  Unwelcoming bartenders
  Some of the bartenders are very rude. I'm standing in the bar holding my money - which means I want to buy a drink. They look at me and as if i was invisible; they continued yapping with each other. I asked one of the customers their names , I was ( Patrick & Rodrigo) They should not work that involves people. I left & went to another gay bar and got welcoming reception from the staff.. if Monster does not want my business, I'll take it elsewhere... as simple as that..

  NASTY RUDE BAR STAFF!!
  I have never been to a bar anywhere in the world (including the UK, Australia, Asia, America) where the bar staff have been so rude, vile and unwelcoming - avoid like the plague!! I will never go back. If I want to be treated like a piece of shit on a shoe I'll visit the Westborough Baptist Church)! Fuming and disgusted with this excuse for a gay bar! Yeauch!!

  Great Happy Hour!
  The Monster is a great place to spend happy hour. 2for1 drink specials, friendly hunky bartenders and a lively piano bar area.

  Great Evening
  I know this is going to age me, but I loved walking into a bar and recognizing all the music that was being played. It was a fun night.

  piano tunes
  I met a friend there tonight and sang tunes around the piano. It was tons of fun. I didn't like having to surrender my bottle of water as I entered though. I understand the two drink minimum but let me have my water!

  I understand why they call it The Monster. Scary group of regulars from the day it opened. Not sure they ever left. Really gross.

  I had so much fun ! but...
  I had so much fun but I didn't give 5 stars because of the attitude of the doorman because someone in the line told me the password to get it. We were a group of tourists and I think they could have been more welcoming.

  Sunday Time Travel
  Sunday afternoon happy hour at The Monster is like traveling back in time. Terrific DJs such as Lady Bunny play a variety of '70s dance favorites and it's a blast to just sip a cocktail and watch men of a certain age take over the dance floor and relive their glory days at Studio 54.

  Strong Drinks, Hot Dancers, Late Nights
  This is one of the few bars that actually stays open til 4am every night of the week (well, 3:50). They always have hot dancers downstairs (even the lesbian night hires a male dancer). Upstairs is usually more low-key with conversation around the bar and showtunes and standards around the piano. Drag performances, dance parties, disco nights, and Manster Saturdays are all highlights every week for this West Village legend.
