Cotacachi has yet another business owned by an ex-pat. The Monkey Bar opened a couple of weeks ago to great enthusiasm (including mine). I got a little wild and crazy that night but it was all great fun with good friends. The funny part is that this was on a Saturday night and before noon on Sunday, people I went to play cards with already knew how many drinks I'd had (five of them--yes, I know, that's a rather high number and, so, probably memorable). Small town living is such a riot. If you can't deal with people talking about you, this might not be your ideal place to live.
Isn't it lovely? All the paintings on the wall are originals painted by a local artist (by "local" I mean someone in one of the nearby communities).
In addition to the bar, Michael will be opening a restaurant next door as soon as the chef he's hired can get here from Italy. I can hardly wait.
The Monkey Bar is located on Leather Street and Pedro Moncayo, in the same building at RE/MAX Realty, where Daniel's Restaurant used to be (yep, that's the one Michael will be taking over).
