Monkey Bar is a whole vibe! Had such a fun night here during our trip to Provincetown. Our server David was amazing--super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell he really cares about creating a great experience for guests. We ordered a little bit of everything: two creative martinis (the Cinnamon Toast Crunch-tini and Jack & Thyme-tini were both hits), plus a mix of apps and sushi. The potstickers, crab rangoon, sesame BBQ boneless ribs, pulled pork bao, and Asian cucumber salad were all packed with flavor. And the Whitney Houston Roll? Chef's kiss. Everything came out fresh and beautifully presented. Loved the atmosphere too--chill but stylish, with great energy. If you're in P-Town and want a fun spot with great food, drinks, and standout service, definitely check out Monkey Bar. Bonus points if David is working! read more

The ambiance here was an absolute surprise from our expectations. Modern, upbeat and engaging. Food was serviceable; I don't think there is high end in this category anywhere here, so it gets to rank up there. The drinks service and options was so good. If you like great unique drinks; solid presentation in a cool atmosphere stop by here.... Just not around Tea Dance time because you won't get in!! read more

This is a Ptown bar you do not want to miss. They know how to make drinks here and if you want to swallow something big Monkey offers enormous concoctions. Staff are always pleasant and give the bar a neighborhood feel. There is also a nod to my hometown of Wilton Manors with a drink named after the city. For the enormous concoctions you do pay NYC prices so bring someone with an enormous wallet. read more

stopped into an old favorite. First time in a while. had some apps and a couple drinks. Apps were disappointing, potstickers cold and chicken fingers too well done. Drinks were ridiculous. $28.99 for "Ptowns Best" manhattan. Major disappointment as I just had one at The Harbor Lounge ($16). $23.99 for an uninspired expresso martini. Sad to say but go somewhere else. read more

We were blown away with how great everything was. We were expecting a dive bar, but it was very nice and modern restaurant and bar. I was skeptical of Thai food in Ptown because I grew up with great food at my family's Chinese restaurant. Food was so delicious and honestly the best Thai food I've ever had. We had the Thai Tuna Tartare, House Pad Thai, and the Thai Peanut Chicken. My dad makes a pretty good Pad Thai, but the House Pad Thai blows his out of the water. Shhh! Don't tell him! There were chunks of beef that fell apart, not the typical thinly sliced flank steak. The calamari were also super tender, not rubbery at all. Absolutely delicious and great portion sizes. The food also came out really quick, which is a sign of a great Asian restaurant. We also got Thai Tea and the double espresso martini and they were great as well. My fiancée said the espresso martini was the best he ever had, beating out our favorite spot back home. Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Fun bar! The people couldn't be nicer. Fun off-the-beaten path atmosphere if you like to socialize. Food and drinks are decent, and it's open late! read more

I have been coming to The Monkey bar for the last 6 years Johnny and David completely remodeled during covid and it is gorgeous! The martinis are the best in town and Johnny's food is superb. The crispy shrimp dumplings are my favorite and the curry is fantastic. We tried several dishes tonight and loved every one. The food is always cooked fresh to order with the best possible ingredients. This is the place to go in Ptown. The bears know this, everyone else needs to check it out. read more

Decided to stop by as we were making our way home. We always turn up Conat st. It was around 6pm on a Thursday and we could get two seats at the bar. I had 2 tasty Sapphire martinis and my SO had two wines. No food was ordered. Had great conversation with people and owner. All and all a fun time. read more

It's like an expensive dive bar that promotes martinis. Got wasted after one drink. Crowd that night was Cougar Moms. I've been to smaller bars in smaller towns that play better music and don't charge as much as this Sh*tlon Manors offshoot. Smallest bar I've ever seen. Would be cool if they hired local bartenders, but they keep brining them from other states and don't support the local community. read more

We got a table for 2 quickly but there was a line when we left. Our waitress (I forgot her name :() was very nice. Drinks were delicious and so was the food. Unfortunately they close after Labor Day for the season so if you want to try out the place you may have to wait til next year. If we come back to Ptown we would definitely return. We had one of the best meals of our visit here! read more

Wow I thought this was a cool bar a little of the touristy path. But $53 for two drinks that were OK. I'm in shock right now. Would have hung out here again, but now I'd rather drink at home. read more

If I could this place 0 stars I would the bartender I encountered last night was the rudest bartender I have ever encountered in my entire life. The experience I had was honestly shocking stay clear of here. read more

Don't go here lol. Very expensive and the drinks were so strong that they were undrinkable.

