LIT Manila
BGC · Cocktail bar
Boutique Japanese whiskey bar. Rare bottles, intimate, jackfruit-based cocktails.
The Scene
A small Japanese whisky bar in BGC, over by Serendra. LIT Manila keeps the lights low and the room quiet, and the shelves are full of rare bottles you won't find easily here. It feels a lot like a bar in Tokyo.
Get the whisky flight if you want to try the limited stuff, or the jackfruit cocktail if you'd rather have something mixed. Cocktails run about P500. There are bar snacks, and you can order food in from the restaurants next door. No loud music, just talking.
Mostly couples on dates and whisky people, plus BGC office crowd winding down after work.
