Brass Monkey - New York

This place is terrible. I would give it 0 stars if I could. As you can see from other reviews, this restaurant is a complete disaster and not worth visiting. I organized a group of 60 people to eat here twice, but both experiences were awful. The drinks were expensive and weak, but the worst part was the staff. The manager was incredibly rude and made our group, who were quiet and respectful, move to different tables for no apparent reason. The security guards seemed more interested in hanging out with their friends than ensuring the safety of customers. Stay far away from this place. The rooftop terrace is not worth it, there are much better options in the city for a good time. Hopefully, they will improve once the restaurant changes management.

Great bar with a classic atmosphere. The drink options are fairly typical.

The restaurant can feel cramped and crowded at times, but the people are friendly and the atmosphere is cool. The local drag shows and bear nights are entertaining and welcoming. The rooftop deck is gorgeous but can get busy. Drinks are on the pricier side, but overall it's a fun place to hang out and meet up with friends.

Beautiful place dachdeck is a surprise and very beautiful. the bar itself is quite large, so much space to move around. loved the service. we did not order too much food, but what we got was standard as expected.

I liked everything about this place but people need to stop praising the food. Its regular bar food that tasted like McDonald's. The buffalo sauce tastes like chemicals but I dont blame brass monkey because thats how they buy it.I had cooks who know how to fix the sauce and make it their own with a few simple ingredients already found in every kitchen.Anyways everything else is great. The food is definitely good if youre five margaritas deep or havent ate in more than 16hrs. I had the cheeseburger and it was cheesy and fresh. Lettuce and tomato would of put it in another level.Anyways yea just regular bar food.Im pretty sure this bar is only known for their atmosphere and drinks not their food so consider this a five star review.I just dont like that I was mislead from other reviews bout the food but thats not brass monkeys fault so im shining the light on a true unbiased opinion.Their drinks, she had two watermelon slushies and I dont think they were strong or balanced instead were light but that's expected from bars in this area. A slushy and a shot would do the trick to make this 15$ drink worth it but then it would probably turn into a 23$ drinkThe brass monkey light beer is really good. I really liked that beer. If you like modelo, corona or budlight you will like this beer alot and Im certainly coming back for it.I didnt stay long enough for the dj but being a big bar with a strong reputation I didnt expect them to be on a budget for djs. Covid did hurt many businesses so thats a whatever point, I just noticed that but thats just me. I also noticed that long time employees havent moved up. Theres a guy with 7+ yrs doing the samething on the floor which makes me wonder if the mgmt is biased, I just feel bad for them.Anyways Brass monkey will be a good option to impress anyone from out of town, other nyers will understand my review after coming here.
