Bus Crashes Into Monk’s Cafe

August 10, 2010 By Jay Brooks

NBC News Philadelphia is reporting that a SEPTA bus and police car slammed into Monk’s Belgian Cafe. They’re saying “the bus came through the front door of the popular Monk’s Cafe right before last call. Remarkably, no one was hurt.” (Thanks to Todd Alstrom for the story tip.)

    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” which stands for South Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority. It was on 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.

      Thanks for the update, Tom. I’m certainly glad no one was hurt, at least.
