In Short
Designed by Mary O' Grady, who also did the interior of the Figueroa Hotel, Middle Eastern influences abound, from the vibrant palate of maroon, teal and tangerine to the sultry mosque-like shapes and patterns. Monkey images pop up in the design scheme as well--their plastic counterparts dangle from cocktail glasses of in-the-know Eastsiders. A walnut wood bar takes center stage, with a raised, cushioned VIP area off to the side and long linear couches in front.

Went down last Saturday with a couple of friends for a few cocktails, we ended up staying all night. The energy of this place was great. The Dj was awesome. The mixed crowd was down to earth. The bar staff without attitude. Drinks were good and at a fair price. Beautiful decor, with a smoking patio. Best of all NO COVER. Everything I like in a Bar. Keep it up Blu Monkey.

I had my birthday gathering here last Saturday and it was Awesome! I had a really great time at this place! I didn't even feel like celebrating this year because I've been sooooo broke,but when I called this place they didn't charge me for my reservation or require me to buy a bottle which was super cool because most places do. The staff was really nice, the Dj was great, the drinks were perfect.I have absolutely no complaints.
