When you hear the word gastropub, you usually expect a few things. Great-tasting food, a relaxed atmosphere, solid drinks, and a place where you can properly unwind with your mates.
And that’s exactly what we deliver at Cheeky Monkey. With two locations, one on the Qawra coast and one right in the heart of Valletta, we deliver a modern gastropub experience with plenty of personality baked right into the experience.
Whichever gastropub outlet of ours you choose to visit, the attitude stays the same. Fun first. Good food always. And a sensational selection of drinks for all vibes and moods.
Gastropub in Qawra: Seafront Vibes with a Cheeky Twist
If your idea of the perfect gastropub includes sea views and a vibe that naturally drifts from afternoon drinks into full-blown night mode, then our Qawra gastropub is your playground. Set right along the promenade, Cheeky Monkey has become one of the most recognisable bars in Qawra and a favourite among those exploring Bugibba pubs and the wider St Paul’s Bay scene.
By day, it’s laid-back and social with tables spilling onto the terrace, cocktails catching the sun, and plates of comfort food landing on tables with zero ceremony. By night, the energy ramps up. Music gets louder, the dance floor comes alive, and the crowd shifts effortlessly from casual drinks to full-on fun.
At our gastropub in Malta you can start with a burger and a beer, ease into cocktails as the sun sets, and suddenly realise you’re dancing without ever changing venues. We’re part bar, part pub, part social hub, and always fully committed to good times.
Gastropub in Valletta: Right in the Middle of the Action
Our Valletta gastropub is always bold, buzzing, and unapologetically social. Located right on Merchants Street, Cheeky Monkey Valletta places you at the centre of one of Malta’s most popular nightlife streets. It stands out among pubs in Valletta by being lively without being chaotic, relaxed without ever being boring.
Outdoor tables spill onto the street, making it perfect for people-watching while sipping cocktails or tucking into dinner. Inside, the atmosphere is animate and upbeat. Our Valletta pub is also ideal for private events. With a dedicated private room available, it’s a popular choice for birthdays, work celebrations, and group gatherings that let you unwind and have a great time with your crew.
What Ties Our Gastropubs in Malta Together
What ties Cheeky Monkey’s gastropubs together is consistency where it counts. Our food is indulgent, generous, and designed to satisfy, whether that’s juicy burgers, stacked platters, saucy nibbles, or comfort classics that pair perfectly with a drink in hand.
The drinks menu is just as considered. From signature cocktails and classics to beers, wines, spirits, and everything in between, this is a place that respects choice without overwhelming you. And then there’s Happy Hour! This is exactly where cocktails come two-for-one and the mood instantly lifts.
Each location has its own menu touches too, giving regulars something new to look forward to depending on where they visit.
