About
Monkey Thief is a pan Asian cocktail bar in Hell’s Kitchen that treats drinks like food, balancing salt, acid, spice, and sweetness instead of leaning on sugar. It comes from the team behind Sama Street in Greenpoint, and the menu pulls flavors from across Asia, think Thai, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese references turned into cocktails that feel playful but still properly dialed in. Go with a curious palate, order a couple of small plates alongside your round, and it becomes an easy stop before a show or after work without the Times Square chaos.
