Monk's will reopen tomorrow, Aug. 14, at 5 p.m.

Monk's Cafe (16th and Spruce), site of a bizarre SEPTA accident Tuesday morning, will reopen tomorrow at 5 p.m., according to owner Tom Peters. Since the damage was to the front of the building on 16th Street, Peters says only the back bar and middle dining room will be open for business for now. Guests will be able to access them from the alley behind MonkÂ’s; Peters jokes that heÂ’ll use a password system, and the password is "SEPTA."

We're back in business, but not fully. Philadelphia License & Inspections allowed us to reopen the back bar and middle dining room on Saturday. Monk's is back to our regular hours of full menu from 11:30AM - 1AM & bar 'til 2AM daily. Guests have to enter through our service alley to reach the back bar door. We're calling it Monk's "Hole In The Wall" Speakeasy. You need to use the password "SEPTA". It was one of their busses that slammed into the entrance of Monk's. Thankfully, no one was injured. We really do have a hole in the wall right now. We expect all repairs to be completed by Monday, August 23rd & we'll have our front door back. Thanks for everyone's emails, texts & messages.
