If you want to Gamble, this is the place. Pokies, TAB, Keno. If you are after a quiet beer overlook this place

Not even joking was walking past on the way home with 6 mates. Non of us had been drinking and just wanted to to catch up. Got interrogated by security. Even though he let us in, we left because of his attitude.

Great coffee, good pokies room, but no food available ?????

We went there for pool game, the table was squeezed into the corner with no space to play properly. Would be good to have the table placed in an open or bigger space. A bit disappointing ?

A very friendly and warm-welcoming atmosphere with heartfelt wooden decor details. Plus, so smileful a staff.

I used to go to the monkey bar as much as possible, but more recently I have been denied entry without valid explanation as to why. This was once an amazing place to meet new people and have a beer with your mates, but I no longer recognise the monkey bar. It has changed for the worse and I wish it would come back so that I can go monkey and watch the races

Bit smokey. But its a great place to hide from the world.

Goid atmosphere with sports on tv & good range of drinks

Great beers, great service, fun pokies and open till late.

Friendly staffs and good place for pokies and tab

Great hotel, good locals as well

The Asian bar staff are vindictive. They think they run the joint even above the new licensee. I have a Stoma Bag. And Vivian, one of the Thai bar attendants, accused me of making a mess of the toilets when I always clean up after myself when I go to the loo. And that's only very rarely I go. So she took a video of me, without consent, & barred me for 3 months! Saying it in front of other patrons! Unprofessional & corrupt. Don't bother going there. ??'???'???'?

It was once a pretty good place. But now it's just a sad VIP pokie den.

Once you get inside the Monkey Bar it's basically a pokie gambling den with a bar. Unfortunately the last couple of times I've been there the security has told me the bar (somewhat rudely) is at capacity, so I'll never return. It used to have really nice beer glasses which made an ordinary beer taste like gold, but the last time I went there they seemed to revert back to normal schooners. Better options in the area. After a renovation they had really nice toilets (at least in the men's), but they didn't seem to upkeep and it's about as clean as the public toilets at the train station.

The whole bottom bar smells like cigarette smoke. Something's not right with the ventilation. Can't be legal.

Love it. Cheap cocktails and great service.

Nothing to do except gamble.. staff are very rude.

Please do not go to this place gaming area is rubbish
Staffs are unprofessional and rude
ESPECIALLY THE ASIAN MANAGER

I was playing at one of the slot machines and lost my money and took a break and smoking, the manager come to me and kicked me out because I was taking a break from playing sitting on chair on my machine.
they just want you to play and loss money otherwise they kick you out.
Machines do not pay too
Lost $1560

Rude staff unclean was not impressed looks like an ungrounded casino

Average. Small interior, smoking space smell comes into main seating area, so not much point to the constantly opening and closing doors. The drinks are what you'd get at any bar. Probably wouldn't go here again, as it was small, loud, crowded and there isn't any food.

Would give it 0 stars if possible.Most of the staff (including the licensee)Have little interest in or knowledge of anything other than the abundance of pokie machines.And the regular crowd that patronize this dive, just add to the tragedy that I have watched this place become.(Try Chelsea bar, just 200m away)

Try it if you're in Chatswood, start of drinks with a few Soju Jugs for the ripe price of $16 ea not to mention ample gaming and tab facilities with a balcony to enjoy a drink or you can head upstairs occasionally to watch the live footy

Not bad, considering the fact that we are still in a pandamic. 2nd floor was pretty much empty when our group of 8 was there on a Wednesday night. Had fun with no interruption at all.
