Monkey Hill is an interesting spot with maybe a bit of an identity crisis? I haven't been in for years but I was there for a pre-dinner drink with visiting family last week (on a week night). At first it seemed more like a spot for a quick dinner with families including children in the living room area. But then a large group of bro-dudes... but wearing jackets instead of half zips took over the couches after the families left. And I know family has visited when the theater next door is open for cabaret performances. Old fashioneds and drafts were fine. Staff was efficient. Maybe you'll hit the bar in the sweet spot that works for you. read more

What a great place! The vibe is cool. Couches and nice chairs. Maybe the cleanest and nicest bathroom in the area! Quinnie is a fun bartender who is super nice and accommodating! It's a must try. read more

I went to Monkey Hill last night, and the bar was mostly occupied by a wedding after-party, along with a few other customers. During the evening, someone from the wedding party used a racial slur toward a person of color. Following this, bar staff instructed everyone who was a person of color to leave the bar. This was extremely upsetting to many of us, myself included (I am not a person of color), and several patrons confronted the staff about how the situation was handled. While Monkey Hill did eventually ask the wedding party to leave, the damage was already done. I will not be returning. Situations like this should be handled by protecting and supporting those who are discriminated against--not by reinforcing the discrimination. read more

Monkey Hill Bar - Inside the front door - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Glad I happened upon this living room-like neighborhood watering hole. I stopped in for a drink after a walk around Audubon Park. The pour was quite healthy and the pourer was super friendly. The regulars there that evening were very welcoming as well. The bar has a few TVs playing sports, news, and other programs. There's a pool table. And there are multiple comfy sofas and chairs in addition to the numerous stools. I plan on frequenting MHB going forward. See y'all there! read more

What a cozy bar! We stumbled on this place randomly one night. It was fairly empty which was fine by us. I love a dark bar for all sorts of reasons. Lol. They have a really nice wooden bar. There's a seating area that looks like a living room which was odd and great at the same time. Drinks are reasonable and I love love love that they have the electeonic machine with different games on the corner of the bar. It was obvious they get regulars from the neighborhood coming in and out which is always good to see. Great neighborhood bar. read more

I am a fan of Monkey Hill Bar, but more specifically, I am a huge fan of the crawfish they serve on Friday. It's a catered affair. Chef Brett provides the goods. Here's the deal. Chef Brett I think is based out of Gretna. He boils a boat load of crawfish and cooks a second boat load of jambalaya or pastalaya. The crawfish are killer. Very nice sized crawfish and they are seasoned beautifully. For some, I bet they fall on the spicy side. I love this. For me, these are the best crawfish in the city. Just my one vote. For jambalya, also excellent. Chef Brett also cooks a pastalaya which is good but not as good. I'm less excited by the pastalaya than the jambalaya. It's just not as good. I recommend getting their early, close to 5. The crawfish start to cool down later in the evening, and we have caught them when they are downright cold. So early is better. Here are some negative things. Monkey Hill bar is not crushing it on the service. You have to buy a ticket from the bartender then get the food. Sometimes the bartender is slow to the game, so it just bogs the system down when are just waiting around to order the crawfish. Also, if you want a refill on drinks or water, you have to go back up to the bar and begin the wait all over. Sometimes it's quick but I hate waiting around for a drink when I have hot crawfish waiting at the table. Despite the minor inconveniences that come with eating in a full on bar, the crawfish are so damn good, it's worth it. Try them out. read more

Monkey Hill is one of coolest neighborhood bars in New Orleans. First of all, it's big. There's probably a half dozen couches, a few lounge chairs and just a great place to unwind after a long day. Thursday steak night is my favorite. read more

Monkey Hill Bar - Steak night every Thursday $20 - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The bartender (Hannah) added drinks to my tab that I did not get. Not only would she not take the extra drinks off, but she added a 25% tip to the check despite that fact that I had already tipped her. I was unaware of the illegal additional tip she added until I checked my credit card statement. Extremely poor customer service and unprofessional bartenders. I will never be returning to this bar and I highly recommend avoiding this bar as well. read more

