"At this East Village collaboration between director Baz Luhrmann and the people behind Le Dive and The Nines, the mood is gothic kitsch with a touch of canoodling. Think Romeo & Juliet meets Andy Warhol, or Nosferatu addicted to rummage sales. The intimate room, featuring stained glass windows and a suit of armor in the corner, looks like the chapel of a particularly fun castle, with a few modern touches like photos of NYC nightlife and free kettle chips. Monsieur is a no-brainer for a drinks-centric date—try the Acapulco Gold with mezcal and passionfruit—and it’s also a nice spot to sink into a booth under a taxidermied bird and waste a few hours chatting. There isn’t much to eat, but if you need a little something, try the flaky, palm-sized meat pies. photo credit: Emily Andrews" - Bryan Kim

A great little bar with pretty good cocktails, good service, and an excellent service and ambiance. It’s sort of like being in an old tavern from the Middle Ages. Warm and inviting, fun atmosphere. The servers were attentive and fun. We really enjoyed it.

I came early and sat at the bar and kudos to the staff - they're fabulous. Very welcoming and friendly. I ordered the tuna and the grilled cheese sandwich (with truffles, it was delicious). The place is gorgeous but for me, it's a little too much. I prefer Elvis (by the same owner). The vibe at Monsieur is kind of precious e.g. the no-photo rule whereas at Elvis everything is a little more chill.

A stunning new bar from the mind of Baz Luhrmann. The decor is lush and the space is beautifully designed. There are so many details to admire. This bar is perfect for a date night. The drinks are interesting and very well crafted. Excellent espresso martini! Loved that none of the drinks were very sweet. I’ll definitely be back to try more.

Enter at your own risk. I love high-quality experiences. I love great service. I love to be an environment that respects all people; however, I cannot say that this bar provides these experiences If you want to be in a location where you will be disrespected and cheated terribly by the bar staff, this may be the place for you. Disappointing.

Friendly staff, delicious drinks, and gorgeous ambiance. A little bougie for my taste but the decor is so fab I’ll put up with some snobbery

It’s a nice spot but they are still working out the kinks. Service was slow and generally poor. Had a reservation - completely ignored for an hour for a table. Their front of the house staff was so bad the manager had to step in and tell her to solely do coat check given how poor her ability was to handle checking tables. Do NOT go here til they work out the opening kinks and they fix staff. Drinks honestly also were pretty poor - old fashioned was bitter, if you want a good drink in area, just go to Goodnight Sonny’s, it’s three blocks away

Such a beautiful lounge. In ways it reminded me of Nell's in the 80's. Many thanks to the host and waitstaff.

Fabulous atmosphere, great service, delicious drinks. One of the most stylishly decorated bars in the city. Definitely plan on returning!
