The DrunkMonk

The Drunk Monk is an independent micro bar and bottle shop tucked into Unit 8 of Overton Arcade, just off Wrexham's High Street. Registered as The Drunk Monk Limited in 2021, it stocks well over a hundred canned and bottled beers, drawn almost entirely from independent breweries across Wales, England, Scotland and Ireland, sold both to drink in and to take away. The format is deliberately small and conversation-led, closer to a continental bottle shop than a conventional pub, with a rotating fridge rather than a fixed range. Knowledgeable staff will steer customers between styles, and the shop leans toward smaller producers over national brands. It is not tied to any brewery, which keeps the selection genuinely open. For a town better known for its lager heritage, it offers a compact window onto the wider British and Irish craft scene.
