The World's End - Philadelphia

Long bar and tight space. If you want a table, I would recommend going as a party of 3. Otherwise they will have no issue placing you on the small side/corner tables or the end of a larger party. There are TWO bars and service is prompt and hot food. Variety of foods including some veggie options. I enjoyed the smoked trout. My wife does not eat fish and she enjoyed the chicken burger. I had the mussels Alagash. Probably the lowest flavored ones of the bunch. Many many given and prepared well. All come with deliciously seasoned French fries. Them alone are worth the 5 stars. I would come back again definitely. The beer selection is huge! They do not take reservations come to sit at he bar, party of 3 or more or be ready to sit in a tight cramped space as a single or party of 2.

Outstanding! You want a cool atmosphere and live beer. This is the place to go! Bartender Cass was awesome! Really knew his stuff and great hospitality! Eclectic menu ! Had the Chicken liver moose that was awesome! I call it the poor man's Foi Gras! Will definitely return follow me @discoverdinedrink !

This place is simply amazing and my favorite in Philly, I always come here and don't get tired of it. The beer, burger, mussels, service, ambience amazing. I love this place.

Monk 's Cafe is a Belgian-inspired restaurant with great food and a huge beer selection. I 'm not a fan of beer, but I have heard great things about what they offer! I came here for the mussel pots, and they were really good! Great portions that are perfect for sharing. We got 2 flavors: the Monk 's (garlic and parsley) and Thai curry. The baguette on the side soaks up all the delicious flavors left in the pot. It also comes with a side of skinny fries. We also got the mushroom pappardelle, which featured 4-5 different mushrooms and this delicious creamy sauce. The pasta was super flavorful and quite light, which was nice. This place definitely gets busy and they don 't do reservations, so expect to wait a decent while. Service was a little slow due to the volume, but that was to be expected!

This is like I said in my last two reviews, one of the best bars in the entire city of Philadelphia. I will say that the bartender this time I think was a little bit new. At first, he was a little cagey but once he warmed up to us, he ended up being very nice. I think he just realized that we were restaurant hopping he might've been a little annoyed with one of my guest bc she moved a table too close to our other table. Anyway, everything was absolutely fantastic and I absolutely recommend Monks. Pro tip just make sure that you're extra friendly to the bartenders they don't like tourists. Also, they are CLOSED Mondays. I only give four stars this time bc the bt/server was a little bit rude. But like I said, he ended up being alright once he realized that we are excellent tippers.
