Monkey Bar

Monkey Bar

After hearing all the hype on this new midtown spot, it shot up pretty high on our "restaurant hit list". Lucky for me, my friend snagged a last minute Saturday reservation thanks to Resy alerts at Monkey Bar . 🙈🙉 I have never been to 4 Charles, so I am not sure how to accurately compare the two, but this place was definitely a vibe. With dim lighting, spacious booths, and cartoon paintings all around- this is what I picture a swanky nyc social club to feel like. 

I'm aware people are saying this spot is overhyped, but I had a great time (probably due to the atmosphere). We loved our drinks (that were coconut margaritas served in big coconuts themselves) and the bar is very generous on the size of the tequila shots! Definitely recommend this before a night out on the town with a group of friends.
