PLEASE do not enter if you have health symptoms such as a sore throat, shortness of breath, fever or you exhibit any other symptom of the COVID virus.

TAKEAWAY FOOD:

Monk's Café, like everyone in the service industry, is still not fully staffed.

This translates to not being able to offer takeaway food on Friday and Saturday.

We offer takeaway all day Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday for now.

Other Info You May Want to Read:

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.

Thank you all and 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.)

We have welcomed our guests on a walk-in basis for nearly 25 years. We are currently limiting party size to 8 guests. We add a 20% service fee to groups of 5 or larger.
