gabby! opal! you guys are amazing! you made our first and second visit to troubled monk so special! we hadn’t come here before, and we were completely in the dark on what to order, we were guided through the process with such expertise and care! opal made us want to come back and bring our friends, and gabby impressed them just as much on our second visit. we loved every drink we had (and we had a lot lol) and we were inclined to enjoy more than we normally would just because of how good every drink was!! i especially recommended trying a flavoured tea, a “if the crown fits” and a “bold move”! thank so much again to opal, gabby, and troubled monk as a whole! we love it here, we’ll be back, and make this a regular visit for us during the warmer months. (gratuity earned not given!!!!!) tip your servers! these young ladies deserve it.

"text": "Troubled Monk Brewing is a fantastic spot for craft beer lovers. The beers were absolutely delicious, and doing a flight was a great way to try a variety. The Pineapple Sour was hands-down my favorite—refreshing and full of flavor.\n\nIf they served food, I know I’d stay longer and make more of a night of it, but as it stands, it’s still a great place to enjoy some high-quality brews in a laid-back setting. Definitely worth a visit!",

"text": "First time going. The patio is nice and I like the privacy with some of the huts. Nice place that you can take kids and dogs to.\nSnacks we ok can’t say anything about the beers as I don’t drink beer. They had a food truck so guessing they don’t have anything more than snacks\n\nThe waitress were a bit rude/short when we asked about soda flavors. But on the website they don’t label any flavor and it’s says to ask servers.- maybe they should label all items on website or menu to avoid this. Also weird that multiple waitress were at the table so twice we had to say the other lady helped us (guess it’s good they were at least making rounds) but they should be more organized.\n\nHave a few games the little kids were enjoying.\n\nParking is minimal so try to car pool.",

"text": "Went in today to have a drink since it's 29 degrees outside, ended up waiting for someone to take our order for 15 minutes. Went inside just to be told to go outside and wait so we waited 5 more minutes still. Nobody came after she said she'd be right out. We decided we would just grab a case and leave. Ended up waiting 5 minutes while four people stood behind the counter eating and chit-chatting and singing to the music before anybody noticed us. Definitely not my best experience there.",
