The Club was able to muster 16 for a visit to the Merry Monk on Friday. With 16 Belgian or Belgian-style craft beers on draft and not a Coors Lite onsite how can you go wrong? The room is bright--more of a European-cafe look than the dark, American-speakeasy look. The bar is big with lots of room for the staff to work behind. There are booths and high top tables. There is also a sitting area with leather chairs and a gas fireplace/stove. We had a nice chat with Jerriam who is one of the owners. He seemed to be happy with the response so far. He liked the idea of having a MAS meeting there in the near future. The menu looked good. Mussels and other Belgian-cafe fare. We only had the frites. The dipping sauces are good but the fries were a little too much like standard pub fries and not Pommes Frites. Garden Bistro 24 and Ommagang have the real frites. We ate all of them anyway. The cheese plate was very nice and of a good size. In conclusion I want to be a regular.
