the brewer got double booked and won't make it :_( but we are going to tap this beautiful beer tonight anyway, and so, get a seat at the bar...

Lots of outdoor seating, dog friendly, and a great waitstaff. The mussels were good. They also had some really great French Toast and breakfast dishes I would come back and try.

They have multiple sours on the menu! Great beer and classic food selection. Definitely making this a neighborhood favorite.

The burger was very good, but I was expecting more meat with it. The side of fries were different than the appetizer fries that they brag about in the menu. Great beer list and very comfortable decor.

Trying the vegan wings and pommes frites, the Bruegel burgers, and pint of O'Reilly's stout...and the results are spectacular! Everyone is happy!

Had the buffalo shrimp. It was okay. The pomme frites had great dipping sauces. The grilled cheese special and soup were yummy.

Amazing beer list, Chimay on draft, and a nice selection of Belgian/French-ish dishes (think mussels, but also chicken fingers).

Complete 180° experience tonight. Delightful bar staff, great service, and super yummy pommes frittes. Triple Chimay to die for.

Beer selection is legit. The mussels are great. Most favorite items though were the fries and arugula avocado salad #truestory.

Nice music, cool atmosphere, not so loud and with a variety of beers (tap beer flavors, changed especially for Christmas days).

A lot of awesome beer choices!!!! Awesome food as well! Looking for new things to try well give them a look!

If spicy crab eggs with andouille sausage are ever the special, get them!
Joe CFebruary 16, 2016
The mussels and beer are must-haves, but if you're feeling adventurous, get their veggie burger. Really solid

Nice and small bar on the outskirts of Philly. Tons of great Belgian beer including bottles and draft of Russian River!
Jeremy ThomasAugust 22, 2014
The small plates at the bar were delicious. Nice brunch menu and not too far from the art museum.

A great place for vegans if you have some omnivores to please too. Relaxed spot with great beers.
Leanne AlyssaNovember 11, 2014
Awesome veggie wings. The spaetzle is really good too!! The fries aren't worth the extra money- pretty soggy.

Everyone loves the beer and mussels at Monk’s, but the Belgian has the advantage of being just as good and only half as crowded.
Harley FoxApril 10, 2013
Such good veggie burgers!! So different from normal. The vegetarian and carnivorous options here rock!
Rachel ShifmanDecember 21, 2016
Brunch here is fabulous. The grilled brie dish is so tasty!

Get the De Koninck beer and the De Koninck mussels. Yum!

Great beer selection. Some of the best burgers in Philadelphia, and don't leave without trying the mussels.

Yes, go for mussels or a burger for lunch or dinner, but also try brunch and the croque madame--though ask them to go a little lighter on the mustard.

Amazing frites and great beer selection.

I ate here earlier this week & had such a great experience I insisted we come back. Today there was a SLUG on my salad! And the manager blamed it on being farm fresh -it's called water! Never again!
Kelly DonovanOctober 22, 2013
enjoyed our meal - so many beer choices it was hard to decide

Lisa makes a phenomenal dirty martini. Seems blasphemous to not get a beer here, but this is worth it.
