The Scene
A glass house on a hotel roof in Legazpi Village, and you have to know it's there to find it. Seltsam is small and cozy, with a resident cat that sometimes sits with you. Open 2PM until 2 or 3AM, closed Mondays.
Drinks run P240 to P380, cheaper than the bars around it. Get the Negroni at P360, or the Gin Pompelo. Food is better than it needs to be, karaage bites, a burger with a real beef patty, pizza. House music, kept low.
Makati office crowd after work, couples, and people who want a rooftop without the queue.
