The beer, the food, and the atmosphere are amazing, but here is my problem, my gf asked if they had a certain type of beer and the bartender that was serving us said no, and on her own volition brought a sample of something like it, then later on, I asked for a small sample of something before I bought it and here is the problem, we were charged seven dollars for a flight. One sample that was not requested and one sample 3/4 of an inch and a 2 ounce glass. I know it sounds trivial, but seven dollars is seven dollars. Another bartender listen to us explain that and took it off of our bill. Make sure you check your receipts. read more

Been wanting to try Jealous Monk for ages! It's in a really cute building right outside of Olde Mistick Village. They have a nice big patio for dining out in the warmer weather. Waitstaff was very pleasant and service was fast. They are a beer garden and while they had a large tap list, it wasn't particularly interesting on the day we were there. Looking at their current tap list it's much better, but I'd still love to see more Belgian beer. The food was good. Their Belgian fries are amazing! I got a chicken schnitzel sandwich which was very tasty, but I was disappointed by the portion size for $16. The bun was your average grocery store burger bun size, and the piece of chicken was smaller than that. My husband's Reuben was good, but not particularly special. Overall, I'd come back again, but there are places in Mystic I'd rather go first. It's a 3.5 for me, but I'll round up for now. read more

Jealous Monk is a beer hall and garden located in the Olde Mistick Village. The interior is spacious with high ceilings and long tables. The outside patio is also spacious with plenty of seating. There are dozens of rotating draft beers, cocktails, and wine. They also have a good selection of food; from pretzels, burgers, wings, and more. I'm a fan of craft beer so I had to stop in. I love that it is kid friendly too. We ate outside on a beautiful summer evening. Our server was friendly and attentive. I had the red sangria which was good. We started off with the buffalo chicken crab rangoons which were decent. They had lobster rolls on the menu so I had to order it. I love the cold style; it's mixed with mayo on lettuce and a buttered bun. They loaded it with lobster meat. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our meals and drinks! I highly recommend! read more

What a fantastic Beer Hall to find in the Mystic area! Thanks to our friends from Yelp, we swung by here for dinner and glad we did. It reminded us of a smaller version of a European Beer Hall. Great food and drink with long shared tables to add to the fun. Add liter beers to the mix and you are in Prague The beer selections were great. Had 2 very nice IPA's that each hit the spot differently. Lots of options for everyone's beer taste. Food was out of this world. Pretzels as big as your head. Chicken sandwich that was moist and very tasty. Cannot add this point enough- Whatever you eat there GET THE CORNBREAD!!! It was mouth watering delicious! This place was a great find. You can swing by for just drinks, just food or my personal favorite both! read more

This building has changed restaurants a lot since we've been coming to mystic for the last 10 years. Last time we were here it was a seafood restaurant which we liked. Now it's changed to Jealous Monk. It's a bar atmosphere with more bar type food. Usual burgers, chicken wings etc. I did a quick search on here and browsed through the photos to see what the food looked like. What I saw looked good and the place was busy. What I didn't know was some of the food pictures weren't really what the food would look like. I got the Monk burger with a Caesar salad. The photo of the burger I saw looked fairly big especially with an $18 price tag. I'd like to know where that burger was cause mine looked nothing like that at all and it looked like a burger that would have been $5 on the kids menu. It tasted "ok" but not for $18. My son got Mac and cheese. He didn't eat much of it but he liked it. I tasted it and I thought it wasn't too bad but that and fries were $11. The fries were good I'll give them that. My wife got some chicken sandwich where the chicken was almost as flat as my burger. She said it tasted ok but again wasn't worth the price. They redid the inside from the last time I was there and it is nice has a nice atmosphere but it is extremely loud inside. Noise just goes everywhere and you can't hear yourself talk or even the waiter. There is seating outside but most tables don't have umbrellas on them and all the chairs are metal so not a good combo for outside. I honestly wouldn't go back and I think like the previous places this won't be around long unfortunately. The people working there are very nice but Way too expensive for what you get food wise. Maybe drinks are good but I don't drink so I can't comment on that. read more

Food was delicious! Service was great and they had live music out front! We took advantage of the Oktoberfest menu and ended up being very happy with the pork knuckle and the pretzel charcuterie board. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some of the beers they had on tap of which there are many. Only minor issue is that they couldn't pop the eagles game on which means we'd go elsewhere for sports watching in the future. read more

