    When you want a hardy meal, a good beer or cocktail, and ambience for a good chat....this is the place to go! Indoor and outdoor seating. Seating near people or far away from people. My favorite was the pretzel! My friend and I got so full just off of appetizers. Will be going back!

    Came on a Saturday night at 545, told it's a 30 minute wait but we were able to find bar seats. The inside looked very cozy with a variety of seating options. Nice place to chill but not the best food. Hamburger was okay, fries a little soggy and the fish and chips were not flavorful. Overall disappointed in the food but liked the ambiance . I ordered a cocktail and it was a bit too sweet for me . My husband tried 2 different beers.

    This is my first time here. The beer was delicious. The burger and fries were tasty. Our server was fantastic. I will definitely comeback back.

    West Coast Tripel. I'd recommend it.

    Beer here is great. Lots to choose from. Seating can be difficult though. Parking can be sparse but we've kicked everyone we came here. Food was good enough. We were even lucky enough to bring our dog!

    Came here on a busy Saturday just a few minutes after they opened, there was already a line and I was able to get a seat at the bar. I ordered a pint of the Vernon Street Lager ($7) and the fish and chips ($22). The fish and chips had a slightly sweet flavor to them, which was unique. It came with duck fat fries, which were great, some coleslaw, a lemon wedge, and some sort of aoli and tartar sauce. I also got some ketchup and malt vinegar on the side. Everything came out tasting fresh and would try other things on the menu. It came out to $32 + tip.

    Date night! Perfect environment & vibe! Cozy but not crazy crowded..love the staff! Very helpful & attentive Hubby made these past three reservations, & we used the free parking garage on oak st, did a little night stroll to the restaurant. Great night!

    My friend and I came by for dinner. She previously been here for Oktoberfest. Very lively place. We opted to sit outside, have some non-alcoholic beverages, a couple of appetizers and enjoy the nice weather. We had the following: *Jake is a non-alcoholic cocktail - really good. I enjoyed the citrus flavors. We later found out this was named after our waiter and another non-alcohol drink was named after his wife. So cute! * ATLÉTICA Copper - my friend wanted another non-alcoholic brew but was accidentally given this one. She didn't like it. It wasn't to her taste. *Large Pretzel - served with spicy mustard and pub cheese. Good and really big portion. *Croquettes - Mashed potatoes with roasted jalapeño, crispy bacon & cheddar cheese. They were tasty! *Scotch Egg - Soft-boiled egg wrapped in ground sausage & breadcrumbs and fried. We both like this. Delicious! *Duck fat fries - traditional. I accidentally ordered traditional even tho we wanted the Parmesan & Cheese one. We were both a tad disappointed that we didn't taste much Duck fat. Overall, lively place, good vibes, friendly and chill servers. Located on Vernon and Washington Blvd.

    I've been coming to Monks Cellar for a few years now and wow!! The food is incredible, my fave appetizer is the pretzel! The bar tenders are amazing and always make anything I've ordered great. The whisky options...10/10! Recently I went for Oktoberfest and had so much fun! Definitely will be returning for the music and vibes again!

    This place has a wonderful atmosphere. The beer is good. We had the Scotch Egg. It was perfect and the best that I have had. Our entrees were excellent. I had the Rabbit Confet ang my girlfriend had the Carbonnmond Flamande. They were excellent. One of the owners visited our table a couple of times. If we didn't live so far away, we would definitely be regulars.

    Fish and Chips

    Came here on the way back from Reno. Cute brewery. Besides beer they do have food. Also non-alcoholic beverages. Got the Reuben sandwich with garlic fries. Garlic fries were super yummy. Perfect crunch and not too much garlic. The fish and chips were good too- didn't have too much batter like some places. We sat outside under the patio with the doggies. They have several heaters so it was fine. The waiter was always checking up on us which was nice since we were the only ones out in the patio. Got a quick peak of the inside while headed to the bathroom. It's really nice inside. Lots of space and tables.

