This place is way overpriced and on top of that they have bizarre extra fees too…read more Drinks and food are just ok. Views are nice: basically a rooftop city skyline. But for the high price, the quality, quantity and services are seriously lacking. They also have strange extra-charges. For example if you ask the left-over food boxed they will charge you a substantial fee for that! We had never seen or heard of such policy anywhere else and they don't inform you of such bizarre fee in advance either! The humidity and pollution don't help this place either. Will not go back and don't recommend it.

Pretty affordable if you're converting USD to PHP but likely very expensive for locals If you're on a local salary. I've been to actual speakeasies in the US that survived Prohibition era and they don't quite have the same feel--for starters, the building is new, there are no secret doors or hidden basements, there isn't a password or secret code to get in or antique version of the menu, no history about how the place survived when it was illegal to sell and distribute alcohol. 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.

Probably one of my favorite bars in the whole of Manila! When I want to have drinks after work or a…read morenightcap after a late dinner, I will most probably end up at The Bar. 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.

When I first heard about Aura Club opening, I was pretty excited as there aren't any nightclubs in…read morethe Cabanatuan area. Zapps is probably the closest thing there is, but it gets old to go to the same place over & over. Our group of 6 decided to grab a table upstairs that oversaw the stage and the tables below. We ordered several buckets of beer, but I wanted to have some hard alcohol. None of their cocktails were available, but of course, I could order a full bottle. I was the only one drinking hard liquor so didn't order a whole bottle. I can't imagine too many in Cabanatuan ever ordering bottles so I don't understand why they wouldn't sell single shots. The service is also really slow. It took forever to hunt down a server and many times they would forget what we would order. The only saving grace here was the performers. They band played some great sets and the DJ played a good dance mix. He kept the crowd going even though it was 90% male.

Situated in a nondescript warehouse in a less glamorous part of Makati is probably one of the coolest speakeasies I've been to in the Metro. The ambiance is dark, moody even, and they play a lot of progressive electro house most times I've been there. This isn't your typical bar where the standards are available and the bartender looks like your dad's pare. The bartenders here are definitely serious mixologists and there's no drink here I haven't enjoyed. There's a good selection of imported beers here, though I would like to see more local filipino craft here since the only local beer option is San Miguel Extra Dry unfortunately. Come here to chill with friends and let off some steam. They also offer food selections from their other neighbor, Joe's Meat Shack. If I'm not looking to go crazy on my few nights off and I'm looking for some straight chill, Finders Keepers is definitely a keeper for me.

In fact, when I was taking a photo of this sign, I was part of a firing range of people along the bar trying to get the same shot. It's hard not to. Statemently emblazoned in orange-red on the wall of this dimly-lit room in a warehouse hidden from mainstream Makati (to some, the all-encompassing word to describe the place may be "hipster"), it is a sign of things to find and keep: good music (from rock to electro to even jazz on Sundays), good vibe, good cocktails (love their F+K Sour!), good company, good times!

Part of my job is to make sure that foreign investors coming to the Philippines get to see what the…read morecountry has to offer, in order to gauge just how much they want to invest in our pioneer industries. This can be done in a variety of ways. If the package is an investor in the entertainment industry, one way is to bring him to Solaire's excellent Dragon Bar and watch him drink and gamble all night long. It's an win-win situation because the investor is enjoying himself, and I'd never be able to afford to sit in this place on my own. They'd throw me out when they find out I only have like 20 pesos in my wallet. My budget aside, this place serves great whatever-it-is-you-need. There's hot tea and coffee if the sun is still up, which you can pair with their excellent desserts, and there are signature cocktails and puke-under-the-table liquor you can pair with their imported cigars (sun up or sun down, I don't judge).

But it wasn't. It was just good. I will say though that maybe we ordered the wrong thing.There were other budget friendly options there.
