How We Proved Cheeky Monkey is Much More Than Just Another Good Bar in Malta

Ah, drinks in Malta … now there’s a topic close to our monkey hearts. Whether it’s a lazy afternoon by the sea, a night out in Valletta, or a cheeky weekend in Qawra, there’s always a good time for a good drink.

At Cheeky Monkey, we’re proud to be one of Malta’s best bars, known for our wide selection of drinks that go way beyond the ordinary. We’ve got cocktails that’ll make your taste buds dance, gins that’ll have you swinging from the vines, and beers that go monkey hand-in-monkey hand perfectly with the Mediterranean sun.

So, grab a glass and join us as we take a little tour through our drinks menu overflowing with happiness (and a whole lotta cheekiness).

Beers & Ciders: Because Nothing Beats the Classics

Not a cocktail fan? No problem. At Cheeky Monkey, we’ve got beers and ciders for every mood. Whether you’re team lager, ale, or IPA, you’ll find plenty to clink glasses over.

On tap, you’ll find favourites like Cisk, Carlsberg, and Guinness, while our bottled range features everything from Budweiser to Paulaner. Feeling fruity? Our chilled ciders are here to keep you cool under the Maltese sun. There’s no doubt that a pint enjoyed on our Qawra terrace counts among the most satisfying drinks in Malta, especially with the sea breeze in your hair and a view that’s pure gold.

Gins: For Those Who Like It Botanical

Whether you prefer your G&T crisp and classic or bursting with flavour, we’ve got a gin for every mood swing. We’re talking Gordon’s, Bombay Sapphire, Hendrick’s, Tanqueray, The Botanist, and Monkey 47, each one paired with just the right tonic and garnish. Our team knows their botanicals like scientists know their test tubes. It’s no wonder gin lovers call us one of the coolest gin bars in Malta. Swing by and let us serve you a masterclass in good taste.

Rums: Sunshine in a Glass

When it comes to drinks in Malta, nothing says “holiday mode” quite like a good rum. Ours come in all shades, white, dark, gold, or spiced. You’ll find favourites like Bacardi, Havana Club, Kraken, and Don Papa, ready to make you feel like you’re floating in the Caribbean. Whether you like your rum neat or in one of our tropical creations (looking at you, Piña Colada fans), one thing’s for sure, Cheeky Monkey knows how to pour a little sunshine into your glass.

Whisky and Cognac: Smooth Operators

Now for the classy crowd. Our whisky and cognac selection is enough to make any connoisseur grin. You’ll find a global line-up including Scotch from Highland and Islay, Irish favourites like Jameson, American classics such as Jack Daniel’s, and premium Japanese whiskies like Nikka. If your evening calls for sophistication, a glass of Hennessy or Courvoisier will hit the spot. Because even cheeky chimps have refined tastes sometimes.

Wine & Prosecco: For the Sippers and Socialites

Some people love their sparkling. For them, we uncork the good stuff. Our wine list features everything from crisp Maltese whites to rich Argentinian reds and elegant French rosés. For celebrations (or just because it’s Tuesday) our Prosecco cocktails like the Aperol Spritz or Fizzy Monkey bring bubbles and joy to any occasion. And if you prefer a quiet glass of red while watching the sunset over Valletta, well… we’ll pour that too.

Liqueurs & Other Spirits: The Finishing Touches

A true cocktail bar never skips the details, and our liqueurs are the secret sauce behind many of our most loved creations. Think Baileys, Amaretto, Frangelico, and Kahlua, each adding their own touch of sweetness, spice, or kick to the mix. We’ve also got tequilas, aperitifs, and digestifs for those who like to mix things up. From Campari spritzes to Jägermeister shots, we’re here for your late-night experiments.

Other Drinks: Because We’ve Got Everyone Covered

Not every round needs to be alcoholic (we’re cheeky, not pushy). For the designated drivers, morning-after heroes, smoothie lovers, and non-alcoholic swingers, we serve everything from non-alcoholic cocktails to fresh juices, teas, coffees, and house-made lemonades. Because happiness doesn’t always come with a shot of rum.
