As the sign over the bar says, The Monk is the smallest licensed bar in Pennsylvania. Housed in The Priory hotel, itself a former monastery, it had previously served as a library and vault. It can comfortably--snugly, perhaps--seat 10 people. On a quiet Monday night, I had the space to myself. Hotel guests are allowed to bring their purchases to their rooms, but I loved sitting in the bar by myself (typing these words). I had a carajilo, a wonderful combination of cold brew coffee...
It’s the smallest bar in Pennsylvania, so just from that I needed to check it out. It’s also very convenient if you’re staying at the Priory hotel. A great selection of drinks and several interesting specialty cocktails. I love that the liquor bottles are stored in an old vault originally used for a document archive.
This place is a hidden gem that we happened upon while sharing an evening with friends.It is a beautiful building with an even more fascinating history, all told and preserved by its resident historian and talented mixologist Mike.Don't cheat yourself, indulge!
