Lifetime residents Paul and Kathy Meyers had the dream to revive a local run-down building to offer great food, entertainment and a social gathering place close to home. Named after their daughters, Monica and Chelsea Rae, the Meyers successfully opened that dream in December 2007.
With a dining area that can seat 200 plus, Monirae’s is well deserved of its habitat. A simple bar adorns the front of the building that opens up to a large dining area as well as a stage that provides the scene for countless forms of entertainment.
To see an events calendar, menus, and catering and banquet information go to the website at www.moniraes.com or visit them on Facebook or Myspace.
The menu for the dining area is extensive and includes everything from loaded phillys, prime rib and a salad bar on the weekends, several Rueben variations, and a fish fry on Fridays.
Appetizers range from shrimp cocktail and calamari to cheese stix, loaded fries and fried ravioli. These all range from $2.49 to $6.99. The menu also offers several types of salads starting at $7.99 and includes an in-house soup special.
Moving farther onto the menu presents an array of delectable options sure to please any palate. The first section is Italian Delights. This has several options including chicken parmesan, spaghetti, lasagna, and ziti all ranging from $10.99 to $13.99.
Also listed are several sandwiches and burgers. These include the popular Rueben and loaded phillys as well as a haddock sandwich, starting at only $4.99 to $6.99.
The menu also offers deserts for $4.99 and even several options of kid’s meals for only $3.99.
Monirae’s is now going into its fourth year of business and the Meyers are excited about the event line-up they have to finish the year. Not only are they working on making up an outside venue for more out door parties, but they have boosted up the catering part of the business as well.
With a full menu available for almost every party imaginable: weddings, birthdays, showers, and even community events can go off without a hitch.
The catering menu includes an in-house buffet, sit down dinners, and party trays that will feed from 35 to 40 people. They also house luncheons and will do a private bar for a small bartender fee of $35. The banquet room will seat 200-plus people to accommodate any party.
Monirae’s dining area is open seven days a week, Monday through Saturday 11 am to 2:30 am and open at noon on Sunday.
Monirae’s is also known for the entertainment it provides. Most of the bands start at 10 pm. Most are local bands. However, the Meyers are very excited about the national shows they get to host.
“They like coming here and even more importantly, we like having them,” Kathy Meyers states. “We have been blessed over the years with friendship with the local bands and we are building new friendships with others now, too.”
Some of the entertainment Monirae’s has seen includes bands such as Black Foot, Under the Gun, 50/50, One Hard Krank, and Benny Mardonis.
Although the bands are a big part of the entertainment at Monirae’s, they also host several other forms of entertainment. There are been some talk of starting up comedy nights again. Monirae’s hosts two nights a week of Zumba with margarita specials afterward. And midget wrestling is making a comeback on November 13.
On Saturday, September 11 from 10 pm to 2 am there will be a pig roast, clambake and chicken barbeque. It will be an all day event and host musical guest 50/50. This is their customer appreciation event of the year. At $20 a ticket, they are limited.
On Monday, September 20 from 9 pm to 1 am, Monirae’s will host Tantric, Burn Halo, Adema, and Flaw. Tickets are $15 pre-sale and $20 on the day of the show. The first 100 tickets sold will receive a free VIP pre-show party ticket. “We expect this to be a huge event and we’re really excited about it,” Meyers states.
