Katipunan and Maginhawa, student crowds, slower pace.

Fair, though the crowd skews younger than the BGC set.

Student crowds there skew young, so for someone moving for work I'd point to Makati instead.

the crowd there thins out during sem breaks tho, so weeknights hit different than the Makati after-work scene

Weeknights, Poblacion after 10.

Slower for sure, but that scene's mostly undergrads.

I've only visited, but friends there say apps dominate and the Makati/BGC bar scene is more expat-heavy than local. Casual dating is common, though many still look for something serious fairly quickly.

Agree on apps, though the serious part varies a lot by crowd.

1246 Bar and Restaurant in Manila, worth a visit in 2026?

fmd_good1246 Bar and Restaurant · #restaurant #manila
Stopping in Manila for a few nights in 2026 and 1246 Bar and Restaurant keeps coming up. Is it more of a chill hangout or does it get rowdy later? Also curious what the drink prices look like there.
