The Drunken Munkey - UES 8.8
Yorkville
Vibes: Date Night Magic Girls Night Out Approved Happy Hour Hotspots Trendy Table Hotspots
The Drunken Munkey runs as a colonial-style Indian cocktail bar where butter chicken, biryani, and house curries share equal billing with gin-and-spice drinks in a dim, crowded room. Locals treat it as a destination for date nights and small-group hangs when they want polished Indian plates, serious cocktails, and a buzzy Upper East Side crowd.
Must-Try Dishes: Butter Chicken Tikka Masala, Railway Chicken, Munkey Lamb Biryani
