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.

    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.

    We had dinner there for Dine Out Boston, service was a little slow and the cheesecake tasted store bought, but the rest of the food we got was amazing, great taste and portions.
