Prices are not the cheapest, but in line with what you'd expect to pay in downtown Arlington Heights. Service is friendly, and fairly quick even when they get a rush of visitors during beautiful summer afternoons. For those looking for something different like trivia or board games, they do have special nights here and Meetup Groups that hold special events here from time to time.

Beer on the wall is such a great concept. So many different beers to buy or to grab on the go. I…read morealso saw some malort on the shelf..just saying. The inside is small, so this is great for a group of 4 or less ideally - but they really do make the most out of their space. There's lots of seating around the bar. When it's nice out, they also open the outside area for even more seating, which is nice to see. What I didn't love is that most of the chairs are those godforsaken metal chairs that anyone over 30 years old most likely has beef with (or is it just me?). also adding, this may have just been the time we went but oh god there were so many kids running around in there. It honestly took away from the vibe. With the kids and the chairs, we unfortunately could only do one drink here. Would love to check it out when it's more of an adults only time.

I love Lucky Monk. My friend and I have come here a few times for Happy Hour because they have…read moregreat Happy Hour food deals, which I appreciate a lot as someone who doesn't drink much. The deal is half off apps, but if you enjoy an adult beverage, the house-brewed drafts are also half off. M-Th 3-6pm, dine-in only. At least that's what it is right now. I feel like it changes, so maybe call beforehand to confirm. I only got pics of the nachos this time, which really doesn't do it full justice because they're bigger than they look in the photo. Food is always good and consistent, there's nothing really to complain about regarding service or prices, and parking has always been really easy, though that could be because we typically go on Tuesdays. I imagine weekends could be a little bit busier, but the place is pretty big, so even if you have to wait, I don't think that you'd be waiting that long. The vibe is also casual and low-key.

I get together with old friends once a month at various restaurants. On this visit, there was just…read morethree of us. I chose this place for this month's lunch. I had been here with my daughter about 12 years ago and remembered enjoying it then. We all had burgers and craft beer. My friends went with the Mad Max (burger of the month) and I went with a peppercorn and blue cheese burger. It was thumbs up for all of us on the burgers as well as the beer, which was unique and delicious. I took no pictures that day and just enjoyed the outing with friends, but I was especially impressed with the taste of my burger. I abstained from adding any of my usual condiments, and decided to try it as is, with just their sauce. Best decision ever! The sauce was amazing and the burger was cooked a perfect medium. Like many restaurants, Luck Monk offers their regular menu, plus flyers on their specials, including beers and cocktails. Four days later, I went right back there again on my own, to formally review it with photos. I had to go with that same peppercorn burger, because it was just so good, and to make sure the first time was a fluke. It wasn't. I tried out their chili as well, which was also good. This chef knows what he is doing. This stand alone restaurant is easy to get to, and has ample parking. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and looks high end, though I found the pricing to be reasonable. It would be a great spot to take clients for a business lunch. It's elegant looking , but unpretentious. The hostess and servers are wonderful. I highly recommend the Lucky Monk!

He gave me a small tour. Advised that they have tables for tastings and even offer a small array of crackers and meats, but they are not a restaurant. He added that it's not uncommon for regulars to visit a local restaurant and just bring their food with them to enjoy their wine. There's also a selection of craft beers and spirits to choose from. We even discussed Uncle Nearest whisky! After a recommendation from the owner, I chose the VDR; Very Dark Red wine. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to go back to try more!

I generally find that a chain restaurant due to management has different service...and this one…read moreproved my observations. Although friendly greeting and being seated immediately, that went well. Where this train started going off the rails was when the waiter returned with our beverages it was obvious he had been somewhere eating because he had remnants of food on his mouth and was "smacking" his lips. We had to repeat request for things. Now, he was pleasant however not professional. Where we were seated there was trash (food and a straw) on the floor between the tables and no one even attempted to clean the floors around us. (Although I personally don't like sweeping around the table while eating because dirt and debris flys around when people use the brooms). For everything we ordered it was a bit salty in areas as if not distributed well. On one side of the dish it was extremely salty and the other side needed a touch of salt. Then when mixed the whole dish was almost too salty. Although we were told we had gotten there right after brunch there were very few customers, however even 30minutes in we still had not received our main courses. Disappointed is an understatement. Oh, and even after asking for the check took quite long. Suggestion to management at this location... Do better.

What really stood out is how competitive their pricing is compared to other stores in the area. They consistently offer great deals and discounts that make it easy to try new brands without overspending. Mike is knowledgeable and always ready to help you find exactly what you need. I was especially impressed by their curated wine collection, which includes both popular labels and unique finds. Their discount offers are clearly marked and genuinely valuable, not just gimmicks. The store is well organized, making it easy to browse and discover new options. I also appreciate how frequently they update their inventory with fresh selections. Whether you're shopping for a special occasion or just stocking up, this place delivers great value. Overall, the combination of price, variety, and ongoing discounts makes this one of the best liquor stores in the area. I'll definitely be coming back regularly.
