Can't say enough about this place and the music 🎶 and cheap drinks, no cover. You'll not find a better trad bluegrass session in New York on a Monday night!!

Mona’s is a great place to visit and experience in this part of Manhattan just off Tompkins Square Park. They have great music and the prices for drinks are the best you will find in New York.

Most of the crowd are locals. Loved it!…

We stayed a longer time to sit-in, but still enjoyed the variety of people who came to share their talents.…
