Monk's Pub

This is a great local pub. It is an independent small business with a very friendly staff. I had their maple beer. It was extremely delicious. It is the kind of beer you want to sip slowly with a nice conversation. I also had an extremely good hamburger. They are know for there burgers. If you are looking for an early evening tavern in downtown Chicago try this one.

I had a layover with Amtrak and I couldn’t find anything open! I happened upon this pub and am so grateful. Outstanding service from the male server with lots of tattoos…he had like 10+ tables and didn’t break a sweat. Food was so good; I had the bison burger with a caesar salad and drank the house cab. Loved the ambiance and decor and service and food/drink was excellent.

Great old school pub with a ton of beers, whiskeys, and lots of food options to suit a ton on your bar needs. The staff is always friendly and it's usually not very busy, so it's perfect for an after work drink.

We always love coming here. They usually have some great beer on tap including a lot of my favorite: Belgians. The burgers are great. This time around we got the Monk’s Cobb salad minus the olives and it was really really good. We also ordered the loaded tots which were good but needed more spices. Maybe salsa? Something anyway. The evening we were there they had a glass etching event for New Belgium. So we got two glasses with the Monk’s pub logo on it. Super fun. The atmosphere can get a bit loud but hey, that’s a bar. There are some neat little bookshelf nooks to sit in. We would highly recommend this place!

I feel like "pub" undersells the Monk's Pub. This place is great! The servers and bartenders are super on top of it for how busy of a place this is. The food is decent but the real winner is their extensive beer selection. If you like Belgian beers or any beer really, you can't go wrong here.

Really cool lil pub. Lots of European beers plus plenty of American beers as well. I had the chicago poutine that was very good but very hot with the hot giardiniera peppers.

Excellent service. Excellent beer selection. Excellent food. Had some beers at the bar and got my burger to go. Next time I'm in Chicago, I'll be back.

Thank you for having a nitro oatmeal stout! Enjoyed that with some tots and barbecue sauce. The sauce was house made and delicious, and the tots were fresh from the fryer. Great atmosphere.

Was visiting Chicago to see an old friend of mine from college and we popped in here to avoid getting battered by rain. Decided to stay after a quick survey of the menu, and ended up very happy with our decision. Beer selection was good and the food was delicious. Felt cozy inside, and staff were helpful and friendly throughout our visit.

What’s not to like? Great atmosphere, great beers on tap, great food, great waitress. Wouldn’t hesitate to stop back in next time I’m back in Chicago!
