Amazing lunch spot . Burgers are all fantastic. Pop on over on a Friday and have a beer from the extensive menu with your meal. Great food great service and an Irish pub atmosphere.

Nathan Mitre

Very loud & busy during the Friday lunch rush, but great food at decent prices and like the vegetarian options :D

Bill Peeler

Hell of a lot nicer to our party of 3 than 'Tradition', which is back around the corner on Franklin. There's a reason this place has been around forever - go there for the drinks, stay for the great

Natalie Marioni

Unbelievable beer selection ! Nice option to have a flight to try something new! Friendly and helpful service . Bartendress knows her stuff!

Shycu

Only stayed for one beer on St Patrick's Day. The place was packed. They didn't have Guinness so I had Breck Stout instead. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked yummy so I gotta get back.

If you're here, it's because you heard the food is great (particularly the burgers ). You heard right. I've never had a meal at Monk's I didn't like. Pretty good beer menu too. Nice Friday lunch spot .

Christopher Floss

Great German/Bavarian feel to this place! Had a good German wiessbier on draft . Tons of other options for those who like specialty beers from all parts of the world.

Zach Daniel

Such a strange little wooden pub nestled right next to a bunch of huge skyscrapers . Excellent selection of craft beers , with a bunch on draught .

Ben Alton

Their blackened chicken sandwich with pepper jack is awesome. I'm not nuts about the burgers , but their chili is also excellent here. Give it a try. One of my favorite after work spots in Chicago

Samir Nazir

stellar selection of Belgians and knowledgeable staff

Staying at the Allegro I was going to the Randolph Tavern every night & hating life. Then I found Monk. My people! Good food, great people!

John Khuu

Surprisingly popular place in the loop. Eat the peanuts and literally throw it on the floor, no joke. Everyone does it and it's fun.

Jordan Bishopp

Fun place, great burgers ! Good beer list with some unique options. Gets packed after work so get there early!

Bobby Kennedy

Great selection of beers , both in bottle and on tap . Can be rowdy post-work but chills out later on.

Jerry Sanchez

My favorite bar “bar ”

Great selection of craft beers , and free peanuts , what else do you need?

Bill Goeke

Love the Macaroni and Cheese Bites ...but am disappointed in the ranch. I would venture to guess it is straight from a bottle.

Angela

Service with a smile. Also quite the tasty cajun burger and you can't go wrong with the curly fries . Next time bring all your friends for a great happy hour good time.

Not only do they have an amazing selection of beer but they also have a library !

I had a very dry burger here. The place itself is from another time - in an almost fabulous way.

Carlos McReynolds

They make some excellent fries

ISC Chicago

Fine for lunch , very rowdy after work; careful of the peanut shells if you're allergic to peanuts

Raven

Great Burgers !!! Try the California Burger !

Curtis Hiller

Used to love this place, but as they've gotten more pretentious (no Miller/Bud/Coors) the service has gotten more greedy and less attentive. Also: the cheese curds are a huge disappointment.

Place wss slammed on st Patrick's, waitress still served food and split tabs
