We highly recommend a visit to The Old Monk, an Irish pub located at 2847 North Henderson Avenue, Dallas, TX. (Don’t try to get there in a large rig. The streets are a little tight.)
Located just north of downtown Dallas, this pub is one of our favorite places to go for lunch. They have outside dining and inside bar and tables. The indoor area is fairly loud. I’m not sure how the small crowd generates the noise, maybe they run a crowd noise tape through their speakers.
They are known for their Mulligan Stew. Apparently they have a sponsor for it because it is now called Guinness Beef Stew. Whatever it is called, it is great.
They also have some great sandwiches. We normally order a few beers, two cups of the stew, a Reuben sandwich and a Turkey Club. We split the sandwiches. It is really more food than you need. But, we only get here once every year of two.
