The Monarch Portsmouth in Portsmouth

Some friends and I went for the Christmas bottomless brunch, Staff 10 out of 10 they were great! Attentive, postive attitudes and smiley.. the festive brunch. It was okay. Nachos were good, the potatoes were nice, but the turkey bites a little dry, and - the wrap- it’s a little bit bland and dry - it could do with a little seasoning and a gravy dip would be the perfect finisher! The cocktails - lovely all of them!!

Briony was amazing and had the best customer service. Drinks and food were lovely. Thank you

Brilliant bottomless brunch, Briony was WONDERFUL 💜

Me and my partner popped in for a drink this evening, the service from Sophie was amazing! Very attentice and the drinks were incredible! Will definitely be back.

Very busy bar, good music, friendly crowd. Entry charge on a Saturday night. Reasonable priced drinks.

We had a bottomless brunch and it was amazing. The food was delicious and we had outstanding service by our waitress Bryony. Would definitely recommend x

Went for my birthday. Security are bias, my brother is disabled where he limps on one leg. Security would not let him in and deemed him as ‘too drunk’ due to his disability. They were letting their mates in at this time who were more drunk. Ableist staff and management. Very dissapointed and went to the bar across the street instead.

Great night out for a group of us. All team were friendly specially the security team. Very polite and respectful.

Security personnel are shifts especially on 30th August Night 2024 sent every that was spending out over no issues

Jack and Brandon were incredible. Great service, amazing Drinks and tasty food. They made our experience great. Thankyou Boys xxxx

Brilliant and fast service!! Waiters - very attentive, bartenders - extremely creative! ❤️

Had a bottomless brunch with a hen do, great food and service , great value for money

A black guy goes and complaints to the security for whatever reason of you and they kick you out... Doesn't matter you did anything or not!

Sonnie gave us a super friendly service with a smile and kept up amazingly with the cocktails at our bottomless brunch. Highly recommend

sonnie was amazing with keeping up with the cocktails & food was beautiful, super friendly service

Bad experience, door staff who have a chip , too crowded and 30 minutes wait for drinks at bar absolute joke of a place

The Monarch came to the rescue! We had originally booked to go to an event ‘Karen’s Diner’ at Drift. Due to unforeseen circumstances it didn’t happen !!! Sonnie from The Monarch saw how disappointed we were and helped us to contact Drift and confirmed that they were not opening. Sonnie took us under his wing and gave us somewhere to drown our sorrows. We had been before to a Bottomless Brunch and the service was exemplorary and this has not changed.

The food was good enough i just wish it was more food however the customer service was great we had server named Jack and he was amazing, brought our food on time had a great attitude and made the whole experience work it would go back just for him 10/10 Jack😁😁😁.

Thank you for hosting our works drinks, we all really enjoyed it. Ideal!

Great atmosphere. The server was really nice and food was great. Definitely will come back again.

Excellent service. Excellent cocktails and excellent food. Bryony was excellent.

Great brunch- cocktails were gorgeous and super fast. Great selection of cocktails and other drinks. Loved it!

Fabulous customer service Amazing cocktails and a cool vibe Highly recommend

Emma and Jack are amazing! Food is great and bottomless brunch is fab! However when it comes to the assistant manager he is very cold and unfriendly! When buying drinks for workers to recognise their hospitality he is very unfriendly and almost disrespectful to what the staff do!

Best brunch ever!! Great food and drinks, and friendly staff!! Sharing board was lovely and pornstars are incredible!!

Throughly enjoyed the brunch. 100% recommended

Bank hols brunch- Sharer boards were great and accommodated for individual vegetarian food. Good service and Prosecco to start

Came here for my birthday brunch. Lovely cocktails food and great service. Sonnie was very accommodating to our requests. Highly recommend.

