Watched the Super Bowl here, really enjoyed the experience. The waitstaff was attentive for being pretty busy. The beer was good and priced average for NYC. The wings were mediocre, but they had a great deal. We all enjoyed the nachos the best. Overall definitely a great place to watch any sports game.

We only stopped in for a night cap. On a cold January night. Bar is cozy. Service good and we had fun. We will return. Want to experience the rooftop bar in summer.

Went there with the crew on Wednesday and Thursday and wasn’t disappointed. Awsome spot. Really good food and the bartenders are perfect. Good good people doing a great job. Thanks from local 52!!!

Found this place by accident. A Bob Ross type of accident. Highly recommend if you're in the area or visiting from somewhere else.

A very cool bar in the meat packing district with three floors, each with its own bar. Service is top-shelf and the bar has a great old-school vibe with lots of exposed beams, brass, and brick walls. Be sure and check out the rooftop bar! We showed up when they were closing but they stayed open for us since we had driven here to check out the bar. The manager Homero went over and beyond to make us feel welcome and told us about the bar's history. Be sure and try out the fish or shrimp tacos, or the cheeseburger if you're in the mood to eat some good food. The Brass Monkey is now one of our favorite bars here in NYC.

They have mice near the stairs to the kitchen, so something to consider before eating here. The bartender didn’t know what beers they had, took forever with our drinks, charged me incorrectly, and the listed phone number was wrong. We had to go back in person to fix the charge, only to be told to email instead. The email got no response, even after follow-ups. Weeks later, I finally reached someone who claimed the person handling charges was 'out of town.' It's a pretty interior but otherwise this whole experience was a mess. Never coming back.

We were looking for a relaxed rooftop vibe and found it at Brass Monkey. The drinks were solid and reasonably priced, and the rooftop service was fantastic. However, the service downstairs was a different story—my friends were served the wrong beer and got pushback when they pointed it out. We expected the bar to close at 2 AM based on their Google Business Profile, but the lights came on around 1:15 with no last call, and the staff just stared at us, clearly annoyed we hadn’t left. A little heads-up would’ve been nice—how were we supposed to know?

Walking downtown along the Hudson to start the Highline and we wanted a little fortitude before we got going (ha! Ha!) and found the Brass Monkey nestled in sweetly below the Whitney/Highline entry. What a lovely quintessential cocktail bar and such friendly service! We had the Mexican ginger and first line cocktail - and my husband followed up with a local IPA (Dog fish head!) and all drinks were tip top! What a find!! Thanks BM team :)

I've been coming here for the better part of the last 2 decades, and this remains the best - and my favorite- bar in NYC's Meatpacking Dist. Lots of space in multiple rooms, and bartenders who are almost friends to you from the time you walk in. If a handsome bald man named James is working the door, say hi, tell him Chef Mike sent you, and have a great time.

The Brass Monkey in Manhattan is a must-visit! The rooftop bar offers stunning views of the city skyline, making it the perfect spot for drinks with friends or a night out. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff is super friendly. Whether you're enjoying cocktails or just soaking in the view, this spot never disappoints. The vibe is relaxed yet energetic—ideal for anyone looking for a great time in NYC. Highly recommend checking out the rooftop!

An excellent bar with a great atmosphere and good selection of beers. Roof terrace was OK but lacking views. Personally as it was so hot I enjoyed sitting downstairs more.

Wow. The food here is so good! It's dark inside but once your eyes adjust its very warm and fun.

I popped into the Brass Monkey after walking the High Line. It's a really nice bar on the periphery of the meat packing district with a good selection on tap . I didn't eat here, so haven't rated the food.

Dive bar, decent vibes. A lot of younger crowd. Floor is a little sticky from spilled drinks.

Stella for the Bella! Great little spot we found by the high line. Looks dark from the outside, but they’ve got a great rooftop space. Service here was great too. The bartender recommended the lovely Dogfish IPA to my friend and I had a few of the Coney Island Pilsners. Played banger after banger as well.
