It's not a bad place, but like everyone else said, this place is a fire hazard. I've never seen such a crowded bar in my life. They at least need more lighting in the place. Even the bouncers started to look nervous with the amount of people coming in. It's a total fire hazard. If you have asthma, claustrophobia or panic attacks, do not go here. Management needs to limit the amount of people coming in. Way too many people!

go somewhere else – overcrowded and overpriced. the bathroom was disgusting and my drink had a hair in it. WTF. it also took forever to get our drinks. but the biggest complaint of all...we ordered grey goose vodka martinis and they served some well vodka instead. it's not that i'm such a die-hard grey goose fan (i'm not) but I can surely tell the difference if you replace it with total crap. this is unacceptable. there are much better places to go than here.

rude bartenders – Went here a few weeks ago with a couple of work friends. The bartenders were rude and took forever to take our orders and then took forever to give us our drinks, and when we finally got our drinks they tasted bad. Never ever going back here. We went to another bar after we finished our first round of drinks. Waste of money, waste of time.

Great Bar & Cool Rooftop – I highly recommend Brass Monkey if you are looking for a fun bar after work or anytime. Not pretentious, plenty of seating. The upstairs bar is much more spacious and open than the downstairs. The rooftop is awesome too so go early to snag some tables! the roof is great for daytime cocktailing in the summer! the menu is yummy as well. great burgers, fries, hummos etc. I threw a 30th bday party for my best friend at Brass Monkey and it was a real hit as well.

Rude Waitresses – While the bar's decor has potential as a fun sports bar, the wait staff (specifically the females) were very rude. I was trying to have a good time and chat with my friends, but on several occasions two different waitresses were getting frustrated with the crowd and were having difficulty bringing food to another section of the bar. I was expecting a simple 'excuse me,' but instead they were making rude comments and getting very angry that the bar was crowded. I would have guessed that they would be used to... read more

VERY DISAPPOINTING – I used to hang out in the brass monkey alot a few years back but had'nt been there in a while, i had some friends visiting and i decided i would take them to grab a bite to eat and a beer, i said the brass monkey would be a great place to go becouse of its cool quiet location, OMG how wrong was i!!! It was so crowded but we managed to get a table, we ordered food and drinks, crowds grew even bigger as the evening went on, two of my friends went outside for a smoke and next i get a call from my friend tel... read more

Cool place, too crowded – Loved the place and food was pretty decent, but it got so packed that we could not move. Was there for a party and thank god we had a table. Otherwise it would have been a nightmare. However it looks great, everyone seemed to be having a good time. Music was great.
