Ugly Monkey   

If you're looking for a crazy time downtown, the Ugly Monkey is pretty sure to fulfill your wishes. The bar, now next to the Slippery Noodle, has lots of opportunities for getting wild. Spin the Shot Wheel and down whichever of the 45 different shots it lands on. Get moving with DJ Kevin Mixxx every Friday and Saturday in the back room, and be sure to stop by to meet the infamous bartender Scrappy. If you need a break, head to the front room where you'll find the Retro Lounge, which is a little more low-key, or get some fresh air outside on the giant patio with a view of Meridian. The Ugly Monkey also offers plenty of grub for the starving bargoer like wings, cheese sticks, chili fries, sandwiches, quesadillas, nachos, salads and even chili. Be sure you put in your order before 1AM, though, when the kitchen closes.
