Bad Monkey Ybor

We only had drinks. Was disappointed as I was looking forward to an espresso martini but they don't have espresso. Settled for Makers Mark Private Select 101. Was a good substitute.

A true Military bar. It's a one of a kind place!

Tourist bar. Enjoy the spring breakers and push the locals out. They tolerate assault on women here and ask “everyone to just get along”.

Bad Monkey Bar in Ybor City is a hidden gem that offers a fantastic blend of being in the heart of the action while still providing a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The food was delicious, cheese sticks were the best I've had in a long time and the service was top-notch. Cook got the wrap wrong but no biggie since I was honestly trying to decide between the Buffalo chicken wrap or the chopped beef wrap. Ordered the chicken with ranch but was actually the chopped beef. No complaints that the cook decided for me lol. Also while eating, I loved the feeling of being on the strip yet feeling like I had found a secret spot to enjoy. Can't wait to go back and soak in the unique ambiance all over again!

Nice place, good drinks. Good place to have a few drinks and smoke cigars!

Staff isn’t very friendly. Most of them look like they’re already trying to start a problem and then once you engage they appropriate as you the outside individual is the instigator. I’ve been there a handful of times and it’s always the same thing. Not to mention the amount of times I was skipped over while waiting at the bar to get a drink. The bartenders clearly made eye contact but proceeded to assist the clientele with fairer skin.

Overpriced with terrible service
