The Cheeky Monkey

You'll find The Cheeky Monkey tucked away on Handley Arcade, the sort of spot locals actually know about rather than stumbling through on a Saturday night crawl. It's got that relaxed vibe where you can sink a pint, try something a bit more adventurous from behind the bar, or just settle in with mates without anyone making a fuss about it. The place punches above its weight for a town-centre bar—staff know what they're doing, the drinks are solid, and there's enough character here to keep you coming back rather than defaulting to the chain places nearby.
