    Why go

    Bar Monto is worth considering for a casual East Village drinks night, especially if the plan is pints, martinis, and simple bar food around $45 per person. Treat it as an upscale Irish bar rather than a destination dinner: good for walk-in flexibility and group energy, less suited to wine-focused dining or formal occasions.