Went for a bottomless brunch. Was a Saturday evening and not that busy, but still had to wait 10 minutes to be greeted and shown our table. Another 5 minutes before the waiter came and introduced himself, then another 5 before drinks could be ordered, but we were allowed to order 2 each. Drinks were nice and tasty but so full of ice that after a few mouthfuls were empty( amoretto sours in particular), drinks were empty long before the waiteress returned( who was better than the waiter), but this time only allowed to order 1. We had a non drinker in party, and the drink supplied she was unable to drink as tasted terrible( even the waitresses said it was on tap and not nice. This still cost us £29.95. About an hour after being sat, the food was brought out, which was only ok, very dry as if it had been sat under a hot lamp. The final round of drinks was ordered, and then the bill time, so £187.50 total for 5( Inc 1 non drinker), which we were overcharged for. They did refund me cash to make up for the mistake. Now, a couple of health & safety issues i noticed. The fire alarm had been activated but not reset. It was still in the same state on leaving. Also, the men's toilet door does not have a handle on the inside to get out. Luckily, it didn't close fully. Fancy being stuck in a basement loo then visit here. There is no real atmosphere as well. Only visited as I had never been before but wished I had gone back to Bonitas

Absolutely spendid food and cocktails Catered to our every need consistently Will rebook as soon as possible as we enjoyed it

Absolutely fantastic Mother’s Day brunch!

Sonny was so good! Lots of knowledge with different cocktails

Excellent service by Sonnie and fabulous cocktails. Food very good, great evening thank you!

First time attending nice vibe gets packed around 11.30pm to midnight. The machine to order cokes are flat not good to mix with alcohol. Security was friendly very strict with ID at the door. DJ was ok just needs updated music

Fab time and waitress was fantastic bryony was awesome with the cocktails

Bryony was the most DELIGHTFUL host. Highly recommend!🩷🩷🩷

Good food, good drinks, quick service and well organised bottomless brunch. We all left more drunk than we started 🥂

Wonderful time and extremely attentive host Bryony at bottomless brunch. Everyone had a lovely time 💗

Amazing. I have coeliac disease and they catered for me amazingly. Bryony explained to me that the kitchen deal well with coeliac disease and allergies and reassured me. Would definitely come again

Good vibe and energy which is something different from all another venues in town. Really enjoyed our Friday and saturd nights out.

Sonnie was the best kept the atmosphere, going all night amazing service would defo recommend

Sonnie was the best Batman looked after us very well will defiantly return rhank you

Sonnie the best Barman and amazing service thank you for a lovely afternoon will be back

Some staff members were unfriendly and unwelcoming - rude at times also. Politely asked for an issue with our drinks order to rectified, we were treated as though it was our fault and recieved death stares from some staff members. They also added extra drinks onto our bill which luckily we noticed. When challenged they acted annoyed, and like we were causing them more hassle. Will be avoiding in future.

We had a lovely experience celebrating my friends birthday. The bar tender was very attentive to what we wanted and was brisk service. The music was also good.

Great experience. Staff are so friendly, lovely and attentive. Highly recommend.

Amazing brunch !! Amazing cocktail choice !! Wonderful friendly service 👌 10/10

Please do NOT GO to this place it’s full of men clearly targeting vulnerable woman . It was clear as day tonight , this will be reported to Portsmouth police and county council

Beautiful people and awesome service! Goo have a nice time enjoing great food! Feed ur good vibe!

Absolutely amazing cocktail bar!!

We popped in for a little drink 🍸 or two which was exceptionally expensive.... next thing we were moved up stairs and the whole place turned into a night club much to our surprise 😮 couldn't really access the toilets ....sink had sick remains ....and there were only two toilets .....had to push our way through loads of people to exit the place ....

Great bottomless brunch. Brandon was our server who was very attentive. He was a managing a few tables due to the restaurant being short staffed but we didn’t have to wait long for our drinks to be replenished.

It's not my cup of tea very expensive in there

Great service, food was delish all 4 of us enjoyed the festive menu . We will definitely book again

The best club in our town Portsmouth

The whole experience at The Monarch was amazing!

