A lot of nonsense gets written about this bar, as a recent poster has pointed out. The Bad Monkey is popular with residents and visitors for all the right reasons -- good music, friendly vibe, and great baguettes.

Everyone who writes about this place either romanticises it or condemns it. It's just a good, small
local bar; there's always a lively crowd, the owners are welcoming and the music is great.

I can say that I've been a customer of The Bad Monkey for nearly 2 years now.During my 1st visit to this establishment I meet one of the now ex owners.It was a very basic place not much to say about it other than a few couches,decent music and a small selection of beer.Since September of 05 a new partner came into the picture and it has greatly improved.Everytime I visit the owners revovate something to make it better.They also now serve great snack and sandwhiches and have a large variety of beers and liquors.The staff is some of the best people I have met in my travels.They are very friendly and can always make you laugh with a good joke or funny story.This is one place I always look forward to visiting when I come to Dali.It is a great place to meet other travellers and some of the locals.I highly recommend visiting this establishment for a beer or some food or just to relax after a day of going around Lake Erhi or the mountain in Dali.