The food was decent- I got the Mediterranean Chicken Wrap and the Boneless Wings with Zenga sauce, and personally it reminded me a lot of Bdubs, if the wings were more stale and refried. The wrap was quite better, the chicken was hot, and the fries it came with were delicious. And the wrap itself tasted like a savory salad. Service was quick, reseated at a bar and got served relatively quick, probably within 20-25 minutes for the entire thing. However! 40 dollars for the entire meal? A little crazy, but then again it's Mystic Village, you know? If I called the ambulance here, I'd probably get them mixed up for the receipts would share the same audacity. The ambiance was decent, acoustics allow the music to be in the background without blaring, and the lighting was dim, a little too dim for my taste. Couldn't see my own hands. read more

What a great German beer hall and bier garden! Food and service were great! We were lucky to score a couple of bar seats as the table wait was 45 minutes. Had the most amazing New England clam chowder and southern tier caramel pumpkin IPA. My husband had a bratwurst which he enjoyed so much. Casual spot with large indoor and outdoor areas. Nice size bar. Friendly and attentive bartenders. Of all the places we could have chosen to eat at the shops, we were thrilled we got to experience here. If you're a beer enthusiast, you'll be so happy! Tons of beers from all over New England and beyond on tap. read more

We stopped in for lunch after shopping in Olde Mystic Village. My SO and his friend wanted brats, and this one is quite large, served on a bun with sauerkraut. Although the day was lovely, and the outdoor seating area open, our guests chose to dine inside the beer hall. We were told to sit where ever we wished and a waitress came by in quick time with menus and to take a drink order. My SO and his friend walked over to the bar to speak with the bartender about available beers. There are *so* many taps behind that bar! I am not sure of the exact number, but 'dozens' probably covers it. They each got themselves a German beer which was delivered to the table by our waitress. We were ready to order when the beers arrived so we placed the order and the waitress brought over silverware and extra napkins. We ladies chose waters, were given an option of lemon, and the water was refilled during our visit. We were left mostly alone through out our visit, but as the beer hall was not busy, and there were a few staff members near the bar, it would have been easy enough to flag someone down should we need anything, which we didn't. Our food was brought over by another staff member and our waitress checked in on us after a few minutes to be sure we were all set. She was very personable and did a good job. I opted for their Caesar salad which was fresh, had plenty of spicy dressing and lots of croutons. My friend had the Monk burger and loved it. Said it was 'messy, just the way I like it' and tasty. The gentlemen enjoyed their brats. I did try the fries and boy are those things delicious! I'd come back for the fries. Actually, I'd like to try that burger too. If we are back in the area, we'd stop in again. Definitely a beer hall with food, not a restaurant with some German beer. Seating inside is at shared tables, exactly as it is in a Munich beer hall so be prepared for that. Parking is plentiful. Restrooms are dated, but they are clean. read more

The second part of the CTBeer.com beer fest event was held next door from the Mystic Hilton at the Jealous Monk. This was a separate ticketed gathering which was $25. I arrived to continue working the 2nd part of the event. It started at 4:00 and scanned 50 tickets that was purchased in advance. i gave a ticket for a 1 complimentary drink along w the appetizers. Only worked for an hour which was only needed and then able to The ambiance of this well known restaurant was right on and our guests were very pleased w the food and enjoyed the table fire pits. It turned out to be a well enjoyed event. read more

This was kind of disappointing. I was really hoping to have some of their in house brewed beer, but they only offered two underwhelming options (a pilsner and a seltzer). Instead I got a brew from Beer'd, and it was good just not what I was initially looking for. The food was very average. I got fish and chips, and while I liked the fried cod the french fries were not very good, just kind of soggy and flavorless. It was alright, but I wouldn't really recommended it. read more

I really enjoyed the food and vibe at Jealous Monk. We got there during happy hour so there was a discount on draft beers ($2 off) and discounted apps. We ordered boneless buffalo tenders which were a good start. They have over 30 beers on tap, and they advertise the next beers coming in. Good options for all. The gyro was excellent-seeing that on their menu is actually what made me choose to go there. Very large portion, and the spices were good. It comes with a helping of fries, which I couldn't finish. We sat at the bar and our bartender was excellent. Would definitely go again if I am back in the area. read more

Though we had a good visit a year or two ago with the whole party enjoying everything they had, this time our pretzel appetizer was much better than our burger and chicken schnitzel sandwich combined. Both handheld options sounded much better on paper than their ho-hum realities. The lemonade was also disappointing. But the pretzel was very good, with three dipping choices to boot and the fries were tasty as well. No issue with service as it was friendly and quick. I do recommend to get on the waiting list online 20-30mins before you plan to arrive as they are often busy. read more

