On the one hand this is completely what I expected when we arrived mid-week, mid-day. I wanted a dive bar with ambiance but knew that the best dive bars only come to life at night or, in the case of Monty's, on weekends when the...bikers show up. What we found on this day was a small group of women (obviously well beyond their first drink), a grizzled guy hanging on at the end of the bar and a straight shooting, well worn bartendress who got right to the point. "What will you have?" It seems bars in this neck of the woods allow cigarettes so we took my beer and my wife's Scotch and headed outside. There we enjoyed the mismatched kitschy surroundings and tried to lure various dogs to come over for a scratch (none did). There really wasn't much going on. We decided one drink was enough. We really have to come back another time after we buy a motorcycle.More

Was told to stop in for a drink. My buddy & I stopped in for a beer. We had to catch a flight so we couldn't stay very long. Would like to come back and hang out in the courtyard longer as the place had...some real unique charm to it.More

I'm Monty the owner. We are open 7 days a week. Not what this site says. "We are not a food service establishment although we do occasional potlucks and have Chewe's Taco truck in the parking lot on most Sundays.

When I was very young I used to frequent this place often. It was called George’s. Though the name has changed the joint is still a friendly local yocal type. Lots of character and characters in this place. So if you are cruising along highway...9 and and on dew for a brake. Do stop in and enjoy this old place for story’s and cold beer or a soda for those who have no longer have the hankering for a alcohol beverage.More

Monty's is a local legend. Where else can you find a bar that has a hitching post for horses outside--which horses hitched to it ? No food--just beer--but good beer--they have Guiness on tap! Good little outdoor seating area and tiny, uber-cozy indoor area (I...think they have 6 barstools and one table inside!) Hang out with the locals. They rarely bite and are good for a story or two!More

Typical biker bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Rough and tough clientele but fun in that classic old school kind of way. Smoking is allowed outdoors, order drinks at the bar.

It's CASH ONLY, but don't worry, they've got an ATM inside for your convenience. ;) Beer was cold and "interesting" regulars. It's worth a stop if you are thirsty

Stopped here with a couple friends while camping in the area. Unfortunately we only had time to slam a couple beers before we had to get back to camp and the wives. It was a cool little place with a good atmosphere. Nice outside area...to hang out. Next time we're inthe area we will defenatly plan more time to hang out.More

This place isn't the cleanest but it does the job. You can get a beer and sit in a sunny yard- mixed crowd, lots of smoking in the yard and on the stairs.

The ambiance was great. The waitstaff...well it is a mountain village bar. We stopped in for a drink after walking through the state park. No food is served here ( well you can buy pretzels and chips) but it is a drinking establishment! We liked...it.More

Monty's is probably our favorite bar. It's a genuine dive, not some contrived hipster version of a dive bar. Saddle up and make friends with the Santa Cruz Mt locals. Sit at the fire pit outside with lawyers, members of the local biker gang, kids...in skinny jeans and enjoy the stories and comradery.More

The best thing about Monty's are the drinks and the fire pit in the backyard. They may not have live music, but the ability to strike up a conversation with complete strangers around the infamous fire pit is entertainment enough in my book. Besides that,...it's a smoker's paradise; plenty of tables out back, nice fires in the evenings & lots of sunshine in the afternoons. Monty has trained his bartenders well on how to make a good drink, so if you want something more than just a beer, I think they have the best mixed drinks in the Valley.More
