MASK UP FOR INDOOR DINING
UPDATE August 11, 2021:
We are following Philadelphia's latest mandate that everyone wear a face mask while in public indoor facilites. Our entire crew will be wearing face masks and we ask you to please wear your mask anytime you are not seated.
Dust off your old mask or buy a fresh one so you can Mask Up to join us at Monk's Café. Thank you, as always, for your continued cooperation.
UPDATE April 20, 2021:
Monk's is now OPEN for indoor dining, from Wednesday through Sunday, 11:30am to 11pm. Bar until Midnight. We welcome all of our guests on a walk-in basis.
We look forward to reconnecting with all of you! Wear your mask, get vaxxed, and let's have some fun once again.
UPDATE May 15, 2021:
1. Our Sidewalk Cafe and Streetery is open whenever the weather cooperates. We are unable to construct an outdoor shelter because of ongoing condo construction going on next door to Monk's. They are nearly finished with the facade and will be transitioning to all indoor work in the next month or two.
2. We have installed a state-of-the-art HVAC system that brings in outside air, has MERV-13 filtration to capture particulate matter and UV-C Light that kills viruses. One unit for each of our three dining rooms. That is already way beyond what the Philadelphia Department of Health, the CDC and NIOSH recommend, but we also added floor HEPA filters with additional UV-C Lights that will provide what we feel is a safe environment for our coworkers and guests.
Please stay safe in these times.
Tom Peters & Bernadette Roe, proprietors
Welcome to Monk's Café
We are in a never-ending quest to bring our guests the finest beers in the world. We have been serving world-class beers for over 23 years (Tom has been doing that since 1985). Brewers from around the world stop in on a regular basis because we know how to keep our draught lines clean, push the beer with the right gas mixture, serve the beer in clean glassware, and charge the fairest price in town. Our bottled beer list is well tended and stored under optimum conditions. We offer fine wines by the glass and bottle and offer a full cocktail bar. Our award-winning food is house made daily (except for the bread from Metropolitan Bakery.)
