The Monarch Club, Rooftop terrace bar in downtown Detroit, United States.
The Monarch Club sits on the 13th floor of the restored neo-gothic Metropolitan Building with three outdoor terrace sections featuring bright, minimalist marble design. The views spread across Detroit's skyline and surrounding city in every direction.
The Metropolitan Building was designed in 1925 by architects Weston and Ellington in a neo-gothic style. The bar draws inspiration from mid-1900s rooftop venues like the Savoyard, Recess, and Top of the Flame that shaped Detroit's peak era.
The venue reflects Detroit's tradition of rooftop gathering spots and blends classic style with contemporary comfort through deep blue, red, and gold furnishings that tell the story of the city's architectural past.
The venue offers heated glass domes on the terrace during cold weather, letting guests sit comfortably and drink outdoors. Visitors should know that hours change by day of the week and reaching the 13th floor requires elevator or stair access.
In winter, the terrace transforms with heated glass igloos where visitors can enjoy drinks and food while watching the city. These structures allow guests to stay warm outdoors despite the cold weather.
