Beach Buns Burgers - Paraparaumu

Went to the Toasted Monkey to see my friend play music. Got there around 6:15 and all the outside downstairs tables were filled so we sat along the rail next to the bar. Great viewing seats! People were ultra friendly staff was too. We needed up just having a few beers and a plate of chicken nachos (sorry no pics). Nachos were a B+ a little messy with the cheese sauce but we ate them all! Great party vibe here. Loved it!

Amazingly fun vibe at this place. Upstairs has great views of Blind Pass and open Gulf views, while downstairs offers TVs for the sports enthusiasts, a full bar, and music for everyone.

If you are not a local you may opt out of going on a holiday but DON'T. You may think it will be way to crowded and hot but it is not. The service was unbelievable. Staff was continuously clearing plates, empty cups, napkins etc. It was always someone available to get more cocktails, ice, water etc. The food was good for a Sports Bar. It was elevated to casual dining level. IT WAS THE RITE CROWD NOT OVERCROWDED. They have live music and 22N rocked the house. They have a open area in front of the band for dancing. Parking can be tricky but hey we don't live in a perfect world. Catching Uber is recommended

The season is already in full swing and this place was rocking. We were coming here to see a local band and when they canceled we stayed for dinner. I'm on the beach so why not have the usual...Grouper Sandwich. It was blackened, good size and great flavor. I picked the side of black beans rice and there was plenty and had great flavor. The band was amazing and the outside bar was packed. Great place to hang out on a warm Florida night. It's pretty much a beach bar so don't wear your good clothes

Came by as the last stop on our beach crawl, from Undertow all the way to the Monkey. This is a mostly covered but open air bar/restaurant/concert venue. We've been here a couple of times before and always had a great time. There is a main area downstairs where the bands play with several tables, as well as an interior area (we've never gone in....its FL...who wants to eat/drink/hangout INSIDE? Not us. #pass. There is also an upstairs rooftop bar, which is cozy but has great views. Bartenders do a nice job keeping up with the crowds so the wait for drinks isn't long at all. Foods are tasty here as well. Def stop by if in the area!
