The Monkey Bar

"Martini; bacon; broccoli; spinach dip; burger; chocolate pie. Classic 1930s Midtown institution. Old-guard murals, wood-paneled room. Infatuation: 'nails the old-school NYC aesthetic.' Power crowd. Lunch Mon-Fri."

"Monkey Bar is a storied Midtown Manhattan dining destination, originally opened in 1936, known for its art-decade ambiance—think red leather booths, a jazz-age mural filled with caricatured celebs, and moody lighting. The menu offers classic Americana comfort fare like dry-aged steaks, cheeseburgers, and truffle-topped “Monkey Bread,” paired with a well-executed cocktail list and old-world polish. It balances nostalgia and energy perfectly, making it ideal for a refined yet lively night out."

"This place has completely reinvented itself. Buckeye roadhouse on steroids. Old school red leather booths with dim lit lamps. Enough space for six at a table for two. Martinis of all shapes and sizes. Steaks, meats, shellfish, and starches. Just what you need to start a big night. 8.8/10"
