Monkey Brains

About

Monkey Brains is a Syracuse restaurant created in 2022 by the minds behind the Three Lives bar and restaurant group. The menu is a fun and inventive way to eat, built around Brain Bowls for anyone adventurous enough to indulge the senses. It is a playful take on dining.

The Brain Bowl name came from the idea of how wild a mind can be, and a monkey’s mind, naturally, is an unusual, messy and impulsive place to be. The madness of Monkey Brains was born from that thought, and the restaurant plays it up.
