Stamford Summer Bar Tour [8] Monster B's

If you live in Glenbrook, Monster B's in undoubtedly your favorite bar. Usually though the bar you can walk to ends up being your favorite bar. Is Monster B's worth going to though if you can't walk there? Defiantly worth a trip. Large outdoor deck. Live music. A beer selection deep enough to kill you even if you worked yourself halfway through... or at the very least in some regrettable hook up. (Beware lads, the crowd has it's share of cougars and I've seen them make a kill) The whole package is a big upgrade from when it was called Big B's under different management.

The most defining characteristic of Monster B's has to be their all black short bus that carts people to and from downtown. It also once delivered one of the funnier conversations ever overheard in Stamford. The bus, prowling the streets downtown, was using a bullhorn to entice patrons aboard.

Monster Bus: "Come to Monster B's"
Guy on Street: "Where's Monster B's?"
Monster Bus: "Glenbrook"
Guy on Street: "Fuck you"

One this particular night, I journeyed to Monster B's to meet the Happy Hour Club. (Don't check their schedule or you'll realize how far behind I am writing these up). If you're young and looking to meet people from the area who you aren't already dating or working with this is your best chance. The corny slogan name tags give you an instant in to talk to anybody in the place, although I've noticed a few guys working that gimmick so hard that many of the ladies are starting to get hip to it.

Monster B's ... The Monster Made Me Do It! Or my new suggested slogan, Don't let the creepy naked child mascot give you the wrong idea!

    Dude that child is clearly wearing pants! I'm glad you wrote about Monster B's- I mention them a lot but have not done an official write up- oh, screw you and your SEO.

    Anyhoo they have reggae Sundays on the deck from 5-9, which I think sounds a lot more fun than Sundays at Crabshell!
