Long hair and a penchant for silent prayer are, thankfully, not required at The Hairy Monk. A jonesing for over 30 beers—16 on tap and 17 in bottles—however, is a definite requirement at this Irish pub. Football—either British or American—is standard television fare here, where you’re surrounded by Tiffany lamps and an oak mantle adorned by votive candles. Drink your beer while enjoying Irish staples like beef stew and shepherd’s pie and assailing your ears with rock tunes from the jukebox. Or you can toss the beer aside for the bar’s martini menu, boasting such tasty delights as a watermelon martini. Saying grace before drinking: optional.
