the old monk

great place to have a drink and get a bite to eat. over 50 kinds of beer and good selection of whiskeys. the food is outstanding. bestfishand chips in dallas. no gluten free bread options for burgers. need to make that available. everybody in our party enjoyed their meal. small children allowed until 7 pm.

the pub with ambiance, and a patio to boot.  located on henderson avenue, the old monk is a great place to meet friends, to hang or catch up.  in addition to an awesome beer list, and full bar, the monk has the best bar food i have found.  burgers, salads, sandwiches,fishand chips, as well as appetizers, with some great vegetarian options.

i met a friend for dinner, and i started with a vegetarian lentil soup, which was light, but spicy.  for my entrée, i chose the vegetarian burger, which is made in-house, with lentils, bulgur wheat, leeks, mushrooms, corn, cashews & spices; with lettuce, tomato, red onion.  i would rank it as the most flavorful vegetarian burger i have found!

cozy, quaint, versatile pub with a great patio for dinner and drinks serving above average bar food. this is a great casual date restaurant, brunch on the patio place, or late night cheat day eats place.

sight- crowded on a saturday night. mixed crowd of couples, guys night out, and girls night out tables. old school setting with deep wood accents and chalkboard signage listing out rotational beer selection.

sound- music pumping, conversations would be tough for a table of 4.

tough- clean enough.

smell- n/a

taste:

fish and chips- a staple of any pub. this version serves 3 big pieces of hand dipped flakyfishfilets. not greasy and delicious. the chips are meaty and crispy. handmade tartar sauce is addicting.

loaded french fries- smothered in melted cheddar, these loaded fries are generously topped with crispy bacon and sprinkling of jalapenos. homemade ranch is ample and delicious.

good food in a fun bar atmosphere. there's a nice patio. my husband and i went on a sunday afternoon. they have some nice brunch items but we opted for regular menu items. we started with the spicy tempura mushrooms which were very tasty and came with 2 dipping sauces. then i had the wurst board which was bratwurst, knockwurst with some great cheese and breads. it was very good. my husband had thefishand chips which had moist and flakeyfishand a very good batter. they have a big selection of local and imported beers and a good selection of mixed drinks. we were too full for dessert. i recommend this quaint eclectic pub.

unbelievable beer menu!. ...and great pub food to boot! try thefish& chips, it's the best my european husband and i have had in dallas!

order thefishand chips! great henderson pub for drinks after work or casual saturday night.

best pub grup in dallas. the old monk has the best bar food in dallas. whether it's snacking on huge bowl of mussels or calamari while drinking or full on dinner, the food better than most dedicated restaurants. they've got a killer veggie ruben and a damn good veggie burger too. the smoked salmon sandwich is good an thefishn' chips is just about the best ive had in dallas. and for desert, the bread pudding will put you in a sugar coma. oh, and they've got a stellar french onion soup and i've heard that the guinness stew is good too.

they aren't open for lunch on the weekdays and they're absolutely swamped on weekend nights, but any other time it's a great place to eat and drink and drink. the covered and uncovered patios are great.

parking is limited, but better than most places in that neighborhood. if the lot is full you can valet it somewhere or just park down a side street and walk.
