Lunch with wife on a weekday. Not too busy. Have been here before when you can’t get in the door. Good tap selection, mosly belgians, a few ipas. World class bottle list including vitnages of cantillion, russian river, port, lost abbey, germans, english isles, and of course belgium. Both got an order of mussels. Both were tasty. No problems with service. A bit pricey... You are in center city.

Stopped there on a weeknight a while back and had a really lovely meal the best cooked mussels I’ve had. I don’t know many around the country that are put everything together so well. Such an authentic inviting atmosphere for a beer nerd (and his mom!) on a more quite week night for dinner. Spectacular list. I want to go back!

One on Philly’s best I went here nourmerous times and always left happy, and a bit lighter in my wallet. I bit more expensive than Standard Tap or Khyber Pass, but well worth it. IT has 2 bars a front and back, the back bar is super cozy, Eddie is one of the barmen that was a standout, great knowledge and was happy to steer you on a beer voyage while keeping the prices in line. There are some stellar beers here from the house Monks’ Sour Ale, to RR Supplication, the tastes are great but can easily get out of hand drinking 18% World Wide Stout on tap. Food was good on the times, I was there. I had simple Ardennes burger one visit, it was cooked exactly to order. Veal Cheeks, another visit that was just heavenly. If you go to Philly and miss trying Monk’s, you just missed out on a great place,

I love monks. But so does everyone else. Usually packed, and they have gotten very strict with take out. Selection is as good as ever, and Tom is always very welcoming. Events are packed, but stoping in on a Weds afternoon is always a pleasure. Great food, love the small, homey feel.

Went pretty early at around 5 pm. Ok service early on but was only ok as the place got busier. The selection was pretty good, but not special, though it probably has one of the best selections in Philly.
