BaksOctober 8, 2011Get the buffalo-style frog's legs. You will not regret it. And try the Tilquin Gueuze!
CitySolveNovember 28, 2011There's actually a beer book. Don't forget to order the fries and the bourbon mayo.
Mike TaylorFebruary 18, 2010Best Mussels in the city. Greatest Belgian Beer Bar in the City, or maybe the whole country. If you like beer, you will love Monk's!
HeyphillySeptember 22, 2011Is that Max Von Sydow next to me? Seriously, Monk’s Café probably the very best atmosphere for winter; I feel like I’m in the foothills of Germany, escaping some evil Count.
Every time I go here, I’m amazed at the beer list all over again.
They need to add the option to get double dipping sauce with the frittes!
Stephen L.November 5, 2012If you don't spend more on beer than on food when dining here, you're doing something wrong
back bar is where i like to sit. laid back bartenders, good fries!
Taryn ZychalOctober 1, 2010The seitan meatball dish is vegan and amazingly filling. Don't knock it til you've tried it
MazdaNovember 8, 2010Monks burger and Monks mussels are delicious. Their beer selection is worth checking out.
Sergio AvilesAugust 19, 2010Home of the absolutely best mussels I've ever had. Plus, the best beer selection in town.
Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 3, 2012Because when that bus drove through it last year, our first worry was actually the beer collection.
Sofia PapastamelosJuly 17, 2016Good selection of beers. Staff is kind of meh. Won't let you sit down if you aren't eating and no samples of the beers.
