Step into the new 3 Monkeys, a tri-level playground of grit and glamour -- exposed brick that looks like it survived Prohibition, tin and copper ceiling tiles that wink under amber mood lighting, and a wooden bar polished by a thousand high-fives. Surrounding TVs keep every play, fight and miracle replayed in glorious surround-sass while wooden tables beg for pitchers, pretzels and conspiracy theories about the ref. Whether you're upstairs for the 3rd floor vibe, mid-level for the perfect sightline, or down in the cozy den with the best acoustics, this is New York sports bar energy: loud, a little brazen, impossibly welcoming. One particular bartender, Delaney not only brings an awesome level of energy to the bar, she saunters in like a halftime show -- a grin that's equal parts mischief and welcome. She's all quick elbows and quicker comebacks, the kind of bartender who remembers your name, your drink, and that one ridiculous story you told months ago. Her laugh is loud, her wink is devious, and she has a way of making first-timers feel like regulars by the second round. Behind the wooden bar she's choreography: expert pours, theatrical muddles, and a flourish that makes every order feel curated. Delaney's drinks are personality-packed, with her behind the bar, the place doesn't just serve drinks -- it gets its personality back. It's a place off 8th ave where fitness meets fun, and every corner feels like home--complete with friendly staff who know your name (or at least your size) and are always ready to offer a witty comeback or a perfect recommendation. Cheers! read more

Came here for a Knicks game and really enjoyed the nachos and wings they had! The nachos had a lot of toppings on them, which is much appreciated as lots of sports bars will skimp on toppings. Taking off a star because I had a weird experience with the people at the front. I'm currently recovering from an injury and I'm in a pretty obvious neck brace. I was visiting with two people who were on their way and would be arriving in about 10-15 minutes and the people at the front told me I couldn't be seated until they arrived. I understand that this is normal protocol, but I pointed out my neck brace and asked if an exception could be made because it's significantly more comfortable for me to sit down (and there was no room at the bar). They said that their manager wouldn't let them do that, and that they couldn't seat me until the rest of my party was there. There were tons of table tables available the entire time and when my friend arrived about 12 minutes later, they seated us, I totally could've sat the whole time and it wouldn't have been a problem. Not the end of the world and I probably could've pushed it harder, but it definitely was a little awkward! read more

Came Saturday morning at 1130 am and made a reservation but it probably wasn't needed. It's a bar restaurant so it's super casual. 4 of us shared the potato croquets and French toast bites appetizers. Everyone liked their meals and thought the portions were good! I had the fried egg burger, my sister had chicken and waffles which was little chicken bites and little waffle circles. It made it so easy to eat and was the ideal way to eat chicken and waffles. We also had the bbq skillet and my husband had chicken sandwich. Would definitely come here again for a quick brunch bite to eat before a Show! read more

A fun sports bar located right near the theatre district. We stopped in for brunch before seeing a matinee and had a good experience. Everyone's food options were delicious, had a great presentation, and were perfect portion sizes. read more

The Three Monkeys is a spacious sports bar and craft beer bar with more than 30 craft beers on tap. The vintage-inspired interior gives it an extra unique vibe. They serve excellent comfort food like wings, tacos, burgers, and fish & chips. I ordered the chicken wrap, which comes with grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, arugula, bacon. It was better than I expected. The Monkey Nachos are also worth trying--these crunchy nachos loaded with cheese, sour cream, guacamole are great for sharing. Overall, 4 something stars. read more

This is a review for the "SHEBA'S SPEAKEASY Comedy Club," upstairs - as opposed to the actual venue itself. However, after seeing this show - I'm not really sure how this establishment could allow this comedian keep her residency!!! I walked in on NYC Pride 2026, randomly, to watch a performers showcase. When the main comedian took stage, Sheba Mason - she followed an already off-putting night of set lists... Ones that included interacting with audience members & then harshly insulting them after with cheap low-blows. Not even in a "clever/witty, comedy show, haha, kind-of-way"... but in a "mean, hateful/spiteful, WTF??! sort-of-way". SHEBA HERSELF was the MOST CRASS - Targeting this ONE girl, making a spectacle over her being adopted & mocking her ethnic background!!! This lady went SO far as to call SECURITY on this girl, who had ONLY interjected to defend herself!!! On TOP of that & the tasteless acts, there was a $10 cover charge AND a 2 drink minimum. Do NOT WASTE your time HERE!! Unless you intend to sit in a stuffy, awkward room, NOT LAUGHING while hearing SUPER offensive & MOSTLY tone-deaf "jokes" !!!!! read more

Try the dumplings. Completely unique. Friendly staff. Very Irish pub like. Only been here for a year.

