The Scene – Cracked black-and-burgundy paint and brushed-steel tabletops make for a dim, sleek atmosphere.

Cheap drinks
by leschnei
I like monkey bar because they have cheap and tasty drinks and the atmosphere is kind of funky and fun. However, it is always too crowded and noisy. It is a terrible place for groups and the parking is really limited.
- Pros: Cheap drinks
- Cons: Limited parking, crowded, noisy

This bar is overrated and disappointing. Trendy to the uneducated and desperate. If you like to mingle with a deadbeat crowd then this is place for you. The lack of room forces individuals to be herded like cattle onto a small outside patio. Access to the bathroom is very difficult. It might be great to those who have never step foot outside of Sacramento, but a huge disappointment for those who truly enjoy good, fun, entertaining bars.

- Pros: Inexpensive, Booth Seating, No Cover
- Cons: No music, slow service, lack of room

No Good for Dates
by mochamix79
Not a good spot to take a date, let alone a first date. The people are too many, the noise is too much and the service is too slow. May be a good spot to hang out and meet some interesting folks, albeit trendy and overrated.
- Cons: , Crowded, Slow Service
