Pretty cool atmosphere

I really liked this place. They had a huge selection of some awesome belgian beers, nice wooden tables and a great tavern style feel all together. The mussels were delicious and I enjoyed the decor as well (Bruegel paintings-very fitting). We sat upstairs. I would have enjoyed a little more elbow room, it was really crowded. Our table was right next to the bar and the people sitting at the counter couldnt back out of their chairs without hitting us :( It didn’t ruin the experience or anything though. It was just kinda odd!

Great beer selection and excellent food

After reading some of the negative reviews...I felt like I should post my recent experience at Monk's. I felt the service was very professional. Both bartenders were pleasant & prompt with service. Perhaps some of the complaining…
