24.01.2022 Online shopping.. Hmmm let me make this guilt free for us Stimulate the economy.. Totally socially acceptable right now and these amazing ladies are local Brisbanites to boot. Have a look, give them a follow, spread the word #supportlocal #community

21.01.2022 Stay alert, stay safe. Remember it is even more important now to do what you can to; Stay socially distant when around others Wash your hands (and the kids!) Wear masks when outside your home ... Even more importantly - if you feel the slightest bit sick, even if it’s maybe just a cold, time to get tested. Lots of love Monkey Fans

16.01.2022 Yay! Well done to The Jam Pantry what a wild ride you’ve had! Go buy a coffee Monkey Fans and get this awesome fellow Greenslopes venue rolling again

16.01.2022 Hi Monkey Fans! I don’t do this often, and I know there will be differing opinions, but I feel VERY strongly about this so I would love it if you could hear me out for a moment and then feel free to pass it by if you don’t agree Someone told me recently I should keep my personal beliefs and business separate, but anyone who has met me probably knows that’s not an option haha! I’m confident that those of you who may not agree with this cause will understand we all have o...ur opinions and they don’t affect how well you make coffee Everyone in Brisbane should be aware of what is happening in our city right now. Have a read of the details, and if you get as angry as I did, time to help however you can. For me, it’s getting word out and doing what I can to support the protestors on site. I’m personally unable to be at the blockade, but being there physically isn’t the only way to be powerful. #standforthosewhocant #refugeesarehuman #7yearsis7toolong

15.01.2022 You know all those gorgeous cheeky monkeys hanging around lately? Check out their cousins and maybe get some to keep! Anyone have some awesome names for these little fellas? Or know someone else who might love one? While you’re at it, have a read about this amazing business. Veronica, the wonderful person behind Happily Made is an inspiration of a human helping others for all the right reasons. This is a business I love to share!

15.01.2022 Ray & the team at Rock n Roll Butcher Greenslopes do an amazing job, and back before all this COVID craziness we would order from them to deliver you the best quality we could! Funny story, Ray has always been a wonderful business owner - small world but for my very first job as a fresh faced 15yr old I worked for Ray when we both lived down in Canberra! Imagine my surprise to reconnect with the person who made me love hospitality when I ventured into my own first business - AND he remembered me too! That’s the sign of a great boss If you are a meat eater and a lover of great local business, get on down to support them Monkey Fans

14.01.2022 Our new national icons #chilliheelerismyhero

09.01.2022 We’re back Monkey Fans! For the moment we will be offering takeaway food and drinks each day - watch this space for updates! #comehangwithus @ The Monkey Bar Cafe

09.01.2022 Good morning Monkey Fans I’m sad to announce that we will be closing weekdays for the moment. It’s been a tough year, and at the moment we will be focusing on getting weekends back to our usual great level and then work on the rest as we can! I apologise for any inconvenience and thank you sincerely for all your support so far. ... See you Saturday!

07.01.2022 Love this, thanks Kiruna! Mums and dads - I found this great for our inevitable everyone is different! conversations with the littles

05.01.2022 Hi Monkey Fans! Just a reminder we are currently take away only and on a very limited menu. Just want you all to be reminded before Fathers Day on Sunday (yes, that’s coming too! Bonus reminder ) so there is time to make other plans if you’re looking for a sit down brekkie for Dad, Pop, or whoever you celebrate with! Some awesome venues I can recommend and that take bookings (keep in mind I don’t work at any though so unsure on their availability!) ;... Lady Marmalade Cafe and Bar The Jam Pantry SNAG & BROWN Bruno's BNE Have an awesome weekend, and if you feel like a coffee or even just a chat swing by MBC

04.01.2022 Don’t panic yet Monkey Fans! Some irresponsible reporting has occurred this morning regarding hotspot areas - but the truth is it only relates to Aged Care on the Southside. At MBC we will be wearing masks, gloves and using sanitizer / washing hands constantly to do our bit - be prepared to see Ninja Monkeys! ... Stay safe, stay informed - and most of all, stay your beautiful selves

03.01.2022 Thank all the powers that be for tuckshop being open today at E’s school #howwasthat10weeks #seeyousoonschoolmonkeys

03.01.2022 Well Monkey Fans, it’s the end of an era I’m really devastated to announce that we have finished up at Monkey Bar Cafe I had plans to continue for at least another year and build everything back up again, but unfortunately the junior football club decided I was no longer what they wanted for the venue. After 5 years of doing nothing but support them, and basically never hearing from them, this year they want to be involved and think what I’m doing isn’t good enough. ... I had found an awesome team to buy the business off me and continue the great venue but for some reason that wasn’t good enough for the football club either and they discouraged the new buyers to the point that they pulled out of the sale. Rather than offer me the chance to submit a proposal or explain what I wanted to achieve (and maybe make some of the money lost due to the cancelled sale!) the club took proposals from their own members without telling me. I was pretty devastated to learn this had happened without being given the chance, but as the club mentioned landlords don’t care about that. So here we are. After a tough year of COVID, staffing issues, stock delays and more demands from the football club.. I was left in a position of paying off some owed rent to the club with mutual payment agreements. It would seem that was no longer good enough for them - I don’t know as again the junior club have never discussed this with me. Thankfully the overall Annerley Recreation Club (that the separately run junior club is part of) has helped me negotiate the exit of lease agreement. In exchange for waiving my debt, I will be handing in the keys on Sunday and leaving them everything I’ve worked so hard for and built up in the past 5 years. It would have been better to sell the business and recoup some of my costs and effort - but they ruined that in favor of taking their own members proposal. I may sound angry - I am. I may sound sad - I am. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every single person that has bought a coffee, enjoyed a meal or just come in for a chat at Monkey Bar I’ve loved every second of being your local coffee spot and getting to know our lovely community - I’ll miss you all more than you know! Always make good choices my friends, be kind, be safe and lots of love from my Monkey family to yours

01.01.2022 FYI Monkey Fans - just in case you haven’t already heard it on the grapevine!
