Howdy friend!

The monarch is a special place for Music, Art & Community

What makes The Monarch so special? Lots of different things… our mission, the people, the intent behind all we do, the sound, the vibe, the place itself and the love we put into carefully curating a special place for music to be shared. It really is unlike any other. 

Community over commerce. It’s family style around here and folks can BYO. For real! Instead of buying stuff from a bar… we’d rather them buy your merch, tickets etc. and support artists/music in our city. That’s our priority. 

It feels like home. We’re a creative hub for musicians living in Louisville KY, and an important new type of listening room/venue/rehearsal/creative safe space for Artists coming to and through our city. 

The best listening room this side of the Mississippi. (Maybe the other side too) We know how important music is. It makes us better as people. We provide folks with a special place for musical experiences that’ll fill their cup and more. Music brings us together, and together we make a difference.

The Monarch is the ultimate listening room experience for both the performing artists and the listening audience. Founded on the basis of giving artists a place to develop and share their music both with fellow musicians between shows, and be featured in shows with a captive audience. It's a "Bring your own eats & drinks" and enjoy meeting some of the most beautiful souls Louisville has. Peace.

Wow. I had made my first visit to view a few local artists and I was very captivated with the whole environment. Plenty of comfortable seating to socialize while enjoying time here with my wife. Safe and accessible for any type of artist or creative. Would love to come back and see live music or lay down vinyls on the turntable in the common room. I'm very happy a place like this exists in Louisville.
