This is one rude monkey!
THE UP-SIDE: The Flying Monkey is a nice little bar. It's clean, the music selection is always great, and the layout is open and intimate at the same time. In addition, they usually have a nice selection of artwork on the walls as part of the monthly Tremont Art Walk.
THE DOWN-SIDE: All that said, the bartenders here are always full of attitude. I don't really get it. I've been here probably 15 times since it opened, and have never once experienced very friendly service. Where other Tremont bars like the Lava, Edisons and Prosperity seem to thrive on friendly service, the Flying Monkey seems coldly indifferent.
THE SUM-IT-UP: I like the Flying Monkey. It really is a nice little bar, with great atmosphere. However, after having downright rude service here on about 90% of my visits, I am pretty hesitant to return.