This bar certainly used to be a four or five but has suffered some setbacks over the years. As a life long preppy fellow I appreciate the generally more dressed up nature of the crowd here but unfortunately too many poorly dressed, hipster type, and non-preppy folk have taken to crowding this bar over the last few years. It has seemed to be making a comeback lately and I do hope those that don't like preppy folk and don't understand that our "dressing up" is just what we wear everyday for work AND fun so they will probably be much happier at our great dive bars with their sloppy unprofessional looks. It is a great thing to be sloppy and go to a dive bar sometimes but it is also great to have a place you can go in your work clothes... well actually I go all preppy all over the place and I really like wearing a suit in Snake n' Jakes!!! Overall Monkey Hill is a very comfortable bar and they do some good drinks with good service. The crowd has been very variable over the last few years so it is hard to predict what you will find until you get there. read more

This place blew me away!! Lived in Nola for 8 years near by and it's always been on my list. I'll admit, we went hungry and from their social media, it appeared they had a delicious menu. Upon arriving, we found out they no longer utilize their kitchen. I'm not sure why but this place would KILL IT with a kitchen. There was almost no one in the building and it is the most adorable spot for date night, couple of friends wanting to catch up or even a spot to play pool. In December they are decorated for the holidays and you can hear the faint Christmas music playing from outside. Behind the bar there is an entertainment room where you can rent out parties. The owner was in and showed me the room himself. I will absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing ambiance or a private party. For private parties, they will assist with food. They have many tvs to display the games and offer sound for their projection screen. Lastly, the bathrooms are gorgeous. You can't find many places with nice bathrooms but Monkey Hill kept the entire place filled with historical Nola charm. I can't stress this enough.... Check out this place! read more

Monkey Hill Bar - Big Luther Kent and keyboardist - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Monkey Hill Bar has become my annual birthday destination - mainly because of the delicious bananas foster and cupcake martinis. In years past, I would come to Monkey Hill sit down with family and friends and stay for a good portion of the night. However, this year for my birthday, we were having a nice drink when about 100 college kids came in. I'm not sure if this was an official event or if a bus just came and dropped off a bunch of babies, but either way, the bartenders gave my group absolutely no warning. No "Hey there's a college party. Please close your tabs!" We just looked over and there was a swarm of college kids at the door. Also, that's a bit worrisome that my late twenties friends and I could have easily crashed that party. When we saw the group of college kids, we closed our tabs as quickly as possible and headed out the door. I've always liked Monkey Hill because it was a chill bar that wasn't flooded with college kids (been there done that at other bars), so it is disappointing that the one day I go, there was a party of that size. I hope this isn't a trend. read more

I'm still yet to come here on a night where it's busy/with people but from the two encounters I've had with this bar they've been OKAY. Both nights my friends and I were just looking to get a drink after studying so the fact that it wasn't busy and upbeat is probably a good thing. On the first night I came here, my friend got a moscow mule and I got a crafted cocktail that had gin in it. It was fruity, fresh and quite yummy! We enjoyed slouching on the couches (it was a long night of studying) and just relaxing. The second night I came here with my friends I got a dirty martini - tip: don't get one from here :/ the bartender made it twice for me and put way too much olive juice to the point where I would gag by how sour it was! Ambience and everything else is okay, there's also a pool table in the back corner! So if you're looking for a place to grab a couple of drinks and just CHILL, this is your place! read more

Especially given its somewhat distant location, Monkey Hill Bar was a welcome respite from an afternoon of long walks through the Garden District. The bar is huge with a variety of seating areas from a long bar to groups of comfortable leather couches. Drink prices are reasonable for the area and the bar provides a wide selection of choices. I don't think the drinks are particularly notable, but they are able to make a variety of drinks. It would be hard for me to comment on the crowd as we came around 5:00 on a weekday, but I would imagine this is a good location for groups due to the size and wide variety of drinks at reasonable prices. Bottom line, it's definitely a great place to stop or gather a group, but I'm not sure it's a destination bar, especially as there aren't a ton of others nearby. read more

