I will admit that the crowd was a bit older than I am usually comfortable with, but the staff was exceptionally friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. The customers were kind and approachable, the bartenders attentive and pouring with a heavy hand... This is a must visit for any GLBT American with an appreciation for history and an enjoyment of a laid back atmosphere. I strongly reccomend it.

I just returned from NYC this week and while there I went to a number of places, including Monster. The drinks were strong and the crowd delightful. Upstairs is a piano bar with plenty of old queens singing showtunes. Downstairs is a more hip club atmorsphere - but very HOT, both in temperature and clientele. An absolute must visit.
