This is a great hidden treasure lodged in the middle of Lacey. A well-kept local secret that has now been revealed! A local hip-hop showcase event invited my son to perform his latest creations collaborating with other local artists for a night of introductions, original songs, music and young talent unleashed! The atmosphere was serious though playful. Pool tables, fancy drinks, and the latest dance steps were enjoyed by all that attended. I made a couple of new friends. The guys on the stage were involved and engaged in providing an epic time rocking to the beat. These were honestly nice folks enjoying a night out at Twisted Monkey Bar and Grill. The place was quiet, at first. Staff and customers alike were welcoming and cool. The prices are very reasonable considering their upscale menu. I felt I found a new comfortable spot to hang and enjoy some time to relax. Casual is the speed. Relax and enjoy. I have put Fridays on my calendar for this good food and music. See ya there!

What a fun space! We came in and had some delicious drinks and chicken tacos with some amazing flavor. AND live music on a cool stage. The acoustics in this space are kickass. You can tell that there is care and passion out into the Twisted Monkey. Can't wait to see more events here!

As of Oct 2, still in soft opening. My experiences have been solid, with good food and unique options. Friendly staff, and they are just missing more support. Go check them out!
