Came here near open for a pre-dinner drink. (Quick note: if you don't come here at open MAKE A RESERVATION as they had a line much later in the night) As a bartender of 10 years, I always look for a good cocktail bar and they did not disappoint. From the host to the bartenders to the servers, everyone gave genuine care into making sure our experience was right. A lot of bars take your order and give you the drink. Monkey mash explains the drink just to ensure you're ordering what you actually want even if you're confident in it. They also checked in within 5 min of receiving each drink to make sure we were happy. The menu explains itself well and there's a great bit of diversity with cocktails. Ambiance is decent, there could be a little bit more on the walls I feel. But the bar gives a beautiful tropical vibe. Also, I just have to say the bell-pepper Dorito mezcal martini I had was probably one of the best cocktails I've had in years. Great job all around. read more

Great experience here at Money Mash - heard about their speakeasy but they won't tell as it is speak easy so we would need to find out next time .... And yes this place allows walk ins but it is nice to have a resy. Incredible atmosphere, good music, extremely friendly and super attentive staff. Special thanks to the bartenders for their patience with our questions, curiosities and topics about cocktails around the world, it was incredible. We had the amazing Doritos martini that is out of this world creative think a dirty martini with the glass with powdered Doritos ... insanely good ...Until next time! read more

I'm so glad I came over to Monkey Mash to try it out. There was a party ahead of us in line, so they already rang the doorbell. The lady came out to let them in, but we had to wait. It wasn't long before we were led inside too. I remember there were stairs. The menu was really neat. I loved the artistic creativity. They also have it on QR code. They have free WiFi. If you read the fine print, they say no dancing allowed. Vibes were good though. I enjoyed it more than I did Red Frog. I liked the music, which - too bad - made me want to dance a bit. Drinks were good. Service was great. Actually the server let me charge my phone using their charger somewhere near the bar. I was so thankful :') I would love to come back! read more

This is a very cool bar. One of those you have to know it's there or you miss it. Although, depending of the time and day you go, the line of people waiting outside might give it away. Thankfully we made a reservation beforehand and avoided the wait. After they checked us in, we were allowed to go in, and sat at the bar. Immediately one of the mixologists gave us cucumber infused water and the menus. They explained their drinks to us, and how all are created in house. Even the "classic" ones have their own twist. It will take you a bit to decide, the menu is fun to read and lots of choices to pick from. But once you do, you will see your mixologist really enjoy making that drink for you. Not only that but the whole presentation is also fun. They explain the drink to you, there's always some ingredient like bitters, some dust or something else to be added at the end for taste, aroma and/ or tactile sense. The mixologists make sure you like it, and are very happy when you do, but will make something else if you don't. And they respect the drinks so much that when I stepped away for a minute, when I got back, my drink was placed in a fridge, and taken out again as soon as I got back. Keeping the drink cold and avoiding the ice to water it down. So much attention to detail. Absolutely loved Monkey Mash and definitely a place I would go back to and recommend. read more

Came here based on all the great reviews. Overall we thought it was okay. Cocktails are inventive but missed the mark on taste (one of those looks great but not that tasty). The decor inside is fun though. Very busy for a Tuesday night. My friend got the money mash and I got the Jasmine and pear. My drink came with this Greek yogurt powder where I'm supposed to lick it as I drink ? It was strange and didn't add to the taste of the drink. I've been to a ton of speakeasys before and they had way better drinks. read more

Fun cocktail bar that we went to! I was pregnant when I went so had to get mocktails and the wait staff was so kind enough to explain the different options I had. I really want to go back when I am not pregnant so I can try some of their cocktails because everything sounded so fun and interesting. We went on a night where they has special mixologist come and do some special cocktails which was so fun! read more

Cocktails were Amazing! And the apps were also delicious! Honestly, best fish taco I've ever had which considering I grew up in California is saying something. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were the best! So friendly and knowledgeable. I will recommend Monkey Mash to all my friends for sure. read more

LOVED this spot! My boyfriend and I love checking out higher end cocktail bars/speakeasys and the use of their ingredients always peaks our interest. Monkey mash did not disappoint! They presented a very eclectic drink menu and there was something to appeal to everyone. I also appreciated that each time they brought our drink over, they explained what it was and the server was so attentive and engaging with us during our time. He made great recommendations and seemed very knowledgeable based on your preferences if you weren't sure which drink to get. We got several drinks which I sadly did not take pictures of but we also got the calamari tempura and it was delicious! Lightly battered and not over friend, the calamari was so tender and not stringy! The dots of aioli also completed and did not over power. The bar and indoor area is very clean and the building is fairly easy to find! We did make a reservation on a Thursday night just in case and while it was not busy at all, I would recommend doing so as I saw several couples/groups walking in. read more