The atmosphere was amazing, beautiful Christmas decor through out the establishment. Service was great, the bartender was nice and had a really good vibe. A nice place to grab a drink and a quick bite, we got the truffle fries and salt & pepper chicken bites with the chili sauce (the sauce made the chicken bites) a tad more salt and pepper or seasoning would've been a 10/10 for me. Next time I will try the burgers because those looked bomb!! Forgot to add the beer was good. read more

The food wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. I had the fish and chips, and it was more breading than fish plus the fries were not tasty too. My fiancé had fish tacos (which he loved) and his daughter had the smashed burger with fries (she liked it as well). The service was kind of slow but it was busy when we went. The ambiance was loud but of course it goes with being a sports bar and grill place. I would recommend it to anyone who wants some bar type food if they are ever in NYC. read more

Had a blast at the three monkeys. First off, the location is on 50th & 8th Ave. THEATER DISTRICT Right out of the tunnel. My wife found an all New England Patriots bar. Granted the city parking congestion price by governor corrupt wasnt up for all those charges. However I did it. Luckily found a parking spot near the door. The place has two floors decent sized bar some tables. The bartender was good which always helps and the food was ok. I enjoyed my time there and will reopen my return read more

Came here New Year's Day at around noon. Immediately got 2 bar stools in front of a tv which was great for college football. The bartender was busy and did take a while to greet us, and I had to ask a few times for a water. But when she got to know us more, she was wonderful. She was funny and kind. She ended up doing a great job. The beers we had were nice- an awesome selection. The buffalo chicken wontons were excellent! 10/10 would order again. Downside was only 1 restroom stall for all patrons to share. We will absolutely be back. read more

Really cute bar.Decorated nicely for the holidays. Fun place to pop in for a few drinks. Drink menu had a some nice holiday cocktails

Stopped here after watching The Book of Mormon. We were seated immediately and attended to quickly. The food was great. I wanted fish tacos but was informed that they made them grilled. Our waiter asked the chef to make them battered & made it happen. The vibes were on point. Phenomenal music & had multiple football games on for football Sunday. The only reason I can't give a 5 star review is because they didn't have honey mustard to my mozzarella sticks. read more

They have reopened the three monkeys in a much nicer space. The staff is still getting used to the menu and the space, but it's really quite pretty. The manhattan I ordered was not great, but the beer I got was excellent...it's like the Three Monkeys of old in that sense. The food is Three Monkeys bar food. The second story is great, and the third story would be great to rent out for a party! read more

Great place to watch a game. Went over Thanksgiving with my son. Great clientele, good food and drink options. We will be back.

The service here is great, however, I wouldn't come here if you're looking for speciality cocktails. I feel like it's a good spot to meet friends after work etc. It wasn't overly loud and they had ample seating. read more

Fun spot with 3 floors of bars - Great Atmosphere & nice crowd! Staff is very nice & accommodating!

The Mac n cheese was perfect, the staff was attentive and friendly, and the decor was everything you ask for in a sports bar. Yelp may have made an oopsie because when I searched for a bar that plays Mets games, this place came up and unfortunately there was a Florida state football game that everyone was up in arms about, so I was not able to watch my metsies. Not their fault though. They still are phenomenal! read more

First time coming here and it was great. The name of this place already caught my attention. New York City has some interesting bars, restaurants and this one also has a comedy bar upstairs with a cover of $10. Awesome food and drinks, waitress/bartender who was working at the downstairs bar with a Scottish/Irish accent was fantastic, made for an exciting atmosphere!! Located on 54th Street between 8th Avenue & Broadway, don't expect to find great parking if you drive from out of town, but that wasn't an issue for me and a bunch of my work colleagues, our hotel was conveniently located a few blocks away. No need reservations, just come by, but it does get crowded. This recent visit, me and my colleagues came by late afternoon into the early evening. It was a party of 7, we ordered tacos, French fries and a bunch of other gastropub style food along with adult beverages. I was satisfied and definitely coming back here again, which is why it gets 5 stars from me. It's all about the food, service, and the atmosphere. Go check this place out, it's just that good! read more

