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.

Great Atmosphere
by niceandeasy at Citysearch
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.
- Pros: Decor,crowd,music
- Cons: none
