Help us make it rightThe Old Monk is located on historic Henderson Avenue which has a lively nightlife after dark and great antique shopping during the day. In keeping with the neighborhood, The Old Monk is finished out with many antiques and older pub pieces including light from a monastery in Pennsylvania, a back bar from a chemist's shop in England and a turn of the century altar door.

The Old Monk has bagged the 'Best of Dallas' title, by the Dallas Observer, for three consecutive years. The decor is based on a monastery concept - wooden walls, wooden floor and wooden plank tables. The beer list is not what you can call extensive, but do try the Belgian beer on your visit to the place. Charming waitresses bring you large portions of anything that you order (Mussels Fritas...
This is the joint to hit up when a fish ‘n’ chips craving strikes: delicately battered and nicely fried, the fish is served with a massive mound of long, stringy fries. Even though the bar is owned by a couple of Irish guys who prefer that you douse your fish with malt vinegar, ketchup is also available. Hearty moules frites come with the same fab fries. If fowl sounds better than fish, then...
The bar’s already at capacity when it opens at 4pm. Young nine-to-fivers come here to unwind while standing around dark mahogany patio tables. Location ideal for making fun of frat boys fronting large entourages. Wait staff rewards you for not being in college by remembering your drink preference.
This is the place to go for perhaps the greatest fish and chips ever. The delicately battered and beautifully fried fish is tempura-like in its refinement and served with a massive number of long, stringy fries. Even though the bar is owned by a couple of Irish guys, and they prefer you eat your fish with malt vinegar, catsup is available. And then there are the hearty moules frites, mussels...

Good food in a fun bar atmosphere. There's a nice patio. My husband and I went on a Sunday afternoon. They have some nice brunch items but we opted for regular menu items. We started with the spicy tempura mushrooms which were very tasty and came with 2 dipping sauces. Then I had the Wurst board which was Bratwurst, Knockwurst with some great cheese and breads. It was very good. My husband had...

Those outside the hood may know Feargal McKinney's place as a watering hole, but those within walking distance pop in regularly for crispy fish and chips, divine steamed mussels, and frites to go with their imported beers.
The service is friendly, and the Henderson Avenue spot is clean but not pretentious, cozy but not confining. The frites are the best we've ever had, and the European draft beer is so plentiful that we're almost willing to stray from "the usual."
Cigar and pipe smoking is allowed, but only on the open outdoor patio.
During happy hour, weekdays 4pm-7pm, all draft beers and well drinks are $1 off.
The kitchen's open until 10pm Sundays, 11pm other days. Bring the kids early--those under 21 are not allowed after 7pm.
