Party Earth Review: Possibly the wildest karaoke bar in LA, Caffé Brass Monkey is a magnet for rambunctious spotlight hoggers who love to get wasted and belt out 80s power ballads. Packed with scruffy artsy types and yuppies, this dimly-lit den with its low slanted ceiling, which evokes a cozy ski lodge atmosphere, features a layout that ensures all eyes will be on the makeshift dance floor and stage in the back. Groups of work colleagues and birthday parties crowd in early to prime themselves for the coming late-night frenzy with cheeky drinks like the Horny Monkey Martini, and to take up their posts in the big leather chairs or at the scattered tables. In the lull before the karaoke storm, the t-shirt-and-jean-clad patrons might notice the celebrity photos or Family Guy paraphernalia tacked along the wood-paneled walls, but once the tipsy singing starts, the only things distinctly visible are the lyrics on the TVs and the neon beer signs. After two or three collective rounds, the place inevitably turns into a drunken, flirty mess, where even the most buttoned-down middle-management types find time between swigs and tired pick-up lines to loosen their ties and bumble through “Don’t Stop Believing.” Anyone venturing a night at Caffé Brass Monkey will want to bring a camera along – otherwise, the hours of screaming into a mic, dancing on stage with strangers, and flirting with anything that moves will be nothing more than a fuzzy memory.

Tip from Emma:

“Make sure you get your song requests to the DJ by 11pm, or you probably won’t make it to the stage.”
