There are cocktail bars in Malta… and then there’s Cheeky Monkey. With cheeky charm by the bucketful, DJs spinning bangers, Happy Hour pouring 2-for-1 goodness daily, and a line-up of epic concoctions, we’re not your average cocktail bar in Malta, we’re a full-blown personality test with a twist (of citrus).
Whether you’re dropping by our buzzing Valletta cocktail bar on Merchants Street, or vibing seafront in our Qawra bar with a view, Cheeky Monkey serves up unforgettable nights. What’s more, our mixologists shake up a riot of flavour-packed creations, from signature concoctions and bold beer cocktails to sparkling Prosecco spritzes, fruity non-alcoholic fusions, and everything in between.
Here’s a cheeky little taste of what awaits you on our cocktail menu to treat your taste buds and stir your sense of adventure.
Signature Cocktails
At Cheeky Monkey, each of our outlets serves up its own cheeky creations, so whether you’re in Qawra or Valletta, you’ve got fresh and unique flavours to explore.
In Qawra, the Jungle Crush is a wild ride with pineapple and ginger-infused rum meets passionfruit and coconut-matcha foam for a tropical escape in a glass. Loco Lychee is made from coconut rum, lychee-pineapple sour, and fizzy lemonade make it the go-to for anyone who’s ever ordered cocktails before noon. And if “quiet night” isn’t in your vocabulary, the Cheeky Chimp brings bold banana and rum-fuelled chaos.
Over in Valletta, discover picks like the floral-forward Aviation, the smoky-smooth Saz Who?, or our own zesty twist on a Cheeky Margarita. Basically, if you’re looking for the best cocktail bar in Malta, you’ve just found two amazing options!
Classic Cocktails
Every proper cocktail bar in Malta needs to serve up the classics, and at Cheeky Monkey, we shake (and stir) them like pros. Our bartenders have mastered the balance, flavour, and flair it takes to make these timeless legends shine.
Sip on a Cosmopolitan, the ultimate mix of vodka, triple sec, cranberry, and lime. Want something smooth with a citrus twist? Go for an Amaretto Sour which is sweet, tangy, and oh-so-sippable. Our Caipirinha will transport you straight to a Brazilian beach with every lime-charged gulp, and if you need a pick-me-up, nothing beats our rich, velvety Espresso Martini. It’s the perfect pre-party boost (or end-of-night indulgence … we don’t judge). Whether you’re a purist or just curious, our classics hit the spot every time.
Beer Cocktails
Love your beers but fancy mixing things up with a cheeky twist? Our beer cocktails are the perfect mash-up, taking your favourite brews and giving them a bold new flavour spin.
The Dirty Bastard takes a normal lager then blends it with whisky, lime juice, and sugar syrup for a smooth but punchy finish. The Dissident is a refreshing combo of lager, tequila, strawberry purée, and lime juice offering a sweet and zingy taste experience. And for tropical vibes without the plane ticket, our Tropical beer cocktail blends lager with passion fruit purée and lemon juice, for a crisp, fruity hit.
Prosecco Cocktails
If bubbles are your love language, our Prosecco cocktails are here to flirt with your tastebuds. As the best cocktail bar Malta has to offer (if we say so ourselves), we’ve put some fizz into your favourite drinks, starting with the classic Aperol Spritz, which is sunshine in a glass.
But for a real cheeky twist, meet our Fizzy Monkey. This playful number combines cognac, banana syrup, angostura bitters, and a generous pour of Prosecco. The result is a sparkling, fruity cocktail that’s classy with a hint of chaos, just how we like it. Whether you’re celebrating something big or just clinking glasses for the fun of it, our Prosecco cocktails bring the sparkle to your night’s out.
Non-Alcoholic Cocktails
At the best cocktail bar Malta, everyone deserves a great drink in hand, whether it’s boozy or not. Our non-alcoholic cocktails are full of flavour, fun, and flair (without the fuzzy head the next day). Craving something fruity and tropical? Go for the Bora Bora, a mix of pineapple, lemon, passion fruit, and grenadine that tastes like holiday in a glass. If you’re more into crisp, cool sips, try the Green Apple which is sweet, sharp, and seriously refreshing. Or indulge in a creamy Virgin Colada, the cheekiest way to enjoy coconut and pineapple without the rum. Perfect for designated drivers, early risers, or anyone who’s just here for the good times, there are plenty more non-alcoholic options to explore.
