t market itself as a multi-sport haven. If you’re looking to catch a soccer match or an obscure tennis tournament, you might just be out of luck.
