Monkey Shoulder, the first 100% malt whisky for mixing, is launching two fun ways to enjoy summer in Poblacion. Every Thursday, the brand will partner with hip bars in the city’s night-out capital to offer just-as-fun alternatives and help partygoers escape the feeling of being stuck in the city. The first takeover of Apothecary in Poblacion on May 9 is an exciting sign of what the brand will offer in the summer of 2024.
“Monkey Thursday is one of the fun ways we uphold the brand’s legacy of shaking things up,” Brendon Khoo, Monkey Shoulder’s South East Asia Regional Brand Ambassador, shares. “Whether for nights out such as our Monkey Thursdays or even for nights in, Monkey Shoulder will keep you company and will keep the fun times going.”
Here’s a rundown of the whole Monkey Thursday experience:
| DATE | VENUE |
| May 16 | B House, Poblacion |
| May 23 | Dr. Wine, Poblacion |
| May 30 | Cuento, Poblacion |
| June 6 | Guilt PH, Poblacion |
Each Monkey Thursday features the Monkey Menu, where you can order from a selection of Monkey Shoulder cocktails. Each cocktail gets you a token to access Monkey Thursday’s unique feature: Silent Disco, the Arcade Game, or the Claw Machine. You can also get a Monkey Shoulder pourer and glass bands by purchasing an entire bottle of Monkey Shoulder.
Monkey Shoulder will also open the Monkey Mixer Van for unique and on-the-go summer nights in the city. Metro Manila partygoers can gain entry to the Monkey Mixer Van on May 23-25 and May 29-June 1 with every purchase of a bottle of Monkey Shoulder in Boozeshop and Soju Express.
Inside the Monkey Mixer Van, fun times await and abound. There’s karaoke on board, as well as unlimited Monkey Shoulder cocktails. Each partygoer can also participate in the Mixer Bingo, where the first participant to complete all tasks will take home a bottle of Monkey Shoulder.
The Monkey Mixer Van is a dynamic take on the concept of the bar crawl, as each run will have pit stops in the form of hip bars in the city, each with distinct vibes, activities, and Monkey Shoulder-crafted cocktails on offer.
Each run is limited to 10 pax and takes on a first come, first served basis.
