Monty's Raw Bar

Located next to a marina, this popular Grove hangout is a good place for drinks and seafood. Thatch-roofed, open-walled miniature tiki huts surround a stage from which reggae and calypso bands do their damnedest to persuade the diners and drinkers to dance. Those who believe young kids and alcohol don’t mix should avoid it on Friday afternoons—when the happy hour crowd (heavy with thirsty UM kids) are eagerly slurping up strong frozen drinks. But on weekends, feel free to bring the whole family. Order a basket of fried seafood and a pitcher of beer for yourself, and send the kids off to dance to the live music.
