Very cool place indeed! Reminds me of Monks, similar in theme obviously, and set up as well, with the whole front bar back bar kinda thing. Great menu of beers. I was there on a Sat night so it was fairly busy, but service didn’t seem to lack terribly! A must stop for sure.

Went on a Sunday night so it wasn’t that crowded. Selection was incredible, unfortunately they were out of a lot of the more rare stuff when I went. The bartender said it was because they were really bust over the weekend but I figured that was a load of bull. At least she gave us our first round free. Nice little place, and it’s right across the street from Triumph Brewing which is a huge plus.

Interesting restaurant/bar in Old City. It was very crowded and noisy, but, surprisingly, we didn’t have to wait long for a table. We ended up being seated upstairs. The three of us shared an appetizer of frietes, which were very tasty. For dinner I had the Brugge chicken sandwich. The service was actually quite good and attentive considering how full it was. Their beer selection is great with a few harder to find Belgian beers. I was in a mood for triples that night so I ended up getting some St. Feuillien, Chimay Cinq Cents, De Dolle Dulle Teve, and a Westmalle.

Stopped in for a quick visit during a weekend trip to Philadelphia. Rest of the family was site seeing, so I only had time for one pint and no food. The bar was more or less full at 4PM on a Sunday. I was able to grab a bar stool, and the service quickly brought a Busty Blonde on request. The tap selection and bottle menu at this place are pretty insane. Nothing super rare or exclusive, but pretty much every Belgian in the bottle you would want to try. Tap selection offered nice variety, and a few choice non-Belgians. The vibe here was really relaxed and happy. It was a perfect place for a mid-afternoon pint. Would have loved to spend more time, but alas had no extra time.

Very nice place. Wonderful beer selection. A nice difference from Monk’s is that they take reservations. You can actually get a table on the weekends. However, they have less veggie-options than Monk’s. Service is good.

I’m not sure how Eulogy is much different the Monk’s. Both are small. Both have fantastic draft beer. They seemed to have a bigger/better bottle selection. I didn’t try the food, but it didn’t look any different than Monk’s. Service was freindly and attentive.

As stated below, Eulogy is small and narrow, but it is an exceptional purveyor of Belgians (tap and bottle). Throw in great food and it’s the best thing in Philadelphia without going to Belgium. Attentive service that is way above the rudeness found at Monk’s.

This place is small. Long and narrow with an overflow area and bar upstairs (when it’s open). The tap beer selection is good but not overly special IMO (Monk’s has ’em beat). I only had the frites with the 3 dipping sauces and they were just very good (large) French fries to me. Their Busty Blonde Ale had a chemical perfume essence to it I didn’t care for although it started to open up and show some complexity as I drank it. The Piraat on tap was good though. Was here @ 2 PM Thursday, I wouldn’t want to be here when it’s crowded. Got to see the upstairs area and it is interesting and quaint. Yes...it’s spendy. 8/20/09: I’m upping my rating since I’ve been here a few more times. This is a nice neighborhood Philly bar hang out. The Belgians on tap, food, and service are worth the effort to come here. if I lived in the area I’d be here regularly.

Swank, kind of enthusiasts place. I don’t think it’s for the run of the mill beer guy, but that’s also part of the appeal. You can go inside and just enjoy what it’s advertised as a great Belgian style place. It’s amazing. Pricey, but you get what you pay for. The food is amazing, I had a burger w/ Ardenne Ham. It was fantastic. Can find very rare brews.

Nice quaint pub with great beer and great food. I had some sausage and beans while my fiance had mussels. She raved about the food. The beers on tap were a tad pricey, but every one but 3 where from Belgium and were fresh and delicious. The bartender has lots of knowledge of the beers and help pair the beers with the food.
