The Curator
Legazpi Village · Cocktail bar
Coffee by day, top-tier speakeasy by night. Creative cocktails with stories behind each.
The Scene
Coffee in the morning, cocktail bar at night, same room. The Curator sits in Legazpi Village and it's one of the first places people name when speakeasies come up in Manila. Small, dim, no fuss about it.
Every drink has a story behind it and the bartenders will tell you if you ask. Get the Pandesal, which tastes like tiramisu, or the Midnight Self. Ericka can build you something custom. Cocktails around P450, beer P270.
Office people from the Makati towers after work, couples, and cocktail nerds. Open till 1AM Mon to Sat, and it closes early on Sunday.
