I only changed my review because the GM called me after having a poor experience with one of the dancers.

Keep your phones to yourself. Pay in cash. It’s not a bad bar. The guests and bartenders are awesome.

the monster team should fire this bouncer on sunday night he is letting everyone in the bar doesn’t matter which id card and by me i showed him a id card he didn’t let me in the bar all those guys are much more younger then me and they all got in to the bar and i had to leave because he wanted another id when people in the bar know me for a long time monster find sumone who is can actually be a real bouncer not a fake bouncer i guess everyone has sumthing against this bouncer get rid of him asap i know alot of people have always issues with bouncers those bouncers should treat people with dignity and stop hating other people its enough of hating other people i am alot older then who was let in he is choosing who to let in and who to not to let in this has to stop at the monster nyc you need to get all the members and hire sumone who is older then 40 or 50 don’t hire young dumb stupid kids to be at the front door.

"Happy Hour" scam. Came in prior to HH ending and purchased first drink, second after. They charged me regular price for both! Scam.

Extremely rude and unprofessional Bartenders and staff when I brought scam to their attention.

They feel they are doing you a huge favor by pouring liquid into a glass and, with a scowl on their face, tossing it your way.

Also had to listen to horrible singers, and resorted to YouTube to escape.

If you're visiting NY, go to the Stonewall, Julius' (see my review) or most any other bar if you want real service and not having to put up with the staff's (and locals') arrogant attitude.

I used to go to this bar when I'm in NYC (since 2008), but now this bar is pretty "has been", sorry. He remained frozen in time, but for the wrong reasons. I'm actually quite disappointed with the Village now. Hell's Kitchen or even Williamburg is much nicer.

Very friendly service and security guards charming. Affordable prices. Nice bartenders. I really enjoyed the piano performances. Basement average but again, people are very nice and that scores.

I love monster. I have been here though the years and have never had an issue. The bartenders could use a change in attitude in general. Most of them at least. But the entertainment is on point. I loved the gogo dancers and the piano on top.
