Owners Chris, Tim and Anne opened "The Blue Monk on Belmont" October 23, 2002 (located between the Belmont Inn and Zupans in the old "It's a Beautiful Pizza" location). Tuesday thru Saturday,in our romantic downstairs jazz club, we feature some of the best live jazz in Portland. Don't forget to check out our unofficial Portland Jazz Museum on the walls downstairs. Photos, posters and memorabilia of Portland's jazz past.

Although The Blue Monk could be just a jazz club, it is much more. If you are looking for a late night dinner, this is the place. Dinner is served Tuesday through Sunday from 5 pm to 1 am. The Blue Monk serves large portions of east coast Italian food including Spaghetti and Meatballs (the best in town!), Chicken Parmesan, Clams & Angel Hair and Vegan Lasagna by our Chef, Ryan Gengler plus features one of the best beer menus in the city. On tap you will find beers like Chimay White, John Courage, Old Engine Oil and Franziskaner (the original Hefe-weizen recipe). With over 35 bottled beers you'll find unique ones like Triple Karmelite, Hitachino Nest Red Ale and Marsdon's Pedigree. An impressive wine list and a full bar with specialty cocktails round out your drink choices. While enjoying drinks or dinner be sure to check out the art on the walls upstairs featuring local artists.

Great jazz, unique beers and a east coast menu make this a fun place to hang-but the best part is the customers it attracts.
