PUMPKIN CARVING RESULTS
AT THE OLD MONK
You carved 270 pumpkins at the Old Monk this Halloween, over double last year's 113. With the Monk matching every dollar, we were proud to write a check for $5,500 to the North Texas Food Bank. Thanks to Jake and all the staff (especially the kitchen crew who had to clean out the pumpkins), to Guinness for helping with the free pints and to Janet at American Food Service for helping with
free pumpkins.

 NEW & ROTATOR BEER
The Oktoberfest beers and Pumpkin ales that helped us forget the 100 degree Texas Summer and usher in Autumn are behind us and it is now almost time to turn to the more stout and complex beers of Christmas and Winter. We will use the next couple of weeks to showcase some old favorites as well as some newly arrived brews before the seasonals hit the taps. The selection of Christmas and Winter seasonals is generous and exciting this year. We will pack them into the coolers and onto the chalkboards the best we can. Look out for some of these highlights:
(Belgians) - St. Bernardus Christmas, Delirium Noel, Affligem Noel, N'Ice Chouffe , Samiclaus... (American craft) - Sierra Nevada Celebration, Anchor Christmas, Breckenridge Christmas, Deschutes Jubel Ale, Boulevard Nutcracker Ale, New Belgium 2 Below, Rahr's Winter Warmer...

CHRISTMAS BEER/IRISH WHISKEY TASTINGS AT THE IDLE
Winter tastings are back. We have done a series of tastings in the past that proved very popular. The tastings are casual and self-paced. You are provided with an individual cheese plate to complement the beers, informational materials, tasting notes, a comment voting card, and give-aways from the represented breweries and distributors and well known members of the local beer community are available to answer questions. There is no formal presentation. The goal is to encourage friends to discuss and taste the beers and to trust their
own palates.

LARGE PARTIES/GET TOGETHERS/HOLIDAY PARTIES
The pub is a perfect place for casual get-togethers and after work parties. People can come and go as they please and move around to mingle. We do not have minimums or rental charges and our food works out a lot less expensive than "per piece" food pricing at hotels and restaurants.
The Idle Rich Pub
The Idle can accommodate larger groups, up to 75 or so, depending on the day and time. There are several areas to choose from including areas with bar height tables, which are perfect for groups that want to mingle. You can order from the menu or simply email us ([email protected]), and we will send you our party food proposal that will give an idea of what can be done. Finger food for happy hour/after work groups can be as low as $5 per person.
The Old Monk
The Monk is great for groups up to 20 or so. It is very hard to reserve tables or an area at The Monk unless it is early in the week or early in the evening. You can order from the menu or pre-order larger cheeseboards, sandwich trays, or starters.
Blackfriar Pub
Blackfriar can accommodate groups of up to 25 inside depending on the day and time and parties of up to 40 on the patio (there are 8 overhead patio heaters on the main patio which make it very comfortable except on very bad days, and the fire pit is back for the winter). It is a perfect spot for after work on these mild Texas evenings.
Renfields Corner
Renfields can accommodate larger groups of up to 75 inside or parties of up to 60 on the rooftop deck. The deck now has overhead heaters and is a great casual spot for parties on milder weather days.

Just call the bar directly and the managers will do their best to accommodate your group whenever possible. |
