Plot Synopsis

MIAMI MONKEY is a one-hour reality series that follows MOB WIVES' Big Ang and her crew at the Miami Monkey, her new bar in Miami Beach. Big Ang heads to the sizzling south to make her mark on the Miami party scene by opening up the second outpost of her infamous Staten Island bar, The Drunken Monkey, on the second floor of the Netherland on Ocean Drive. To ensure the success of Miami Monkey as the newest South Beach hotspot, Ang enlists the help of a crew of Staten Island beauties and SoBe hotties to come along for the ride. Her crew includes: Raquel, her 28-year-old daughter and partner in the Miami Monkey, who is the brains behind the operation and is known as The Warden because she runs a tight ship -- even though she's only there on weekends because she's back in NYC during the week for her 9-to-5 job; Roxanne, Raquel's close friend and Big Ang's 27-year-old niece (by marriage), who left her job managing her husband's construction business in Staten Island to help her Aunt Ang open the Miami Monkey, running the bar when Raquel is away; Ryan, Raquel's 26-year-old best friend, who is a bartender longing for the finer things in life and is in Miami, because at the end of the day, she is one of the best bartenders Big Ang knows; Marissa, Raquel's 29-year-old friend, who owns a clothing boutique in Brooklyn and who dresses provocatively to show off her body and indulge in the nightlife; Gabby, the 20-year-old girlfriend of Big Ang's son AJ, who is leaving her boyfriend behind in NYC and hopes to cement her place in the family by helping to launch Big Ang and Raquel's new business; Morgan, a 23-year-old Miami local, who works at Mansion, the hottest club in town, when she's not at the Miami Monkey and who appeared in Season 5 of BAD GIRLS CLUB; Cristina, a 27-year-old Miami local and former Hooters Swimsuit Calendar girl, who tends bar at Hooters and Waxy O'Connors when she's not a bartender at the Miami Monkey and who is not afraid to verbally spar with girls, bouncers and anyone who gets in the way of a good time; and Nate Ryan, a 26-year-old bartender-slash-DJ-slash-model-slash-music producer from Miami, who splits his time behind the bar and the DJ booth at the Miami Monkey and who has the girls lined up around the block to get their hands on his tanned and tattooed body.
