With its diverse range of bar environments, The Brass Monkey has often been identified as a venue suffering from 'an acute case of multiple personality disorder'.

It's main bar, for instance, has all the charm of a classic Australian gentleman with its heady mixture of brass fittings, wooden paneling and checkered floors, infused with the smell of hand-crafted beer.

The outside courtyard, on the other hand, is a more stylish contemporary soul populated by Raffia palms, plasma screens and stainless steel furniture: a haven for global traveller’s trying to find their place in the world and corporate executives trying to hide from it.

Follow the sound of clapping and cheering and you’ll find yet another Monkey Bar personality - the Sports Bar. A cozy but dynamic character where sports fans can pay homage to their favorite team in the sanctity of their favorite public lounge room: complete with high-pitched ceilings, chesterfield lounges and 50” plasma screens linked to Bose surround sound speakers.

So how does The Brass Monkey cope with the quirks of a fractured personality.... if the contentment of our patrons is anything to go by, very well indeed.
