The Monster

(1779 Ratings)
A West Village institution

Walk in at street level to the piano bar/lounge which retains its historic charm. Don't let the vintage decor discourage you, pull up a stool and the friendly crowd and fun singers will have you hooked. For a change of pace, work your way downstairs to find drag shows and a dance floor.

Misleading........

I say misleading because, I wasnt told that there is a lower level. So I went in and all I came upon were old men or couples, so I had a drinka nd left. it was after I left and went another bar that I was told that theres a lower level thats bumping.......If you go there make sure you check out the lower level and lemme know what its like......

Just a good time. Always!!

My friends and I go there all the time as one of our last stops of the evening. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. If you want to belt out some show tunes or dance till your feet fall off this place is for you. It doesn't matter age body type or even sex. Its a good time. Lol.
