About Three Wise Monkeys Colchester

Three Wise Monkeys Colchester is a pub on High Street that runs as a bar, a barbecue restaurant and a brewery under one roof, with a live music programme threaded through the week. The kitchen turns to barbecue for its food side, and the bar covers both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for visitors stopping in for a bite at lunchtime or settling in later. Dogs are welcome, which makes the front area a natural stop for anyone walking through town with their pet. The team runs the bar and floor, and reviews keep coming back to the friendly welcome and attentive service behind the counter. A bank holiday Sunday street party has been hosted outside, giving the venue room to spill onto the street when the occasion calls for it.
