About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • 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.

    Outstanding restaurant in Charlestown on Main Street. It was sunny and warm and food was so good. The people were kind and nice. I loved my experience there and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you. See you soon.

    Delicious food and drinks! The only thing is the tables were maybe 2-3 inches apart so it really felt like a communal dining table with other guests. I’ll ask for a booth or high top next time!

    Beautiful decor inside the restaurant. Food and service were average but the Kung Pao brussel sprouts were amazing. Lots of children on a Sunday at 7PM. Good variety of craft beer.

    I love this place for dinner. I went for brunch and it was ok. I think the fact they don’t have coffee options besides black plain coffee but no expreso, cappuccino kind of brought down the experience. The food was ok not as great as for dinner

    Everything tasted really good and fresh, except the chicken biscuit, the biscuit was very hard like if it was reheated more than twice and the chicken was some what hard as well.

    I brought my grandmother here on the Sunday before St Patrick’s Day for the boiled dinner and she absolutely loved it! We have come to Monument many times but the themed days and weekends are always a highlight. Our one complaint was that her cabbage and carrots were undercooked and hard, but they took the time to make her some more on a separate plate free of charge. Service was friendly and accommodating and she talked about the meal for days afterwards.
