Monkey Business Bar — Restaurant in City Centre

When you're on a mission for some of the tastiest margaritas at the southernmost part of Baja California Mexico, look no further because "Monkey Business Bar" will have you covered. Also known as "Monkey's Cave Bar", this place has been serving thousands of locals and tourists dating back to 2015. It was also highly recommended to me from a local tour guide that was gracious enough to show me the best taco spot, "El Paisa" and this place that supposedly serves the best margaritas in town right down the street from there.

Located directly on Blvd. Paseo de la Marina and in the epicenter of the heavily tourist areas of Cabo San Lucas, Monkey Business primarily gets most of its visitors from cruise ships that dock relatively close to here. Since I was one of those cruise passengers that enjoyed my time in Cabo from 1:00-6:00pm, I had more than enough time to check this place out. I arrived roughly at around 3:00pm during the afternoon of Sunday 4/24/2022. What makes this place unique is that its located smack dab in the middle of souvenir shops as well as many other bars and restaurants.

Since I was quite buzzed off a few Modelo beers as well as tequila tasting, I might as well go all out and give their margaritas a try. I ended up going with a "Classic Margarita" on the rocks with no salt which was $140 Mexican Pesos = $7 US dollars while our friend got a "Mango Margarita" blended which came to $180 Mexican Pesos = $9 US dollars. Not bad considering that these things were huge while these prices in the United States go for at least a few dollars more.

After receiving my margarita, I was wowed with how huge this thing was. And I will say this.. if you haven't tried the tequila in Mexico, I highly recommend it because it goes down as smooth as silk. I gulped down every last sip of this while getting even more of a buzz to fulfill my Sunday funday and Cabo San Lucas experience. To those that have more time to visit a place like this, they are open 10am-12am seven days a week. The bar area is relatively small and quaint but there are several tables to enjoy your margarita.

All in all, "Monkey Business Bar" is the real deal. With well over a dozen unique types of margaritas as well as a few mojitos, this place has you covered. Great service, amazing colorful atmosphere, good vibes, low prices, and strong drinks that will please many people. My rating, a...

I’ll probably come here once a day when I’m in Cabo. Every single drink they make with a lot of love and passion. I’d argue that some of them are the best in Cabo.

The traditional margarita, and every single flavour that I’ve tried has been an absolute delight. I’m a little close with the staff there as I’ve been coming for 10 years, I challenged them to make me a spicier than usual jalapeño margarita. It almost killed me, but it was one of the best drinks I’ve ever had in my life.

They make a drink called the monkey business that I only recommend having if you skip dinner or maybe at lunchtime during the day, it’s absolutely incredible but it’s basically a...

We happened to stumble across this place when our Lyft driver dropped us off a block away from our requested destination. I'm so glad they did.

This place was so much fun. The bartenders were friendly and made great drinks. The wife had a nice sized margarita and I had a beer for a very reasonable price. This is a great spot for people watching since its basically a covered patio. I'm pretty sure there was live music when we drove by later that night.

Not much more you can ask for with great...
