    Monks is a pop-up jazz listening room that hosts a variety of acts at Topology. Featuring a 5'7" 1946 Knabe Grand Piano, backline, custom made furniture, bar menu, and whisper-policy, this experience is aiming straight for the small jazz listening rooms of NYC and beyond.

    There are plenty of venues to have a conversation across a table, but Monks is not that place! As such, we enforce a strict whisper-policy during performances out of respect to our audience and the performers.
