My wife and I had a good time here. We ordered the soft pretzels with beer cheese, and they were pretty good! The bartender was really hustling—mixing drinks and running food without missing a beat. There’s plenty of seating both inside and out, so it’s easy to find a spot. Overall, a great place to grab a drink and enjoy some decent food.

We stopped in for a quick beer as we were gallivanting around. Loved the atmosphere. The beer selection was fantastic. With the name like "Thirsty Monk", I had to try the "Tricky Tripel". It absolutely did not disappoint. I would recommend stopping in. The beers are great and the vibes are true. I can't wait to go back.

Love to sit outdoors with a refreshing seltzer of Holly Water. My favorite is Hibiscus, Ginger & Pomegranate which unfortunately they are discontinuing due to manufacturing difficulties...so the next favorite is the Orange & vanilla Holly Water! Gives you a nice buzz, and is yummi!

This is a great neighborhood spot. My boyfriend and I love it here. The food is good and the bartenders are so nice. We go most Tuesdays for trivia and the host is cool too.

We stopped and grabbed lunch here after getting into town. The food was just....eh.Bad bar food would be how I would describe it.Their onion rings are thinly sliced onions that came out, cold and essentially evaporated in your mouth.The house salad looks like something that would be served at a hospital cafeteria.They do have a small selection of local breweries on their tap list, and that is nice to be able to sample some different beers from around town. Their house triple is very good.I would not skip it, but avoid the food.

I went to Thirsty Monk with some cohorts from WCU on our break today and this was my first time in this establishment. We got there about 20 minutes or so before noon and there was nobody in the place yet. The young woman behind the counter was extremely friendly and I placed an order for a Monk Burger. I had really been craving a "good burger". I'm so glad I picked this place for lunch! Wow! What a pleasant surprise! The fries were plentiful and fresh hand cut, but the star was the burger. It was a delicious burger that hit on all cylinders. The meat was seasoned and cooked medium just like I ordered. The pickle chips, thinly sliced red onions, tomato and lettuce were all great. Sometimes when I order a burger at a restaurant, I wind up finding some of those items lacking and pull them off - not here. It was an amazing burger; probably the best restaurant burger I've had in a long, long time. Of course, Thirsty Monk is known more for their libations, but don't skip the food! Next time I will try the fish and chips! Super friendly people, great location, outdoor picnic tables for seating and delicious food. I'll definitely be back!

Just had new chicken wings on menu. Heather and Jim are dynamic duo. Wings have super flavor and sauces are homemade in house. Just ordered another order of 12.

Clean, quiet, but still a lovely bar atmosphere. We were served very promptly, the bartender checked in with us several times to make sure we were all set, and we didn't have to wait when we were ready to pay and leave.We weren't particularly hungry, so we only had a few drinks. The vibes in here are very Asheville in the best way. Definitely recommend this place for a few casual drinks.
