Amid the roar of the crowd, a last-minute goal sends glasses flying and roars echoing off the walls. Monkey Lounge is alive, with regulars clapping each other on the back and shouting obscenities at the referee. It’s pure chaos — the kind of place where football isn’t just watched, it’s experienced.
Game Day Specials
On match days, you’d be smart to try their grilled burgers, which come piled high with toppings and a side of crispy fries, all for a nice price between £10-20. They do a solid selection of pints too, often featuring local brews that pair excellently with the smoky flavours coming off the grill. You can’t go wrong with a pint in one hand and a burger in the other, especially with the energy buzzing around the screen.
What Sports Are Shown
Football is the main event here, with Premier League matches drawing in the biggest crowds each weekend. Screens are strategically placed so you can catch every glorious moment no matter where you’re seated. But it’s not just football — the pub also shows rugby and other sports, catering to the diverse interests of locals more than some places do.
