About Monkey Bar on 9
Mi Cocina runs this roof bar on the ninth floor of the Tru by Hilton, where a covered bar with screens opens onto a deck of mustard banquettes and lounge sofas facing the downtown skyline across the freeway. The drinks lean on tequila and mezcal, from top-shelf sipping pours to a jalapeño honey margarita and the chain's frozen Mambo Taxi, and the food is Mi Cocina's Tex-Mex: guacamole, crispy tacos chicos and nachos. Hours run from 4pm on weekdays and 2pm Friday to Sunday, closing at 10pm or 11pm, so it suits sunset rather than late nights. The 4.8 across 385 Google reviews includes a run of same-day posts naming bartenders, but the substance is consistent: attentive service for large groups, strong drinks and a view that anchors birthday gatherings. Private events are hosted too, and dress runs from casual to date-night smart.
