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.

GREAT PLEASE FOR ANYONE
THE MONTER IS A GREAT BAR THAT DO NOT DISCRIMINATE ANYONE BLACK, SPANISH AND WHITE I LOVE THIS BAR BRING ME MEMORIES FROM 1980 SPECIALLY ZACHA THE GUY AT THE FRONT DOOR... LOVE
not very pretty.
the staff is very nice and the place brings back nice memories of my youth; but 3 visits within a week promised that the crowd is nothing like it was in its hayday. in 2006 it reminds me more of Nathan's 'birdcage' than the hot bar i remember. SPLASH down the street was the place for the hot guys to hang out.
it is a must go, i promise once you experience the basement you will be going back for the rush of it . what more can i say ?
Afternoon Delight
Great bar when you visit New York, very friendly faces and great drinks. The men come in all styles, if you can't find it here, forget it!
