Best bars in Manila 2026 for a first-time visitor?

fmd_goodNurnberg · #bars #manila #makati
I'm flying in from Nurnberg next month and staying around Makati, so I'm looking for a good bar within walking distance of Ayala Avenue. Any spots with a decent cocktail list that aren't too touristy?

not a local but I've stayed in Makati a few times; try the bars along Legazpi Street near Greenbelt, less touristy than the Ayala Avenue strip and walkable.

Oto, on Polaris Street, quieter and better drinks.

yeah Legazpi works but walk one block over to Poblacion for the real local bar scene, cheaper drinks and open later

Agree, though Greenbelt 3 gets loud after 10.

Check The Curator on H.V. Dela Costa in Salcedo Village, a short walk from the strip, tiny room, serious cocktails, no tour buses.

Great Shakes Corporation keeps coming up, does it have reliable wifi and outlets? Also curious if most cafes there are cash only or if cards work fine.

Cards work at most Manila cafes now, but keep cash for smaller spots since some still only take GCash or pesos.
