About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Great for creative cocktails
Good for special occasions

The Monarch Club is a place like no other. Passing through the Metropolitan Building’s spectacular Great Hall hints at the elegant charm that awaits. The Monarch Club exudes both old-school intrigue and modern comfort, draped in tones of deep blue, red and gold that create a luxurious backdrop for incomparable city views. Located near attractions like Campus Martius, Corktown and Little Caesars Arena, enjoy a cocktail at one of the most expansive rooftop bars in downtown Detroit. Retreat to an intimate banquette or to the Tower Keep for a more private experience, or relax outdoors around a cozy firepit. Hearkening back to Detroit’s first golden age, the Monarch Club provides a front-row seat to its next.

Terrible Experience with this restaurant. We had reservations for 8:30pm. They asked us to sit while our the guests before we’re finishing their dessert. So we sat down and expected to be called within 10 minutes or so. 30 minutes later we were still sitting there and we noticed a group of 2 people just walk in and were seated right away. We asked them if those people were mistakenly given our seat. The lady said “yes, we are working on your table” without even a hit of an apology. At that point we were upset and just left, so I couldn’t tell you how the food was. I suggest not attempting to book with this restaurant as this could happen to you as well.

Staff was very understanding when we got caught in traffic coming into Detroit from the West side. We were a half hour late for our table and they understandingly found a way to fit us in. Staff obviously enjoys each other and their customers. Very welcoming place. Great service! Good food and a fun crowd. It was extremely noisy, but hey - Tigers won their home opener and we were super glad everyone was happy! Beautiful view, too, overlooking Comerica Park. We’ll be back!

Fantastic cocktails and great service from Gregory. Great decor, and was very quiet until about 7pm; only about six people other than employees were there.

We stopped there for drinks and small plates before seeing a performance at Little Caesars Arena. It was a fantastic venue and we cannot wait to go back when the weather is better and sit on the outside patio and take in the views of the Detroit skyline. Our waitress was amazing and very helpful. We will definitely be back. Reservations are necessary because the site is small and if you want to ensure a seating, you need reservations

Took my parents out to celebrate their 50 year anniversary. The perfect combination of sophistication, style, paired with attentive service and perfectly mixed cocktails. Views of the city are unmatched. The decor inside the Monarch helps set a mood. I love the monarch as a frequent visitor but it’s also a star when it comes to showing out on a special occasion. It was an evening my family will not soon forget.
