Monkey Magic Darlinghurst

Had the pleasure of attending the grand opening and hues of red and dim lighting set a tone of elegance, chillaxation and cosiness. Strategically placed tables, couches and lounges dominate the main bar area and at the other end of the cute space is a dance floor to work off those Asian themed snacks. $8 plates keep things simple and uncomplicated. From the Prawn & Veg dumplings to the succulent fillings of their hand made pork buns to the loaded fries with peanut sauce and crispy shallots - basic needs for the meat and vegetarian eaters are satisfied because its ALL about working your moves on the dance floor and the awesome cocktail range. The CHAIRMAN’S SOUR is a concotion of spiced rum, lemon, vanilla and angostura bitters. It’s an inviting drink of spiked that goes down the trap smoothly. The GEISHA is bound to be another favorite. It’s a softer blend of Beluga Vodka, Lychee Liqueur, Lemon and Rose. It’s a sweet love potion that goes down a little too easily - very dangerous and inevitably leads to a memorable night! Great service, run by a friendly bunch of personable lads, it’s convenient location, relaxed vibe guarantees it to become an essential stop up at the Cross. Head to the coke sign and hang a right and there you will find the magic!

Amazing bar and restaurant in the heart of Darlinghurst / Kings Cross area. Super cool vibe, Chinese street food menu is ridiculously delicious (try the Mr Ong's loaded fries with Peanut Sauce!!) and gyozas are delicious too. One of the few bars open till 3am still too so great place to kick on and party once all the other places shut

Great atmosphere, I didn't try the dumplings but there were people at the front eating and at the back dancing. Dance floor is small so if you expect to take all your friends out be mindful that this isn't a night club. The music is good but I left because the DJ that came on wasn't playing my style. Still a great place to hang out. The worst cocktail I tried was the smokey rose Martini neither of my two friends who got the drink with me could drink it! We did however love the lychee cocktail!
