when i first got here i thought oh cool, this place looks very chill... i was wrong the bouncer yelled to the blond chick holding the door to "hold the line"... i turn back around and was like... first off... WHAT LINE? then i look inside and see that this is not near capacity at all! so i was like ok whatever 5 people will leave and these 5 guys with me will be let in... but then i saw racial profiling quickly take place. first one guy pops his head in... the blond chick stops him and he has to wait ouside... then he pops his head in again to motion the owner and owner lets him in cuz he knows him... fine but then more people did this and continued to get in as my friends were left waiting outside, and all the blond chick could do was say to my friends "we're at capacity u know how it is... people who know the bouncer..." i'm sorry but she can't seem to count because it seemed like it was their turn to get in... it was getting really ridiculous... we had just brought in 10 girls... and apparently we couldn't get our 5 guys in... we quickly realized we were not welcomed because we didn't fit the profile of the place... collared shirt, tall, blond... i'm sorry but this is america where yes there are people of color and yes we may hang out in groups, but seriously why discriminate especially in an economy that is doing so bad... wouldn't u want your place to have as much business as possible? you never know who you are turning away until its too late. we are a bunch of successful young professionals from philly and ny and we have a ton of networks that could potentially put someone out of business if one of us had a bad experience... sorry but these days word of mouth is the most effective form of advertisement. please do not go here! i have written many good reviews on yelp so i'm not the type of person who would just yelp to rag on somebody. please take my word for it.
Cons: rude inappropriate service

Went to the Monkey Bar again over the Labor Day holiday weekend with the gentleman I am dating , even though we always enjoy our evenings out, the Monkey Bar is quite entertaining and the owners are very nice. I look forward to our next visit there. Denise
