“ Great place - had some lovely chilled drinks with friends and some not so chilled pre-night out drinks. Bar is more than the sum of its parts, great bar team who are always cheery and helpful and just a nice venue to be in. Lay off the country and western though guys ;) :D ”
“ Whatever the occasion, from a general drink to hiring the private room for functions, I always enjoy my time at Monkey Suit. The staff are friendly, polite, genuine down to earth funny people. With a variety of creative and tasty cocktails, I have always felt safe within the vicinity, on any given day of the week. Clean and spacious bar, comfy seating, and good music. It is dog friendly from opening time until early evening, the food is amazing and I highly recommend any pizza. Monkey suit can be a local hangout, date night or night out destination, with events organised and amazing local bands playing. I have held 2 events in the private rooms upstairs, and they have always been flexible with allowing you to set up, as well as clean up the room before and after your event. ”
“ Had my birthday party here and it was the best choice. The staff are super friendly and the vibes are always immaculate. 10/10 ”
“ Went here on the recommendation of a friend and i was not disappointed. Cocktails were amazing (she did however say these didn't really taste the same as when she'd last came) none the less i really enjoyed my time here. They couldn't make the tokyo iced tea due to stocking issues but offered a really nice alternative of an electric lemonade which did not disappoint. We also tried pink ladies and pina coladas which also went down well! ”
