    Montero's! Karaoke with AMETHYST (lovely host with killer vocals). Need I say more. A friend of ours was having a birthday and we had to trek it do some hidden bar in Brooklyn Heights. My friend described this place as "aquatic themed" and a "dive". Two of my favorite words when combined together. I salivate at the thought of an old man bar and then you put karaoke in the mix like the cherry on top. We arrived around 9pm. Turns out this was the smartest move. Later I saw groups of people and even birthday people get turned away by the charming door guy "Pepe" while "Matthew" tried to woo me. The karaoke is done in the tiniest part of the bar. I suggest you'd stand in an angle to let people go to the bathroom but also leave room for "Sonya" to bus tables and get to the bar and still see the karaoke list. Back to Amethyst. You gotta write down the song you want to sing. If it's not in the computer then Amethyst will call you back to put in a new song. You get a song with every drink you order. If you are doing a duet then you hand the mic to the person who's being invited to sing. This is the rule. The name on the slip is the person that hands the mic. Don't forget. The main mic has the red tape. DON'T PUT DRINKS DOWN ON AMETHYST'S TABLE. At the bar, Kaddy is slinging drinks but will take a quick break to sing some Alanis Morisette. Everyone here is down for the wild ride! The beers are $4 for pbr and with a tequila shot it's $11. So pick your liquid courage wisely. This place is over 80 years old. The staff was really the best part, followed by the decor. The crowd is a young, finance, fresh out of grad school types and some older regulars sprinkled in. Maybe they come on the non-karaoke nights. It's CASH ONLY. Almost $3 for the ATM.

    Montero's is a dive that comes fully equipped with a pool table, surly bartenders and surprisingly fun karaoke nights, so please allow me to sing this review to you in the style of Bohemian Rhapsody: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a dive bar, to escape from reality. Open your beer, look at that weird guy, smell peeeee... I'm just a poor boy, I need some buybacks please.* Because I'm kinda drunk, OK sloshed. Little high? Maybe so. Anything the 'tender pours, doesn't really matter to me, to me... Oh man, just sang a song. Put my mouth up on the mic, yelled my chorus, now they left. To think, the night had just begun. But now I've gone and chased them all away... My bad, ooh, didn't mean to make you leave, If I'm here back again this time tomorrow, Get me help, the AA kind, 'cause I definitely have a problem. Too late, my drink has come. Sent shots all down my throat, think I should've got my coat. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go. Gotta leave you all behind and eat some food,** Really, ooh, (anything that tastes good) I don't want to leave, But sometimes I wish I'd never come in at all. [Guitar solo fades out because I think this has run its course.] _____________ *The prices are definitely a little higher than they should be, considering the smell and the man sleeping in the corner that you might think is homeless, but is actually just waiting for karaoke to start (he has a lovely voice). **They don't serve any, but Table 87 is quite close and delicious.

    I really love this bar! So cozy and the karaoke aspect makes it so much fun and laidback. Bartenders are really sweet folk. Please note the hours on google or yelp might not be updated. As of Jan 2022 they are open every single day from 2pm - 2am! 10/10 recommend to come here to chill and have a good drink :) Thanks Montero for being my favorite neighborhood bar after moving to Brooklyn!

While the design of the space is visually interesting, we couldn't get physically comfortable. Both the space and the chairs just didn't allow you to settle in and chill. Everything else about the place was neither above nor below par for what a place with the word "dive" in it should be.

So friendly and warm and attentive. I got an espolon shot for like $7 bucks and their cocktail prices are pretty affordable considering how insane drink prices are nowadays. Cause baby! With tax and tip these drinks be coming out to like $23/$24 dollas now. Say it with me... Outside is Expensive. Luckily, this place has a great price point and they have free popcorn but they also allow outside food. A lovely couple I met that day shared their wings and dipping sauce with me. Super sweet. They have a backyard area, plenty of space on the inside and 2 bathrooms. I'd definitely go back! Everyone was also just super chill and nice. I was having random conversations with people and it felt effortless and nice in a world where not all people are nice.
