Cafe Brass Monkey 3440 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90010

"This place used to be it back in the day, but unfortunately its going down the hill. After 15 years I decided to go back and I was so disappointed. The main reason is because of the DJ. He was a jerk, super rude to my group. First he humiliated my friend in front of everyone as she was singing and yelled at her and told her to stop touching the microphone. Like are you kidding me, we came to sing so let us do our thing. Next, he wouldn't play my song so after a couple of hours I asked what's going on and he acted like he called my name but clearly he was giving his friends favoritism and letting them sing over and over. Lastly, my other friend after more than 2 hours was also wondering what happened to his song, so we approached the DJ only to be yelled at. He told us to get off his face and that was enough for me. You can't even respect the people that bring business to this place. No thanks, I'm out and we all left because we couldn't believe that a grown man would be acting like a teenager. Thinking he's powerful and has all control because he's the DJ. I didn't come to be mistreated or talked down. I came to have fun and if you can't play our song at least have the decency to be honest instead of being a jerk. So unfortunately I can't recommend this place anymore. There's plenty of other Karaoke places where people treat you with respect and appreciate your business."

"The bar was alright. For being a karaoke bar the DJ does not offer great service unless you pay them or unless you are a female. I understand why, but it makes it difficult to recommend this place knowing that. They should do better to be more inclusive."

"This bar is terrible; we are waiting for more than 2 hours to sing a song, and the DJ just has preferences for people. The DJ would let his friends sing over and over and everyone else has to wait. My friend asked the DJ to play her song after two hours, and he said "No." I don’t recommend this place. Also, they tell you at the entrance that there is a two drink minimum, and every drink costs $9 at least. Probably the worst bar I have been to in LA. Stay away"

"The Brass Monkey is a great place to go when you want to act a little crazy, become a performer, and enjoy life. The crowd is very diverse and the DJ knows how to keep everyone involved with the musical choices between karaoke songs. The food and drinks are nicely priced to where it doesn’t break your budget. Expect to spend around $30-$50 on 2 drinks(alcoholic) along with appetizers. Not bad for a night out. The atmosphere is wild and everyone there is trying to just have a good time and let loose. Definitely recommend going here. Give it a shot."

"I've lived in LA for 7 years and FINALLY went to Brass Monkey! If you only go once, you have to go! It's for sure a unique spot and just about every celebrity has gone here (take a look at all the framed pictures when you go inside). Their drinks are alright (really strong - probably what you need for karaoke! Haha), everyone is having a great time and there's probably not a song out there that they can't get their hands on. Got to see some fights out in the parking lot so that was a nice bonus, haha. All in all if you're looking for an "LA experience", give this place a try!"
