This Belgian pub has two claims to fame: The beer -- 20 artisan-made brews on tap, plus dozens more by the bottle -- and the mussels -- generous bowls of dark-shelled mollusks dressed in five sauces, from spicy Thai to classic white wine and garlic. Popular with beer aficionados and the Wharton students who imitate them, this narrow, no-nonsense spot also serves satisfying burgers, fries with bourbon mayonnaise, and hearty salads. The kitchen is open until 1am. A word to the sports addicted: Monk's has no TVs.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
