Monsters cafe permanently closed

[keishashadow]

in operation since 1998, closed to “make way for a new dining experience,” Universal said.

No details were shared about the dining experience replacing it.

wonder where they will recommend HHN day tours dine now?

Oh no! Sad about this.
I love that place!

 

[FoxC63]

Oh no! We were planning on going there this fall!
Grrrr, darn it!

So sad, but I do wonder if it will resurrect itself in Epic Universe

That's a good point because Classic Monsters is one of the miniparks in Epic Universe (or it was rumoured to be last time I checked). It may be the reason they closed it is that they do not want to have similar places in two different parks.

Hearing from all the rumor boards/vlogs that they are expecting it to become a Minions Cafe.

Wonder if they will do the super silly fun land like in USH

I've been telling one of my friends for years that they need to have a Minion themed stand for breakfast type grab and go things focusing on banana based items like banana muffins, banana bread, and strawberry banana smoothies.

They had finally gotten it right by choosing the Monsters Cafe for the lunch last year on the 6 house Unmasking the Horror Tour. The vibe was perfect for HHN. Food was never very good though, but much better then previous years options.

Hopefully they will save the props for something bigger and better.

So sad! It is one of my fav places to go when it is open. So many times it has been closed. Outside of HP, it is the best themed restaurants!

I hate they didn’t announce a close date coming soon instead of just closing.

Your photos are so impressive, thanks for sharing!
My favorite is the upside down Dracula chair

Thank you.

I liked the upside down Drac chair too. Whoever thought of that was a genius.

So disappointing. We have always loved Monster Cafe.

 

[Planogirl]

I believe that with good food this place could have been super popular. I don't understand why Universal is so inept when it comes to the classic monsters.

 

[gharter]

It was closed last month when we were there.

 

[Pooh's World]

I hope they move the staff somewhere else and didn't let them go.

 

[mamamelody2]

Well. We were planning to go on our trip in 2 weeks. Guess not!

Really a shame it was so well themed. If they couldn't figure the food out I always thought that place could have made a pretty cool table service restaurant with a proper menu. No idea how the kitchen was setup or if it could support that but they could have expanded that out to where they have the heat lamps etc now if not. Have servers in costume with facts about the movies/items throughout each section.
