Monte Vista Cocktail Lounge — Restaurant in Flagstaff

As a bar, it's nice. Honestly a little nicer than I care for personally, but I like a dive bar. This place definitely isn't a dive bar at all, but I could see myself going here on a quiet night for a good cocktail. Given the college-student clientele, I would assume that it gets packed on Fridays and Saturdays which also isn't my personal preference

As a karaoke spot, it's a hard pass. First, there was no energy in the room for it at all - nobody cared there was karaoke going on. If I wanna sing to a dead room, I'll go sing in my closet. Second, I hate the ticket sign-up system anywhere I go; like I wanna talk to the host and make sure they have my song and see how long the line is. Third, the place is kinda too nice for karaoke. The karaoke vibe doesn't match the atmosphere at all. Feels weird singing there, I left after one drink

So, as a bar I'd give it five stars. As a karaoke place, I give it one star. I think a 3 star...

We just had a crazy experience in this place. i’ve never seen anything like it. At 1:55 am on 6.19 a black male security person and extremely intoxicated caucasian female employee started yelling at the top of their lungs that we all had ten seconds to get out.

We never said a word and were totally respectful and peaceful. last call came and we were given a drink. hadn’t even recess our check and these two idiots starting yelling. I’ve never seen anything like it. I spent about 400 in two nights for myself and three staff members. We will never go back. The head security guy was very respectful and also apologized saying he had no idea what was happening! We will never go back that was...

I stayed at the Monte Vista on 12/27/08 in the Debbie Reynolds room. The room is right by the elevator which kind of sucks because you can hear people coming and going. Pretty much everything you read about the Monte Vista being noisy is true. The bar was really crowded and the music was bumpin for sure. I'm really glad we were on the third floor so we had a bit more distance between us and the bar. You could definitely hear people coming out of the bar and shouting until 2:30 in the morning. The train is only 2 blocks away and you can hear it loud and clear like every half hour. We had to park in the underground parking structure in across the street which cost 10 bucks which wasnt bad but you should figure it into your costs. If you have problems getting to sleep and dealing with noise this is not the place for you. If you're young and want to party then you'll have...