Everything was amazing!!!! From the food to the staff I def recommend the monkey bar as a stop during your stay in ptown

Cool place to hangout with friends, but $23 bucks for a Titos on the rocks!! Insane. You'll be broke after a round or two with the crew. Other than the expense, it's a good chill bar. The bartender was friendly and served drinks perfectly. read more

They make the worst drinks/cocktails. The most basic ones were undeniable, and they are more expensive than a NYC bar. They could not make a Long Island Iced Tea or a Manhattan. The food was meh at best and the waitress, well she was meh. I will not return, I would suggest you find someplace elae to drink and dine. read more

The monkey bar is a fantastic gem on commerce street in ptown. Great gay bar with fantastic drinks and delicious Asian food. Don't listen to the couple of negative reviews, the service at the monkey bar is top notch. I highly recommend you visit the monkey bar if you are in town, it's a wonderful atmosphere and well worth it. read more

I am a chef and very picky about my food. The Monkey bar's food is always a must. The shrimp fried rice is AMAZING!. The staff is always welcoming and 100% professional. read more

I have been coming to the Monkey Bar for many years now. Therefore this review is based on the many times I've been here (approx 10 times). When I come to Ptown to visit, I stay at my uncles house a few blocks from the Monkey Bar. The bar happens to be on the way to the house after sightseeing and walking around downtown/Commercial Street so you know it's our last stop, every time, all the time! And it never disappoints. This cute, small yet cozy bar welcomes you with open arms. Walk they the red doors and you will find what you need, the bar! Smiling faces taking your drink orders and food as well. A great selection from their sushi bar compliments of Jhonny Tai Bistro. Form sushi to chicken lettuce wraps, fried calamari and my favorite Crispy Thai Shrimp Rolls! Safe to say Monkey bar is a must! You might find Jhonny walking around, make sure you say hi. I got warn you though, once you step into the Monkey Bar, you might not leave until they close (meaning until you get kicked out) but no worries, you can do it all over again next day! read more

2 bud light aluminum cans. 2 shots of Herradura Tequila. Total- $74.82 ( not including a 20% "encouraged"iPad tip) Staff was nice but the place is ripping people off. read more

This place has the most amazing cocktail list in town ! And the asian food selection is pretty exciting and tasty. The Kamakazi cocktail and the lychee martini was intoxicating. I had Indonesian fried rice which kinda tasted like home so I was happy read more

You might say I'm "bananas" for the Monkey Bar! Or, more appropriately, I'm "nuts" about the place! Came here numerous times during my week in Ptown and was never disappointed. Manny the bartender is a national treasure. He got my friends and I turned on to the Peanut Butter martini that had a nut-rimmed glass. Always a friendly crowd, excellent drinks and outstanding service from the friendliest bartender in town. You'll go "ape" over The Monkey Bar! (Sorry for all the bad puns. I clearly have a problem) read more

Very underwhelmed with the service when we went for dinner. The cocktail's from the night before do not meet the claim of the best, no where close! The management spent more time apologizing for the poor service then the server ever spent at our table. Im sure many people enjoy their experience here but we were the first people there for dinner and the manager and server stared at their phones while we were eating, doesnt seem they cared about us until we commented. Tried this place twice, dont feel a need to return. read more

Nice mix of food and a small bar. Famous for their 10 oz martinis. Upscale and lower-key than some of the other places that are equally fun for different reasons read more

