Nestled in the bluffs on the Mississippi River, The Monarch Public House in Fountain City, Wisconsin, has been a destination for travelers since 1894. The historic tavern and restaurant still features the original hand carved oak back bar, ornate pressed tin ceilings and 100 year old tables and chairs. The display of authentic memorabilia and the details of meticulous restoration enhance its turn-of-the-century charm.
The Monarchs elegant Old World look and casual family atmosphere combine to make it a memorable experience for all our guests. Preservation Restaurants diverse menu makes it an easy choice for adults and children alike. Whether enjoying a quiet dinner in one of our private lofts, gathering with friends in the main hall, or basking in the view from our elevated decks overlooking the river, we invite you to step through the door of history and enjoy a taste of the past.
