The Scene
You'll pull up and think the whole strip is closed. There's a guard who points you to the door. 78-53-86 is a tiny speakeasy in Katipunan that fits about six people at a time, built around more than 10,000 records.
Jazz on vinyl, played the way it's supposed to be. Cocktails are P400, so get the mojito or ask Jelo to make you something. Food is popcorn and nothing else, so eat first. Open daily from 4PM til 1AM, and afternoons are quiet.
Couples and pairs of friends who came to listen. Don't bring ten people.
