Reviews for Iron Monkey in Jersey City, NJ
I always love Iron Monkey. Been going here since 2016. The food is good. The drinks are good. The rooftop is beautiful as well.... Not fancy but a perfect place for a sit down and chat vibe. Read more

**UPDATE BC OF OWNER Reply (7/2/2022} : PS.... Judging by this response, you confirmed my experience was spot on. I praised the... entire staff but ONE individual. And instead of acknowledging your employees that did GREAT, the amount of fun me and my partyhad, you are defending one small inconvenience that I felt. Please do better. S/o to the individuals I came across ; Kelman,Passion , Diana, the (Caucasian woman) bartender downstairs, and the Asian woman with the tight tattoos!!! You guys areINCREDIBLE!!! Lemme know when you all get a better employer to work for - we will pull up with tips just for yall. ???? end ofupdate ***** ___________________ i would just like to take this opportunity to praise the staff of Iron Monkey! We were agroup of 4 and came Saturday evening - around 7p and sat in the rooftop. We were greeted by the bartender downstairs andKelmen. Kelmen was very pleasent in letting us know the kind of crowd that comes. I am in my 30s, so I did not want to bearound young college kids, if you get my drift lol. We were then seated and greeted by Passion. A very cute young lady whojust started the job. She was very pleasant and what we appreciated most, is that she didnt use being "new" as a clutch, andBS her way through questions, but instead was very honest and smiled through all of our questions and provided great service. Diana was another pleasant sole that assisted Passion as she was training, and was able to provide more insight when we inquiredabout drinks/foods. Those 3 were AMAZING! I, however, did have one complaint from what I viewed and even relayed to theservers before we left. The tall black woman, Krystal, did not acknowledge our table at all. Not even a smile. I saw shespoke to everyone else, checked in to make sure other (white) patrons were okay, but she did not come by at all. Wait no, ilied, she came once towards the end to tell us that "we are out of martini glasses, are you going to be alright with that?" Read more
The ambience was very cool but the food was very average at best and the beer list was minimal. Their scotch, whiskey, and wine... list however was extensive. The waitress we had was either overworked or not happy because she was not really friendly. It'ssad because it's a cool spot but I would think a pub had a bigger beer selection and maybe a more robust menu. Read more
Good beer selections! Our server was very nice! I forgot her name! But the staff overall was super nice! I wish the place was... slightly bigger but it was good for a few beers & chill spot to hang out! Came here for a date night bar hopping with theboyfriend our apps were great had good drinks! Can’t complain! The space was kind of the only issue for me becuse youoverheard other peoples conversations! We were kinda stuck into the back but it was fine! Read more
I wish the money I spent here was used somewhere else. The sangria was probably the best part of the meal besides all the fruit... flies that were on the fruit. The loaded tater tots tasted off, lack of flavoring or something was missing. The meatballs weredecent but the garlic bread were like crisps not bread so it was slightly misleading. If I were to come back it would only befor drinks. Read more
Lots to like about this place from beer selection to the decor to the food. I'm from the west coast, so the "old", (we'll say... "restored") decor was charming. This place has four levels. The ground floor, the second floor and the fourth floor (rooftop)all have bars and the third floor is the kitchen. The rooftop is covered with flowers and potted plants. It has a nice view ofthe Hudson. They had some unique beers that were very good. As for food we just had chips and guac, but the guac was a verygenerous portion. They have all sorts of other options. There isn't too much around here, so it was a great find. Read more
I had a great time last night, the servers were Awesome and we enjoyed the atmosphere and diffinently the food. We didn't... realize that there we stairs and know elevator, but it was worth the trip. Looking forward to seeing Iron Monkey again ???????? Read more
