Golden Monkey Bar


Why you'll love Golden Monkey Bar

  • Modern lighting design
  • Amazing service and an atmosphere
  • Great menu and refreshingly good cocktails

Follow the Path of Infinite Divinity, Down the Staircase of Hanging Suns, Through the Valley of Crimson Velvet, Into the Heart of the Golden Monkey Swinging from the lanterns. Golden Monkey provides the ultimate escape for those wanting to party with style. A beautifully hand-painted billboard with a reclining temptress sets the cinematic mood to the place, and the maze of wooden screens provides the perfect balance of privacy and openness where you can choose to watch or be watched. Part opium den, part Shanghai 1920s nightspot, the old-world feel of the venue is contrasted by a modern lighting design that reflects the Shanghai of today where the old blends seamlessly into the new. A forbidden bar and nightspot dedicated to fine drinks and fun times hidden away in Melbourne's Hardware Lane.

Golden Monkey is all about fine drinks and fun times. You can hang around at the bar, lay back in a booth or set the dance floor on fire. The drinks are designed for a fun night out with friends with refreshingly good cocktails, house-made shots and shared punches served in everything from traditional Chinese steamboats to vintage metal trunks. Complimenting the drinks list are signature handmade steamed dumplings and fluffy traditional Chinese bao available all night long. Favourites such as Har Gao, Siu Mai, Xiao Long Bao and Shui Jiao come fresh, hot and steaming in big bamboo baskets right to the table. The entertainment lineup has one goal only: to get everyone in the room dancing and singing and having the time of their lives. Dance the night away with their live music.

Golden Monkey caters for the solo adventurist, small groups out to celebrate life, and functions and events for large groups of up to 200 guests. There's space for a band or DJ in the centre and the bar looms large in the corner. This great place features good food, a wide range of drink options, amazing service and an atmosphere like no other! It will surely guarantee good times for all!
