    Monkey room is the perfect place to go for a low key night of drinks with friends and great food! Ive been here twice and both times I've had the red sangria and the margaritas. The sangria is definitely the better one of the two and the pitchers are pretty big. It can be expensive if you don't go for their happy hour but I believe that it was well worth it. I reluctantly ordered the penne vodka with chicken thinking to myself that there is no way that dish from a bar could be amazing but it was more than amazing! I am currently drooling over the thought of the perfectly seasoned chicken and creamy vodka sauce. I really fell in love with it! If i lived closer by Monkey Room would be my new go to spot! I can't wait to visit again!

    I love this place! I remember when i turned 25! I had an amazing time! I have like immense anxiety about large bills and people like banging it or not giving sufficient money... so i really loved that they split the bill into 2s. I had an amazing time! Good music, amazing people, hookah and great bartenders! I never get tired of coming here... its like a guaranteed good time! People are super friendly and nice! I recall the night of my birthday random people bought me drinks! Even on other times people were super cool and chilled! Parking is a little pain in the arse, i recommend cab and or bus!

    This is my favorite go to spot since I've found it 3-4yrs ago. The atmosphere is always right and the staff always treat me like family. Always happy to see me and not in the phony way. Very sincere. Every bartender and the owners as well are always attentive and welcoming and accommodating. It's not a very big place but it does get lit on the right night. They always have my hookah ready with my Don Julio w/lime on the side. I haven't been able to see them since covid and all. But I'm looking forward to it.

    Cool drinks offer - just get there between 5 and 7. They have frozen margaritas!!! And we also tried "coconut mojito" which many places unfairly call so instead of piña colada with mint. Both drinks were acceptable but not greats. we also have tried mozzarella sticks- its not very impressive because they were bitter from cooked in not so fresh oil probably. The other great thing why I liked this place is the backyard! So nice to sit there! Oh and they have free hookah on Monday after 7 I believe with order. Yay!

    Steak tacos were amazing and the potatoes fries as well

    Excellent food. Beautifully prepped, marinaded, chopped and then served in a most appealing way. Pleasant ambience! Noise level is okay! No loud music!! A place for adults. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere, fantastic and fresh food. Many options for appetizers and entrees.

    Honey bbq wings and steak tacos

    Been here twice with my bf and each time it has been fantastic! There are two rooms. One in the front with high rise tables and one in the back with booths called the monkey room. The roof can be opened which was pretty cool. Each time we went it hasn't been that crowded and the service was impeccable each time. We ordered the honey bbq wings and steak tacos. The bbq wing sauce is the best I've ever had and it has been unable to be beaten anywhere else. You have to try these. You don't even need the blue cheese dressing that comes with it. This sauce could be eaten with anything. The steak tacos were cooked to perfection and you have have them as well. The guacamole was fresh and delicious. The drinks are pretty cheap and very tasty. They make them perfectly. The service was awesome as well & we will definitely be coming back here.

    Pleasantly surprised by this Washington Heights gem! Came here for a happy hour and left well drank, full, and happy. The casual cool setting is comfortable and inviting. The sliders looked good and tasted even better. The best part of this meal was the mojito. The many drink and food options here make it a place to visit!

    Owner doesn't believe in service and kicks everyone out when the night is over. They throw out your drinks rather than making last call.

    I found a roach in my drink. I told the bartender. She told me its messed up but it's the risk we take when we eat and drink in public.

We accidentally walked into a private event downstairs (everyone was dressed in white with balloons and a photo backdrop) before security redirected us to the right side. Once seated, we looked at the menu and decided to order a bottle since we planned to stay for a while and there was a special being advertised. We also got a hookah, which cost $40, with refills at $25--way too high in my opinion. Drink prices ranged from $18-$28 and food from $23-$38, which felt more like upscale restaurant prices than a lounge. When I asked about the bottle special, the waitress had to confirm with a man--who seemed completely unaware of the promotion. Thankfully, I had a screenshot, and even the hookah attendant confirmed it was posted. After some back and forth, the waitress honored the deal, but it definitely dampened the vibe. The place started to fill up later on, with a live DJ and good energy. But about three hours in, the waitress came over and said, "The owner would like you to pay for the bottle now." That caught us off guard--we had already ordered food and had no intention of leaving without paying. To make things worse, she "thanked" us for not skipping out on the bill, which was offensive and completely unnecessary. Turns out, the hookah girl never put in our food order despite taking it on her handheld device. At that point, we were completely turned off. We paid for the bottle and left. The Bleu Room has potential, but their service, communication, and assumptions about customers need serious improvement. They lost out on more business by making us feel unwelcome. SMH.
