Welcome to The Legendary Monarch Public House!

The Legendary Monarch Public House is the oldest continually operating tavern in Wisconsin. We are one of 10 Wisconsin Century Restaurants and 13 Legendary Taverns.

Nestled in the Fountain City bluffs along the Mississippi River, on Wisconsin's Great River Road, The Monarch has been a destination for travelers since 1894. We are an Irish stones throw from Winona MN, Alma WI, Wabasha MN, Trempealeau WI and Arcadia, WI.

The Legendary Monarch Public House is your destination place for everything Irish — food, atmosphere and friends!