    A fabulous chocolate mousse. Love the whipped cream is on the bottom.

    We were out looking for a happy hour and decided to stop at Monks since we had not been there for a while. We sat at the bar and I was looking for a cocktail while hubby wanted a beer. I ordered the I Love Scotch, Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch and it was tasty and interesting. I ordered the Croque Madam with duck fat fries (they have the best) and hubby ordered the grilled cheese and soup. Both were delicious. Tried a 10 Years of Vernon to finish out the meal. The bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable about their cocktails. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

    Beer Flight

    This review is based solely on the beer at Monks Cellar. I did not try the food. This is a restaurant but they also have their brewing setup on display inside. Very cool vibes but more upscale than a typical brewery. I stopped in around 7:30pm for a few beers and ended up grabbing a flight. It's not on their menu but they can do taster pours for about $2-3 each. After my initial round of tasting, I really enjoyed the dark Mexican lager with great toasty malt flavor and the pale ales were also great. I decided to try out their barrel aged beers as well. My god, this is where they shine here. The barrel aged sours here are incredible. Some of the best I've had. I ended up talking to one of the restaurant partners, Paul, and he told me about their open fermentation system and unique white wine barrel that they've used for years to barrel age Belgian classics. This is a MUST TRY in Roseville for any true beer lover. Get the barrel aged stuff. I head the food is good too!

    Love the food, the ambiance is wonderful and service is fantastic especially the bartender Stevie!read more

    I am not sure what was happening on 3/19. The bartender I believe her name is Stevie, woah. She may…read morehave been having a bad day of some sort but she alone is the reason we will never be back. There seemed to be lots of regulars at the bar who were waiting on her to come back from wherever she disappeared to. We came in around 430 and waited for about 10 minutes before she finally came to the bar and one of the regulars pointed at us for her to help us. We should have just left... she seemed off just from the first "how are you?" We decided to stay and give it a try. We all have bad days, right? So we ordered two beers on draft and their homemade potato chips. She stumbled her reply and said "just chips?" I said yep. We grabbed our beers from her and sat at a table. Right after that, we watched her take a big shot someone bought for her. We waited and waited and waited for our chips. Then Stevie took another break and went to vape out the front door - which she blew like at the door and it all came inside. She went outside and stayed out there for about 10 min or so just vaping - then came back in with food trash. We've been waiting about 30 min at this point for chips and we were going to order another beer and other food. My husband was standing at the bar for at least 10 min waiting to order. A friend of hers or a regular, whatever he was, went slightly behind the counter to get a beer from the fridge and just told her he was getting it. When Stevie finally came back behind the bar someone bought her another huge shot and she went to their table to chug it. At this point she was stumbling and looked very out of it. One of the regulars shook his glass and said I've been waiting about 20 min for refill. Another friend of the bartender just laughed and said yeahhhh. We were beyond annoyed and my husband as politely as he could, asked for our card back and she slurred out "what's the last name?" Got the card and went to sign the receipt- my husband said you never even put in our chips. She acted so confused. He's like remember? We ordered chips? She just stared at him like a deer in the headlights. What a mess. You shouldn't allow your employees to chug shots while working. This was before 5pm. I understand you have friends and are very well loved by everyone there which is great, but there is NO customer service here. Not even the regulars sitting at the bar get it. We tried to give this place a shot after years of passing by and we were interested in the food. The place was clean and they had a cool little dj booth in the corner. It's decorated like a sports bar... unfortunately we won't be back and I will discourage anyone from going here. There was a guy in the kitchen who seemed to care how she was acting and he apologized many times for her behavior and offered to make us free chips- we accepted but ended up leaving before because of Stevie. There was another older man there that cleaned the tables up and helped deliver food - not sure if he was the owner, he was drinking a beer behind the bar when we showed up and eating something- if he was the owner, he should watch how much his bartenders are drinking on the job. That could get messy.. good luck.
