Z Roof Deck lives up to its name as a solid rooftop bar in Poblacion. While it isn't the highest…read morevantage point in the area, it still offers a great perspective of the neighborhood, with particularly nice views of the illuminated Rockwell buildings and the distant BGC skyline. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe--chill and social. Music starts up later in the evening (around 9 PM, I believe), which helps transition the mood as night falls. We visited fairly early and enjoyed the shift when the music began. However, one interaction notably dampened the experience. A brief, joking conversation with a bouncer took an unexpectedly dark turn. When I lightheartedly asked if anyone had ever tripped on the spiral staircase, he replied, "Only if I throw them off." Joking or not, for someone responsible for patron safety, this felt in poor taste and sounds like he wants to look or sound intimidating. It's a remark that unfortunately sticks with you. And it was of bad taste. Overall, Z Roof Deck has much to offer in terms of views and ambiance, but attention to staff training and customer interaction would elevate it from a good spot to a great one. 2 star from poor choice of words from the security at the roof deck. You want to be funny? Tell a better wholesome joke.

It's not a "cute" nightclub that plays top 40 electronic remixes that you can sing along and fist pump to. If that's your thing, don't go here. They play house music and I love this place for that reason. I'd return here if I was back in Manila. It's fun. The music is great. The vibe is great. I'd forgotten I was in the Philippines because many of the people there are internationals.

There are three floors to the club, the last one being an outdoor terrace with DJ and bar. The first two floors on the other hand are very dark, cloudy as you can smoke indoors and relatively small.

Interiors are beautiful and cozy. The leather chairs, central bar, and decor take you to another world where you can enjoy your classic cocktail, scotch, or wine in utter opulence. The staff are always efficient and helpful when serving and suggesting drinks if you are feeling a little adventurous. Try the Negroni 1919 or the Espresso Martini. Good selection of wines too and a decent repertoire of Single Malts (for a price!). Bar chow is available too if you feel like you need more than the refillable snacks they serve you. It's also the perfect place to have an intimate conversation or a casual meeting. Cigar smokers and smokers alike will enjoy the fact that you can smoke here (sorry non-smokers!). Price points are expensive compared to your average bars or speakeasies but you're at The Peninsula after all. The overall feel is nostalgic, classic, and definitely for those who enjoy high quality cocktails and drinks in a place that makes you feel like you're transported to a bar in Cuba with different world music playing in the background.

I've never been clubbing in PI at all but I've gone in a lot of places in Vegas as I live there right now so my expectations were really high for this club. And I can say that they are up there with Vegas clubs! They even have DJs perform at their club who performs in the US-- marshmello, nghtmre (posters I saw when I went). There were 20+ people in our party so my friend recommended just getting a table for us. It was definitely a lot cheaper than getting a table at a club in Vegas but a little pricey in pesos. We got an amazing VIP booth section on the second floor. I don't remember how much we paid but I think it was between 20K-25K pesos with drinks and food included! I think it was a steal comparing to clubs in Vegas! We ended up getting so many bottles of alcohol, beer and lots of appetizers to share. I was just sad because they didn't have Jameson which is my favorite alcohol. So we just got mainly Hennessy and Jager! The service was great! The staff were very attentive to our needs, always making sure to check if we need anything else. And towards the end, they were even super patient with my friends and I since most of my friends were passed out on the couch. They waited and even offered wheelchairs to people who can't walk! Lol. Also, the party is literally all night long, the club don't close until 5/6AM. Another tip! There is a Denny's steps away from this club... so right after partying, you can grab breakfast and sober up next door!

The crowd was a perfect mix: locals in hoodies and sneakers, some foreigners vibing, everyone just there to lose themselves in the music. Caught this killer hip-hop/trap set that had the whole place moving without feeling forced or pretentious like a lot of BGC spots. Slipped upstairs to Mao Den for a bit--smaller room, tighter sound, killer cocktails--and it felt like its own little secret world. Left at 4am sweaty, happy, and already planning the next one. If you want real underground Manila nights without the dress code drama, this place is still unbeatable. 5 stars every time.

It's not your typical kind that…read moreyou mostly find in Manila, the atmosphere here is much more relaxed and you can dress casually. It is an underground industrial warehouse type of club that focuses mainly on underground music. It is where you can usually find independent, up and coming local and international artists playing mostly hip hop, bass and trap music. Most of the time, it's not really for the EDM type. This place also has different areas inside, which offers different ambiances and music scenes too. On the second floor, they have the Mao Den, a room which has its own DJ and bar. Black Market is also the place where I always celebrate "birthday salubongs" and halloween with friends, which were always fun! This is one of the things that I miss back home. Highly recommended!

Pretty affordable if you're converting USD to PHP but likely very expensive for locals If you're on a local salary.

Despite not having the culture and history behind it, it is still a very good experience and would highly recommend for the drinks and ambiance.
