Editorial Review for Monroe's Bar--CLOSED – by Patrick Green
The Scene
A far cry from its dive days as J. Sloans, this renovated cocktail lounge has been retro-fitted in Rat Pack-era cool with zebra, blue, pink color schemes, plush booths, intimate lighting and a top-shelf bar. The building's original stairway leads up to two glass-encased rooms with flat-screen TVs, slick wood floors and sloping chairs. DJs spin everything from swing to soul, while live jazz bands entertain on Sundays. The leisurely atmosphere lures young professionals and flamboyant artists from the nearby Pacific Design Center.
The Draw
There's definitely some swagger here, but surprisingly little attitude. The classy-yet-freewheeling vibe combined with the absence of a guest list or cover charge makes it ideal for grabbing an after-work drink, romancing a date or catching the game on the bar's pull-down screen.

We had a private party here. Not only did they open early for us, but they could not have been more accommodating! The bartenders were fast and didn't have attitudes. The d.j. played great music. The managers gave us their cell phones to call them in their office in case we needed anything. All 100 people had a blast! They don't serve food, but we were allowed to bring in our own. I would recommend Monroe's to anybody throwing a party!
Pros: Service, attitude, atmosphere
