fun little dive bar with good vibes and the biggest mix of people in the best way possible.
Karaoke and pool table in back

Me and my roommate were having a great time until the clearly drunk bartender kicked us out because we jokeingly said on the mic during karaoke “buy us a drink if we sound good” she pulled us aside calling us disrespectful and unclassy. She made the situation a huge scene when it didn’t have to be. I thought it was unprovoked for a drunk bartender to be pulling me aside. I paid for everything and was a frequent customer but I will unfortunately not be returning.

TLDR; overpriced drinks
We live in the neighborhood and have been curious about this bar for a while. We should have stayed curious. We were in a Negroni kick so decided to grab 2 Negronis, which were served in plastic cups and they were decent. What we were very shocked by was that they were $16 each. $16 for a plastic cup Negroni in a cash only dive bar?! Not for me. I’ll just go across the street to Elsa

Bartender was unprofessional and rude. No reason to talk to two teenage girls the way she did.

Montero’s used to be my favorite bars. I’ve spent thousands of dollars here over the years—on drinks, pool, and karaoke. Nighttime vibes were always solid.
But it’s changed. The Saturday afternoon bartender is regularly late, and I was recently charged $7 for a seltzer water on a $30 tab. When I didn’t tip enough—on overpriced water and bad service—I was called out for it.
If this is how they treat regulars during slow hours, I’m out. Disappointing to see a favorite spot go downhill because of alienating service. I didn’t end up shooting pool, chugged my beers and water to leave as soon as possible and enjoy my time ANYWHERE ELSE

To be fair. The bar seems nice. But I it’s a racist. Im still waiting to sing. I’ve been 4 Thursday and my sounds have been skipped. Im writing this while my song is being skipped.
Montero's is a fun bar which is wild because it hosts karaoke 2 or 3 times a week. I love the vibe here, but when it gets crowded unfortunately it's hard to get a drink because how packed the bar gets. Really great time tho and fun vibes.

I originally gave this spot a 5 star review but I had to bring it down. I’m so sorry. I usually don’t even do reviews. Closed a whole 2 hours earlier. Was told that the times listed online vary? By that much???

Perfect Bar. Has history, character, and charm. Frank McCourt writes of this spot in “Teacher Man” as well as its owner. That owners son, Pepe now captains this institution, and runs a tight ship. One of the only places to get an Estrella … Gallego beer!

I like it there. It’s a classic spot. But….there’s no songs by Pavement for karaoke ?
very rude bartender who seemed to be drunk
