Monument Restaurant & Tavern
Price: Moderate•American•4.8(171)Welcome to Monument
Monument Restaurant & Tavern, a Charlestown staple, is a lively home base for guests to enjoy creative comfort food, rotating craft beer, a thoughtful wine list, and inventive, refreshing cocktails. As Charlestown’s neighborhood spot, Monument boasts a warm, rustic dining room and bar, a seasonal sidewalk patio, and takeout and delivery options seven days a week.
The rustic yet chic interior complements their menu of the same caliber. Wood-fired pizza, lemon-rosemary chicken wings, kung pao Brussels sprouts, and gnocchi bolognese are just a few of the favorite options. Not to mention, our weekend brunch is a hit with Bostonians near and far, with featuring lemon and poppyseed buttermilk pancakes and our signature "Cinnamon Toast Brunch" cocktail.
Monument serves brunch, lunch, dinner and is open late and has a lengthy draught beer, cocktail and wine menu.Dovetail - Charlestown

Discover Charlestown
Charlestown has a history as a naval hub and sits on the Boston Harbor and the Mystic River. With its roots as a home to Irish immigrants, Charlestown is a great place to find authentic Irish food, like Irish stew or corned beef and cabbage, at one of the local Irish pubs. True to its New England roots and seaside location, Charlestown is also home to a number of restaurants serving fresh seafood. You can head to a raw bar for clams or oysters, enjoy a bowl of New England clam chowder or crack open a freshly caught lobster. You can also cozy up to a cup of coffee and a pastry at a laid-back café or bakery. And along with the prominent Irish influence in Charlestown, you can also find other international cuisines, including French, Italian and Indian.
