About Monks on the Commons

Located in a hotel, Monks on the Commons is a restaurant and bar that offers a good selection of drinks. The bar features a range of tap beers, as well as an extensive liquor selection, including rum, whiskey, and bourbon. The staff is friendly and attentive, making visitors feel welcome. The menu is simple but offers a few well-executed options, including a juicy burger with thick patties and crispy bacon. The restaurant also serves good but basic chicken tenders and shoestring fries. The atmosphere may feel a bit sterile, but the food and drinks help make the experience better. Recently, the restaurant was noted to be quiet, with appealing presentation and tasty food. Customers enjoyed sitting in very comfortable chairs and appreciated attentive service, especially when needing to leave on time for a film. The restaurant is also a good place for late-night supper or appetizers, with fresh and tasty food. However, some reviews mention issues with food quality and presentation, such as a disappointing hamburger with minimal toppings and watered-down iced tea. Despite these concerns, the bar remains a popular spot for drinks and casual dining.

Chef Joey has a gift for elevating meals both in flavors and textures. I wish I lived closer, I’d be here at least once a week…
