The Monkey Tree Pub — Restaurant in Yellowknife

The Monkey Tree single handedly showcasing how far they've fallen in the past 3 years. That's what happened tonight.

Once in a blue moon I like coming here with friends to drink, dance, and generally try to have a good time. The servers and bartenders? Amazing. They always are. The bouncers? Barely legal and incompetent. Tonight I witnessed 2-3 bouncers hound the smoke pass gentleman/bouncer for giving out 1 ticket for more than 2 guests.

usually? It's not a problem. I have no problem lining up outside again, if the service is right.

All of these bouncers are new. If you're gonna enforce a policy on customers then train your employees to follow that policy, instead of swearing/cussing out innocent paying customers into leaving.

It wasn't just me, it was groups of people given one or two tickets to smoke and then being sent away by the 2 bouncers harassing the initial, clearly undertrained bouncer.

Absolutely pathetic service, and I won't be...

This is more of a 3.5 star place. It's look and ambiance is good, in general, but there were 4 or 5 people at the bar taking loudly and making it a less than ideal lunch spot. The food was above average and tasty and, other than the loud group, and a slightly slow-to-respond waitress, I enjoyed it. It was quite an expensive burger... maybe not by local standards, but at least twice what a quality burger would be in a less remote and larger town... this is not a criticism, just a warning. If the weather is pleasant, the outside...

first time at the MT. service, wasn't bad. she took our order brought our food and eventually over time took our payment. i feel the more discouraging part was our food. dry and under seasoned. over all it was decently clean, a bit on the loud side for my personal enjoyment.

however, with all that being said... there was a table that sat dirty the whole time ( 1 hour ). clean tables i watched get a wipe down, but the big dirty table.... stayed dirty.

first and last...
