Gnostic

Climb up to the fourth floor in Poblacion and you'll find Gnostic, a cocktail bar that's fully vegan and does tarot readings. It's dark and a bit witchy inside. Closes at 10PM, so it's an early-evening spot, not a late one.

Cocktails are around P300 and they're creative without being fussy. Beer's P180. The food is Filipino done vegan, so get the kare-kare or the sisig. Both are worth ordering even if you eat meat.

Queer-friendly crowd, people who dress how they want, and vegans tired of having no options. Good for a slow drink and a long chat.
