A new cocktail bar is opening in Glens Falls.

The Golden Monkey will hold a soft opening on Friday night.

The business has set up shop in the former home of Glens Falls Bagels on south street.

The Golden Monkey said it will have a social and relaxing atmosphere, where people can try new specialty cocktails and enjoy friendly competition with their selection of board games. The bartenders will also be competing.

Each week there will be a cocktail challenge where bartenders will create drinks and customers decide who made the best creation.

The lounge will be open Friday to Tuesday, 5 p.m. to midnight.

The kitchen closes at 11.
