The Powder Monkey, Greenwich

Having read a few of these reviews its quite obvious that most have a bias view point on the fact they were a big fan of "The Cricketers". This is about "The Powder Monkey". The Cricketers is no longer relavant.

The Powder Monkey is Greenwich's PREMIER GAY bar. It features the only real dance floor in Greenwich, and has a different atmosphere on every floor. On the ground floor we have a typical bar atmosphere where everyone chats to each other, can have a seat and its generally really vibrant on a busy night. Then theres the dance floor which gives the bar a club atmosphere, with top DJs playing each weekend, and then theres the relaxed atmosphere in the lounge bar where people can just enjoy a drink.

The decor on each floor is different, and is quite frankly incredible. Imagine a classy bar in Central landing in the heart of Greenwich. The entire venue looks like a great deal of money and effort has been spent in making it look and feel great. And with no entrance fee I think your getting your moneys worth when you go for anight out there.

For people trying to connect this bar to a "pub". Well, pub does not nearly justify it. Pubs are traditional and old. This is new and funky. Its a bar, and on weekends its a bar/club. Where else in Greenwich will you find similar? No where. Because quite frankly there is nothing in Greenwich that even begins to compete with the Powder Monkey.

But hey, dont just take my word on it. Go see it for yourself! Most of these reviews sound like simple attacks from people bitter at losing their local traditional pub, and I feel are totally misplaced here. Dont let them deter you from trying out this great venue!
