Pendant lights salvaged from a European monastery hang over the bar, which tells you everything about how seriously this place takes atmosphere. An old-school beer bar and pub on Henderson Avenue, The Old Monk pours drafts from around the world alongside a rotating cast of locals, with fish and chips that regulars treat as a birthright. Weekday happy hour runs until seven and has a reputation for extending the evening considerably past anyone's original plan.

Fish and chips
“Their fish and chips are tops in the city.”
Dallas Observer -
Beer-battered Atlantic cod
“The fish and chips are UK-level good—beer-battered Atlantic cod is lightly coated, crisp, and hot, and the homemade tartar sauce is equal parts creamy and tangy.”
The Infatuation -
Mussels steamed in Hoegaarden
“Add the plump mussels steamed in Hoegaarden white ale to confirm that there’s nothing beer can’t do.”
