I had my birthday here a few months ago and had a really good time. Unlike most venues in NYC, Three Monkeys does not require a minimum tab or credit card details to reserve tables. The music was great and the drinks were affordable. The bartenders were really friendly and helpful. I haven't tried their food yet, but I'll be back!
Review Source:Stopped in at around 1AM after late flight from West Coast.
Great beer selection near Times Square. The service was great, quick and attentive, no need for frills. Seemed to be standard bar fare as my wife and I did get in a bit late to the city. Otherwise would have tried something other than the fish n chips/mac n cheese bites that we had. 5 flat screen TV's playing sports...cool ambience with great interior design.
Nice find in the overpriced land of fake generic Irish bars in Midtown! Â I appreciate that they tried to add some character to the bar (funky signs and decorations) to give it a fun vibe. Â They broke the streak of Midtown bars only carrying A-B/SABMiller products with some decent craft beers. Â Would definitely come back!
Review Source:Stumbled upon this on a hot Saturday afternoon when we just needed to get out of the sun. It was almost empty at 2 p.m., but the bartender was friendly and helpful. I want to go back and visit the rooftop lounge. Because of it was off-hours, there was no  bartender up there, but I would DEFINITELY go back.
Only negative: gross bathrooms.
My parents and I came here last night for dinner & drinks before a show. Â The hostess was very polite and helpful. Â Our waitress, Missy, did a great job despite it being her first day! Â She was quick to get answers to all of our questions and gave us the perfect amount of attention. Â The food was pretty good, better than I expected for a place that's more of a bar. Â Get the potato croquets! Â Good beer selection. Â It seems like a great place for Happy Hour.
Review Source:Really, really love this place. All the food is great, and service is so quick for a bar that's already packed by 6pm. Bartenders are super courteous and treat you really well. I am especially appreciative of the fact that they have two floors with lots of room to sit and loads of tvs to watch. I am definitely behind all of the beers they have on tap. While it does get crowded, it's not as if you won't be able to find somewhere to hang out. Great bar with some great ambiance and lots of pretty people.
Review Source:I have nothing bad to say about the Three Monkeys.
I mostly come here for work happy hours, and the place tends to turn into our all-night stomping ground. There are three floors, so you are never trapped in a crowded space, including two outdoor spaces. The place has a great selection of off the beaten path beers, with options that change frequently. I think they consider themselves an "Irish pub" with all of the bartenders/waitresses being straight off the boat, but I've never once felt pressured or out of place ordering a mixed drink or wine.
Drinks are great but the food is better. I definitely recommend any of the flatbreads, the mac and cheese balls, and the chicken satay. They also have raw bar selections, so if you feel like oysters or clams, enjoy.
During the week, this is very much a "happy hour" bar, with pretty much everyone dressed in suits. On weekends, the crowd is a pretty good mix of yuppies and construction workers from the area, so a pretty good mix. Â
Also definitely recommend the weekend brunch.
A ridiculous huge bar with an outdoor patio and food. It reminded me a lot of a cruise ship, the way it was laid out. Top floor has a bar and seating, and you can order food. Chicken fingers were exactly what I expected of bar chicken fingers (service was quick as well). They have a pretty decent beer selection including Delirium. Bartender was also super nice. I hate the Theatre District, but I did like this place.
Review Source:I had fun at this place. Â Bartenders were attentive and on point. Â I only had wine so I can't vouch for their mixology skills.
I was at a private event here so I can only speak about the 3 tiny taste I got of the:
chicken quesadilla - nice amount of spicy chicken rolled in a tortilla
mac and cheese ball--that spicy dipping sauce was woo hoo! loved it
pizza- margherita  on thin crust--quite tasty.
Don't know what else they served as the hungry masses got in the way and yea I was being a wino at the bar. Â
I'm coming back with the girls to check this place out.
My friends and I participated in the Revlon Run/Walk this past Saturday and we were looking for a good brunch spot. Â We came across this spot via Yelp and again, thank you Yelp! Â The unlimited drinks for 2 hours during brunch was the start of an early celebration for Cinco de Mayo. Â The food was good, but the unlimited drinks would be the main incentive in going back there again. Â Also, when my friends and I got there (12pm), there was only 1 bartender/waitress (Tara) until 2pm. Â Tara was great and hands down, awesome bartender/waitress ... especially for manning the place by herself. Â There was one point where there were 15 ppl at the bar and including us at a table and she was on point!
