Monk's Pub Chicago is an Old World-style pub and bar in Chicago's vibrant Loop district, originally opened by Mike Shaker in 1969 and moved to its current location in 1978. The bar is meant to evoke the vibe of a European inn pub, showcasing global artifacts from Shaker's travels from locations as far as Istanbul, Aruba, and Bali. An impressive beer list highlights up to 200 domestic, craft, and international import beers at any given time, including a daily-rotating selection of 16 regional independent brews on tap. Pub fare includes a delicious selection of meat, vegetarian, and vegan burgers, with gluten-free buns available upon request for diners with dietary concerns. Shareable appetizers are also served up, including unique takes such as tempura-battered cheese curds, loaded tater tots, and vegetarian mock buffalo wings crafted with cauliflower.