As at yesterday 18th November, 2023...They have a very lousy skinny door security guy (not the hunk guy or the one checking ID security guys oh) with zero manners of appoach, impatient, provoking, full of himself, lucky to be in the Uk...if not. He ruined my guy's bd outing by excusing us from the line after I even paid for 3 people and a lady. The guy had the odacity to recall the girl I paid for out from the lounge for her to pay for her self so he can refund my money back. He is going to run the owner down financially. I just invited my guys for the first time and the stupid bouncer gave a bad impression of his services, even used insulting language on a customer, raised his voice, embarrassed himself, made Monarch loose a couple of customers especially me cos I had intentions on spending on my bd guy! Immediately we walked out, a pretty laddy offered us "free" ticket to Drift just opposite and we had the fun of our lives...

We recently visited for bottomless brunch and we had a great time! The staff were all really attentive and friendly, Jack & Brandon in particular - they made sure we had lots of fun, thank you both!

Super cool, I recommend it for any outing or fun, it's super cool! 👏👏👏

Best night out in Portsmouth by miles. Good atmosphere,good music and good people 5*

Always having a great experience, full of fun, perfect customer service, always meeting people with likes-mind

Best cocktail bar in Palmerston Road. The bar stuff are very polite.

went for a friends bottomless brunch meal, was the worst thing, only good thing was that were tasting nice, we went on a saturday which could of been busy but there were not busy. we got 3 rounds of drinks for £35.80!??? which was awful, food came out 15 mins before the end of our brunch and sizes were awful and food was cold. asked the server because we had barely any drinks to have another round after we finished. she approved this and made us pay for the round of drinks. which was a extra money on the bill. was not a good experience and will not come again

Great brunch and Sonny who served us was so lovely and attentive, fabulous food and drinks, we will be back 😘

Best music and by far best atmosphere and cocktails in town! Highly recommend it!

Food was lovely.. but the service was shocking!!!! Will never book again!

Came in for a few cocktails and food and was served by JJ. Very friendly and charming. Atmosphere and food + drinks were good too. Definitely coming back again 😁

Had an amazing night out,great atmosphere and amazing friendly bar staff!…good place to go great experience!

The best u can get ,the food it brilliant and delicious! 10***

We came here for a Bottomless Brunch for my friend’s birthday on July 23rd. We booked this over a week in advance. Our waiter, Abbie, was absolutely incredible; I genuinely couldn’t fault her. Unfortunately, she had been left alone to cope on her own, with absolutely 0 support from her manager, Matt (who was sat within arms reach of the bar for our entire booking). This meant Abbie was waiting on our table, making our cocktail jugs, running our food and drinks and clearing our table, all the while serving any walk-in customers. This was visibly too much work for one person, especially considering we later found out she’s only worked there around a month. Overall, the experience was incredibly underwhelming, especially for the £38.50 per person price tag. This could’ve easily been avoided if the manager had shown his staff any support whatsoever.

We had a bottomless brunch for 17 of us for a works do. We had our own area set up the top. Our waitress was amazing, she constantly kept our drinks topped up (we had loads) and she was very attentive. Food was delicious and they catered well for the vegetarian and vegan we had in our party. I definitely recommend the Mango Daiquiri cocktail, that was the best! I would definitely go back and felt it was great value for money!

Delicious cocktails and good atmosphere. The DJ played lots of great tunes all night and had such a good vibe.

Very good food and amazing staff! At night it gets busy in there, nice atmosphere and you can get a drink from the bar very fast compared to other places on Palmerston road. My favourite place in Southsea!

I’m writing to share a experience that me and my friends had at Monarch club on the 17/6/2023 night after a challenge situation of inappropriate touch and disrespect caused by other client. Shout out for the 2members of security at the door that handle the situation very professional, efficient and respectfully. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great night out that is backed up by excellent security and an atmosphere that allows everyone to feel safe and secure.

Matt was the best, he is super quick at making cocktails #thegoat

nice place very good cocotails a bit expensive but high quality I recommend!

This place is the only good thing about Portsmouth

Came by this place walking along Southsea , stop in for some tapas & cocktails great little independent business , friendly staff and great vibes

Can't be more disappointed in the standard of the lad with the beard. Scratching his face, rubbing his mouth then putting his hands on the drinks he brought to are table. So disgusting. Put me right off coming back. Minging.

Slow service at bar Too many people crammed in Young persons only
