    This is a Ptown bar you do not want to miss. They know how to make drinks here and if you want to swallow something big Monkey offers enormous concoctions. Staff are always pleasant and give the bar a neighborhood feel. There is also a nod to my hometown of Wilton Manors with a drink named after the city. For the enormous concoctions you do pay NYC prices so bring someone with an enormous wallet.

    We were blown away with how great everything was. We were expecting a dive bar, but it was very nice and modern restaurant and bar. I was skeptical of Thai food in Ptown because I grew up with great food at my family's Chinese restaurant. Food was so delicious and honestly the best Thai food I've ever had. We had the Thai Tuna Tartare, House Pad Thai, and the Thai Peanut Chicken. My dad makes a pretty good Pad Thai, but the House Pad Thai blows his out of the water. Shhh! Don't tell him! There were chunks of beef that fell apart, not the typical thinly sliced flank steak. The calamari were also super tender, not rubbery at all. Absolutely delicious and great portion sizes. The food also came out really quick, which is a sign of a great Asian restaurant. We also got Thai Tea and the double espresso martini and they were great as well. My fiancée said the espresso martini was the best he ever had, beating out our favorite spot back home. Cannot recommend this place enough!

    I have been coming to The Monkey bar for the last 6 years Johnny and David completely remodeled during covid and it is gorgeous! The martinis are the best in town and Johnny's food is superb. The crispy shrimp dumplings are my favorite and the curry is fantastic. We tried several dishes tonight and loved every one. The food is always cooked fresh to order with the best possible ingredients. This is the place to go in Ptown. The bears know this, everyone else needs to check it out.

    I have been coming to the Monkey Bar for many years now. Therefore this review is based on the many times I've been here (approx 10 times). When I come to Ptown to visit, I stay at my uncles house a few blocks from the Monkey Bar. The bar happens to be on the way to the house after sightseeing and walking around downtown/Commercial Street so you know it's our last stop, every time, all the time! And it never disappoints. This cute, small yet cozy bar welcomes you with open arms. Walk they the red doors and you will find what you need, the bar! Smiling faces taking your drink orders and food as well. A great selection from their sushi bar compliments of Jhonny Tai Bistro. Form sushi to chicken lettuce wraps, fried calamari and my favorite Crispy Thai Shrimp Rolls! Safe to say Monkey bar is a must! You might find Jhonny walking around, make sure you say hi. I got warn you though, once you step into the Monkey Bar, you might not leave until they close (meaning until you get kicked out) but no worries, you can do it all over again next day!

    You might say I'm "bananas" for the Monkey Bar! Or, more appropriately, I'm "nuts" about the place! Came here numerous times during my week in Ptown and was never disappointed. Manny the bartender is a national treasure. He got my friends and I turned on to the Peanut Butter martini that had a nut-rimmed glass. Always a friendly crowd, excellent drinks and outstanding service from the friendliest bartender in town. You'll go "ape" over The Monkey Bar! (Sorry for all the bad puns. I clearly have a problem)

    Shrimp and scallops with bamboo shoots and baby corn and stir fry egg noodle and green curry !

    Ordered the pad Thai. Was pretty mediocre. No surprise there are so many open tables.

    I wish I had a dollar for every time I was at the Wave Bar, I'd be rich! The Wave is one of the few…read moreplaces in town where there's never a cover, and always decent music playing, so I'm there alot. The space itself is great. Lots of video walls, a place to dance, and the very cool outdoor area. It's so nice on a hot summer night to get a drink, then go out on the patio and sit out there after a long day at the beach or whatever you're been up to in Ptown. But the main reason to go are for the music videos by Tom Yaz. This guy has it going on. From what I am told he has been doing playing videos for a long time, and it shows by his selection. He's just simply amazing. He knows exactly what people want to hear and plays it accordingly. Whether it's top 40, dance music, show tunes, and everything in between. Tom will play it. I'm always amazed at what he will play.. and WHERE he gets those videos from (and many of them are video remixes he's done himself.. awesome!) As someone who grew up on MTV, back when they actually played music videos, I LOVE this about the Wave. I always see videos that I have not seen in years. It's always a treat to see what will get played. I'm always amazed. Always. So what are you waiting for? It's time to go to the wave..

    Bear week was amazing VJ Tom Yaz does the best show tune Sunday anywhere. Lots of fun stuff, rare…read moregems and just the most random ridiculous things that make an amazing night.
