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.

    Our food was overcooked and lacked depth of flavor. The service and ambience were great but the food was underwhelming.

    Monument always delivers! Monument is consistently popular, so I particularly enjoy going for weekday lunch, when it is slightly less crowded and noisy. But don't avoid it for dinner or brunch. The food is reliably good, portions generous, drinks tasty (even the iced tea tastes like actual tea), and service cheerful. My friend and I both enjoyed our lunch today: a short rib quesadilla for me (today's special) and a new pressed sandwich involving sweet potato, black beans, and other tasty ingredients. Both were delicious, and we both took half home (please see "portions generous" above!) Without a doubt, Monument is a neighborhood gem!

    Great food and location but service was very slow. This is not a good choice if you need to get back to work.

    Table was not ready on time, then the server told our party they needed to turn the table after barely an hour. Brought dessert before my daughter had even finished her burger.
