Wonderful, friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere. Food was terrific. Three of us had different options from the day's BBQ special menu and one ordered an Ahi Tuna sandwich. The tuna sandwich was outstanding - big filet of fresh tasting grilled fish on a bun with lettuce and various condiments. The servers helped us navigate the large selection of tap beers. Good food plus live music made our three hours dining at Monk's Kettle very enjoyable.

Food was solid. Service was ok, we sat on patio while a band was playing. It was busy. Overall solid place.

Perfect place to sit at the bar and chat to fellow customers and friendly staff. They have an excellent selection of good local beers that staff are interested and knowledgeable enough to talk about. Excellent pub grub too. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

13oz beers for the price of a pint.

Went here on the recommendation of a friend who liked it. They must have gone on a better day. While the staff were wonderful and friendly, they never refilled or water glasses once during our meal, which was really unfortunate because some of the food was so salty it was almost inedible.
We started out with the brussel sprouts, which were very tasty, but also very salty, moved on to the garlic Parm fries, which tested like they put all the salt for the fries in the brussel sprouts instead, bland. We them tried their tomato and fennel soup which had a great flavor, but again was so salty that no one could finish more than about a third of their bowls.
Or mains were a mixed bunch alternating from either being very bland, very mid, or so salty they were inedible.
We mentioned the overly salty meals to our waitress so I hope she told someone on the cook staff or management about it.
You guys really seem to have a hard time with consistency, which is really too bad because there is good potential there.
Hope you can do better in the future, but I and the group I went with will unfortunately not be going back.

Inconsistent food and unreliable experience. Go somewhere else!

This is a neighborhood spot that we just want to really like, but they keep failing on the food quality. This is probably our 10 or 12th time there and can honestly say that we have only had 3-4 decent meals there. Yes, we keep going back because it is a convenient place to walk to and meet neighbors. There has been no consistency in the food quality and on more than occasion,we have been tempted to send our food back. The menu keeps changing and last night, they were out of multiple items. (on a Saturday night?). All of our friends that we have gone with agree that their food quality is definitely lacking. I can see if they have just opened,but they have been in business for years-. Monk's Kettle is good for having a beer and that is about it in my opinion. We are saddened that they cannot get someone to really put some effort in quality control in the kitchen.

The staff was very accommodating to our holiday get together group: kind, attentive and flexible. We highly recommend the happy hour draft menu and small plates. Great to hang with friends or watch a game.

Sylvie

Great food, great service. Unfortunately the noise level was very high. They had a band playing and as much as I love live music it was way too loud. My friend and I had a very hard time hearing each other.
