# When Do The Monkey Bar Reservations Open?

The Monkey Bar is an American restaurant in Midtown, New York City ($$$$) that takes reservations on Resy.

On DinnerElite's booking-window estimate, tables at The Monkey Bar are claimed an average of 7 days before the reservation date. That estimate comes from the restaurant's published release window where it states one, and is modeled from price tier and neighborhood where it does not.

## When do reservations open?

The Monkey Bar publishes this itself: reservations open 21 days ahead, 9 AM ET (parties up to 8, $2.50 per person fee), per its restaurant's own site. The lead-time figure above is DinnerElite's estimate, not the restaurant's.

## Good to know before you book

Monkey Bar states its rules on its own site: reservations open up to 21 days ahead on Resy, each new date at 9 AM Eastern, for parties of up to 8, with a $2.50 per person fee on online bookings (we checked in mid-July 2026). The site also hands walk-ins a real door: the bar serves the full menu with no reservation fee, which makes an early bar seat the practical plan when the books look full.

## How to get in

Book the moment the reservation window opens on Resy, or set a free DinnerElite alert: it watches The Monkey Bar around the clock and emails you the instant a matching table opens, whether from a fresh release or a cancellation. DinnerElite sends alerts and never books automatically.