We were pleasantly tricked into coming here as we were searching for the elusive speakeasy called the Red Frog. I made a comment as we descended the stairs that it was quite a speakeasy for Red Frog to be advertising a completely different name in the front. The hostess heard and kindly said "you're indeed at Monkey Mash and not Red Frog!" There were no more reservations to enter Red Frog by the time we came. We decided to stay here anyways as the ambiance was warm, the seats were comfortable and the drinks seemed really unique. We each tried 3 different cocktails as pictured and they were all very delightful! I would highly recommend coming here or stumbling upon here unexpectedly on a way to a still elusive speakeasy. read more

What a great spot! Great craft drinks with excellent ambiance and music! Louanna was our server and made us feel welcomed and Blessed. Definitely will remember for years to come! read more

The first thing I should say is that I generally don't order from the menu as would prefer to give the bartender free-reign to demonstrate their art. With the menu here certainly in line with the name of the venue, if you came for alternative tropical cocktail you'd likely enjoy. However as I'm objectively anti passion juice or peanut butter these would not be generally to my taste. As always I ordered my first drink to be, 'The taste of a dead Victorian greenhouse', what was received had notes of earth, green olive, lemon and was pretty alcohol forward. Now at this point the bartender had no idea of my tastes other than my description so a pretty good start Over the course of the next two evenings we worked from riffs in Bourbon witha Banana end note, sazarac with Japanese whisky, to Martini with Absinthe and bitters, Naked and Famous, Last Word, Garibaldi, Morning-glory Fizz... Each fantastic in its own right, with Leandro consistently demonstrating his amazing skills in looking after my drinks. I heartily recommend. The rest of 'The Monkey's', please excuse spellings, Ricardo, Lucas, Sara, Egal and Sabnam were each attentive, witty, personable and on point. Next time I'll have to book to try out 'The Red Frog' too. Heartedly recommended, do take a risk and let your bartender take you on a journey. Note: To the one review on 'batch cocktails', there is absolutely nothing wrong with preparing a batch of some cocktails to speed up service where suitable. Having seen a batch or two prepared while there, I can attest to the supreme care taken, these are definitely not bought in. read more

Loved the ambiance here and the drinks were fantastic, I loooved the milk punch!! They use all of the materials that would go to waste from one drink on another so everything is incorporated which is nice. We went to the red frog after but it was much less fun atmosphere wise and I was really thinking about that milk punch so we came back to Monkey Mash. read more

This absolutely amazing cocktail bar, which is a sister bar to Red Frog, focuses on "New World" spirits such as rum and tequila. The cocktails are incredibly inventive and complex. Most seemed to be accompanied by a topper that when eaten with a sip of the cocktail added a new flavor. A couple were unusual such as the homemade peach leather, and I kid you not, mealworms. The mealworms were tasty with a nutty flavor. If you're in Lisbon and are a fan of world-class craft cocktails in a fun and funky vibe, add Monkey Mash to your list. read more

Great little bar! Originally came here because we were trying to get into Red Frog (the speakeasy attached to monkey mash). Once we arrived, we were directed downstairs to a very cute little bar. The music was great, the drinks were superb and the ambiance was amazing. Overall it was a great night in Lisbon and one that I will remember. Highly recommend you make a reservation. It seemed like they only let you in if they have room to let you sit as it's not one of those packed bars (which I appreciate). Would definitely recommend this place and if I am in Lisbon again I will definitely come back read more

We were told we'd get into Red Frog. Had three drinks each. Nothing. Were told there's no availability. So kind of a scam if you're trying to go to Red Frog. read more

Don't waste your time. All cocktails are batch cocktails. Total rip off tourist trap. Resting on their laurels.

Our servers were so friendly and so sweet, we came in on a Monday night after finding out that Red Frog was closed. I'm so happy the night happened that way, because I wouldn't trade the experience I had at this bar for anything. The drinks were so inventive and delicious, there were some crazy combinations that ended up being so good! Definitely a must-visit if you're in Lisbon! read more

Not one to leave reviews ever, but we ordered 3 drinks here each one was at best a 4/10. I felt the menu was misleading and every drink was just a bunch of booze over ice they hoped would taste good. If you love cocktails don't come here. Lots of love tho. Xx ambiance is nice read more