I made one visit to this location during a 4th of July visit to P-town and I was at Georgie's Alibi/Monkey Bar in Wilton Manors, Florida, in April. I'm told both are owned by the same people. Both places are very nice and they had good drink prices in Florida; I didn't order an alcoholic drink with dinner in P-town. Unfortunately, I encountered the same problem in both places. In my opinion, the food, while not a disaster, just wasn't worth the prices charged. The quality of the food that I received at both locations was on par with what I would expect if I had microwaved a frozen entree from a supermarket or gas station convenience store. Now that I have tried both places (and have no desire to eat gas station food when I am on vacation), I will not return to either of them. read more

Provincetown's only summer pop-up restaurant & bar! Drinks are great $$$$$. For is okay

Ordered the pad Thai. Was pretty mediocre. No surprise there are so many open tables.

Excellent sushi & authentic Thai in a fun upscale atmosphere with respectful service who are professional and prompt. Michelle was so very sweet and kind tending to our every whim. What a treat! Many years have I enjoyed this establishment read more

This place is unlike the rest! Such great service and drinks! The atmosphere is also super fun! Very laid back with fun upbeat music! They offer lunch specials and out of this world cocktails They even remember your face! It's always nice to have a genuine hello when you walk in! I would definitely give this place more than 5 stars! Make sure you say hi to DUFFY! He's behind the bar! He's the cocktail king read more

The Monkey Bar is one of my favorite bars in Provincetown. Its only open in the summer months. They just remodeled a few years back but it still small and comfortable, for both men and women. They have a HUGE picture window in front of the bar that looks right out into Commercial Street. I come here to people watch. I even had many strong women flash me their boobs more than once! Hello? Do I look straight? This awesome window is also right in front of an A/C unit which is a added bonus in the hot summer. read more

Beware - drinks are $24 here - they advertise the "only 10 oz martini in Provincetown" - which isn't true. And even if it was - $24 for a Tito's cosmopolitan is just stupid. read more

The most ridiculously priced place in town! I thought it was a mistake the first time, then I just realized that the place is an absolute joke Drink prices are outrageous! Food-mediocre and an absolute rip off A local favorite no more Like others mentioned-often get sick after drinking the specialty cocktails read more

I see a lot of reviews here complaining about the service, and I couldn't disagree more! The service and atmosphere are usually the number one reasons I come to MB & highly recommend it to others. You get what you give. Bar is quite spacious, they also have great music and plenty of couches. Perfect place if you have a decent sized group. I have been visiting Ptown for years, and it's always a place I hop to the first night I get here. Cocktail list is HUGE. Plenty of top shelf liquor on hand, and cocktails are well crafted. If you're stingy and are looking for cheap booze/drinks, then don't waste your time. You get what you pay for, and they make a mean margarita! Monkey Bar will always be one of my favorite places in ptown. read more

My 2 friends and I came to this place for some Thai food. The environment was great. Our waiter JFK was absolutely FABULOUS!! The food was delicious and the drinks were on point. The waiter was very friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. I feel like we were besties before I even left! Lol I would certainly come here again. We had sushi, shrimp spring rolls, noodles, fried rice, sesame chicken, and some other stuff. We also had cocktails. Great food! read more

Waaaay overpriced for mediocre Thai food in an extremely noisy environment. I don't need to pay for the apparently costly renovation all at once! read more

Worst dining experience we have had in PTown! The server was simply rude and the drinks are insanely overpriced. The server recommended a drink and after trying it and not liking it at all she offered to switch it. The bartender brought over a different drink which was pure octane and undrinkable. He said they make their drinks strong there. I've had strong but never on the rubbing alcohol caliber. He then brought over another drink. When we got our bill they charged us for 2 of the 3 drinks and an up-charge for tequila we never asked for bringing that drink to $27! When we asked the rude server her response was "the manger wanted us to charge you for all 3!" We of course asked for the manager and were told he wasn't there. I'm guessing the server lied if not shame on that manager! read more

Am I going crazy, or were prices never this high before? Where is the point at which people just stop coming back here? I think three drinks ended up over $60. Not particularly strong, not particularly inventive (at least no more than your typical gay martini bar). I feel like I used to love it here, but this is a bit crazy. I don't think I'll be back this week. read more
