Hey y'all! Long time no see!

The Davidson visited Amigo's tonight, the new Mexican restaurant in the Coke building where MUG used to be. It was delicious, super friendly, and really welcoming and bright.
It's only their first day open and not many people even know about it yet, but we want to recommend it.
Go give them a try :)

Hey guys! It's been a while since we said hey :)
We were just thinking back to last year about this time. We were gearing up for a big music show, and getting ready to cook up a huge mess of collards and black eyed peas and all the good stuff for New Years Day.
One thing our staff always focused heavily on was watching out for y'all's safety on nights like this. We couldn't count the number of times we bought a plate of fries and a coke, or even got in our cars and took guests home who weren't ready for a drive yet. It was always our pleasure to enjoy good times with you safely.

Please guard each other tonight, in the spirit of MUG! If you're going out, keep an eye out for your fellows. Offer protection of yourselves and others, and don't get behind the wheel (or allow your friends to) if you aren't ready.

2016 didn't go exactly how we wish it did, but we still love you guys and we miss you. Here's to a fantastic party tonight and an even better 2017!

Monkeys Uncle Grill is closed permanently for business.

Thank you, wholeheartedly, to our staff, those who invested with us financially as well as with their time and energy and creativity, our vendors and consultants, and especially to our loyal guests, who have showed us so much love over the last couple years that we're overflowing with it.
We are PROUD of the Monkey's Uncle Grill. Our superb food led the way, along with the best craft beer selection around. Those who visited us regularly know that we served with our hearts, always striving to do better and always seeking to make you feel at home. We love being known for hosting and promoting local artists, and especially for those intimate live music shows 2-3 nights each week.
We were regularly called the "Cheers" of Griffin, and often called "Griffin's best kept secret." We won "Best Bar/Saloon" in town, twice. We took 1st in the Humane Society's Chili Cook-off, and our Smoked Meatloaf plate was nominated by you and featured in the GA Tourism Commission's publication "100 Plates Locals Love."
And perhaps most importantly, we took a front row seat in the community, supporting causes for the local school system, the Humane Society, local citizens with fundraising needs for medical costs, the Historical Society, little league sports, and various other local groups and causes. We have been told already that the giving we did through these channels is probably a factor in why we've closed. If so, we can't think of a better way to go down.

Thank you, Griffin, Spalding, Pike, Lamar, Butts, Upson, Coweta, Fayette, Henry, South Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Alabama, North Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee. We had regulars from each of those places. We love you, and you'll always have a special place in our hearts.
Thank you.
