It was back in 1971 when the team first got together, Gids wanted to open a bar,  but the team talked him into becoming an international rock god with the rest of them instead. "he MonkeyNuts" took Crouch End by storm, when "Monkey See Monkey Do" shot straight to number 27 in charts the same year. But times change, and so, 34 years, 20 albums and 60 changes of musical direction later, the team finally listened to Gids and returned to their spiritual home to open Monkeynuts, the bar and steakhouse they had dreamed about years ago.

The kitchen doesn't monkey around with your food and offers simply cooked dishes using fresh and local ingredients. Loaded potato skins with crispy bacon and sour cream topped with spring onions, sticky beef ribs with smokey bbq sauce, and falafel and haloumi burger are some of the offerings on the extensive menu.
