Monsieur

Monsieur is a medieval gothic-themed cocktail lounge in the East Village conceived by Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin as a dark 'medieval punk lair'. The atmospheric space features candlelit seating, stained glass, tapestries, suits of armor, and wooden beams with a vampire-esque dungeon vibe. Popular menu highlights include craft cocktails like their espresso martini, paired with bar bites like french fries, grilled cheese, and indulgent ice cream sundaes.

Commenters are generally enthusiastic about the unique aesthetic and recommend it as an excellent date spot or after-party location. However, some feedback mentions potential downsides such as rude door staff or bouncers, an underwhelming cocktail selection for some palates, and strict policies like no flash photography.
