More Than a Bar

It's where your night starts.

Matt and Gretchen opened Monk's in 2001 because Sarasota needed a real local haunt. Somewhere you could pull up a stool, order oysters shucked fresh right in front of you, crack open a cold beer, and feel at home. No frills. Great service. Just the way it should be.
