The Monkey Bar inside the Hotel Elysée first opened in 1936 with murals by Charles Baskerville. The room has run as a Manhattan supper-club fixture for nearly a century and ranks inside the city's top ten on the secondary market currently.
Resy opens two weeks ahead. The prime tables clear in the first minute; weeknights and late seatings stay open longer. The bar takes walk-ins for the full menu.
