Cute place, great vibe and Jason the best 😊. Pool table, great music. No food but you can sit outside and go for Uber eats. Sweet place 😘

Love this place! It’s the perfect neighborhood bar to hang out and I’ve actually met some really nice guys here. I love the decor and atmosphere. Cheap drinks and super kind bartenders. Dean and Jason are the best! Just bring cash if you can because you cannot add tip to your card charge.

Our first trip to Ft. Lauderdale started at Monas. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed as a local. We have spent 6 out of 7 nights sitting in an atmosphere of fun, laughter, and great jukebox music. The bartenders, Jason, Dale, Marc and Dan were fantastic. This bar brings back the old world Gay Bar of male community. Take the time and skip the club. Close your grindr and meet people. Thank you Monas for making our Ft. Lauderdale trip amazing.
