Absolutely fantastic food, drinks and service in a beautifully restored historic building. Wonderful atmosphere. Small menu but high quality! Our server suggested amazing drinks, my friend really enjoyed the Break Maiden. We all ordered the pepper crusted beef tenderloin. The entree presentation made it feel as if it had walked out of an episode of Downton Abbey! Do not pass up on their desserts either! The flourless chocolate torte was delicious and also beautiful presentation. My boyfriend said the key lime pie tasted home baked. We were given a tasting of their Caffe Amaro to pair with our dessert. It was sharp, delicious with a hint of licorice and caramelized coffee, and a wonderful compliment to the desserts. We felt spoiled! Thank you for a wonderful experience, we can't wait to come back!

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the bar and waiting staff at our daughter’s wedding reception. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional!

The bartenders were not only professional but also friendly and attentive. They made sure our guests were well taken care of, and their recommendations for cocktails were spot on. Everyone loved the drinks, and the bar was always well-stocked and organized.

The waiting staff also did an outstanding job. They were prompt, courteous, and made sure that every guest felt special. The attention to detail and their willingness to accommodate our requests truly made our reception run smoothly.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us celebrate our special day. Thank you for your hard work and dedication—you helped create a wonderful atmosphere that our guests will remember for years to come!

My husband and I love going here for date night and we enjoy inviting friends. The cocktails are always balanced and delicious—worth every penny! The charcuterie board is our go-to.

Although I've only been to Monogram Lounge twice, I can see myself falling in love again and again! Their old-fashioned are right on the nose! Everything I've had, including their cheese board and heim pretzel, was devoured and kept me satisfied. The Heim pretzel is humongous; it feeds four or more! Their service is consistently impressive. It's the ideal mixture of modern vernacular and Southern hospitality. I couldn't ask for a better service experience if I tried! Like the fine whiskey they service, Monogram Lounge will only get better with age. Even though I know you'll fall in love with this place, I hope you don't so I can keep this place to myself!

Take my one-star you trashy little snot of a bartender. Called me a cheap date for getting a drink and app off happy hour when originally I wasn’t going to go that route until the server (not her) pointed it out. I’ll never return to this distillery again!

We had dinner here before a concert at Knuckleheads. This worked out perfectly since they’re next-door to each other!My husband ordered the KC Burnt ends and roasted brussels sprouts. I had the orzo salad with a side of salmon. More than enough food for the two of us and it was all excellent! Of course we both had an old-fashioned drink and it was excellent as well!Even though we were there fairly early (5 pm) and the place was not crowded service seemed a bit slow this is why I put 4 stars.I highly recommend this beautiful establishment with all its different indoor outdoor restaurant options.

We had such a great time here last night. The food and drinks are amazing! The atmosphere was really nice and the space is very open so your not too close to the next tables. We will definitely be back!

Lovely place to grab happy hour cocktails and food! We went on a Friday night with a group of 5 and weren’t able to get a table right away, but were able to get seats by the bar which was perfect for us. Loved the seasonal gin and tonic. All the food was amazing! The pork belly was a little too fatty, but still tasted good. Their pretzel was perfect. The brussel sprouts were so great, just wish there was a little bit more sauce on them! Parking was a bit tough on Friday night, but did find street parking just a few blocks away. The slide was super fun!
