    Had a ceaser salad and it was good and crunchy! Tried a couple different beers which are ask super tasty! Our server (I think her name was Mikayla) was really attentive and nice ! The place is kid friendly. We brought our 11 month old baby and the server brought out a crayon and paper for her. Upstairs was really cool too!

    Love checking out breweries whenever I travel and this unique spot, did not disappoint. This brewery offers Southern-style cooking & drinks provided in a cavernous Belgium style brewpub featuring a terrace & a bookstore. Like your favorite piece of music or your most prized work of literature, the Bold Monk exists to bring comfort in your time of leisure. It's a beautifully decorated massive venue, with two full floors of service and also features a beer garden. Bold Monk is a place to simply be...to be satisfied, to be joyous, to be connected, to be well. To be yourself! We ordered some beers (note: they also offer a full bar and many cocktail options) and two appetizers (salmon dip & the bitterballen). My absolute favorite was salmon dip. My only complaint is that they didn't provide enough toast. The salmon tasted fresh, loved the texture and seasoning and it was light while also filling. Overall it was a positive experience. The price point was fare considering the offerings and quality and the service was great!

    Okay okay I had to come back here because I wanted chill vibes to watch football. They were surprisingly not very busy Sunday afternoon and easily snagged two seats at the bar where football was playing. We were greeted right away by the bartender and offered us menus. I'm not a drinker so opted for a mocktail, Prepare Yourself - I was wearing trying it because it has ginger beer AND matcha but it was refreshing! For food, my husband and I shared the lamb burger, salmon dip, wings and Brussel sprouts. The lamb burger was cooked medium and juicy and served with fries with some delicious sauce. The salmon dip was smoky and creamy and serve with toast. The wings I did not get to try but hubby said was sweet and spicy. My all time favorite here are the brussel sprouts - I don't know what they do with them but they are so good! During this time, I got to venture their second floor where they have a book store, another bar and beer garden. This is easily one of my faves to go to for good food, great cocktails and vibes.

    Here it is! HEAVEN on earth! I'm getting hungry for this just typing this!

    They get a FIVE/FIVE for that fish sandwich!!!! You have to go to get the FISH SANDWICH! The waitress told me it was the best and she wasn't lying!!!!

    This was my first visit to Bold Monk Brewing, and I look forward to returning. I attended a group outing here. We were seated in a private area, and were well cared for by two attentive servers who ensured our needs were met throughout the meal. We enjoyed a variety of drinks and dishes, served promptly, including chicken and waffles, the bold breakfast plates, salads, and other selections. I personally ordered the Blue Winged Angel cocktail and the grilled chicken kale salad, both of which I really enjoyed. My salad was a nice portion, which was enough for two people. To conclude our visit, we received a complimentary dessert from Chef Tony, who, along with owner Alan LeBlanc, graciously visited with us during our time there. Overall, our experience exceeded expectations, and I cannot wait to visit again in the future!

    This is a review of brunch. We looked at the menu online and came for the Dutch thin pancakes. We arrive and it is no longer on the menu. Bummer. Menus should match! Wanting something more European based I ordered the skillet eggs. It was beyond bland. It has zero flavor. I asked for hot sauce or something to bring it to life. Nothing worked. So I ordered mussels which are delicious. The beer is always good. I say skip brunch items here.

    Woke up wanting brunch and if you know me, I won't turn down a beer to go with my food. One of my secret pleasures is good Belgian beer. Not enough breweries attempt it, and a lot when they do ends up being frankly underwhelming. Bold Monk Brewing stacked up awards for their beers for good reason - some of the best American belgian style beers I have had! The Virtue of Patience: A Flanders Red Ale aged in American White Oak Foeders blended with a small portion of the previous batch for 12 months. Discipline: A Belgian Dubbel that has won World Beer Cup Bronze in 2025 and Gold at US Open Beer Championships in 2020. Indominus: A Belgian Quadrupel that won Gold at the 2023 US Open Beer Championships. The Way: A Belgian Tripel that won Gold at US Open Beer Championships in 2021 and 2024. _____

    Came in for brunch with some friends. We got there right as they opened on a Sunday and had no issues getting a table. They have a large brunch menu with options for everyone. I got the berry waffles and it was a lot of food! I barely finished half. Would recommend as a good brunch spot for a group!

