The Monarch is a whole vibe. While visiting Jerry World I wanted a place to sit down for a cigar/whiskey. I lucked out and found this place; came there on a Monday night and it wasn't busy at all. Their smoking area was small, but laid out extremely well with leather chairs and a large TV screen. The humidor was also rather small, and several of the cigars were pricier than I've seen. Where this place takes the cake is the ambiance, service and whiskey selection. My hostess, Mary, was extremely attentive and provided good recommendations on the food and beverages. And regarding the whiskey - their selection was massive. Mary recommended a Texas bourban (Unbendt BiB) that was delicious. It was so good that I brought a bottle back to Chicago. Highly recommend this place for a cigar smoker looking for a good meal + cigar in a quiet/intimate environment.

Monarch Stag is a fantastic spot with some of the best cocktails and a huge bar selection. The bartenders are super friendly and know how to craft excellent drinks. I love that they feature live music on some weekends, which adds to the atmosphere. The cigar room is a unique touch, offering a different vibe in a separate section. Always enjoy coming back here for the great drinks and overall experience!

Upscale whiskey lounge with a lot of unique cocktails to choose from. We just stopped in for a cocktail and appetizers. There are plenty of options for those who don't like whiskey, as well. Food and drinks are pricey, but that should be expected from an establishment like this. I recommend visiting if you want to try something you can't get just anywhere, or for a special occasion. The vibe was great, and the live music was a nice touch as well.

This place is great for scotch drinkers. Their menu is simple and perfect. The atmosphere is comfortable and quiet, with live chill music. Staff is very knowledgeable regarding their whiskey selection. We did not visit the cigar lounge or humidor which I have no doubt that it is of as much care to quality as their whiskey selection.

I wish I would have gotten the name of the server bc she was amazing. I had a filet it was so good. It was cooked perfectly and tender. My husband had a ribeye. He really like the flavor but said the steak was chewy. Atmosphere was a mixed bag and the most disappointing but also the vibes were on point. For the price and the type of food you really don't expect to be sitting at small cocktail tables. However they had some great entertainment. All in all, I'd go back. I'd probably just go for some drinks though.
