We hadn't been here in a couple years and I forgot how GOOD it is. I definitely recommend making a reservation as they fill up quickly during peak hours. The inside is a welcome change from normal industrial modern restaurants. It boasts more of a cozy pub feel but it bursting with laughter and conversation from guests. We got the croquettes to start which were melt in your mouth delicious. The craftsman sandwich was crunchy and flavorful at a great price point. The fries are just insane. Like almost criminal. Hands down best French fries you'll get any where. We have been talking about them ever since. Their cocktail and beer list were both excellent. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and even had a great conversation with our 7 year old which made him feel extra special. They do have a kids menu which makes for a wonderful family night out that both kids and adults can enjoy. We can't wait to come back!

Went here on New Year's Eve for the first time. The ambiance is a rustic ole town feel which fits this place perfectly. It is much bigger on the inside than you would think. Well done inside. Our waitress Karalyna was awesome. She was busy and running around to multiple tables. We never needed anything because she was very attentive to everyone. The food and beer was very good. The burgers were cooked perfectly. Very juicy and tender. The French dip is a good size portion sandwich. The fish and chips were also good. Since it was Tuesday it was trivia night. It was fun and we enjoyed it. The reason we give them a 4 star is because their menu is limited. They only have one steak listed on the menu and it is only an 8 ounce. No special on New Year's Eve. But I understand this brewery and not a fancy restaurant. With all that being said, we like this place and will be back.

Let's start off with the service. When you go, you need to ask to sit in Nicole's section. My goodness she was the one of the best servers we have ever had. She always had a smile on her face and listened when we talked to her. She made our experience here absolutely wonderful. Thank you, Nicole!!!! The restaurant looks small but it is long! Nicely decorated and the bar is cute! Now the food. We have been here twice and both times we have ordered the Scotch egg. If you have never tried one. Do it. The flavors are delicious and pairs so well with the garlic aioli, pickled onions and arugula. It also comes with a horseradish type sauce, I am not of fan of horseradish but my husband said it was good. We also tried the Monk's burger. It comes with arugula, the pickled onions with a side of garlic aioli. Freaking YUM. Their fries are interesting, not my favorite but only because they seem to be oddly hallow in the center..? Not sure if it's because they are fried in duck fat or what... nonetheless, they are good. I also enjoyed a strawberry fields tequila drink that is very refreshing and not overly sweet. Hubs got the arbitrary beer and he thought it was delicious! Last time we ate here we had the craftsman chicken sandwich. That was also to die for. This place knows how to do their food and their staff is stellar. If you haven't been here, go. You won't be disappointed.

We loved this place! Great food and selection of beer. We always have wonderful service and one server always made us feel like family. We miss her terribly and will be less likely to patron now.

We've been here a few times and my family loves the Monk's Cellar. We make up every excuse to come visit. We got to visit on a colder day so I went with comfort food and finally got the cottage pie. My husband got the Reuben fries. SO SO good. Every time we come in the menu is updated and is unbelievable, the service is awesome and we will be repeat customers for sure.

Our daughter and son in law recommended this place to us. The place was pretty crowded. Too warm to sit outside, but we were sat at a two top near a window. Hubs had the Octoberfest beer and I ordered my standard Irish coffee. (The cream was too sweet but at least it wasn't Bailey's). Hubs judges restaurants on their beef dips and he said theirs were really good. The garlic aioli was so good and the au jus was perfect. I order the Monk burger, medium, no bun. It had pickled onions and cheese. It was not medium, but quite well done. A little dry but my husband's aioli and a little au jus made it better. The house made chips were phenomenal. So crispy and perfectly salted. Our service could not have been better. Thank you Michaela!

