Monk's Pub is a beer pub at 205 W Lake St in the Loop, Chicago, that takes group reservations for birthday drinks, team happy hours and casual group dinners. It has poured beer under the Monk's name since 1978, and its deep beer list and burgers make it an easy pick for a relaxed group night downtown.
Groups book tables in the main pub room, a large space with a long bar, dining tables and wooden booths along the walls. Time Out Chicago calls it a cavernous Loop tavern with an after-work crowd.
A group night here is built around beer and pub food. The list runs to about 120 beers with 16 drafts that change often, plus wine, cocktails and spirits, and every staff member is a Certified Cicerone Server who can steer the table. The kitchen serves burgers, sandwiches, wraps and salads, with vegetarian options, the Beyond Burger and gluten-free buns. The room has the feel of an old European inn, with barrels, wine-bottle racks, bookshelves and chandeliers, and free WiFi.
Groups plan ahead with a table reservation in the main room. At peak times the whole party needs to arrive before it is seated, and each table gets one check split across no more than two credit cards. The bar is open weekdays from 10AM, Saturdays noon to 6PM, and is closed Sundays.
Planning a group night at Monk's Pub starts with reserving a table for the group in the main pub room. On the day, the group gathers in the main pub room for beer and pub food, and at busy times everyone should arrive together so the table can be seated.
