Praying Monk

This has become one of my favorite spots to grab a cold brew on a hot day and there are countless number of hot days here in the great Sunshine state.  I recommend ordering my favorite beer and best yet, it's on Tap.  Blanche De Bruxelles is one of the most refreshing beers found and often difficult to find, let alone on tap. I haven't tried their food so I can't make any recommendations. Service was good and not overly pretentious like most spots in Old Town Scottsdale, nice space inside and great covered patio outside.

We went to the Praying Monk following a wine tasting at Su Vino, we were looking for a good lunch while also getting out of the triple digit heat. I can highly recommend this place for both the beer list and the food. I had the Black Diamond Rampage Imperial IPA (on draft) - if you are into IPA beers then try this. Lunch consisted of a fried egg sandwich (cooked over medium) with tender-belly ham, Swiss cheese, tomato and garlic aioli on an english muffin. A great sandwich especially when pared with a plate of bacon.

It seems as if their vegetarian options may seem healthy.... I feel like they cook like Paula Dean-- you know how she throws in a stick of butter with everything!?

In a few words here it is: Modern, western, pub grub.