We'll be heading back there again!~ Â Ask for the Pretzel shot!!
I've been here so many times and we always have a great time. Â Check in on yelp and get a free shot! The drinks, food and music are always perfect, and since its such a large place you pretty much have your choice of 4 spots to hang out at. Â The rooftop is awesome when the weather is nice
Review Source:If you want to go to a really cool laid back bar which has great ambience this is the place to go. Â It has a really large selection of draft beers. Â It's a pretty large space with a full bar on the first and second floor, plus they have an open rooftop. Â A lot of T.V's for the sports fanatics. Â It's a great place for happy hour, large groups and parties. Â I was pleasantly surprised because everyone who worked there were really nice. Â There was such a good mix of people and that is what I always look for in a bar. Â
The bartenders, are super cool and when they ask you what you want they really give you input of what is good and they are not impatient or just taking your order. I had really good time. Â They have a really good menu. Â I was there with a few of my friends we had a lot of appetizers and they were really delicious. Â This is a place that I will be going back to more often. Â Its in a great location which is really easy to get to.
We had another beer club event here and it was really nice. Â We set it up through Andrew and he was great to work with. Â Alex was our server and we kept her busy (we had 20+ people) but she did a great job.
Their beer selection is very nice, the staff couldn't be friendlier or more professional and everyone in beer club had a really nice time. Â This is a great place.
Ok, you know when you go to a bar and you have to flag a bartender like you are trying to flag down a cab on a rainy Friday evening in the Village. This doesn't happen here. The bartenders are so friendly that I actually woke up this morning and thought "Wow, they were nice." Very cool people that will chat with you and make sure that you are as happy as a clam. And! Get this, when I got there I had a strange feeling that I was there before. And then I remembered! A few months ago I got tickets to the David Letterman show and before the show the security person told us that the only bathroom was at this bar and that they were a really nice bar and would let the audience members use the bathroom.
I mean come' on!! How nice are these people!!! I would go here again just out of principle.
ALSO When you check in on Yelp you usually get a free shot. Our fabulous Irish bartender Gerard gave us a special green colored drink.
Super cool, laid back bar. If you're looking for a place to go after work or even on the weekends.
One thing i love about bars is the surprisingly good food you find and this place does not disappoint. They have a mushroom pizza that is to die for and when I say die for, i mean it. It's baked on a thin crust, almost like a parmesan crisp and topped with enough cheese and mushrooms to satisfy any persons hunger.
I would come back for the food alone, but it definitely helps that the bar is pretty cool. If you're getting table service, expect to have to hunt down your waitress and do expect to be thirsty. Stick with ordering from the bar if you can...
Yes to go to bars.
This place has a great beer selection, tasty food.
I also feel incredibly relaxed here: sweat pants, dresses, jeans, whatever you feel like wearing, The Three Monkeys owners are cool with it.
It's also three levels that have many different themes. I like it because it easy to get to, the bar is never that crowded and Lion's Head is priced right.
Solid place to meet up with friends and just have a drink. No need to be up-tight, pretentious or "try too hard" at The Three Monkeys. The bartenders and waitstaff are courteous and fast, prices are reasonable and the wings are pretty good! They also have some TVs and a very large projector so it's a good choice to watch a game here. I came this past Saturday during March Madness and got to see all the action, while hanging with friends.
The Three Monkeys would be a great "Plan B" type of place...
I won't ever turn down a bar that offers a free shot upon Yelp check-in. . . unless it's the end of the work day and the sausage-fest is about to begin.
Like most Irish-style pubs with sports playing on the TV and loud men yelling across the bar, Three Monkeys definitely caters to the crowd that could use a cold brew after a long day. My friends and I enjoyed the various hot drinks and the "make your own dog" platter, complete with every topping imaginable. (Heaven.)
I can't say that I would make a special trip here, but there is always a seat available (if not downstairs, check upstairs) and a full bar with a friendly staff.
I came here on a Friday with around 15 people.
Notable mentions:
-It was very accommodating from a space perspective
-There was a free shot from the check in deal (well liquor) through yelp/Facebook
-Music was probably an1/8 of a dial turn on the volume knob too loud
I am a fan of IPAs and they had a fair selection. I believe I had a goose island.
