Twisted Monkey, Watford

Now renamed Twisted Monkey. It's a late night dance/cocktail bar, that may have some links to the nightclub next door. Table tennis & beer pong tables feature.

Used to be called Baraka and had a Moroccan theme to it. Now changed its name to Bed and it has some impressive décor with large stone urns all over the place and a couple of big tiger statues. It’s a large space that is split up well with columns, raised areas and bead curtains providing areas that I imagine they will reserve for groups. This does give it the feel of a lap dancing bar which, despite there being a couple in the area, it isn’t. The main theme seems to be graffiti with most of the walls covered in murals and other daubings. Target market is clearly the late night revellers and it looks like a decent venue. I called in on a Saturday afternoon and they were showing the World Cup game on three TV screens. Standard lagers plus a Gaymers Cider and an impressive array of spirit bottles.