Great spot for lunch in Olde Mistick Village! It was a nice day out so we opted for seating outside - they have tons of patio seating. We ordered the buffalo wings (delicious), monk gyro (amazing, def recommend!), and a side of mac and cheese for my son. My husband enjoyed his beer flight as well. Food was wonderful and service was quick! It's a great spot if you have kids and want to take a break from shopping. read more

The ambiance was loud, very much pub like. It was handicapped accessible, service was prompt and the food was tasty. It is in the center of mystic village. Both outdoor and indoor seating.

This place can be summed up by saying it's kind of a "German" version of Yard House. The star of the show is having 5,000 or so beers on tap. The food is always kind of meh. I put German in quotes because it's not really the pinnacle of German food. German food seems pretty rare in the northeast, but there's better wurst around. Plus, they have lots of non-German dishes on the menu. It's ummm...loud inside. Very loud. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I get annoyed when I have to shout to talk to the person sitting right next to me, and I have to either ask "Say again?" 50,000 times or just guess what they said half the times. I sort of find that atmosphere ridiculous. Like, why would you come to a restaurant not by yourself just to not be able to communicate with the people with whom you came?? What are we supposed to do? Drink and eat while getting hearing loss until we're done, and then we leave to compare notes afterwards?? Anyway, I got an order of fish and chips. The breading tastes nice. Tastes like a beer batter. It, however, does not stick to the fish worth a darn, and it also overpowers the taste of the fish by a fair amount. The fries were decently good. Thick cut (1/2 inch, I think?) and crispy, and while they can't quite stand up on their own, they're really good as long as you give it a dash of malt vinegar. The cole slaw that came with it was disappointing and nigh-flavorless. Oh, also, skip using the tartar sauce. I don't know what relish they're using, but it's extremely overpowering in flavor. You put that on your fish, and you will taste neither the batter nor the fish. Service was friendly, but I had 2 beers I didn't order charged to my ticket that I didn't notice until I got back home, so I'm not exactly thrilled about that. read more

Very disappointing visit today. Granted it was snowy and maybe they were short staffed but service was poor. Very inattentive. The worst part was the food. We ordered the "special" which was supposed to be chipotle pulled pork on mac and cheese. It was a poor attempt to heat up mac and cheese in a cast iron skillet in an oven with very little, flavorless pulled pork, mostly chunks of fat, topped with soggy onion strings. The mac and cheese sauce broke so basically was left with dried out macaroni in oil, pork fat and soggy onion strings. Don't waste your time ordering this. The cook should know better about putting mac and cheese in the oven that way. read more

I was walking around Olde Mistick Village and we wanted to grab some food. We came upon Jealous Monk and was asked for my phone number so we could be added to the waiting list. We walked around for about 5 minutes and then I got a text message saying that the table was ready. We were seated at a bench in the shade on the side of the porch. It was perfect. We started with the coconut margarita and white sangria. It tasted good. For starters, we ordered the buffalo chicken rangoon which was chicken and cream cheese filled fried wontons, drizzled with buffalo sauce and bleu cheese. This was a great appetizer. The wonton wrapper was very crispy. I had the bangers and mash which is their own housemade bangers with freshly whipped mashed potatoes and peppered gravy. My husband had the Bavarian bratwurst which is also housemade, served on a fresh baked roll with housemaid sauerkraut with house cut Belgian frites and pickle. The portions were a good size. It was a beautiful day to be sitting outside. There are plenty of tables inside and outside. Service was wonderful and friendly. read more

Long wait but the hostess squeezed us in outside under a heat lamp within 20 minutes! The heat lamp made outside bearable, at least when we went! Service was good though we did have to go in and ask for the check because the place got super busy. Inside is really loud so just be aware of that if you are sensitive to noise! Pictured is our stuffed duck Ducky enjoying the pretzel and also the Monk Burger with fries. The burger was good, but not super filling. Fries were excellent. read more

Very good service and nice ambiance. We had a table full of various appetizers, all tasty.