My one qualm was with my food order, "Nachos with Chicken." Diced chicken is not my preference to start out with and it was rather dry. Perhaps their other menu items are better. I would give it another shot.
Don't forget to check me @cheeksonfreaks on Instagram.
This is a great spot to go and watch NFL games on Sundays, as they have the NFL package, and never get super-packed, as they are located in tourist-central near the David Letterman Show, and there are no tourists around here on Sundays!
They also have a great craft beer selection. Â Plenty of HDTV's, too. Â Pricing for both beer and food is a bit high, but you are in Midtown West. Â Food isn't great, but it is standard pub grub, and it does the job when you're several pints in and at halftime during the Patriots game!
Bathrooms are large and clean.
If you stay there long enough and order a fair amount of beers, the bartender will usually buyback a couple of rounds, which is a nice gesture.
Awesome after work place.
Great selection of beers. Come here often enough they give you a list to start trying all beers on their menu. If you complete the list (not in one sitting, but through repeat visits) they'll give you a tshirt. Cool way to draw people in.
Fries are great, excellent vibe. Great thing: with Yelp check in, you get a free shot!
Chances are you're here as you wait for the Late Show with Dave Letterman. Have no fear, you're in good hands. The bar easily handles the Letterman crowd on a daily basis and is prepared to serve you with speed and efficiency.
They have a great list of draft beers and the prices are reasonable, especially considering the area. If you want to go to the bathroom before the show, make sure you go on the earlier side as the lines get long with only a limited number of many bathrooms to use.
As a tip, if you're a mobile yelper don't forget to check in here for a free shot!
Was funnelled into this place before a Letterman taping by the staff. Didn't really appreciate that, but it did seem like a nice place. Wasn't my thing -- not a casual enough spot to grab drinks with friends.
The lunch (happy hour?) specials didn't look bad at all! Might need to give it a second chance.
Here for a birthday party in the upstairs party room section, I immediately noticed that I was getting dripped on by a leaky roof (it was raining outside). Â I think the room was actually just a patio covered by a plastic tent... not the best while it's raining outside but definitely easy enough to avoid. Â
Cougars, bachelorette parties and frat boys were the most noticeable groups here but ultimately it was a good mixed crowd and everyone was dancing/chatting/having fun. Â Very friendly atmosphere. Â The waiter/waitress at the bar upstairs were great and got to everyone's order in a very reasonable time. Â Would be a great place to watch sports - as there were TVs EVERYWHERE. Â
I'm not a beer drinker so perhaps I was less enthused with the drink selection. Â Yes, I understand that they do not advertise a good wine/bubbly menu, but that's what I want to drink and they gave me no real options. Â My husband, however, was very into the beer selection... which is a great sign.
I really like coming to The Three Monkeys. So much, in fact, that I've become a regular here.
This is another Yelp find that I ended up really enjoying. It only took two visits here for the staff to remember my face/drink combo, and another two afterwards for them to greet me by name once I walked through the door.
The vibe is very relaxed and laid back. Lots of barstools available, along with several tables in the back and upstairs for those looking for a meal. There's ample standing room along the side wall as well. Plenty of TVs showing various games, and I've found if you ask nicely, the bartenders are more than happy to change to a different game to make you happy.
Aside from a great selection of beers and cocktails, the food here is pretty good too. I enjoy the variety of sliders and other options to pair with my drink.
The best part about this place, though, is the staff. I've been treated wonderfully by both Jane and Jerry, and they really make you feel welcome - which is pretty hard to come by in the Midtown/Times Square area.
Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free shot, or check in on FourSquare to see if they're running a promotion, too!
came here to catch some drinks with some friends after work. Place is pretty big, two floors, and it was pretty crowded when we got there.
they have a good selection of on tap beers, and an extensive menu on bar food.
One friend ordered the "diablo mussles" chunks of chorizo in the pot, with cilantro and tomatoes. Very  good and spicy, and an ample amount of food.
I ordered the "three monkeys nacho" which was surprisingly good - nachos are deep fried to perfection, and topped with  salsa and sour cream and accompanied with guacamole to dip.
great place to eat and drink although prices are a tad bit pricey
great find an area that is usually over priced and underwhelming! I came here on a friday after work to get some food and beer and the place was pretty crowded. We were still able to get a table though. The waitress, Alex, was great, you would have thought we were the only ones she was serving! she greeted us right when we sat down and gave us menus.
