Brooklyn’s Boss of The Blues, Mara Kaye, is “one of New York’s great gifts to the world”. [Jazz Lives] With her larger-than-life presence and “a voice that sounds like Louis Armstrong’s trumpet at a rent party” according to blues legend Jimmy Vivino, she’s stomping her way back to Monk’s to deliver the baddest, bossiest blues she’s got. You will hear a cherry-picked collection of songs originally sung my Blues Queen royalty: Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Memphis Minnie, Billie Holiday & many more letting you know that women truly are the boss !

Come see why The Wall Street Journal calls this vivacious Brooklynite “proof that things are getting better”

Please Note: MONKS JAZZ IS NOW A FULL SERVICE BAR. As part of this transition, Monks Jazz is no longer a BYOB venue. We invite you to enjoy our thoughtfully curated beverage menu and roll with us through the changes! As always, this is a live-taping, so we'll be enforcing a whisper-policy!

Monks is open 6:30 PM for a new Happy Half Hour, featuring $2 off of our Classic and Signature Cocktails, $2 off Glasses of Wine, and $1 off of our Beer Menu between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM. Join us for a drink, or come at your scheduled seating time! We'll have a wonderful evening planned ahead!
