A local gem in the Knox-Henderson area, relatively casual feel with a great whiskey and beer selection, craft cocktails, and high quality pub fare. Outside smoking area. Lively on the weekends!

This spot has a fantastic beer selection and excellent menu. But hands down, you cannot miss the Cheese Boards -- pick from a list of some amazing cheese and meat flavors to fit your palete.

Tell the staff what type of beer they desire and let them serve you. They are very well educated and provide the best personal service! The beer selection is AAA and All the staff is AAA. A must Go!

I really enjoyed sitting with my friends out in the patio. The spicy tempura mushrooms and goat cheese salad are amazing. Also, the Chardonnay on their wine list is worth a try!

Good size cheese board with plenty of options, great cocktails, lots of beer options both draft and bottle. But not a sports bar. Only 4 small tvs and a projector they only use for special groups.

A great cheeseboard with tons of sides, plus the option to get a solo cheeseboard or a cheeseboard and soup combo.

Just on the basis of suds alone, this English-style pub chugs up high marks with brews from 10 countries including three varieties of Chimay, the heady Belgian beer brewed by Trappist Monks. Read more

Try the late night food menu! Order from the bar though, the waiter service outside is slow. Amazing beer and whiskey selection! 4/5

Grab a friend to hang at this laid-back bar. Great for a Chimay on the patio. Walking distance to several restaurants for dinner afterward.

#5 on my list of Best Hot Chocolate in Dallas— http://ow.ly/8m7vq. "Knox Chox" is hot chocolate with butterscotch schnapps. Dangerously good: the alcohol can't be tasted, but the butterscotch can.

Great beer selection. We had their cheese plate and it was ok. The place is good!

If you are here for brunch, the biscuits and gravy are a MUST-HAVE. Can be ordered as a side with the traditional breakfast

Our party of six finished off the bread pudding in five minutes and promptly ordered a second one. It's a good thing they serve it with spoons and not forks, or someone could have been injured.

Recommend the mini burgers, absolutely awesome. Approved by a visiting Viking from Norway ;)

Ask about their rotators and cask. These are always worth a taste, which they will provide.

This is a fun place to hang out with a decent patio.

It's the consistency across the board that makes the Old Monk stand out as 2012's winner for Best Bar Food in Dallas.

Red Sandra, Guinness Stew, Killer Mushrooms & Fish-n-chips...all recommended!

Great Belgian beer selection
Alicye LimaMay 28, 2019
Good beers, foods for vegetarian/vegans don’t excite, few and not so taste options. The place is ok, but inside, the music is too loud.
Victor SansoneAugust 26, 2016
Best Fish and chips and great english ales
Marta CulpFebruary 18, 2012
If you like club sandwiches this one is very delicious!
Toreya SheaJanuary 29, 2012
You're probably there for the beer, but check out the perfect gin and tonic!
