Monty’s Raw Bar

This well-known Grove hotspot is a great venue for drinks and seafood and is situated near a harbor. Miniature tiki huts with open walls and thatch roofs surround a stage where calypso and reggae bands try their damnedest to get the diners and drinkers to dance. It is best to stay away from alcohol on Friday afternoons when the happy hour crowd, which is largely comprised of thirsty University of Michigan students, is enthusiastically slurping up strong frozen beverages. However, feel free to bring the entire family on weekends. Send the youngsters off to dance to the live music while you get yourself a basket of fried seafood and a pitcher of beer.

During the stone crab season, there are additional reasons to visit the waterfront tiki restaurant Monty's, which is a Coconut Grove happy hour staple, in addition to the usual strong ice beverages. Depending on their size, stone crab claws are sold by the piece at Monty's. The scene is already beginning to take shape: the sun is setting, you are holding a rum runner, and your server has just placed a heap of stone crab claws on the table.
