LAST monkey

Last Monkey is an urban cocktail bar at Bankgaten 6, offering a drinks programme built around curiosity, craft and a balance between familiar recipes and experimental ideas. The bar suits guests who enjoy exploring flavours, as well as those who prefer a well-made classic. Each cocktail is presented as an intentional combination, with the menu’s character moving between recognisable styles and less predictable creations.

The bar’s approach gives equal space to timeless cocktails and new interpretations. Familiar drinks provide an accessible starting point, while bolder combinations offer room for discovery. This makes Last Monkey suitable for a casual evening drink, a more focused tasting, or a celebration centred on cocktail culture. The atmosphere is welcoming to both local regulars and travellers looking for an evening bar experience in Bergen.

Last Monkey also offers structured experiences for guests who want more context behind the drinks. Cocktail tastings introduce a selection that ranges from established classics to inventive creations, with guidance from the bar’s mixologists. The format allows guests to compare different flavours and styles rather than simply ordering one drink at a time.

Cocktail workshops take the experience behind the bar. Participants learn how to prepare classic and experimental cocktails while working through techniques such as shaking and mixing. The workshop format is hands-on and gives an occasion a practical, social focus. It can suit celebrations or groups interested in learning more about cocktail preparation.

A separate Norwegian spirits tasting provides an introduction to drinks made in Norway. The selection is connected to local nature, traditions and production, giving visitors a way to explore Norwegian flavours through spirits. This experience may appeal particularly to travellers seeking a drinks-led taste of the country, while the main bar remains open to guests who simply want a classic cocktail or something unfamiliar.

Last Monkey operates as an evening venue, with later service on Friday and Saturday than on the other listed nights. The address places the bar within Bergen’s Bankgaten area, making it a practical stop for an evening built around cocktails rather than a full meal. Reservations and organised experiences can be arranged through the venue’s booking contact.
