What folks are saying

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.

A sacred community space for music lovers. Every city needs a place like this. ✌️❤️

Awesome place! Owner is super cool and the artwork is out of this world! Live shows and truly inspiring place for artists to create and share!

Amazing artists performing in a uniquely intimate setting connecting creative minds.

The whole place is filled with your friends, even if you haven’t met them yet

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.
