Montey’s Moan
This bar is truly crap and empty most of the time. it’s staff are rude and it serves the worst cocktails I have ever had in my whole life. If I want to pay that much for a crap cocktail I’ll go to the Living room or Capital (at least the staff are friendly!). Also the music is cheesy popular stuff, that could hardly be classed as ‘rock’. Avoid this place at all costs!

In response to your comment “how can it call itself a Rock cafe when it plays the shit that it does?”- umm do you mean the off the beaten track, acoustic sounds from Metallica? Or the rock and blues of the great Eric Clapton? Or was it the softer U2 and Dire Straits tracks?
Just so you know and I am not trying to be sexist here, just honest, the softer tracks are there so that the music does not frighten the girl friends away. Most of whom will run a mile rather than listen to some good wholesome LOUD ROCK!
You should try visiting Montey’s when it is not so busy, you might actually get a feel for the place. The staff are quite friendly although one girl that works behind the bar can be a bit brash with customers at times.
I don’t work there. I unlike you actually have made an effort to get to know the place. There are things I like about it and there are things I don’t but, at least unlike someone who is not just an opinionated inexperienced know it all, I dont go and write a place up after one visit.

I think you will find that the review was based more around the drinks that the bar offers rather than an critique of the actual place itself. The whole point of reviewing places is to give your personal opinion rather than trying to please the masses, so okay you don’t seem to agree with Lucy but this doesn’t make it any less of a review.
These words obviously mean something Kevin if they have enraged you to the point where you feel it necessary to come here and write a comment.
