The best bar that ever existed. Those of us who grew up in Brooklyn have nothing but respect for this place. I define great bars by the amount of time you can sit at a bar and be completely content. My record is 7 hours. My dad had his last drink here. This place is home. For those of you that didnt grow up here: You all need to show more respect here. I'm glad that this place makes you feel like you are a Brooklyn OG. You are not. You "Fishermans Beanie, Frye Boots, $250 Henley, and Aviators" type boys need to simmer down. Drink your drink. Tip your bartenders. Respect the locals.

Lmao at Yelp putting 'Ambiance' as one of the buzzwords to go along with this review. I love this place, but it is not where you go for the traditional thought behind dining or imbibing 'ambiance'. It's a real, amazing dive that also happens to have karaoke and a pool table in the back. If I lived back in BK Heights, it would definitely be a go-to. Also the bartenders and owner are super nice!!

I really love this bar! So cozy and the karaoke aspect makes it so much fun and laidback. Bartenders are really sweet folk. Please note the hours on google or yelp might not be updated. As of Jan 2022 they are open every single day from 2pm - 2am! 10/10 recommend to come here to chill and have a good drink :) Thanks Montero for being my favorite neighborhood bar after moving to Brooklyn!

Montero's! Karaoke with AMETHYST (lovely host with killer vocals). Need I say more. A friend of ours was having a birthday and we had to trek it do some hidden bar in Brooklyn Heights. My friend described this place as "aquatic themed" and a "dive". Two of my favorite words when combined together. I salivate at the thought of an old man bar and then you put karaoke in the mix like the cherry on top. We arrived around 9pm. Turns out this was the smartest move. Later I saw groups of people and even birthday people get turned away by the charming door guy "Pepe" while "Matthew" tried to woo me. The karaoke is done in the tiniest part of the bar. I suggest you'd stand in an angle to let people go to the bathroom but also leave room for "Sonya" to bus tables and get to the bar and still see the karaoke list. Back to Amethyst. You gotta write down the song you want to sing. If it's not in the computer then Amethyst will call you back to put in a new song. You get a song with every drink you order. If you are doing a duet then you hand the mic to the person who's being invited to sing. This is the rule. The name on the slip is the person that hands the mic. Don't forget. The main mic has the red tape. DON'T PUT DRINKS DOWN ON AMETHYST'S TABLE. At the bar, Kaddy is slinging drinks but will take a quick break to sing some Alanis Morisette. Everyone here is down for the wild ride! The beers are $4 for pbr and with a tequila shot it's $11. So pick your liquid courage wisely. This place is over 80 years old. The staff was really the best part, followed by the decor. The crowd is a young, finance, fresh out of grad school types and some older regulars sprinkled in. Maybe they come on the non-karaoke nights. It's CASH ONLY. Almost $3 for the ATM.
