About

The Bad Monkey Bar honors those who serve our country and community with top-shelf drinks, great food, and nonstop sports. Located in the heart of Historic Ybor City, the Monkey is just a few minutes and free streetcar ride from Downtown, Channelside, the Convention Center, and Amalie Arena. Enjoy happy hour, darts, and shuffleboard in the main bar, pool upstairs in the loft, and a laid-back back patio to unwind. Watch all the sports action on 26 TVs—Bolts, Bucs, Rays, college football Saturdays, and full NFL Sundays. We are a go-to spot for fan club watch parties, and an official FSU watch party venue. Our historic building and decor make the Monkey perfect for private events—birthdays, reunions, or corporate outings.
