The Monk’s

Sitio muy amplio para picar o tomar cerveza o cualquier bebida.
Ya, después de cenar, tomamos la ultima.
Una guinnes, morte subite, franciskaner y buckler 0,0.
Sitio agradable.

Painfully slow, inatentive, forgetful, even boarder line rude service. Our group of three waited 2.5 hours for a burger and salad. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the burger with onions and bree that I got was actually pretty good, but not worth the very bad service. I went back the next night for a beer with 7 Co workers, and it too our group 30 minutes in a very hot quiet bar to each get one beer.

Lo más interesante del local es su decoración, imitando el interior de una iglesia o abadía.
Aparte de esto se trata de un lugar para tomar unas cervezas y unas tapas que sin estar mal tampoco son nada del otro mundo.
En cuanto a cervezas oferta las que vende el grupo Heineken en España (Guiness, Murphy’s, Affligem, Paulaner, Birra Moretti, Judas…) y un par de artesanales, o mejor dicho, microcervecerías españolas, Cibeles y Palax.
Considerando la zona, el sitio está bien para unas cervezas de importación, aunque por otras zonas de Madrid hay cervecerías con una oferta mucho más amplia e interesante.

Nice ambience, quick service, good food. I went simple and had spaghetti bolognese and a grilled ham sandwich (just two slices of ham with Brie cheese between them). Very tasty.

It’s a once place to drink some beers from Europe, like Belgium and Irish. I like the decoration and the terrace are real good at night

Loved this place! I found it accidentally while I was looking for another place and just settled for The Monk’s instead.
The space is incredible– a former church I assume, or if it’s not, they did an amazing job making it look that way. Vaulted ceilings, crazy chandeliers, etc. Just a beautiful room to have a drink– I added two photos to try to do it justice.
The food was pretty solid too– I got a spanish quesadilla (sorry, I was weary from a long road trip) as well as a goat cheese an onion tarte I think. Both were way more refined and substantial than what we in the States expect from bar food.
The drink (Hendrick’s & soda) was properly presented in a huge sniffer, sliced cucumber & lime, with soda on the side for me to add my desired amount. I think it might have been like 8 euro, but so be it. It was worth it. Twice.
I was there on a Wednesday night with Real playing on TV (it was an away game, I assume scene would have been different if the game was at home, just a couple blocks from The Monk’s), and it was pretty quiet. Not dead, but a reserved, small crowd.
Very close to the AC Cuzco by Marriott where I was staying, so if you’re there looking for a nearby pub/​bar, this is a solid choice. Bartender spoke at least enough English to take my drink and food order (I tried as much as I could in Spanish). Oh, and free Wifi…

Es una cervecería-​restaurante decorada como una abadía. Es interesante para ir a tomar cafés, como merienda, porque tienen una carta muy amplia, o para ir a tomar un coctel por la noche. También tienen una pantalla gigante donde ver los partidos y wifi gratis.
La decoración es muy chula, cálida, con vidrieras y maderas, y mesas muy íntimas situadas en varias alturas. La comida es sencillita, sándwiches, tapitas… Y un menú del día baratito y completo. En verano ponen terracita, pero no es recomendable porque se pierde toda la esencia del sitio, que está en su decoración
