Not a bad place!
Located across from Donovan's, this place has decent beer on tap and a fairly solid pub grub-type of menu. The sliders were solid, with the panko-crusted chicken being my favorite. The pulled pork slider tasted too much like a sparerib. The beef slider was rather ordinary.
Fries were solid. Chicken fingers were more breading than chicken, but I like that kind of ratio.
All in all, not a bad choice if you're looking for typical pub fare in Bayside.
I love this local bar! The locals come here to watch the football games. Today I am here for my St. Patricks day dinner, an annual tradition.
You have to start off with some black and tan beers from Tommy at the bar.
We always order the corned beef with cabbage and the Shepards pie. They slice the corned beef so thinly that you don't even need to use your knife! The cabbage is cooked perfectly. It is nice a soft but still has a crunchy bite to it. The dish is also served with 2 potatoes. Slap some butter on them! The Shepards pie at Monahans & Fitzgerald is the best! You NEED to order it when you come here. The chunks of beef have this gravy that is out of this world. They also put onions, carrots and peas in the mix. It's topped with mashed potato puree and baked in the oven until the top of the potatoes is toasted and crispy.
We ate our long awaited meal so fast! I'm pretty sure they serve these dishes all year long so don't wait until next St. Patricks Day to come to this establishment! Go Now!
Not a bad bar, not a great bar. Had a few drinks and met some friends. Then headed over to a table for dinner. Bartender was a little rude as we left the bar tab and wouldn't let one of my friends just pay her portion. He came running over to the table and said "here's your bar tab" and left it on our table in a huff. Take it easy pal we ain't gonna stiff ya, we only moved 6 feet away. Anyway moving on….we ordered dinner, I ordered off the octoberfest special menu. Not so good, gravy thick and tasteless, red cabbage was ok…..in retrospect I should have stuck with standard bar fare…… Lesson to be learned…. Treat customers like they are your guests…..it will pay off.

Typical Bayside bar and crowd- in our case we walked into a huge wedding party that was, for the most part, beyond wasted.
Decent music and very good bartenders. Average selection on tap.
Place is smallish overall, but everyone was more or less friendly except the one douchebag who kept waving his arm in front of my face to get the bartenders attention – he was close to getting smacked…
Prices were average.
I doubt I'd go again if given a choice- not really my kind of place.
Parking on street or muni lots.
Monahan's is an awesome bar, restaurant serving Bayside forever. Great bar food love their burgers, but if your lucky to go when they have prime rib on the menu then go for that and order one for me. After go downstairs start drinking and hopefully you might get lucky. Enjoy.
I dropped in early on a Monday afternoon with some friends because we kept smelling burgers. The food wasn't bad, but I ordered my burger medium, my friend medium well. Mine came out well done, and his came out medium well. Really tough to swallow. I had ordered the MOM burger which came with mushrooms and onions, and between the vegetables and the ketchup I ate a little more then half. Fries were good.
The crowd at that time was middle aged working class men, but Fridays are ladies night and women drink free from 12-3am. Rum and coke was $6.
I'd go back for the burgers, even though they were waaaay overdone they were still good, which is saying something.
Monohans is one of my go-to bars on Bell Boulevard. However, it was also one of my goto date night places when my boyfriend and I started dating. They have a decent menu with delish food. Their loaded potatoes are insane-roasted potatoes drenched in ranch dressing with melted cheese, bacon and scallions–yum! I've also been known to order their mac and cheese when I'm there on a weekend. It's a relaxed spot at night with decent drinks and a few beers on tap. Go to for a relaxed night with friends–also my favorite bar for Thanksgiving Eve with a cheap cover and the upstairs room for added space.
