Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Thirsty Monkey appears to be a versatile spot, well-regarded for both intimate date nights and larger family gatherings.

We see consistent praise for their barbecue offerings, particularly the tomahawk and spare ribs, which are frequently described as perfectly cooked and flavourful.

The pork ribs, in particular, are highlighted for their tenderness.

Beyond the grilled meats, the carbonara and seafood arrabbiata also receive positive mentions, suggesting a broader appeal in their menu.

The ambiance is noted as cosy, welcoming, and romantic, making it suitable for various occasions.

However, we note a specific concern regarding drink portioning, with one review mentioning a cooler being mostly ice for its price point.

We'd recommend focusing on their signature grilled meats and main courses.

Verdict: A strong contender for group dinners or special occasions, especially if you're looking for well-executed barbecue and a pleasant atmosphere.

$10.67 for a cooler that’s 90% ice, 10% drink but not 100% full ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
