About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Lively
Great for brunch

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.

Food and service was excellent, however the venue was very crowded and noisy. The tables for two were very close together but still had difficulty hearing my table mate and server.

The service was excellent even on a busy day. We had three pizzas: Margherita, breakfast and truffle. All were delicious! The cocktails and beers were great too.

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.