They have a great beer list! lots of options and lots of good cocktails as well. My friend got the alcoholic apple cider, which was strong and very delicious!
for food i ordered the arugala pizza and my friend got the burger. Both meals came out quick and were delicious! much better than you would expect from bar food.
I will definitely be back here when i need a bar in this area! Dont forget to check in on Yelp for free shots!
Thanks to the Yelp app and a search for "craft beer" near our current location (a little ways beyond Rockafellar Center), we came upon The Three Monkeys. I was initially a little turned off by the blow up football players outside (anticipating a sports bar) but once we walked in I was immediately a fan.
Exposed brick, tasteful holiday decor and dim yet nice lighting is what we found inside. We took seats at the bar and were immediately impressed by the beer selection. I settled on the Goose Island Christmas and my boyfriend was psyched to see they had Stone's "Drink By" on draft. Unfortunately the keg was kicked about 2 ounces after the bartender started to fill his glass -- he was bummed but they were super apologetic. He went with an Old Speckled Hen on draft instead.
We enjoyed our drinks without feeling urged to order another round. I made a visit to the ladies room and it was quite clean which was a bonus.
The 2 beers weren't cheap but by what we had experienced in NYC at that point, they were right around average. I definitely recommend, it was enough off the beaten path to avoid that tourist trap feel yet convenient enough to the sights and to the subway to head uptown.
I love how they made a reserved sign with my name on it as I got to my table. The setting upstairs was a more relaxing atmosphere without the loudness of people shouting at the TVs of the many games that were on. The bartender was very nice and understandable that I was waiting for my other parties to arrive and also love his accent.
The Malibu Bay Breeze was very delicious and not overpowering with the alcohol because I am not a drinker though. He also made me a Creamiscle drink and that's was unbelievable delicious. I had to take tiny sips so I can have it last through my meal.
The mussels in white wine weren't so fresh and tasted very fishy. The parsley fries were yummy but I hardly tasted any parsley. My friends didn't like their sliders much but the calamari with the sweet chili sauce was a big hit at our table. I will definitely come back for those yummy cocktails...hmmm!!
Great bar to grab some drinks at after work and catch a game! Three Monkeys on a Friday at 5pm is the ultimate sports bar for the 9-5pm crowd. I've seen this place fill up in the matter of 20 minutes.
They have a special for sliders on the menu and they were delicious! The drinks were a bit watered down but I've grown to expect that in large crowds.
I recommend getting here at 4:50ish on a Friday if you want a chance at a seat.
I first visited this place back in June. Â I was trying to escape the tourist traps of times square and was lucky to find this place right next to the hotel I was staying in. Â The bartender was busy and it took a few minutes to get served but after talking to the bartender and ordering I could see why it took a few minutes. Â The bartender was very knowledgeable about the many beers that were offered. Â He also was very friendly and patient while I asked numerous questions about the beers that I had never heard of.
 Each time I inquired about a different beer he would offer a sample to try before I ordered and quickly he became familiar with the types of beer I liked and would warn me if i was ordering something I may not like.  After several brews it was time to order some food.  I was very impressed by not only the offerings of food but the food itself.  The calamari was some of the best I've had but the real delight was the sweet potato puffs.
 As the night grew longer the bar emptied out for a a little bit and then picked back up around midnight.  It turns out that this is the service industry bar for the folks working around times square.  Then the night became real fun since I work in the industry and had lots in common with the remaining patrons.  Over the next few nights I returned to the bar and got to know the staff and some of the locals and brought several of the folks by that were working with me that week. Â
 The reason for the 5 star rating is that when I returned with my boss in October that same bartender was there.  As he approached a look of familiarity came over his face.  As he took our order he looked at me and said you've been here before back a few months ago.  I replied with yes and instead of taking my order returned with the beer he remembered me enjoying the most.  You don't find many bartenders these days that do that and take the time to get to know people.
Three Monkeys is a good place to start your night on Thursday.
I don't know what it's like before 7, but it's not too crowded at that point. I'd say the men outnumber women 3 to 1, but the place is full of suits...not my thing. Drink prices are average - $7 beers, $10ish cocktails.
The best part is the bartenders, who are both cute and generous, at least when it comes to lady customers!