Been planning on coming here since July 2023 when I bid on a Beer and Cheese pairing they donated to the Make A Wish foundation. It was worth the wait. First we were given a tour by the head brewer Christian. Christian was fantastic and you could just feel the enthusiasm, joy and passion as he shared his knowledge of brewing beer with us. After the tour we did our Beer and Cheese pairing. Now I've done a lot of Wine and Cheese but never Beer and Cheese. I was really surprised how well the cheese paired with the beer that they chose to pair. It was a fun experience. We decided to have dinner after the pairing. I had then scotch egg and a nut vegan burger. The scotch egg was a little over cooked but tasty. The burger was interesting. You could definitely taste the seeds and nuts that made up the patty. It was different, tasty but not something I would probably order again. Someone else ordered the sausage plate and shared a piece of sausage with me.... Very good sausage. I'm ordering that next time. The place has a welcoming, classic brew pub feel. Nice seating area outside and lots of room in side to either hang with a big group or have an intimate conversation with someone. Oh and I can't forget the beer. They have some really tasty beer. My only regret is forgetting to buy some to take home with me. I was told they only distribute locally in the Sacramento area so I guess I'll be going back to get me some beer. My two favs: the Pride of Felix and the Lidska Moucha. Definitely coming back.

TL;DR very good, could be better, but you won't complain about your food. Another place that had been on my list of places to try that happened to fall into place this past weekend. The wife wanted to see this long black hard engine names Big Boy in DT Roseville so off we went. We came hungry so went for it.....Menage Tois or whatever 3 onion burger thing, fish & chips, and the French dip. We also got 4 different beers. I don't know if we've been fein'in for beer but I haven't had this good of a beer experience in a long time. I think the last time was Moksa when every beer I tried was great. We got the Broken Pieces (Pils), Rooted With (Belgian Blonde), Lidsla Moucha (Amber), and the Heavy Robes (Barleywine)...all were great. I was most excited to try their burgers as there is a local celebrity in the Roseville area named Bobby who is like some sort of Burger phenom and this place is his favorite.... I gotta say, as far as the burger itself (the meat) it was probably one of the best I've had in my life. It was actually worth the hype. The type of burger I got was forgettable....the onion wasn't really oniony and the kitchen failed to spread the horseradish correctly so the middle was all horseradish and the edges had none....but the burger itself was awesome. Seeing as how we just had the fish and chips from The Boxing Donkey, in comparison this one is worse. The fish was super buttery, but significantly smaller in portion. It probably wouldn't fill you up, but ok none the less. My wife liked the tartar sauce. The French Dip was pretty tasty. The ju was good and actually had flavor instead of just tasting like salty brown water. My wife enjoyed the French Dip mostly plain without dipping into the ju so that should tell you something. Overall the food was pretty good, I feel like the portions could be better....I actually thought we would end up with leftovers but our fat asses ate all three of the entrees. The fries were forgettable, duck fat or not and service could have been a bit better, but it was a busy day so I'm not going to complain too much about it. Overall good experience and would come back again

Taco Tuesday and Trivia Night starting at 6:30 PM with Quizmaster Zack. Parked at the garage/structure and walked over. Party of 3 for dinner, we didn't know beforehand about Trivia night but definitely joined in on the fun. Each table playing got a paper and pen for the 30 questions. The quiz master was mic'd up, and the speaker system was very good, even where we were in the breezeway past the restrooms. The 30 questions sort of had a theme, covering topics such as current events like the Super Bowl, the Grammy Awards, Groundhog Day, Lunar New Year (dragon and moon-based questions), tall mountains, centenarians, phobias, old wive's tales, Godzilla, oysters, 80's movie title anagrams, etc. It was neat to be able to play along while the bites came out. We had the scotch egg, reuben fries, garlic fries, chips and salsa (x2), large pretzel, and sodas. The pretzel was substantial and fluffy good, with cheese and mustard dips. I liked the Reuben fries, too. Team #triplethreat didn't do too shabby! Missed the 8-point last question, though. Hadn't been in since before Covid for a Friendsgiving, but we chose this spot since The Place was closed, and it did not disappoint at all!
