Just Monkeying Around Here
Monkey Farm Cafe, Old Saybrook
There are something like 1800 pages on CTMQ. I’ve done, visited, experienced, eaten, drank, etc. every single thing on every single one of those pages.
I drove by it in 2011 and excitedly snapped this picture.
Which makes this page quite unique. For I have not actually been inside the Monkey Farm Cafe in Old Saybrook and quite frankly, it’s not on my short list of to-do’s.
But, for some dumb reason, the restaurant/bar has fascinated me since I began this website in 2006. It was then, at the Connecticut River Museum in Essex, that I first heard of the place.
And I thought it was fake.

When I learned it was real, I thought it was hilarious. I have no idea if it’s any good. But I do know the story behind the name is good enough to have this page on CTMQ about it.
And there you go. A page on CTMQ about a restaurant that I’ve never been to simply because it has a funny name.
UPDATE! Some Twitter feedback is telling me I should check this place out:
