I really like this place and have been going since it opened. It’s really busy on the weekends now so I would avoid it. Food is good, some dishes are excellent including the pizza. Burgers are decent. Beer selection is average, doesn’t change much but I love the Cardinal Sin and the Triteca. Very good stuff. Wouldn’t recommend a growler from here though, just never lasts and is flat right away. Worth trying....

House brews are okay but not great. The ambiance is nice and classy the staff is very friendly. My glass was not empty for long. The food was very good. The beer selection was decent, the pricing was a touch high. Easy access to I-90.

Microbrewery that has an awesome Oatmeal Stout worth trying there and getting some for home!

We stopped in for "brunch" early on a Sunday. The decor was typical upscale suburban with lots of TVs. (not a good thing in my opinion) We sat at the bar so we could be closer to the beer. The bartender, Lauren, was attentive and helpful. There weren’t many people at the time, but she took good care of us throughout the day even as the lunch crowd came in. The Lucky Monk has six house beers on tap and another half dozen others. They also have a nice selection of unusual beers in bottles. The only macro brew that I saw was Miller Lite and it was in a bottle only. Good thing they didn’t waste a tap on it. The prices on the beer were on the high side, but that was not surprising for the area. They did have a sampler of the six beers for $8. The bartender was also willing to give away small tastes if you asked. The beer was served VERY cold, but at least the glass was not chilled. I just let each pour warm up to my preferred temperature. The food is nothing special. I have tried the pizza and the burgers. Overall, I had a good time with the Monk. The beers were good, but not exceptional. The atmosphere was a little sterile, but still enjoyable. Many of the people we talked to at the bar were either coming or going to the nearby AMC theater. I will probably be coming back to The Lucky Monk in the future.
