Turning your tiring day into something unforgettable is quite a challenge in the first place. When all the stress and busy streets, feeling lost would be the best words to describe it.
But, hey! Get your spirit up by enjoying food and drinks plus dance, music, and great people in the metro so don’t stop the quest while you are in the highly urbanized city in Manila!
Here are five of the best and famous bars in Makati area that can give you the most unforgettable nightlife experience!
The Curator
The Curator Coffee and Cocktails is situated in a not-so-famous spot and if you wouldn’t look closely, there’s a big chance that you’ll gonna miss it.
It’s more of a speakeasy combined with a modern cafe style so you’ll probably notice it’s more crowded than some of the cafes nearby.
And yes, this place is a coffee shop during the daytime and turns into a bar at night so it’s really fascinating how the restaurant can switch drink menus yet still able to deliver what is expected from it.

Royal
Known for its upbeat vibe, Club Royal offers nothing but the best cubbing experience you could ever imagine!
The type of music depends on the days and you can try different drinks up to your limit. I also admire how the crowd remained so amiable making it more peaceful for everyone to just enjoy the moment.
The rates depend on what table are you occupying. For each table comes consumable drinks so make sure to get one that can accommodate everyone in the group of you are visiting here with friends or colleagues.

Black Market
Black market is a great spot to party all night! Excellent music selections, cool drinks presentation, the underground feels, and very hype crowd are the reasons why this is one of the bests in Makati.
The bouncers are also very friendly and will assist you all the way. You can go wildly as you can and drink as much as you can without anyone stopping you (unless you act violently towards someone).
The interior resembles an old warehouse, plain and with huge speakers for louder music that serves as the main attention in this club.
Recommended Menu:
Beers, Cocktails, Usual Suspects, Shooters