**ALL MONKEY BUSINESS WITH THE HH DRINKS** I liked this place. It was my speed. Cool and comfortable. Bartender was friendly and efficient. We sat at the bar but I noticed there were couches nearby for lounging, if needed. I liked the lofty ceilings and it felt airy on extra-hot days. HH drinks were solid. Not sure if it's a place for craft cocktails, but it was good enough for a decent Sazerac. RECOMMEND. read more

Has it been over a year already since my last review? Well shit... let me regale you with my first adventure at Monkey Hill. So there I was walking along Magazine, before the days of Pinkberry when one could walk in peace without having to Red Rover through a line of Apple addicted hipsters, when I spotted a set of old wooden doors set right on the corner of a non-descript building. "How strange", I thought, "there appears to be a dive bar here. I wonder if I should check this place out?" It was only then I noticed a sign set up on the sidewalk. "Come watch the Saints on our 1,138 inch wide 3D HD screen! Cheap drinks and free food. Wild card, bitches!" Now this seemed an always sunny place I could get behind. So I stepped inside... It was like stepping into a different world. Had I just walked through some kind of portal? I'd expected a dive bar and there I was inside some kind of high-class martini sports lounge complete with plush couches and mood lighting. This wasn't Cheers. If anything it was Cheerleaders, considering the beautiful lineup behind the bar, and the various sports playing on multiple strategically placed TVs. "Did someone fire a portal gun while I wasn't looking? Is there cake in here?" I decided to approach the bar despite the warnings from my exhausted liver. As I walked forward, a dog came out of nowhere to greet my crotch. "Well hello there penis police. This place is dog friendly too? Where's your owner?" And that's when she appeared, as if in a Yelp review. "I'm sorry, Action Jackson here can be a bit of a snout rapist. Can I buy you a bottle of Bordeaux?" Was I dead? Had I fallen into heaven off Magazine? Would Lost end shittastically? "That would be amazing, thank you. What's your name?" "Oh, I'm ######." (Like I'm going to tell you the name of my fantasy girl... write your own!) We sat down at the bar and from there I could see happy hour lasted till 8pm on weekdays and a pool table was in the back, which my hobo-senses told me was even completely free were I to only ask for balls... preferably in a way that suggests testicles. "You haven't been here before have you?" She asked with her perfect face and completely not Twilight-like dialog. "Nope, this is my first time. What's this place called anyway?" "Monkey..." And that's when a monkey dropped down from the ceiling in a rage of masturbation and feces. "Bad monkey! Bad!" I cried out, but that didn't seem to work so finally I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and there was dice in the mirror, if anything I could say that this cab was rare but I thought "Nah forget it, yo home to Bel Air." I pulled up to a house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie "Yo homes, smell ya later." read more

Monkey Hill Bar - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Three stars for the posh-ish atmosphere and friendly service. I appreciated the extremely nice waitresses that come over to you while you're gracing the banquets looking to be... anywhere but here on a Saturday night, I'm afraid. I can't fault Monkey Hill for its crowd, but I guess there was a reason this past Saturday night was my first time here (and I lived right down the block for a year!) So. Not. My. Scene. But it's not fair to be all "Meh, I've experienced better" because Monkey Hill isn't doing anything wrong, per se. And, if you're a well-to-do college student on the make, you'll enjoy it here. It's like the Column's weekend crowd, only less yacht-club (I only saw one pop-up collar). If you're over the age of 25, though, I promise you will stick out. A group of late 30-somethings walked in and I swear an expression of fear passed over one girl's face (maybe she thought it was her parents?). Aging... it's catching, I'm afraid, lassie. In the meantime, enjoy your moment at Monkey Hill Bar, darlings. read more

