    Came on a Saturday night at 545, told it's a 30 minute wait but we were able to find bar seats. The inside looked very cozy with a variety of seating options. Nice place to chill but not the best food. Hamburger was okay, fries a little soggy and the fish and chips were not flavorful. Overall disappointed in the food but liked the ambiance . I ordered a cocktail and it was a bit too sweet for me . My husband tried 2 different beers.

    West Coast Tripel. I'd recommend it.

    Beer here is great. Lots to choose from. Seating can be difficult though. Parking can be sparse but we've kicked everyone we came here. Food was good enough. We were even lucky enough to bring our dog!

    Came here on a busy Saturday just a few minutes after they opened, there was already a line and I was able to get a seat at the bar. I ordered a pint of the Vernon Street Lager ($7) and the fish and chips ($22). The fish and chips had a slightly sweet flavor to them, which was unique. It came with duck fat fries, which were great, some coleslaw, a lemon wedge, and some sort of aoli and tartar sauce. I also got some ketchup and malt vinegar on the side. Everything came out tasting fresh and would try other things on the menu. It came out to $32 + tip.

    Date night! Perfect environment & vibe! Cozy but not crazy crowded..love the staff! Very helpful & attentive Hubby made these past three reservations, & we used the free parking garage on oak st, did a little night stroll to the restaurant. Great night!

    My friend and I came by for dinner. She previously been here for Oktoberfest. Very lively place. We opted to sit outside, have some non-alcoholic beverages, a couple of appetizers and enjoy the nice weather. We had the following: *Jake is a non-alcoholic cocktail - really good. I enjoyed the citrus flavors. We later found out this was named after our waiter and another non-alcohol drink was named after his wife. So cute! * ATLÉTICA Copper - my friend wanted another non-alcoholic brew but was accidentally given this one. She didn't like it. It wasn't to her taste. *Large Pretzel - served with spicy mustard and pub cheese. Good and really big portion. *Croquettes - Mashed potatoes with roasted jalapeño, crispy bacon & cheddar cheese. They were tasty! *Scotch Egg - Soft-boiled egg wrapped in ground sausage & breadcrumbs and fried. We both like this. Delicious! *Duck fat fries - traditional. I accidentally ordered traditional even tho we wanted the Parmesan & Cheese one. We were both a tad disappointed that we didn't taste much Duck fat. Overall, lively place, good vibes, friendly and chill servers. Located on Vernon and Washington Blvd.

    I've been coming to Monks Cellar for a few years now and wow!! The food is incredible, my fave appetizer is the pretzel! The bar tenders are amazing and always make anything I've ordered great. The whisky options...10/10! Recently I went for Oktoberfest and had so much fun! Definitely will be returning for the music and vibes again!

    This place has a wonderful atmosphere. The beer is good. We had the Scotch Egg. It was perfect and the best that I have had. Our entrees were excellent. I had the Rabbit Confet ang my girlfriend had the Carbonnmond Flamande. They were excellent. One of the owners visited our table a couple of times. If we didn't live so far away, we would definitely be regulars.

    Came here on the way back from Reno. Cute brewery. Besides beer they do have food. Also non-alcoholic beverages. Got the Reuben sandwich with garlic fries. Garlic fries were super yummy. Perfect crunch and not too much garlic. The fish and chips were good too- didn't have too much batter like some places. We sat outside under the patio with the doggies. They have several heaters so it was fine. The waiter was always checking up on us which was nice since we were the only ones out in the patio. Got a quick peak of the inside while headed to the bathroom. It's really nice inside. Lots of space and tables.

    A fabulous chocolate mousse. Love the whipped cream is on the bottom.

    We were out looking for a happy hour and decided to stop at Monks since we had not been there for a while. We sat at the bar and I was looking for a cocktail while hubby wanted a beer. I ordered the I Love Scotch, Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch and it was tasty and interesting. I ordered the Croque Madam with duck fat fries (they have the best) and hubby ordered the grilled cheese and soup. Both were delicious. Tried a 10 Years of Vernon to finish out the meal. The bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable about their cocktails. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

    Beer Flight

    This review is based solely on the beer at Monks Cellar. I did not try the food. This is a restaurant but they also have their brewing setup on display inside. Very cool vibes but more upscale than a typical brewery. I stopped in around 7:30pm for a few beers and ended up grabbing a flight. It's not on their menu but they can do taster pours for about $2-3 each. After my initial round of tasting, I really enjoyed the dark Mexican lager with great toasty malt flavor and the pale ales were also great. I decided to try out their barrel aged beers as well. My god, this is where they shine here. The barrel aged sours here are incredible. Some of the best I've had. I ended up talking to one of the restaurant partners, Paul, and he told me about their open fermentation system and unique white wine barrel that they've used for years to barrel age Belgian classics. This is a MUST TRY in Roseville for any true beer lover. Get the barrel aged stuff. I head the food is good too!

