Bad, bad, bad

What to say...? Even for a poser "upscale" pretentious venue this place is a joke. Dead before about 10-11, after then it just gets crowded and you can't sit down. They really need to upgrade their toilet capacities, too small servicing too many people.
I wen't in there expecting tools, overpriced drinks etc. and I wasn't dissapointed. Ridiculous prices for drinks, which I wouldn't have minded so much if they were decent, I expected it, but they where cheap and foul. Pretentious nobodies especially the staff. I mean, you're a bar tender... get over your self.
I really can't think of anything good about this place... Some good looking and well dressed people, some of them seemed ok, but otherwise it's a toolfest. There are much better places to go downtown than this place, trust me.
- Pros: Some good lookers
- Cons: Everything else
Lacking class

Small bar - over priced! After reserving a table for 15-20 people got a 3 man table ($2,400 dollars later!) for new years... is this a joke! I am referring to the upstairs bar, which doesn?t even have its own bathroom. Speaking of which, a bar claiming to be upscale like this should have more than 2 stalls and a man jammed in there to turn the water on for you to wash your hands. I can?t wait till this place inevitably goes out of business!
- Pros: hmm.... nothing
- Cons: hmm... everything

Stopped in for a pre party drink with my sisters bachlorette party and got tugged at by thugs the entire 13 mins we were there. Gross. Our server was rude and the crowd was WHACK.
- Pros: Door guy was cute...but real rude
- Cons: The crowd made me want to send my kids to private school....
Racing like a pss horse

When I drink I urinate alot... I think most people do, and the way that Monarch is designed, and the amount of people that always occupy the long thin corridor of Monarch means that the journey to the bathroom, which is located at the very back, usualy is the only thing I do the whole night... Pushing back and forth. Back and forth. Because by the time I get back to my table I gotta urinate again. Plus the people aint all that tight. Real superficial pretentious types. Music's alright if you only listen to top 20. Dance floor is way too small and has couches lining it... I've decided that unless Jessica Alba herself invites me to Monarch i'm never going again.
- Pros: Nice watches everywhere if you're a pickpocket
- Cons: Pretty much covered it, but drinks ain't that good either
Exclusive Private Entrance? LOL

Read an ad in Westword boasting the Exclusive Private Entrance. Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Having an ad in the Westword takes away from the Exclusiveness and Private? Hmmmmm....not only is it in an alley, its in a smelly alley.
On the subject of smell. Monarck smells like vomitt. I remember in the summer thinking it was an issue but had hoped it would be fixed by Dec.
Not the case.
For a martini bar I was disappointed.
- Pros: Good Location
- Cons: Nothing Private or Exclusive about the venue

Monarck smells and the staff is rude.
Everytime I go there is a fight.
I would rather stay home.
24k advertises an exclusive, private enterance. How exclusive or private can it be if they advertise it in the westword?
- Pros: Good dancing, crowded but good.
- Cons: Thugs are always grabbing at me as I walk by.
A little LA in Denver

Monarck reminds me of a hollywood night club. It feels like Teddy's at The Roosevelt. The staff there are beautiful and extremly nice. The bottle service is amazing and they bring out giant sparklers when I got a bottle of champagne. The prices are so much better then it is in LA. Everytime I go to Monarck I see gorgeous women everywhere!!! This is a place I love to go when I feel like having a hollywood night!
- Pros: Beautiful people, great music, great staff, great drinks!
- Cons: closes at 2am
Great Thursday & Saturday nights

I just recently moved to Denver and did not know where to go out, although I had seen Monarch on Real World and remember how much fun they seemed to be having. A couple of my girlfriends came into town and we went to Monarch on Thursday night and had a BLAST! The drinks were good, the door staff was friendly, management was assertive, and the atmosphere was very enjoyable. We were having so much fun we decided to buy a bottle of champagne. Its hard to explain the presentation, its amazing! You would have to see it for yourself!!!!
Highly recommened this club, have been there the last two Thursdays and Saturdays! I love it!
- Pros: Ambience, Excellent Bottle Service, really fast bartenders, good dj/music
- Cons: Gets a little crowded late, but if you are into that like most of Denver is, you will like it. Hint: Get there earlier and get a bottle!
So much fun!

I am yet to experience some of these bad qualities other members have written about Monarck. I have seen a change in staff and music the past couple times. The last show they had with Kid Dangerous was amazing, you can tell the crowd has changed and it was actually busy by 10pm! I don?t know what these other people are talking about; this is probably the best spot in Denver.
- Pros: Good looking people, Great Music
- Cons: long line without reservations
This place blows...a lot.

I have never gone to this place willingly beyong my first visit. My latest venture was due to a friend of a friend who was out with us who wanted to go dancing. I recommended a ton of other much more acceptable choices: Rock Bar, Crave, but she had to have hip hop...so we ended up there. I can't explain how much distain I hold for this place. The drinks are weak and you can get much tastier and creative martinis at double daughters down the street. I have NEVER heard decent music played here, the people are pretentious with no reason to be...basically filled with sorostitutes and fratdouches. I have yet to talk to someone there who actually had something interesting to say. ...lame lame lame.
- Pros: Coming up blank
- Cons: clientel, drinks, atmosphere, music, people that work there, etc etc etc
