Gastropub with extensive beer list, hearty food, late hours






























"Monk's kettle is a gastro pub at its finest. They have 28 draft beers and another 180 bottled so you're sure to find a brew for every palate. Their food is hearty and delicious, they do meat quite well and their kitchen is open later than most restaurants. Its often a favorite place to wrap up a night!" - Avocados and Coconuts