    Food and beer both were good, Scottish egg and pretzel is a must, the cheese sauce for the pretzel *chefs kiss*

    Let's start off with the service. When you go, you need to ask to sit in Nicole's section. My goodness she was the one of the best servers we have ever had. She always had a smile on her face and listened when we talked to her. She made our experience here absolutely wonderful. Thank you, Nicole!!!! The restaurant looks small but it is long! Nicely decorated and the bar is cute! Now the food. We have been here twice and both times we have ordered the Scotch egg. If you have never tried one. Do it. The flavors are delicious and pairs so well with the garlic aioli, pickled onions and arugula. It also comes with a horseradish type sauce, I am not of fan of horseradish but my husband said it was good. We also tried the Monk's burger. It comes with arugula, the pickled onions with a side of garlic aioli. Freaking YUM. Their fries are interesting, not my favorite but only because they seem to be oddly hallow in the center..? Not sure if it's because they are fried in duck fat or what... nonetheless, they are good. I also enjoyed a strawberry fields tequila drink that is very refreshing and not overly sweet. Hubs got the arbitrary beer and he thought it was delicious! Last time we ate here we had the craftsman chicken sandwich. That was also to die for. This place knows how to do their food and their staff is stellar. If you haven't been here, go. You won't be disappointed.

    The scotch egg is so delicious, I seriously wanted to order five. Drinks were fantastic and the service is great!

    I absolutely love this place. The scotch egg is so delicious, I seriously wanted to order five. Drinks were fantastic, service was great, and I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu.

First thing that happened when we walked in? A few members of the band we were literally about to see that night was just... there. Casually existing. We didn't bug them (we're cool like that), but that alone set the vibe. So yes, you might casually run into your favorite band before a show. No big deal. Now let's talk service. I didn't catch our waitress's name, but she was basically Superwoman in human form. She was serving multiple tables, including the band, moving nonstop, and somehow still checking in on us like we were her only table. Efficient, friendly, on top of everything. The kind of service that makes you immediately relax and think, "Okay, this is going to be a good night." Drinks came out fast and were actually good. Not "this will do before a concert" good. Actually delicious. Strong enough to feel it, smooth enough to order another. We ordered the asada tacos and sliders and both absolutely delivered. Perfect pre-show fuel. No regrets. No crumbs left behind. Goose Port set the tone for the entire night. Great drinks, great food, fantastic service, and a cool atmosphere that just feels right before heading into a show. If you're going to Goldfield, this is the move. Definitely coming back for future concert pregames.

She may…read morehave been having a bad day of some sort but she alone is the reason we will never be back. There seemed to be lots of regulars at the bar who were waiting on her to come back from wherever she disappeared to. We came in around 430 and waited for about 10 minutes before she finally came to the bar and one of the regulars pointed at us for her to help us. We should have just left... she seemed off just from the first "how are you?" We decided to stay and give it a try. We all have bad days, right? So we ordered two beers on draft and their homemade potato chips. She stumbled her reply and said "just chips?" I said yep. We grabbed our beers from her and sat at a table. Right after that, we watched her take a big shot someone bought for her. We waited and waited and waited for our chips. Then Stevie took another break and went to vape out the front door - which she blew like at the door and it all came inside. She went outside and stayed out there for about 10 min or so just vaping - then came back in with food trash. We've been waiting about 30 min at this point for chips and we were going to order another beer and other food. My husband was standing at the bar for at least 10 min waiting to order. A friend of hers or a regular, whatever he was, went slightly behind the counter to get a beer from the fridge and just told her he was getting it. When Stevie finally came back behind the bar someone bought her another huge shot and she went to their table to chug it. At this point she was stumbling and looked very out of it. One of the regulars shook his glass and said I've been waiting about 20 min for refill. Another friend of the bartender just laughed and said yeahhhh. We were beyond annoyed and my husband as politely as he could, asked for our card back and she slurred out "what's the last name?" Got the card and went to sign the receipt- my husband said you never even put in our chips. She acted so confused. He's like remember? We ordered chips? She just stared at him like a deer in the headlights. What a mess. You shouldn't allow your employees to chug shots while working. This was before 5pm. I understand you have friends and are very well loved by everyone there which is great, but there is NO customer service here. Not even the regulars sitting at the bar get it. We tried to give this place a shot after years of passing by and we were interested in the food. The place was clean and they had a cool little dj booth in the corner. It's decorated like a sports bar... unfortunately we won't be back and I will discourage anyone from going here. There was a guy in the kitchen who seemed to care how she was acting and he apologized many times for her behavior and offered to make us free chips- we accepted but ended up leaving before because of Stevie. There was another older man there that cleaned the tables up and helped deliver food - not sure if he was the owner, he was drinking a beer behind the bar when we showed up and eating something- if he was the owner, he should watch how much his bartenders are drinking on the job. That could get messy.. good luck.