Walked in yesterday and hostess was at podium. Eventually she looked up, no smile, no verbal acknowledgement. We stated the number of guests in our party, she glared at us and smacked down menus. She never said one word, only possessed a death glare. After waiting and waiting for a server, we left for Pink Basil, where the hostess was smiling and seemed happy to greet us. The hostess at Jealous Monk was miserable and rude. Middle aged woman with glasses. Servers non-existent. Tourist trap so doubtful this review will make a difference. Note to owner- find better management. read more

The Monk sits inside the Mystic Village. This is a cool little shopping area, full of tourists, and an absolute tourist trap! Lol. Knowing this ahead of time, I decided to still try the Monk. Unfortunately due to it being VT Day weekend, it was mobbed. They take your name, but you literally have ZERO place to wait inside, if the weather is atrocious outside (this was a really cold and windy day). We waited for a good 45 mins to be seated killing time outside then came in, while people that came 5 mins after us, were seated almost immediately 10 mins after first check in, eh perhaps our timing sucked or the hostess hated us, not sure which--I don't blame her for not loving life this weekend, I wasn't either lol. They seem to have a shortage of waitresses, since the bartender ended up serving us, while there appeared to be empty tables not being sat down--likely because of kitchen capacity so I get it. The food was not bad for a bar and the vibe is as one would expect, loud, sports bar, etc. We ordered the Fish and Chips along some Chicken Rangoon, and I got the Gyro which was absolutely phenomenal which came with some fries. They have various selections of beer on tap, few cocktails, the usual. Food was extremely greasy and I swear the Chicken Rangoon absolutely destroyed me after, if you catch my drift. Overall though, despite greasy, it wasn't bad for the location and perhaps the Monk warrants a visit back in hopefully a day in which it isn't freaking tourist galore. Not special, but not bad either--fairly priced, would give them another try due to atmosphere and overall quality-food-price etc. read more

3/29/23: We stopped in the Jealous Monk for a late lunch. The interior has a rustic appearance. Place has indoor and outdoor dining with lots of seating. We started out with a Yuengling and a Jonathan Edwards Cabernet. The cab was very good. We decided on the Monk Burger with Belgian Frites and pickles. Definitely would recommend the Monk Burger. The burgers were prepared to our likings. The frites was okay. Service was fair. Think they could use more help. The Jealous Monk is located in the Old Mistick Village. Parking is available in the village lot. read more

truly embrace the experience of trying a new eatery and heard good things about the Jealous Monk. We were a family of nine with four adults and five children. I ordered the reuben, which 10 mins after ordering was informed they were out of rye bread. Switched to the Chicken Schnitzel. The service was fast and impressive, and yet, sadly, the chicken was bland and overdriven by the pepper relish and never was the same level as the service. On top of that, the music was so loud we couldn't chat without yelling. I might be back to give them another chance. Frankly, only server 264 motivates me to return! read more

Stopped by for a drink and a few apps over the weekend and enjoyed it! Overall, it is very spacious with a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was friendly! Regarding food, we had ordered a pretzel, fries, and buffalo chicken empanadas. I thought the pretzel was a little too salty (not the end of the world since you can just rub the salt off) but flavor and texture outside of the saltiness was good. Fries were delicious and came with a few dipping sauces. There was too much blue cheese on the empanadas for my liking, but acknowledge that's personal preference! read more

Food, service and ambiance we're all average. They were really busy and our food still came out relatively quickly so that was a plus. Not many options for vegetarians and honestly, not a very big menu overall. I got the fried fish sandwich and while it was good, it was a lot of breading and not a ton of fish. I would eat here again, it just wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Stopped by for lunch before visiting the aquarium. The inside is really nice and the staff was friendly. I ordered the Bavarian brat that came with fresh cut fries. The fries were cooked well, but the fresh style is just not my favorite in general so these were just okay for me. The brat was huge. I ordered it thinking I'd have no problem finishing it/wouldn't have leftovers before heading to the aquarium, but I honestly struggled to and did not finish it. It was a reasonable price of $15. I wish I wasn't traveling so I could have tried some of the more unique looking menu items or a few cocktails, but I just didn't have the room/time for them! Oh, as I was leaving I noticed a really nice large outdoor seating area that would be great to go to when the weather is nice! read more

This is a really popular lunch spot with both outdoor and indoor seating. It's packed at lunch time. Grabbed an outdoor seat after our visit to the aquarium. The bench style seating was comfortable and the kids enjoyed it. It's also a kid-friendly restaurant. They gave us crayons and a coloring page when we sat down. You get a great village/town feel and definitely feel like you are on vacation when dining outside. Very comfortable. Food surpassed our expectations. you do get the village feel but almost surreal The kids meals were a good size. The salad is a generous portion and the chicken sandwich is delicious.
