Square Meal Review of Drunken Monkey ?

Dim sum, cupcakes, cocktails, ice teas & iconic bottled beers are not the least of the Drunken Monkey’s attractions: fans also like its louche Shanghai Lil interior, eclectic beats fresh off the decks, happy-hour price deals, poker nights & fun cocktail masterclasses for 10 or more alumnae. Highballs worth high-fiving include the mango mule, oriental ginger sour, & lemongrass gimlet. Simian features (an El Dorado rum, basil & pineapple Collins) is another on-theme worthy, while cocktail jugs at £16.50 are perfect for monkeying around. Order great steaming buns of dim sum goodness from £3, along with pot-stickers & plates of rice & noodles. The golden-walled Concubine Room is perfect for discreet private bashes.

    We go the the Monkey often as our office is right on Bishopgate

    We have alot to chose from around here but we always to back to the monkey – the waitresses are friendly, we always feel welcome, and the food is such good value. we do the set menu which is so much food and it makes it so easy to split the bill when we go out after work

    they do a great happy hour and on mondays sometimes i'll meet my mates there and do cheap bbq mondays – free ribs when you buy 4 beers

    all in all highly reccomended

    Went on a Friday night after work and I LOVED it. WE all met up just for a quick drink but then the next thing we knew the vibe was great and we were onto our second cocktail and then the DJ s came on and that was it – we stayed on until we could get a table and had such tasty dim sum for such a good price a couldn't believe it. A great place to get together and hang out with friends and people watch as well. So many types – City, Shoreditch crowd – everyone seemed at home. So the Drunken Monkey will be a regular favourite of mine. The service was fine for such a crowded Fri nite – I don't understand what people are complaining about – they were actually really nice and cool even though the bar was crowded they took time to be polite to us and explain what was in our delicious cocktails.

    Visited the Drunken Monkey on a Saturday night for Dim Sum and cocktails. The drinks were poorly mixed and whilst discussing this my friend noticed a cockroach running across the table. She trapped it with her martini glass and altered the wait staff, who looked absolutely horrified. The management however seemed unconcerned and offered us another drink on the house for free, dismissing the cockroach as a result of recent building work. We declined the offer of another drink and left immediately.

    Will not visit again. Dirty and overpriced.
