We loved Brass Monkey! We told our Uber driver we were looking for a fun bar and he recommended we go here. It was a blast. Lots of (young) people, great DJ and bar service by Ladell. It was nice to get a round of (3) drinks for $30 versus one cocktail for $20-25 at other more bougie places. Lol. We spent the night singing, dancing and drinking more than we needed to. The only downside is I asked the DJ to play me some Beastie Boys Brass Monkey (not unusual right?!) instead he played No Sleep Til Brooklyn. I'll take it. We didn't have any food but I would've liked some late night snacks :) the driver also said there was another place next door that was also fun... so fyi if you want to bar hop.

We stumbled across Brass Monkey after finishing up on the high line and it was a great accident! We got the chicken caeser wrap which was so yummy! Came with a side of fries and multiple sauces. They also have a great drink deal which you get a "big and a little" (shot and a beer) for $10! It's a three story restaurant/bar that has a ton of different seating options. The very top if a rooftop bar that has covered options too! Highly highly recommend stopping by!

Great local dive bar in the Chelsea area conveniently located by the Little Islands and the High Line which I did not know. It's pretty cool. Came last night for a date and to thankfully escape the humid air of summer and it did not disappoint. The AC was bustling. It felt nice. Me and my party sat in the back end of the space, there's a second floor landing that led to a second floor bar which sadly was close. I didn't realize that there was a rooftop bar until my date mentioned it. Shocking, it would be nice if it was advertised lol. Drinks were on par, we ordered a side of French fries, mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger sliders and a cheeseburger which came with fries. The portions were huge. Bathroom was spacious. I enjoyed it.

Come here a few times. During the day and at night. The place is always packed and a long line to get in so it must be good. During the day time, we were able to go all the way up to the roof where it's an open air place. The other floor has a pretty spacious dance floor for all of your awkward drunk dancing. The vibe is pretty good although you'd think otherwise for the area. There are also other great options within walking distance. Tons of good street food options at night as well. In NYC, where you see a ton of street carts, then you know it's a good spot with lots of drunk party people. I did come to a party event during the day and there was an expensive entry fee, which I thought was worth it. Great place to just party out during the day or night.

Good vibes, decent price for the area. Got a blue moon. The cocktails were super small

This is a great bar that has a few levels! We immediately went to the rooftop which has beautiful views! They have nice lights lighting up the place and adding to the ambience! I can tell that this is a huge place a lot of 1st year out of college analysts go to because we were surrounded by them! Service: They were extremely quick with our drinks! Drinks: a great selection of drinks!

Came here for the rooftop vibes and it did not disappoint. Love that it's in the West Village/Chelsea area so it's very close to the Highline a little island for you to get some walking done before or after your time here everything was pretty basic though - your standards need to be adjusted when you're going to a rooftop place. The food is not usually going to blow you away, but you will have a great time catching up with friends, and enjoying basking in the sunlight. We did pay, something around $20 for a bucket of six seltzers though. The fries scratched the itch.

We came here after going to Chelsea piers (about a 15 minute walk). They open around 4pm on Sunday and we were seated at the rooftop terrace. The rooftop terrace had plenty of sunlight and a decent amount of tables. The rooftop terrace faces little Island. I love the chicken fingers here, they come with fries as well (around $13). I also got a brass monkey light ($8)- it was a great light beer. The nachos were average. I would recommend the chicken finger w fries. It comes with ranch and bbq sauce to dip in. The Service was great!! The server checked on our table multiple times, always making sure we had drinks. Great spot to chill with friends during the day! I have not been here at night so can't speak to it.
