17 venues · Updated November 2026
Antipolo is where Manila drives up for the view. Most of the bars are on Sumulong Highway, on the hill above Marikina, and a lot of them face the city lights. Cloud 9 has the deck that wraps all the way around. Calmado is built like rice terraces. Mt. Makatubong has cottages down the cliff and never closes. Double Deck and Padi's Point give you the same view with cheaper beer. None of the 18 bars we list charge at the door. Cocktails are about ₱300, and beer mostly comes by the bucket. Get there before sunset and bring a sober driver.

Most of the view bars sit on Sumulong Highway. It climbs the hill from the Masinag junction on Marcos Highway. LRT-2 now ends at Antipolo station near Masinag, but from there you still need a Grab or a jeepney up the hill.
Grab from Cubao or Katipunan is about 30 to 45 minutes without traffic. From Makati or BGC, give it an hour or more on a Friday. Getting a ride back down late can take a while, so plan it before you go.
Driving is easiest. Almost every bar here has its own lot. The road is steep and winding, so whoever drives stays sober.
Friday to Sunday are the big nights. The tables right on the edge go early, so aim to arrive before sunset.
Closing times are all over the place. Cloud 9 shuts at 11pm and Tyvo at midnight. Double Deck and Cafe Lupe go to 2am on weekends. Don Rafael runs to 3am and Padi's Point to 5am. Mt. Makatubong, Living Stone and Outrigger are open 24 hours.
Dress is casual nearly everywhere. Shorts are fine. Tahanan Bistro, RAM 2024 and Grilla list smart casual.
Bring cash and GCash. Not every grill takes cards.
It's a bit cooler up there than in the city, so a light jacket helps. Drive slowly on Sumulong after dark.
No. None of the 18 Antipolo bars we list charge a cover. You pay for food and drinks, and the view is free.
Yes, a few. Mt. Makatubong, Living Stone, Outrigger and Barkada Treat are all listed as open 24 hours. Padi's Point closes at 5am and RAM 2024 at 4am, Tuesday to Sunday.
Cloud 9 for the wraparound deck and hanging bridge. Calmado for the terrace seating along Sumulong. Double Deck for two levels facing the lights. Tyvo in Grand Heights if you want KTV rooms with the view. Mt. Makatubong if you want a cottage on the cliff.
