- The Corcoran GroupJuly 10, 2013Be 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.Upvoted Dec 23, 2023
- The New YorkerJanuary 3, 2014“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

- aFebruary 3, 2016Fantastic 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.

- Thomas QuinlanNovember 27, 2010This 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!
- Tasting TableDecember 19, 2014This 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

- Carlos PereaNovember 18, 2012Great 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.
- David GwilliamJuly 11, 2011Despite, 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
- Brew YorkApril 23, 2012Known 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!
- LorenzoOctober 4, 2014Having 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.
- Rick MoserNovember 3, 2013If 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.
- Owen HerterichAugust 28, 2016I’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.
- raymondweilOctober 18, 2011Hail 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.

- LorenzoOctober 4, 2014If you are looking for great beer and expert bar attenders, this is the place. Ask the bartender for suggestions according to your taste.
- WhiskeyAvengerJune 17, 2018Great beer selection but this place is weird. Why call it Burp anything if they shush you for something as silly as laughing.
- Lee LawrenceJanuary 17, 2016Awesome bar with a cool but novelty concept. If you're feeling ballsy, SHH the bartender.
- eric mortensenJuly 25, 2016Great murals on the walls, an always changing beer selection, and good vibes.
- Adam LauriaDecember 29, 2013Great 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.
- Jonah EatonApril 17, 2015they periodically shush the entire place. quiet and small. You go here so you can hear the person you are talking to over a drink
- Patrick DuffyMarch 23, 2013This place is really cool. Medieval themed, very quiet and the bartender is wearing a renaissance outfit.

- Colin GibbsDecember 12, 2012What 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.
- DavidNovember 4, 2014My favorite thing about this place is the bartender who shushes everybody rather frequently. The crowd sometimes does not follow instructions.

- Probably one of my favorite bars, wish more places would be as quiet as this!
- GadlingSeptember 7, 2010Spend 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.
- Chris LehaultJuly 23, 2010Some of the best Belgian beer in the city. Go with something new, there're all quality.