Monkey Hill - Not great, but better than AT2. Like my friend Marielle said "Monkey Hill is one of those bars that you want to check out during the week, and avoid like the plague on the weekends". I have been to Monkey Hill on the weekends and weekdays and the weekdays are significantly more enjoyable. There is a large lounging are with couches and chairs which was quite comfortable on a weekday. When I went on a Saturday, this area was jam packed, and there was no possibility of carrying on a conversation. The bar has a decent beer and liquor selection. In addition, the bartender was very cool filling my water over and over when I wasn't drinking. On my last trip I pretty much ignored the other clientele, but the weekend trip was not my kind of place. In short, disregard my entire review except for the part i plagiarized, and you will know all you need to know. read more

This place is such a departure from your average New Orleans bar that I don't even know where to start. I really dig the lounging areas with the couches and what not. I also really dig the fact that my friend and I had 8 (?) drinks between us and the bill didn't break the bank at all. But I think my favorite part of the place is the ladies restroom- by far the fanciest I've seen on Magazine. (And we know I have a thing about bar bathrooms...) What I don't understand is the mix of people that were there. It was a Friday night, late-ish, and I feel like the general scene was hipster frat boys who were trying to NOT be hipster frat boys. But not "Dude lets get WASTED!" frat boys; more like "Man, I don't know where I'm going to park my yacht this weekend". Or maybe I'm just use to dive bars where everyone is in jeans and t-shirts. I'd say the average age was mid to late twenties, which was a plus, but then there were also a random amount of older people, possibly pushing their 50's, and THAT is who I noticed getting wasted. I had a good time though, and this place was great for people watching if nothing else. I do think I should probably ditch my SoCal ways next time and possibly wear heels, or at least not my flip flops, which truthfully is kind of a bummer, but definitely not out of the question. read more

Monkey Hill Bar - Props to any bar that provides these in the bathroom ;) - Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Wandered in here after doing a lot of shopping and walking on Magazine. I was surprised when I saw the inside - it's much nicer than what it looks like outside. Big couches and chairs for people to sit on, a HUGE projection screen TV, and a nice, long bar. It was mid-afternoon so the place wasn't crowded. They had a huge drink menu, which I love, with things like bananas foster and cupcake martinis. They are pricey though. They're also smoking, which for some reason didn't fit considering how classy the decor was inside. As my friend and I stayed longer time started to push up against the start of an LSU game and the crowd began to grow exponentially. Seemed to be mostly a 20-30 something professional crowd with men and women who were dressed nicer than they would have been had they only been there to watch a football game. Pros: beautiful bar, excellent drink menu Cons: smoking, expensive, the crowd on a weekend night brought me back to my 20s before I was married and still "dressed up" to go to the bar. It's not them, it's me. read more

One of the best places that I've been to thus far!!!. A friend had a b-day get together and the location clientele and atmosphere was great. A good mix of people not at all pretentious as some of the other people commented on. Even though the place was packed, service at the bar was rather quick. The lounge area is very nice. The whole place was chill and I was feelin it. Took a star off cause they apparently allow smoking in the bar and I hate when my hair smells like cigarettes the next day, other than that I will definitely have to hit this place up more ofter :D Prices were't that bad $7.50 for a grey goose & cranberry $4.50 for some dutch beer Dela something soemthing... read more

I'm loving this place. I have a feeling I'll be frequenting Monkey Hill. Relaxed atmosphere. Nice comfy couches. Well ventilated. Good craft cocktails. We went to watch the LSU game. Since it's not a "sports bar" it wasn't overly crowded. But they had a projector set up. And with the couches, it was like watching the game at home. Not all of the bartenders are created equally... Some mix a much better cocktail than others. But all were very attentive and quick to take an order, even when the bar seemed crowded/in the weeds. Great cheese plate too. read more

This bar is like a living room in the best possible way. Bartenders are super friendly, drink prices are tops, and the bathroom's actually more like a lounge. I love coming to this place to study, write, and just chill. Always meet a friendly neighbor and enjoy my time here. Only (slight) negative is that sometimes the music is too loud, but if you ask the bartender to turn it down, they will!! read more