    Enjoying a meal at the bar!

    My friend and I were in the area to grab food elsewhere but their wait was much longer than what our stomachs would allow. Instead we tried this place as she had been before. We were able to snag seats at their large bar right away. We shared their Monk burger and lamb burger over an old fashion and margarita. Both burgers were tasty in their own ways but the lamb burger had more twang to it. The drinks were well made but I did find my old fashion to be sweeter than I like. Overall, it's a traditional brewery/bar vibe that I would like to come again. Staff were friendly and the parking is easy since they have their own private lot.

    Really unique and cool place!! They have a variety of beers and a small cocktail menu too. I've had the chicken sandwich there and it's pretty good. Interested to try the pizzas next as they all sounded delicious. Bartenders are very attentive and easy to get drinks. Actual space is very open with multiple levels inside and outside area. Even has a little reading nook with bookshelves. There was a DJ there when I went last time who set the vibe. Easily becoming one of my favorite bars/restaurants!

    Beautiful space with amazing food, brews, and views! Location and Parking Located in West Midtown, parking is located directly in front of the building; parking is plentiful and free. Venue and Atmosphere Enjoy the outdoor seating and greenery as you proceed to the massive double doors to enter Bold Monk. Once you are inside, feel free to peruse the merchandise near the host stand. Bold Monk is a massive venue, with two floors of full food/beverage service, a bookstore, and a beer garden as well. It is beautifully decorated, and even has a private room for events overlooking the distillery. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. We had service on both levels since we played trivia after dinner, and all of the staff were wonderful. Food and Beverages I enjoyed the Caesar salad (I asked for extra dressing), pizza (the crust was perfect), as well as the waffle with ice cream. Everything was delicious! The arlo-basque style cider was good as well, it's more sour than sweet but the flavors balance nicely. I'm not a beer drinker but they do have a wide variety of wine, ciders, and cocktails as well. Verdict I'll definitely visit again in the spring, so I can fully enjoy the beer garden with warm weather.

    Bloody Mary is fantastic and was nervous about their brunch menu but was pleasantly surprised. The breakfast burrito is large so may need to split it. They had corn in it which was absolutely delightful. Salmon toast one of the eggs was fully overcooked. The salmon wasn't like lox it was more cooked and that is not what you expect for Benedict. Do not recommended. Service amazing and parking fantastic for where it is near the works.

    My husband and I love this place. We visit the ATL area 2 or 3 times a year and always try to make a visit to Bond Monk. The ambiance/vibes are solid. The place in general is interesting and huge! This visit we sat at the bar and Patrice took great care of us. Our fave appetizer are the wings with the delicious honey chile sauce. This time we decided to split the lamb burger (which I've had before) and it did not disappoint. I also love the additional sauces you can add to dip with your fries. Hubs always has a couple beers, and I usually have a cocktail. We hope to eventually try the brunch!

As for the food, I've really only ever tried their smokehouse burger, Asian-style loaded fries, and chocolate chip cookie skillet. The burger is super juicy and perfectly cooked, while the sauces and crispy bacon married it together. I've tried the Asian-style loaded fries (pictured below) twice now, and I honestly don't recommend it unless you like your char siu pork to be drenched in salt. It was nearly inedible both times. As for the chocolate chip cookie skillet, it was delicious, I practically inhaled the whole thing! The thing that honestly keeps me coming back is just the overall vibe of the place!

This person is awful. I don't know why anyone would behave this way with customers. It's not acceptable and reflects quite poorly on the establishment that this person works there. We wish everyone the best but will not be returning in the future. I don't recommend anyone eat here.

The most surprising thing was getting a $10 draft of craft beer...and having it served in a disposable plastic cup. I'm not a glassware purist, but that doesn't make it seem impressive.
