The Chuggin' Monk — Restaurant in Arlington

Friendly staff and diverse customers. My compliments to the bartenders for being very friendly and attentive, and I think helped me discover my new “beverage of choice”. My first time here and reviewing onsite. The patrons are very diverse and I’m very pleased to see so much interaction unlike many other places. Everyone very friendly and the people-watching has been quite entertaining. There’s 4 full-size billiards tables (pay by the hour), 1 foosball, and a Golden Tee. Spacious seating. Several TVs to watch sporting events but not any one in particular as a focal point (like a huge screen). I didn’t get to try the food. My only complaint, if I had to call it that, is that the bathroom (warmest place in the building) may be a little too warm; because upon walking in it reminded me of a construction outhouse. BUT.. it was clean and has a sanitizing hand dryer so I’m good with that. I do think the mens should have more than one toilet but that’s my opinion. Overall… a “no-frills” dive but no-frills doesn’t mean it’s a bad place. It’s a good place to go to hang out, have some drinks, shoot some pool or whatever, and shoot the sh|t with a very diverse (and so far friendly) crowd. I like it. Hopefully try some stuff from the menu...

Update..

So, the response from the business is super hostile. Even more reason to give them ones star. Chill. It's a review and its opinions, so it's okay for me to be honest. It's more of a dive bar than a poolhall. My suggestion is, if you want to play pool with good regulation tables and cloth, go somewhere else.

Man, I miss Wizards. This place used to be bigger,with brass bars separating the pool table isles... great cloth on the tables and pool leagues. It was a classy pool hall in its peak years. I moved out to Texas and visited a few times throughout the years. I moved back in 2020 and took my youngest there because I've told my kids about the great times and crew that I competed with... and holy smokes. It has changed!!!! And I don't mean for the better. I'm sure it's some people's cup of tea, but Wizards and Rusty's were the places to compete. I wonder if there's any left.

We didn't stay, it's looked suss, so we...

The bartender reya was very unprofessional and inappropriate and called me babe infront of my wife! It was disgusting that she she treated me like I'm some young single guy when my wife was clearly sitting right next to me the whole time, definitely WOULD NOT RECOMMEND coming here for a date or just a drink if you're in a relationship will not be returning Edit: the owner found and attacked my wife on facebook after I posted this review. Check out his response assuming my relationship is toxic solely due to the fact that I don't enjoy having my wife disrespected especially right in front of my face. He also assumed my wife got "jealous" when I'm the one who had the issue and left this review which lead to him...