Okay all right, this place is a little pretentious, especially by New Orleans standards, but it's a nice little option for college kiddos and others hoping to spice things up with something a little different. Monkey Hill is still very attracts a younger crowd so do bear that in mind, but since it's a more refined loungey atmosphere, everyone seems more inclined to restraining their inner frat boy or sorority girl. But there will be sporadic bursts of dancing, especially should the crowd reach a critical drunken mass. The venue itself is moderately spacious and there's a fair amount of seating for actual lounging around and chatting it up. The bartenders are all right enough, drinks are a little pricier. There's nothing too exceptional about this place and I can admit that had I actually frequented this place more than twice, I might be more inclined to give it two stars. It's not my type of crowd, so to speak, but I think it's a great getaway from the typical Magazine bars. read more

I'm new to NOLA and a friend of mine who used to live here recommended I check out Monkey Hill when I told him where I was living (just a few blocks away). So on my first Saturday night in town and without anything else to do, I decided to pop in on my own and see it for myself. Now, I don't usually go to bars by myself, but I figured what the heck. I plopped down at the bar, ordered a beer (note: bottles only, no taps), and took in the scene. What I saw: lots of good-looking people, a reasonably diverse crowd, a very nice shuffleboard table (!!!!), pool table in the back (!!), some comfy-looking leather sofas, and an intriguing menu. I chatted with a couple of other patrons and the bartender and everybody was very nice. Some random guy even bought me a beer, even after I told him accepting said beer was not a guarantee that I would go home with him. :) It was a little bit loud in there so it might not be an ideal spot for a first date -- at least not on a Saturday night. My overall feeling on this bar was that it was not a typical New Orleans bar. In fact, it felt more like a New York bar. This is not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. Just something I sensed. I'd head back to Monkey Hill again. I want to try some of the food, see if it's a bit more low-key on a weeknight, and that shuffleboard table is calling my name! read more

I'll be honest. The first couple of times I went to Monkey Hill Bar (almost a decade ago when I was an undergrad at Tulane), I hated it. Well, that's not entirely correct. I hated the fact that there was ALWAYS a cover, no matter what was happening. I'm like, "why would I pay you to come inside and pay you more to drink your booze? That's stupid." However, things have changed. First of all, Treme happened, and it was one of the very few places I was aware of that were showing it during the first season. So that was cool. Then I went to meet up with a friend for the Saints game the other day (they show it on their big projector screen) and learned that Monkey Hill has apparently been acquired by new owners (like, a long time ago), and they don't do the whole cover thing all the time anymore. So that's super awesome, and removes my major grudge against this place. Yes, it's Uptown, and therefore *really far away* from where I live. And yes, it's seemingly full of collar-popping d-bags, but really, it's more of a young professional kind of crowd than a frat boy crowd, as far as I can tell. It's a nice place, they have shuffleboard (which is AWESOME), and overall, I'd say I'm a fan. I'll probably even be back, now that I'm fairly confident they won't try to take my money in order to let me in. P.S. Oh, and there are a lot of couches. read more

Monkey Hill is one of those bars that you want to check out during the week, and avoid like the plague on the weekends. Definitely a more upscale bar, Monkey Hill is located by river road. It's a good size place with a nice bar area and a nice sitting area with sofas and chairs, where you can sit with a big group or get to know new people. My only complaint is, on the weekends, this place gets packed with college age regulars who are dressed like they are going to watch a tennis match. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I have always preferred to go during the week. Worth checking out, if you are looking for a nicer uptown experience. read more

They were playing "Candy Rain" (by Soul for Real) as I walked in, how cool is that? Seriously, any place daring enough to have random music from when I was in like 8th grade is good in my book! I went to a lot of bars while in NOLA and would have to say this one was more my style than most. At about 1am or so on a Saturday night the couches in the lounging area were available so we eventually made our way towards those, although shuffle board would've been a nice option if I didn't want to mainly relax, and if I were any good at it. It may not have been too packed, although there were like 3 bouncers out front when we approached. They made sure we didn't bring our own booze inside. I think I mainly had Abita Amber to drink, but don't completely remember (since my friend got my drink and I went to so many places it's easy to lose track). This was the end of night 1 for me while in NOLA and was a great start to my trip... read more

