OK, so I forgot about the Drunken Monkey Cantina but Day 1 kinda ran into Day 2 and that is where I ended up after midnight when I left Old Chicago. And after midnight in Fort Collins is when things really start to get going! The Drunken Monkey was crowded when I first went in so I grabbed a beer and headed for the patio which faces the streetand sidewalk. And that night, everyone was out, from the cool college kids to the goth kids and vampires walking along in their long black coats and fake fangs. There was also the more upscale crowd looking for a place to have a martini or just enjoy the nice evening. I love this town, people are out at all hours and there seems to be a happiness in their step.
Not too much to say about the Drunken Monkey other than it's a fun place to party. With it's tropical theme and swings for barstools. Yes I said swings for barstools!
Also, if you get a little dizzy singing back and forth after chugging down a few cold ones, there are a couple of pool tables. The bartenders there were cool and the wait staff were just great.
While in Fort Collins and your doing the pub crawl, make the Drunken Monkey Cantina one of your stops! It's not hard to find, it's right next door to Old Chicago.
The Moot House Restaurant and Pub, located at 2626 S. College in Fort Collins is one of my favorite places for steak!
Designed in the classic Tudor-style English pub with 3 fireplaces inside. At least that's what I counted. I was fortunate to be able to talk to Paul Schickler, Managing Partner at The Moot House and he gave me a tour. I had only eaten there in the pub and didn't realize at the time how big the restaurant really is.
The Moot House opened their doors in 1972 with the original owners selling to the current owners in 1998. They are considered one of the longest continuously run restaurant/pubs to operate in the same location in Northern Colorado. It is most popular with the business community.
The Moot House means Gathering Place and as I walked around the many rooms, I realized, alot of people can gather here. These Public places, which was shortened to Pub served most of their drinks in pewter which is on display in the waiting area.
The Moot House has a number of rooms in the restaurant.
This is the the Polo Room which is used for larger meetings were an audio/visual area is needed and can seat up to 40 people. Lots of room and a beautiful fireplace.
This is the Garden Room (top) and Hunt Room (bottom). These rooms are used for less formal business events and more for regular dining and family events. When combined, these rooms can seat up to 56 people.
The food here is fantastic! My favorite? The Guinness Ribeye, a great steak topped with Guinness glazed onion sticks. Their menu is full of great entrees so there is something for everyone. Make sure that while you are there you try their Public House Punch, a mixture of white rum, sour mix, Sprite and peach brandy. Enjoy!
