About

Turner Hall of Monroe is a historical landmark and Swiss heritage center in Monroe, established in 1868. Designed in the Swiss Emmenthal chalet style by architect Max Hanisch, our building is listed on both the National and State Registers of Historic Places. We preserve south-central Wisconsin's Swiss roots through cultural programs, the Ratskeller Restaurant serving traditional Swiss dishes, an eight-lane bowling alley, and event spaces featuring local historical memorabilia.

Lots of Swiss history here and several Swiss dishes as well. Since it was cold out I had a Baileys and coffee with cream on top, I felt like a kid again. Great service from the wait staff and lots of delicious food choices.

We have used this space for our annual event. A wonderful place for sure! Beautiful rooms, great space, and an inviting atmosphere! The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. The events are always well-attended and many compliments are given regarding hosting our parties at this venue! We love it & will continue to return!

We celebrated our Mom's 90th birthday party there. I could not ask for a better experience! The food, the atmosphere...all of it was great. Shirley was fantastic to work with, working out the details, so I could enjoy the party. Mom had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Turner Hall...they can accommodate any size gathering. And it is such a beautiful, unique, and historic building.

Classic community center in Monroe offering for food and entertainment. Bowling lanes and other activities are available. I tried the restaurant for the Thanksgiving feast. A nice two-sided buffet offered lots of traditional favorites potatoes, rice, stuffing, meats. Not too many vegetarian options, I enjoyed the tomato basil soup, breads, salad bar. Everyone could enjoy the dessert bar which was filled with pies, homemade sugar cookies, pumpkin bars and more. It gets crowded and service may take a bit of time. The rooms are full of historical memorabilia that give a sense of the history of Monroe.

Turner Hall is always a part of the community during the holiday season. During Thanksgiving weekend, A Christmas Festival always takes place with handmade goods and homemade baked goods. It's always a big success as it falls in line with Small Business Saturday and all the local shops located nearby advertise for each other! We had family from out of town and they really enjoyed the Swiss traditions the town and restaurant had to share!
