The Ugly Monkey Party Bar is a neon-lit dive where locals indulge in pole dancing on the bar, karaoke, and rum buckets for a wild night.
"On Morgan Street in Raleigh, the Ugly Monkey Party Bar draws customers in with its neon-lit sign. It gives off vibes of a ridiculously good time but also a massive hangover when walking by. If you’ve witnessed this bar, you know why. Cheap shots, rum buckets, pole dancing (on the bar), open mic night, karaoke, and more. All that said, yes, it’s still divey and locals frequent the joint for a drink or two. Line up the whiskey shots, sit back, and enjoy the atmosphere. It’s also wise to plan on taking the next day off." - Jenn Rice
