About this business
Chuggin' Monkey is not a monkey-themed bar, but one can go crazy and have all the fun possible at this bar and nightclub. Having a two-level courtyard out, people have ample of room to escape from the crowd and relax or watch a game on the television screens available out there. Hot-looking staff, great music provided by the DJ, and drink specials are pretty good too and so is the crowd. Do drop by, well at least once.

OK for kids, I guess... – To be fair, the first Saturday of '08 was the first time I've been in a bar of any kind for many many years. As I've gotten older, I feel less need to go out, and virtually no need to drink. But on the prompting of a friend I had not seen for many years, I decided to join her and some friends for a night out here. The bar is very clean, and waitservice was prompt. The atmosphere was not to my taste in general, as the music mix was uneven, it didn't make me want to keep dancing, and the DJ was not mu... read more
Reality Check... – I've been going to see live music at Chuggin Monkey for over 3 years and have always had a great time listening to pretty good bands. The woman who is complaining about bands' compensation may not quite understand how the "business" aspect of live music works. (I used to do booking for a popular austin venue)... Bands get paid 10 percent of the ring at most 6th street bars as an incentive for the band to promote themselves. What's the point in opening a business if you are going to just give your money awa... read more
Never again – As a musician, I can sincerely say I received worse treatment in this bar than any place I have played since 1994. The owner is apparently TV's "The Bachelor" but still sees fit to pay the band no more than 10% of bar sales (think about it...if the bar makes $500 on a weeknight, the band gets to split $50 3 or more ways). I have a stomach flu and had to walk off the stage last night. I left the bar and was very upset that I had come down to fill in for another bassist, basically for free, when I was feeling so ... read more
Dude!!!! – This bar rocks the house. We got super drunk and sang with the band they were nice to us and didn't throw us out.
Editorial Review by Citysearch Editors – Sixth Street dive and live music venue serviing bottles and drafts to the college set.
solid place – Went to Chuggin Monkey this past Sunday and it was a lot of fun. The DJ was great, the beers were cheap and Courtney is te hottest bartender on 6th street, just amazing. The only downer was the door boy, some little college freshmen twirp with a huge attitude. Not sure why you would want a shed like that working for you as I also saw him fail to reel in scores of chis who scoffed at him and walked to other bars.
Chuggin Rules – This is by far one of the best bars on 6th street! The staff/owners are AWESOME. You are guaranteed to have a good time.
A Great Time! – The vibe at the Monkey can be described in one word -- FUN! Atmoshpere is relaxed and casual, but the energy is upbeat. The staff is friendly and fast. Dancing upstairs - great DJ and sometimes live music -- and a huge outdoor patio to cool off. With one of the best looking crowds in Austin - this place has it all. I highly recommend the Chuggin Monkey for anyone looking for a good time!
Best bar on 6th – I love going to the Chuggin Monkey whenever I get a chance. Everyone treats you like family there and its just a great atmosphere. I definetly recommend the Chuggin Monkey.
