Monks On The Commons

Monks On The Commons Monks On The Commons- Modern American Food offering Soulful Food & Sinful Cocktails. Monks on the Go Are you wondering why we are called MONKS?

Permanently closed.

Throughout history, monks left their homes and families to pursue their calling with other like-minded individuals. Never ones to rely on outsourcing, they trusted their own knowledge and skills to build what they needed. Over time, monks from all over the world would come to create self-sustaining hubs of scholars, inventors, farmers, and brewers. For starters, we can thank monks for beer! What b

egan as a necessary alternative to contaminated water, they fashioned into one of our most beloved beverages. The hourglasses you spy on our bookcases were also invented by monks! The push to serve locally sourced food is also thanks to monks. They were the physical embodiment
of the farm-to-table movement, centuries before it became stylish. Here at MONKS, we embrace that communal spirit and strive to promote the best this region has to offer. Consider it our calling to create thoughtful food and drink, in a space you can share with other good and like-minded people. We hope you make it your calling to come back and find some respite from the pace of modern life in
our time-honored fashion. Welcome to MONKS on the Commons where you will find soulful food and sinful cocktails in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere!

Happy Wednesday, Ithacans! If there is one thing we can agree on, we think it's the fact that all pets are just little babies no matter their age and they all deserve healthy, happy lives, right?

Please join us this evening for a wonderful Wednesday of giving back to our friends at the Ithaca Chapter of the Street Dog Coalition! Let us take care of making dinner tonight and join guest bartender Skye in helping giving back to the unsung heroes in our community who give us so much.

"The mission of the Ithaca Street Dog is to provide free medical care and related services to pets of people experiencing, or at risk of homelessness. We provide basic wellness care (physical examinations, core vaccines, parasite control and heartworm screening), provide spay/neuter vouchers, donate pet food and supplies, and treat minor illnesses (skin/ear infections, stomach upset, and arthritis)."