I like to slide in Monkey Hill fresh off the b-salts bowl. The couches here are extremely conducive toward sleeping off a heinous drug/alcohol cocktail. Example: Smoky B enters Monkey Hill 2.5 minutes after opening. He's crosseyed and drooling copiously, meaning he's in need of a nap. The friendly bartendress looks the other way as Smoky B collapses in a heap onto the leather couch, the excrement in his leotard shifting wetly. Somehow, a lightning bolt of involuntary nervous response penetrates the cumulonimbus formation of pharmaceuticals, and Smoky B rises. This is, of course, a sort of off-the-cuff approximation of what happens. Of course, I have ZERO recollection of this kind of scene, but I've been able to piece together what goes on in my blackouts from sundry police reports and urban legend. There was one time when I came here, and a very friendly older gentleman in sweatpants bought me many,many glasses of Pinot Grigio. He was a wonderful drinking buddy, and seeing as this didn't seem like the kind of bar to serve everclear, I swallowed my pride (and some bath salts smoke), and drank up with my new buddy. read more

Monkey Hill = Murray Hill Don't know how many Nola yelpers know their way around NYC but this is it. This bar is in a great location, the space is cool, the drinks are good, but the crowd is the killer. I'm not even quite sure who the crowd is here but I do certainly know that they annoy me. It's mostly young 22-30 types that are college grads but I don't really know what they are doing. Some may be professionals and some may be just drifting but they all look like they are either going to catch crocodiles or watch a croquet match. It's very bro'ed out with the guys and pretty damn jappy with the girls. If you have a frat side that needs to get unleashed or you slick back your hair and pop your collar at least once a week you might just love it here. If you don't you will likely be a bit annoyed. It is comfy though, and I like the setup with the few couches. They made a pretty damn good Bombay Sapphire martini. The only part that was different than murray hill was that there was smoking here so I just generally was annoyed. read more

This was my first trip to the Monkey Hill Bar. It had been bookmarked for several months, but never got around to trying it. We were looking for a place to watch the LSU game and there were several open parking spots on Magazine when we drove by. That alone is reason enough to stop. Big living room bar style. Lots of comfy stuffed furniture to relax into. Looks like a great place to go with a group. Recognizing that tastes in art are personal - there is some really ugly art on the walls - who picked this stuff out? Maybe it was supposed to be a caricature of bars with less kitschy art? Wide selection of beverages, lots of specials. Bartenders were fast, friendly and efficient. Didn't try any of the food, but the meals I saw coming out of the kitchen looked pretty good. Prices were average. TVs are adequate if you are sitting at the bar, but site lines and picture quality are poor if you are in most of the overstuffed furniture. At this point, I would give this bar at least 3 and maybe 4 stars. However, it quickly becomes obvious that smoking is allowed here. The ventilation system appears pretty good, but not good enough. After 45 minutes, my clothes all smelled like smoke. If the cigarette smoke wasn't annoying enough, a couple of large stogies being enjoyed at least 20 ft away were overwhelming. If you have been spoiled by air in non-smoking bars and restaurants, I don't think you will be comfortable at the Monkey Hill Bar. read more

A fun neighbourhood bar in uptown near J's place. Came in here one night, before we headed out to Frenchman St. The bartender was super nice. J ordered her usual cupcake-tini and I was unsure because it seemed like it would be super sweet. However, the bartender made a little extra and gave me the extra in a separate cup. Which was awesome. And, even though it was sweet, it was actually pretty good. And pretty! And I ended up ordering Lillet Smash and it was perfect. It was refreshing and delicious. Definitely come back when I come back to visit J. read more

I liked this bar a lot! Maybe because it was of the company I had, or perhaps the intense game of Golden Tee that was going on between us, or the unmentionable amount of beer that was consumed, I really liked it here. I do have to mention the variety of liquor and beer that is available was rather impressive too! Sure, it was completely dead on a Wednesday night, but I loved the inside of the bar, it was quiet, and service was awesome. Plus, drink prices were very reasonable. That being said, I'm happy I wasn't here with all the yuppies and sorority sisters that my fellow Yelpers have warned us about! read more
