Gregory was our waiter, he was friendly, fun and attentive. We booked a party of 12 for drinks before a dinner reservation somewhere else. It was the perfect meeting spot and really easy to make the reservation. They put us in a private room which was awesome. I was the only one in the group that had been there before and the rest of the group loved the atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

Great setting and great view of Detroit. We managed to get seats at the bar, the host on first floor being very nice and accommodating. Cocktails were great, food was just ok (we ordered the truffle fries -very salty and garlicky- and the fish dip had a funky smell). Service at the bar was not professional, a few barmaids were giggling loudly for almost half an hour in Spanish not caring about interfering with guests privacy around nor about the image of the Monarch.

Gorgeous views, sophisticated ambiance, delicious food, and beautifully crafted cocktails! Our server was very friendly, kept our time in mind because we were headed to an event but never made us feel rushed!

Wow! And wow!! What a treasure in downtown Detroit —and only a hop and skip (not even a jump) from the Detroit Opera House! Great for a pre- or post-show treat. Even on its own, it is absolutely worth the trip into the city to visit the Monarch Club for the wonderful views and great ambiance. It was out first time there and we are already plotting our return!!

Our waiter was EXTREMELY helpful & kind!! He needs a raise &/or a promotion ?Seriously, it's not lightly that I say that, in today's climate, he was a welcome addition to our experience.

Overall it was very cool place to get a drink before a show. Throw shade if you want but I did bring my kids. Yes yes I know it's a cocktail bar but I wanted to show them a cool experience and it almost wasn't because they almost turned us away at the door. Their policy says no kids before 9p and I more than honored that coming before 5p. It was a little frustrating. Also, it is insanely pretentious to have your place roped off at the entrance. That aside, mostly good things after. The place is super cool. The lookout and views of the city are awesome. Happened to be there at sunset to boot. Drinks were so so. I had a watered down old fashioned. Wife had a French 75 that she says was good. We passed around several of the small plates, best to worst of what we had; Truffle fries 5/5 Sausage pear flat 4/5 Charcuterie 3/5 Sliders 3/5 Meatballs. 2/5 These are my ratings not my kids.

The ambience was great! It had amazing view of the city and such charm. Nice and cozy feeling, loved the decor. I'm sure it's even better in the summer on the outside patio! Food and drinks were great too! Highly recommend checking out this little gem!

We attended The Monarch Club for a 50Th birthday celebration on 1/13/24. I've been to this same establishment before and the service, ambiance and food was amazing, so it was only right I recommend this same place to a group of friends who had never been. Immediately after being seated ( a group of 8) The waitress walks over and the first thing out of her mouth was “ Just so you all know, the gratuity will be placed on your bill and it's One bill ONLY, no split checks” at that time, I felt as though we were targeted because she felt like we couldn't afford this place. Sadly we all left after have been seated for less than 10 minutes and Will Never return

Such a good vibe here! Great for girls night or any type of meeting with friends. Would be a very nice date spot too. Drinks were amazing and the food options were really good too!

This should strictly be a cocktail bar. The portions are way too small and quality of food was not worth the price. I ordered the flatbread pizza with high hopes and it came out rock hard and burnt. I sent it back. The vibe is nice and the igloos are a good touch but don't come here thinking you're going to eat good or get full.

The view is awesome. But otherwise, our experience was pretty blasé. The staff was friendly-ish, but seemed like young folks who don't really want to be working. The cocktails were okay, but quite expensive and not very unique for the price. The view from the roof is beautiful, but not worth the price of "so-so" food, drinks, and service. Glad we tried it, but we won't be going back.

We reserved a igloo for our anniversary. No where on the website says depending on weather. 1st we get there a few minutes b4 5 and the waitress was rude and said they don't open till 5pm. So we went back down stairs till 5pm. At 5pm we come up and the waitress was rude to the people in front of us. they sit us down at a table inside. We informed them we reserved an igloo she tells us no we didn't. My husband had to pull out his phone to show them. Then we get told we can't use the igloo due to the rain. They were extremely rude about it. So we just left. It was very beautiful there but the staff is rude.

We've been here multiple times. The view is totally worth it in the summer. But the service is always very slow and the drinks are overpriced for what you get. I don't recommend eating inside. Its surprisingly noisy inside in the winter when busy.
