The editorial take
The Monarch's beverage identity rests on a bourbon menu exceeding 225 bottles, with pours listed by proof and price and a deep bench of Monarch private barrel picks. Boot Hill, Keeper's Heart, and Angel's Envy selections sit alongside allocated and elusive listings such as Pappy 10yr and Sazerac 18yr vintages. Cocktails and wine operate mainly through daily happy hour specials, including $5 mimosas on Sundays.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Monarch private barrel pick: Boot Hill Single Barrel at $10, Keeper's Heart 10yr at $20, or Angel's Envy Private Selection from the allocated and elusive list. Blanton's is listed at $17. For a lighter route, the $5 Sunday mimosa and daily happy hour cocktail specials are the supported options.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Whiskey drinkers who want a long, organized list with proof and price attached to each pour, including private barrel picks and allocated bottles. Also suited to anyone looking for a daily happy hour cocktail or a Sunday mimosa.
- When should I go?
- Daily happy hour covers cocktail specials every day of the week, with dine-in pricing only. Sunday extends that to an all-day happy hour with $5 mimosas.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Bourbon pours run from $5 for Jim Beam, Evan Williams BIB, and George Dickel #8 up to $50 for Horse Soldier 13yr Commander. Named pours include Boot Hill at $10, Blanton's at $17, and Keeper's Heart 10yr at $20. Happy hour specials lower the cost for cocktails, wine by the glass, and mimosas.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- More than 225 bottles of whiskey, including Kentucky bourbon, American single malt, rye, Tennessee whiskey, international whiskies, and allocated or elusive releases. The list organizes pours by category with proof and price, and the Monarch private barrel picks give the program a house-specific layer beyond the standard allocated names.
