The Blind Monk

The Blind Monk started in 2010 as a neighborhood wine bar and has grown into one of downtown’s go-to spots for dinner and a good glass. Now settled in the AKA West Palm hotel on South Olive Avenue, it pairs a natural wine list and cocktails with a menu of bar snacks, vegetable and seafood starters, pastas, and entrees like the Tavern Burger and steak frites. Happy hour runs from 5 to 6 PM, and the kitchen is open Monday through Saturday evenings. Parking is free in the AKA hotel garage. Reservations are a good idea on weekends.
