Brass Monkey

Landed here after a walk in the "Meatpacking District". Super nice, they have a roof terrace for drinks and food. Great placeFood: 5/5

We didn’t eat but attended during the Urban Bear festival. I am appreciative that they had enough service staff in. I mean that’s the way to make money! Bathrooms were in good shape as well. Place was crowded but that’s the nature of the beast and adds to the fun of the event!Service: 4/5

Place is nice! Came here after work for a happy hour with friends and the place is quite big. There are multiple levels to the place with a rooftop at the very top. We sat by the windows so there was nice natural light filtering in. Drinks seemed pretty good I don't drink so I can only go by what my friends were saying. The apps on the other hand were nothing special, though the fries were pretty good probably the one ones I would recommend. Overall a fun place in Chelsea that's a stone skip away from the water which is also pretty great. Worth checking out!

Good vibes, great drinks and food. We got some apps to share to make it easy. Nachos, Sliders, Old Bay Chicken Tenders and Fries. The chicken fingers and fries were the best I ever had, and I consider myself a bit of a tender and fry connoisseur. Liked it all so much we ordered another round of food and lots of rounds of drinks.

Attended a private event that was held here. Nice casual and clean environment. Moderate drink and food choices and prices. I ordered two Jack Daniel's with cherries. Will definitely return and tell others about this place.

Casual vibrant rooftop bar. Music and beer selection very adequate. Came during trip to see sunset. Only issue was rooftop didn’t have as direct view of sunset due to tree position.Service: 5/5

I was heartbroken when I walked over to Best Burger, and saw the message on the door that they permanently closed. It also said that some of their staff is continuing to make food next door here at the Brass Monkey. I decided to go in and try to get that burger I was hoping for. They did in fact have a burger on the menu. It was really good, but it just wasn’t quite the same as that Best Burger I was craving.

This multistory bar right along the Hudson River even has a rooftop you can visit while you drink. I arrived around 9pm and found a good spot to hang out. As the night went on, it quickly grew more crowded and it was more difficult to find space. The views admittedly aren't great, with an empty lot next door. Also, there is an apartment building on the northern side with people watching from the windows. Generally not terrible but just a bit disappointing.

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$ drink The 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.

This place allows little children inside. From personal experience I am a 21 year old that got into the bar, and when I got in there the amount of kids younger were all throughout the bar. So if you’re looking to have a good night I wouldn’t come to this place. There’s plenty of better bars to go too. Also the bouncers that work outside of the bar are nasty and rude. Never coming back here
