Top-rated cocktail lounge in Maginhawa. Live instrumental music, cozy/stylish. Oliver drink standout. Spirit-forward Negronis. New favorite north of EDSA.
The Scene
Maginhawa is mostly food, so a proper cocktail bar there stands out. Never Strangers Bar & Lounge is small, cozy and a little stylish, with live instrumental music on some nights. Plenty of people will tell you it's the best cocktail bar in QC.
Cocktails are around P400 and lean spirit forward. Ask for the Oliver, or their Negroni if you want something with a bite. Beers are P240. There's a short list of small plates and all of it gets good reviews.
The crowd is QC locals, couples on dates, and people who care what's in the glass.