Made a reservation through OpenTable for a Sunday afternoon of NFL, accepted by Three Monkeys three months in advance. On the eve of the event, I get a cancelation notice from OpenTable. No call or contact from Three Monkeys. When I called them, they simply said they don't take weekend reservations and put the blame on OpenTable. The first person I spoke with didn't even apologize, despite this being an obvious inconvenience for me. The manager then did apologize but did zero to make things better. I once experienced a similar problem with an OpenTable reservation with Henhouse Brewing in California. Their response was an apologetic email and explanation at the time of the cancelation. They even threw in a small coupon. Bottom line, they were thoughtful and professional, unlike the management of Three Monkeys. read more

Nice bar in great location - near theatre, main avenue. Food is decent and a full bar with plenty of beer selections. Enough TVs and seating to make for comfortable gathering with friends or watching sports. The service is horrible ... waited 10 minutes for bar tender to even come over to ask for order although bar had 4 people sitting there on a 10-15 seat bar. The receipt charges you for using a credit card (like places that ask you to pay employee healthcare or other silly charges) and then tries to suggest tips not on the bill, but all the fees. Just poor customer focus and too bad for a place with potential. read more

Came here specifically for the sliders and they did not disappoint. We tried a mix of beef and pulled pork sliders both were juicy and flavorful. The craft beer list is impressive (I think they have over 30 taps) and the staff was happy to give recommendations. We sat on the second floor which has a cool vibe and plenty of screens. Great spot for a casual night out in Midtown. I will definitely be back to try the wings next time. read more

This place was... interesting. The drinks are on the expensive side for what they are- even for New York. My tequila drink came in a skinny plastic thing and my sour was in a super mini snifter. The drink itself was super sweet- could've been a mocktail for all I know. Weird crowd, they had a live dj playing old Justin Bieber and other songs in that realm. Not my vibe read more

A really great hole-in-the-wall place. Came here with a friend and we both had a great time. It's unassuming from the outside but it's so nice inside. It even has 36 beers on tap! As a beer lover, this is music to my ears. Service is good. The check up constantly and they're friendly. We ordered the garlic parm fries and the garlic was a bit too over cooked, but it was fine. This is a great place to come watch a sports game or do a happy hour. Would definitely come back. read more

This is my second visit to the Three Monkeys. First visit was great I had the potato croquettes and they were fantastic. This time I opted for the salt and pepper chicken bites. OMG. Fantastic. The dipping sauce tastes like a cross between buttermilk ranch and pickle juice. Amazing. The drink are prices appropriate for the neighborhood. Claire is an absolute delight. The food can be great but without great service it falls flat. Claire is wonderfully fun and engaging. A big two thumbs up. read more

Clean and spacious, airy, great service, excellent beer selection and specialty spirit-free drinks! I brought a large group from work for drinks - I had stopped in earlier in the day to check it out and it's fresh and new and I was able to reserve space at the second floor bar. This will be our new go-to spot! Can't wait for them to open the second floor windows when the weather warms up. read more

The food was amazing. I've never had nachos that weren't soggy and these were crispy and full of flavor. The fries were great but just need a little salt. The drinks were amazing as well. A little bit on the pricey side but definitely worth it in the end. Our waiters were great and explained how there was only one bartender and that things might take longer, but that wasn't even the case as everything came out fast. The atmosphere was great as well and it felt safe and welcoming. read more

Expensive drinks but great vibes. Christmas decor was beautiful and service was great

On our last evening in NYC, I took the group on a pub crawl with started at Three Monkeys. As an Untappd Verified Venue with their own badge, I made a point to start here on a nice long walk around Hell's Kitchen. Their beer selection looked fantastic. On arrival, the doorman was collecting cover charges for a comedy show. But when I said we were just stopping in for drinks, he let us all in for free. We sat at the end of the bar; really cool vibe inside with high ceilings, lights, and a jovial crowd. I got a flight of four special beers and enjoyed them. Service was fantastic with attentive service and friendly attitudes. Prices were reasonable. We didn't stay long, but had a memorable visit. read more
