Burp Castle is a beer bar located in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City . It is ostensibly " monastery-themed " . Bartenders occasionally wear monastic robes , play Gregorian chants , and patrons are shushed if they speak above a whisper . The bar is located near the site the 2015 East Village gas explosion , and it was forced to close for several weeks before occupancy was proved to once again be safe . SoundPrint , an app that measures noise produced in restaurants and bars , lists Burp Castle as a particularly quiet location
