Brasserie de Monaco

Monaco's only brewery, right on Port Hercule — organic lagers brewed on-site, pub food, big screens and DJs until 2am. A friend would send you for happy hour (roughly 5-8pm, beers around €3-4 instead of €6 a pint), not for a quiet dinner: evenings get loud and it leans afterwork-party more than craft-beer temple.

Key facts

Frequently asked questions

How do I get there from the train station?

Walk down toward the port — it's about 10 minutes on foot from Monaco-Monte-Carlo station, on Route de la Piscine along Port Hercule. You really don't need a car; parking near the port is painful.

Is it worth going during the Monaco Grand Prix?

It's right on the circuit's port section, so it's a legendary GP party spot — but expect crowds, minimum spends and premium pricing that week. Book anything well ahead.

Is it good for watching sports?

Yes — this is one of the go-to spots in Monaco for football, F1 and rugby on big screens. Expect it packed for big matches, so come early for a table.

What time does Brasserie de Monaco close?

It's open daily from noon until 2am, one of the later closes in the port area. DJs typically play from early evening onward.

Can I eat a proper meal there or is it just drinks?

There's a full menu — burgers, pizzas, salads and brasserie plates. It's decent pub food, but people come primarily for the beer and atmosphere, not a gastronomic experience.

How expensive is Brasserie de Monaco?

Reasonable by Monaco standards. A pint runs about €6 normally, dropping to around €3-4 during happy hour (roughly 5-8pm), and pub food mains are mid-range. Cocktails and wine climb fast, though.

Is Brasserie de Monaco family-friendly?

At lunch and early afternoon, absolutely — the terrace facing the port is relaxed. After about 6pm the DJ sets start and it shifts to an afterwork/party crowd, so take the kids earlier.

Is Brasserie de Monaco actually a real brewery?

Yes — it's the Principality's only microbrewery, with tanks on display and lagers and ales brewed on-site from organic malts. It's a legit brewpub, not just branding.
