The Monster

Classic gay hangout offers piano bar upstairs & a basement level for dancing, music & mingling.
Located in NYC’s West Village, Joe Scialo’s legendary nightclub and cabaret.
For over 50 years, this legendary establishment has provided a fabulous, welcoming establishment for gay New Yorkers, LGBTQ tourists and visitors & yes, even the occasional heterosexual to enjoy the wild laughter song and community of Greenwich Village.

The Monster's interior consists of a multi-level gay haven with a mix of vintage Lalique chandeliers and the famous mirrored staircase. With the 360 piano bar on the 1st floor and an energy filled nightclub downstairs, it’s no wonder celebrities from Andy Warhol to Rupaul frequented this institution.
