According to its Instagram, the popular Merchantville bar and restaurant announced it would reopen under new ownership on Tuesday, August 16th.
Longtime patrons were reassured by the new owners (Michael Chapman, Remo Croce, Marci Chapman, and Lindsay Croce) that many of the Monkey’s signature items would remain, while a few new things were on the way, too. Daily menu and beer specials among them.
The interior and outside dining area will receive updates and improvements, including an outdoor bar, which promises to liven up the community. The 2nd floor will also be open for dining in a few weeks. Sounds like it will be even more happening than before.
Looking forward to seeing The Blue Monkey 2.0. Stay tuned for more coverage!
