The Monster
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.

Nice enough
Went here a couple of times. A lot of older men, and I mean older, that will hit on anything that comes in the front door. But they are harmless, go into the bathroom and someone will faollow you in, kind of gross and not my thing but oh well. Good drinks though.
Piano Bar
An odd mix of older men and younger men. Get it? The piano is fun, but not as fun as Marie's Crisis. A must visit to visitors to NY.
Hot
The Monster is a hot club, been going there for many years, since Laritza Dumont performed on mondays, I especially love there frozen margaritas omg to die for....

The perfect mix of club and piano bar...
I just returned from NYC this week and while there I went to a number of places, including Monster. The drinks were strong and the crowd delightful. Upstairs is a piano bar with plenty of old queens singing showtunes. Downstairs is a more hip club atmorsphere - but very HOT, both in temperature and clientele. An absolute must visit.
