What Rick Hadsall likes about Monk's Cafe:
One of the original legendary beer bars still brings the quality after all these years. Monk's, specializing in Belgian beer and food, is fabulous. Cozy atmosphere, great food, and quality beers. Service is excellent and informed beer recommendations are spot on. Frites are well spiced and excellent. A must visit in Philly. View all feedback. What Wilson Jernigan doesn't like about Monk's Cafe:
Food was incredible, Beer was good. Might be a trans safe space, but isn't a wallet safe space. Dropped my wallet, went to the bathroom came back to the table cleaned and the wallet gone from underneath. Either the waiter or the busboy snagged it. Wish they would've just taken the 80 bucks and left the wallet. Won't be back but it's a shame because the food and beer was great! View all feedback.

Monk's cafe knocks it out of the parkThis is a charming Belgian style restaurant that has two bars and an amazing tap list.
Super busy place and for a reason.
