Monkey Bar on 9

My friend and I went Friday evening about 8:00pm. 1st timer. Hands down the patio rooftop bar view is awesome. The servers were pleasant. Drinks were tasty. After 9pm, the crowd changes with younger people.

Great place! Great views. Cute menu. Food was good. Ambiance was awesome! My drink was amazing 😻

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited Monkey 9 Bar, and it was such a fantastic experience! The rooftop setting is absolutely stunning with a modern and stylish vibe that makes it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy. The guacamole and drinks were amazing—so fresh and flavorful! What really stood out was the exceptional service. Despite how crowded it got on a Friday and Saturday night, the servers and bartenders were incredibly attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. I highly recommend checking this place out. Whether you’re going with friends or just looking for a great rooftop experience, Monkey 9 Bar is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great place for after work have happy hour. Amazing views of the city with good food and the drinks are on point.

Gorgeous spot for a few drinks and appetizers! The view is just stunning! It’s first come first serve for seating but their outdoor rooftop has tons of space. Highly recommend the skinny smash drink 👌🏼

Big shout out to Raphael for the hospitality! Made us feel super welcomed. Food was great & the view of Downtown Dallas was stunning!🤩

Came here last night, the owner greeted us and sat us on the patio. Amazing views! Great drinks, with a downtown view

Mambos of course were good!! The manager and server were very nice!! I got the ground beef nachos and they were chefs kiss!!! Will be returning for sure

Loved it, great atmosphere and Elizabeth provided great service. I will be back for sure :)

Great crowd. Hidden Jewel in HP. Open the windows when the weather is right and have a Mombo Taxi

Came here with two of my girlfriends after leaving another spot due to dress code drama, and let me just say, Monkey Bar understood the assignment. The vibes were vibing from the minute we walked in. The music was on point, the crowd was mostly mid-20s to early 30s, and the overall energy was fun but chill. Not too wild, not too quiet. We started at the bar where I ordered a vodka water with lime, cucumber, and mint (refreshing and light!), and my friend got the piña: I don't know everything that's in it, but they torch the pineapple garnish and sprinkle some kind of seasoning on it that adds a serious wow factor. We were seated soon after ordering drinks and decided to grab some food. Just a heads up: it's mostly small bites/app-style plates. We ordered the mini tacos and nachos. Both were a little on the bland side but still satisfying enough to hold us over. The rooftop is super spacious with plenty of seating and standing areas, making it great for mingling or just kicking back. Overall, this place came through when we needed a vibe reset. Great for a casual night out with friends or a cute pregame spot!

Not what you are expecting on top of the TRU Hotel, but it is what you are expecting from Mi Cocina-Monkey Bar! The hotel staff from valet to lobby are very friendly and helpful to start...Much larger space than the Highland Park Monkey with a downtown and sunset view from the Margaret Hunt bridges to downtown to design district and Market Center...its a serious rooftop view that only Stemmons could offer honestly... Its new and very busy, we went on a Saturday, but service was very gracious and attentive considering we were near standing room only with what looked like a private event also going on by the outdoor mambo bar. The menu is a little smaller than HPV but the food is delicious! We had the street tacos and nachos while drinking down the Mambos!! Very modern comfy furniture outside with lots of group pit style seating and a jazzy bar-lounge setting inside.

Location Top of Tru Hotel- just off Stemmons Parking Complimentary valet-large lot Seating Inside, bar, outside hi tops and couches. They may want to have a few umbrellas/fans for the summer heat but there is alot of shade. Note-best rooftop view in Dallas! Service Outstanding. Servers, front and back bar. Menu Full bar, cocktail menu, ask for food menu. Back bar only has frozen margaritas. We had the mini tacos-sooo good. Fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, ground beef. Summary Our go-to rooftop bar-best view-plenty of space to stretch out-doesn't feel crowded. Great food-outstanding service, potent drinks. See you there!

Just opened! This place is new and popular! Complementary valet parking when you pull in. Lobby staff are friendly and kind. Head up to the 9th floor and you find beautiful decor, floor to ceiling windows, and an immaculate rooftop. The left side of the patio looks like a cruise ship deck with a large fire pit and seating, the center has a covered patio, and the right side has arranged couches and open seating area. We had the Topo Chico and mini tacos. They were delicious, tasted fresh! The service was fantastic. This place has a great vibe. We'll be back for sure!

I seen multiple servers, walked past me and not offer any service. I walked to the bar from my table and the short small server literally stayed at the door to avoid opening the door for me. I went to the bar to ask for a server and still no one came. I'll never return. The worst service I ever received.

Very nice and modern roof top experience and lounge at the new monkey bar. Had a great time with best friends for the 4th of July. The staff and Manager were very friendly and the service was excellent. The food was great as always. I felt I was on vacation.

Currently here and experiencing the WORST SERVICE EVER. WORST EXPERIENCE!!!!! when I first arrived I asked for a wine list, I was told extremely rudely that there was none... I then asked for a cocktail menu... I was given one... WITH A WINE LIST INCLUDED! idiot.... I asked for a simple tequila reposado because none of the wines were appealing to me... I tried to order food as the bartender was turning a way, I POLITELY (check the cameras) made a finger gesture to come back and said "and I want to order food" and THE BARTENDER WITH GLASSES said "Do not put your finger up to me" LMAOOOOOO??? Check the cameras. No one was rude or did that. I made a gesture to come back. Politely. I've also worked service industry ... I would never do something so rude. Insane. He needs to heal. He spilled half my shot.... And then the other third was taken by the bus boy before I finished it. (While I was eating) LOLLLL freaking worst experience ever. I will never return and I will warn everyone to never return. I also chit chatted with several patrons and everyone was disgusted with the service. Also bonus **** they talked mess in Spanish (thought I didn't know) Discriminating... . LOL. NEVER AGAIN I WARN EVERYONE DO NOT GO.

Required valet which I did not prefer. The drinks were good , the view made the experience greater. The bar was very busy so services could have been improved

Such a great addition to Dallas! Great food, great music and ambience and yummy food and drinks. Highly recommend checking out Monkey Bar! Will definitely be back.

This place was great beautiful views and a welcoming atmosphere. The host was super attentive, and John, the owner, even stopped by our table to check in on us. Really appreciated the friendly service!

Great vibes ! Beautiful views and great staff. GM John was so nice and the server Elizabeth was so sweet !! I will be back for sure and recommend to everyone else

Views are amazing . Staff is the best, food drinks were all fast. Would highly recommend going .

Great service, snacks and views of downtown Dallas. The remodel of this rooftop is a big success. We loved it!
