Monnik

Hi Friends!

The hubs and I went to try out the new Monnik location in downtown New Albany in May this year (and yes I’m just now blogging this) and we enjoyed it. It was a beautiful day so we ate outside on their patio, I loved their outside area!!! We split their pub pretzel w/beer cheese. I wasn’t a big fan, I thought the pretzel was too large and dough-y but the beer cheese was good! We also split their chilli cheese fries and they were very yummy!! We of course had a few of their beers, we are fans of their beer always! All in all a cool location and good visit. I’d rate it a 7/10!

Pearl St Taphouse

Ya’ll …

I am honestly shocked I have not written a blog post about my favorite local taphouse yet!! Pearl St Taphouse has some of the best bar food and a TON of beers to try. They are literally in my top 5 favorite places to eat. Please try them out sometime if you have yet to experience their food and beer. They have a lovely patio area that we enjoy sitting at if it’s warm enough outside. The staff are just so friendly! I love everything about them. My FAVORITE thing there is the Giant Pretzel and Beer Cheese Flight. A lot of times I end up eating two of these and making them my meal. Their pretzel is the perfect temperature to enjoy, perfect salt, and not too hard or chewy. Their beer cheese is even better, you know how sometimes beer cheese is gritty? Well Pearl St’s is not that way at all, I love their beer cheese so much! Josh really enjoys their Powder Keg Dry Rub Chicken Wings, and we also collectively enjoy their Parmesan Encrusted Grilled Cheese with their yummy sweet potato fries. Pictured below is their pretzel and beer cheese flight and the wings, not pictured is the beer I tried there which was the DuClaw PastryArchy Mexican Hot Chocolate Brown Ale, it was actually really good so I highly recommend you try it sometime if you like darker beers!
