About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for brunch
Kid-friendly

Welcome to Monument
Monument Restaurant & Tavern, a Charlestown staple, is a lively home base for guests to enjoy creative comfort food, rotating craft beer, a thoughtful wine list, and inventive, refreshing cocktails. As Charlestown’s neighborhood spot, Monument boasts a warm, rustic dining room and bar, a seasonal sidewalk patio, and takeout and delivery options seven days a week.

The rustic yet chic interior complements their menu of the same caliber. Wood-fired pizza, lemon-rosemary chicken wings, kung pao Brussels sprouts, and gnocchi bolognese are just a few of the favorite options. Not to mention, our weekend brunch is a hit with Bostonians near and far, with featuring lemon and poppyseed buttermilk pancakes and our signature "Cinnamon Toast Brunch" cocktail.

Monument serves brunch, lunch, dinner and is open late and has a lengthy draught beer, cocktail and wine menu.

We were a party of four. Two of us didn’t like our food at all. I would not recommend the carnitas hash - very bland. And another in our party would not recommend the burrito. Service was good.

Our waitress, Janae, was amazing. She was attentive and did her best to make things right, considering our food was served cold. There were five of us, and only one of our orders was served at the correct temperature. It was our first time visiting the restaurant. The food looked great, and am willing to give them another try.

This used to be a great place to have dinner, but last night something was not right. The pork chop was overdone and dry. They took the wrong order. I hope that this was a temporary glitch.

Monument is exactly what you want in a neighborhood spot. Come dressed up or in your casual clothes. Enjoy a draft beer or a craft cocktail. Sit at the bar or a table. Whether you get a sandwich or a steak, it’s always amazing. Don’t sleep on their brunch either. Monument truly is a gem of a spot.
