The Tavern
No frills. All heart.
Black Monk Tavern has been pouring on Gollihar Road since 2015. It's small, dark and proudly divey, with a pool table, pinball machines, a jukebox and a little stage for live bands. It looks a bit plain from the outside; regulars will tell you not to let that fool you.
The bartenders learn your name fast, the kitchen in the back turns out some of the best fish tacos in town, and the room fills up with locals, bands and friends of bands. Come by yourself or bring the crew.
