Rooftop Bars in BGC: The Best Views in Bonifacio Global City
BGC's skyline is one of the best backdrops for a drink in Southeast Asia. Here's where to catch it properly — the rooftops worth the elevator ride.
BGC From Above
BGC's skyline is honestly one of the best backdrops for a drink in Southeast Asia — clean, modern, and lit up like a postcard after dark. If you're already committed to the area, these are the rooftops in BGC worth the elevator ride. For the city-wide version, see the best rooftop bars in Manila.
The View Headliners
O2 Rooftop Bar is the one to beat — 27 floors up at D2 Residence Tower, with skyline views in every direction, live bands, and a Love Potion cocktail that's become its signature. Straight Up Bar at Seda is the more refined hotel rooftop: acoustic nights, a daily buy-one-take-one happy hour, and a sophisticated crowd.
Easy-Going Options
Not every BGC rooftop is a special occasion. OUT OF OFFICE BGC is the relaxed, cocktail-forward after-work spot that's an easy first stop for newcomers — its Work From Home cocktail is the order.
Just Over the Line in Makati
Two more worth crossing for: 1018 Rooftop Bar, a stairs-only Makati climb to a quieter skyline, and Encima Roofdeck, a Tex-Mex rooftop atop City Garden with free valet. They're a short Grab from BGC and round out a rooftop night nicely.
Plan the Night
Pair this with the broader BGC nightlife guide, or if a club is on the cards, the Palace BGC guide covers the complex next door.
