The Monk’s Cellar
With its bare wood tables and distressed
leather chairs, The Monk’s Cellar looks
more like a timeworn tavern in Brussels
than a five-year-old public house and
brewery on Vernon Street in downtown
Roseville. Complete the image with a
Belgian-style bière blanche, fermented
in open vessels within view of the
dining area, and a plate of moules frites
(mussels and fries).
