    Be sure to obey the one cardinal rule - no talking loudly, or else you'll get a big "SHHHH" from the bartender! The beer list is excellent, so it's a great place to (quietly) catch up with a friend.

    “In the nineties, the bartenders wore monks’ robes and played a soundtrack of Gregorian chants; now it’s more of a reform situation, allowing for jazz and civvies.” Read more

    Craft and high end beers. Menu changes frequently. Besides, how can you not love a place that relishes quiet conversation.

    AWESOME bar for New Years Eve: no ridiculous cover, not crowded, quiet, free cheese & bread, and champagne on the house at midnight. Let's keep this secret safe: Shhhhhhhhhh.

    Fantastic tap selection, always something new to try. Best place to have an actual chat with someone, especially in this area.

    We've Shhhed people since the early '90s. Appreciate the things that stay the same. Volume varies from barkeep to barkeep, when I'm behind the bar I try to keep it quiet. Enjoy the beer/conversation.

    Shhh. The best bar in Manhattan to have an actual conversation. Trust the bartenders to select the perfect Belgian beer for you.

    This place is fantastic - they have great beer & quiet ambience. Very adult friendly. They don't serve food but you can order or bring food in! Get a $5 pie @ Totale's on St. Mark's before you go in!

    This place prides itself on its monastery theme and follows it through with a shhhhh policy. Employees will literally shush you if you speak too loudly. Order a seasonal brew and sip silently. Read more

    They have excellent selection of craft beers—particularly Belgian and Western European—so give the west coast IPAs a break and try something new.

    Great place to explore beers from around the world, especially belgium style beers. The Monk Bartender will recommend beers that will satisfy your pallet, but remembers to Shhhhhhhhh! Talk low.

    Despite, or perhaps because of, the shushing, this place has a good beer selection and a good vibe. Perfect for an afternoon dip into the world's best brews. Read more

    Known as the place where you "get shushed," this sister bar to Standings sports a more reserved atmosphere and a Belgian influence in its beer selection... and free frites three times a week!

    Having read your comments in here, I was actually a bit disappointed as I expected the bar to be much quieter. They should "shhhhh" people more often. Great place to drinking the finest Belgian beers.

    If you are a weirdo and like drinking in a library you'll love it here. When i was here there was a woman reading a book with her teddy bear. Have fun drinking in silence, fucking weirdos.

    I’ve been trying to keep this one a secret. Small bar that pretty much only serves craft beers. Always quiet, has a sort of medieval theme.

    Hail the Castle of Beer Worship! Be greeted with air-tossed cherubs on the walls and tight patio up front at the Belgian beer bar in the East of Manhatten. Let your independent state of mind run free.

    Great quiet atmosphere... so quiet that if you get to loud, a big SHHHHHH can be heard throughout the bar... a tradition that keeps respect intact. That & they got Delerium beer! SCORE-shhhhh.. Read more

    If you are looking for great beer and expert bar attenders, this is the place. Ask the bartender for suggestions according to your taste.

    Great beer selection but this place is weird. Why call it Burp anything if they shush you for something as silly as laughing.

    Great beer selection, and they shush the crowd when hooligans start speaking too loudly; two things I appreciate at a refined bar.

    At first I thought the shushing was obnoxious, then I grew to appreciate it. You can find a 1000 noisy bars in nyc, but only 1 quiet 1.

    Delicious beers from 'cross the pond you're sure to not know how to pronounce. Keep your voice down and everybody's friendly, but don't be surprised to get shushed. If you're lucky they'll have fries Read more

    What a weird bar. It has a good beer selection, but it feels like a library and I got shushed repeatedly by the bartendress for talking too loudly.

    My favorite thing about this place is the bartender who shushes everybody rather frequently. The crowd sometimes does not follow instructions.

    Spend some time admiring the artwork as you sip some of Belgium's finest beers. Oh, and of course: don't talk to loud. Overly garrulous patrons are frowned upon. -WV

    The Sistene Chapel of beer drinking. Gaze at the amusing murals, while you enjoy your brew. However, speak softly or get shushed.

    I was a little disappointed I did not get shushed the last time I went on a Saturday evening. But I didn't expect much at the twilight hour. Still anything on tap was delicious as usual.

    An unusual silence of a pub. The bonus of 'sshing' people will resolve that annoying ringing in your ears after a night out!
