Wanting cute, eclectic, and fun with a bar, this is your spot! I got the warmest welcome from Drew as I walked by, and he invited me in. I was quickly taken in by all the cute and funky socks, cards, cups, and other items floating around the store. As you go to the back, it opens up to a bar with wine and beer for sale and to sip. I grabbed a can of cider and was told to come back anytime.The owners made me feel at home and were so happy that I was walking around downtown. I plan to return the next time I am in the area. Would love to sit and have a drink with them! A must go to in downtown Raleigh!!!

My husband and I love The Green Monkey! We come there a couple of times a week, usually in the evening and have never felt threatened or unsafe. Parking is very convenient, there is a city parking garage practically next door! And Rusty and Drew are awesome proprietors and just a joy to know!

Recently we had our wedding reception at The Green Monkey. Downstairs they have an events space. This was perfect for our group of friends and family. It’s intimate and yet plenty of space to move around. They had high top seating and Rusty made sure our guests didn’t go thirsty.Their new location in the heart of downtown is perfect for a private party and also to just visit and have a drink. Also there are a lot of fun and unique gifts on the main floor. There is an outdoor space that’s great on a nice day for guests to also gather and enjoy some fresh air.You will always feel welcome at the monkey. It’s diverse and has a great selection of local and craft beers. They also have a unique selection of wines.Back to the party, I highly recommend using them for your next small reception/party. Go see Rusty, Drew and the crew at The Green Monkey!

Very cool, local craft bar for a chill/cozy time. Lots of good/cool knickknacks, souvenir, local product type of gifts. Definitely a good spot to grab a drink and a potential gift for people visiting. LGBTQIA+ super friendly, definitely give this spot a try

Big thanks to Rusty and Drew for allowing us to rent The Green Monkey Fellowship Hall. We successfully hosted a fiesta wedding party. The fellowship hall easily held 30 guest. Hannah kept everyone beverages topped off the entire night. The margarita’s were perfection! The sound equipment and Led color changing lights took the event to the next level. Consider the Fellowship Hall for your next event you will not be disappointed!

I can’t say enough good about the folks at the Green Monkey!They have cultivated a wonderfully inviting, inclusive environment & culture that truly embraces the entire neighborhood & community.I LOVE shopping for myself & for gifts for all occasions for friends & family at the Green Monkey. They have such fun & lovely quality items in their gift shop- their inventory is updated frequently, too, so you will always find fresh gifts that will make you proud to give to your friends & loved ones!They have a really great draft beer selection & their “take home” beer & wine inventory is also very nice.Visit the Green Monkey for a fun night out with friends!

One of the most welcoming and friendly bars in Raleigh. Rusty and Drew have done a phenomenal job and its no wonder they have had 10 successful years! This place is both family and LGBT friendly.

Rusty and Drew have moved their precious local establishment to S Wilmington Street, and it is a huge upgrade! The new space is beautiful, complete with 2-stories, professional sound system and an outside lounge. But, IYKYK, so I'm not spilling any more beans. Check it out....you will not be disappointed!
