I had a great time there. Played pool with a lady who worked there (she won). Music was to my taste and they also do karaoke. Fun place to be.

Great bar with a jukebox and an amazing bartender. Kaddy is the best!!! Matt is a man with tons of information and is always willing to talk. Karaoke on Wednesdays and cheap beers all the time. Bring your own food as they don't have a grill but who cares, you're amongst great company!

Original, old-school Brooklyn bar. Hip before hipsters were hip. Don't bother asking what's on tap because they don't have them. Bottles of beer with no nonsense, but the owner and bar staff are welcoming and chatty with anyone. They make you feel like a local within minutes. Don't assume the 'bar and grill' on the signage means anything more than just 'bar'.

I don't think this place serves food anymore. I am always in for a good cash bar that is run by a family. The family is at the bar, and they want you to enjoy yourself. The drinks are reasonably priced in a part of Brooklyn that seems to be going upscale quickly.

Montero's is a fun bar which is wild because it hosts karaoke 2 or 3 times a week. I love the vibe here, but when it gets crowded unfortunately it's hard to get a drink because how packed the bar gets. Really great time tho and fun vibes.

TLDR; overpriced drinks We live in the neighborhood and have been curious about this bar for a while. We should have stayed curious. We were in a Negroni kick so decided to grab 2 Negronis, which were served in plastic cups and they were decent. What we were very shocked by was that they were $16 each. $16 for a plastic cup Negroni in a cash only dive bar?! Not for me. I’ll just go across the street to Elsa

Me and my roommate were having a great time until the clearly drunk bartender kicked us out because we jokeingly said on the mic during karaoke “buy us a drink if we sound good” she pulled us aside calling us disrespectful and unclassy. She made the situation a huge scene when it didn’t have to be. I thought it was unprovoked for a drunk bartender to be pulling me aside. I paid for everything and was a frequent customer but I will unfortunately not be returning.

Montero’s used to be my favorite bars. I’ve spent thousands of dollars here over the years—on drinks, pool, and karaoke. Nighttime vibes were always solid. But it’s changed. The Saturday afternoon bartender is regularly late, and I was recently charged $7 for a seltzer water on a $30 tab. When I didn’t tip enough—on overpriced water and bad service—I was called out for it. If this is how they treat regulars during slow hours, I’m out. Disappointing to see a favorite spot go downhill because of alienating service. I didn’t end up shooting pool, chugged my beers and water to leave as soon as possible and enjoy my time ANYWHERE ELSE

To be fair. The bar seems nice. But I it’s a racist. Im still waiting to sing. I’ve been 4 Thursday and my sounds have been skipped. Im writing this while my song is being skipped.

Review

I have been here several times. During Covid was better. But the old lady short bartender hates everyone and the lady running karaoke yelled at us for putting two names. A duet. And for putting a very popular song she “didn’t have”. Bad vibes at this place. Another bartender clearly tweaking as well. Used to be good but old grumps and annoying Broadway show kids singing now. Nope

This space is not meant for people of color! My friends and I had to learn the hard way, as we were accused of stealing “karaoke forms”… the only way to receive karaoke forms is by buying drinks; we had bought 3 shots. The owner of the bar stated after accusing us of stealing said forms: “I own this place I can do what I want, if you don’t like it then get out” she wanted us out way prior to the accusation and it is so sad that blatant racism like this is still happening !!!! Seriously, why would we go behind a bar to steal small green pieces of paper, to then place our names on it and sing on a mic… it’s laughable! The real issue was the color of our skin ! We spent money there and we’re basically told to leave and we couldn’t even enjoy our night! Please if you are a person of color, DO NOT go here!
