Monkey Thief Hours: Check Before You Go

Check Monkey Thief hours, compare Hell's Kitchen cocktails and Southeast Asian-inspired bites, then plan a visit to 754 9th Ave.

Save a Monkey Thief reminder.

What do Monkey Thief hours mean for your visit?

For Monkey Thief hours, plan for a 5 PM start Tuesday through Sunday; Monday is closed. This intimate bar at 754 9th Ave in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, pairs inventive drinks with Southeast Asian-inspired bites. The sesame-inspired 7 Long Years and crispy fried rice give you a concrete starting point when comparing Hell's Kitchen cocktails with a food-led evening. The key scheduling distinction is midnight closing on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, versus 2 AM on Friday and Saturday.

Check Monkey Thief hours against the day your evening begins, not just the calendar date after midnight. A Friday session can extend into early Saturday, while Sunday's listed session ends at midnight as Monday starts. These are the listed opening windows, not a promise about kitchen last orders, seating or a particular cocktail's availability. Call (212) 510-7910 if any of those details determines your visit.

Inside, the small room has Southeast Asian-influenced design and bar stools where conversation with the mixologists is part of the described experience. That makes the venue worth considering for a drink-and-bites plan rather than treating it as an anonymous late-night address. Once Monkey Thief hours fit your plans, the next questions are what to order, how to interpret the price band, and what still needs confirmation.

How do Monkey Thief hours change your evening plan?

Start with the closing time you actually need. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each have a listed 5 PM opening and midnight finish. Sunday follows the same evening window. Friday and Saturday also begin at 5 PM, but their closing time moves to 2 AM the next day. Monday has no listed opening session. For a late finish, Friday and Saturday provide the longer listed window; that is a schedule comparison, not a claim about quieter tables or faster service.

Read an overnight close as the end of the previous evening's session. Arriving early on Saturday morning belongs to Friday's window, not Saturday's 5 PM reopening. Likewise, Sunday evening's midnight close does not make Monday an operating evening. This distinction matters when friends are choosing a date as well as a time.

Monkey Thief hours describe the venue's opening schedule, not how late every dish or drink can be ordered. No separate kitchen closing time, last seating, special-date schedule or live wait estimate is provided. If your plan depends on eating near the end of the evening, use the phone number before leaving. Save a reminder to make that check rather than assuming the advertised closing hour guarantees a full food service until the final minute.

What should you compare on the cocktail and bites menu?

Use the named drink as a conversation starter rather than guessing from a photograph. The venue description identifies a sesame-inspired 7 Long Years cocktail, and it describes stools at the bar where you can talk with the mixologists. It does not provide a complete recipe, spirit list or allergy statement. If sesame or another ingredient matters to you, ask directly; a flavor description is not enough to establish dietary suitability.

For food, the documented choices include seasoned fries, croquettes and crispy fried rice. Those details support a cocktail-and-savory-bites decision without turning the page into an invented menu. You can decide whether that combination sounds right for your evening, then confirm current availability and portions before ordering. There is no item-level price list here, so comparing those dishes cannot produce a reliable meal total.

The room itself is described as small and cozy, with Southeast Asian design influences. Reviews summarized in the venue details praise service, creative cocktails and the food, but those observations do not establish how busy a particular night will be. Choose this angle if the mixologist conversation and the named savory dishes interest you; do not infer a guaranteed stool, a noise level or a full dinner format from the atmosphere description alone.

What should you confirm about brunch, budget and reservations?

Weekend brunch appears in both the venue description and the review summary, but the opening schedule provided here lists evening sessions starting at 5 PM. Those two pieces of information do not establish a brunch service window. Treat brunch timing as a question to confirm, not as permission to arrive at an invented morning opening time. Calling is the useful next step if brunch, rather than evening drinks, is your main reason for going.

For budgeting, the recorded price band is $$; it does not specify cocktail prices, food prices, minimum spend or a complete bill. Keep those unknowns separate from the opening-hours decision. A price symbol can help you recognize the listing's broad cost signal, but it cannot tell you what your chosen order will cost.

The venue details include its website as a reservation link, without stating whether a booking is required or whether a table is available. Use that route or call to check your actual plans; do not read the presence of a link as a confirmed reservation. Once Monkey Thief hours and those practical questions line up, save the visit reminder. Parking, transit directions and accessibility arrangements are not documented in the supplied details and should not be assumed from the address.
