PH Cocktail Week

ABS-CBN Lifestyle

MANILA -- Metro Manila’s bar scene is about to go into overdrive as the first-ever Philippine Cocktail Week kicks off Thursday, February 5, turning neighborhoods across the capital into a four-night crawl of one-night-only collaborations between the country’s top bartenders and some of the world’s best bars. The four-night event, presented by Maya, is bringing together over 50 of the world’s best cocktail bars and the Philippines’ finest across Metro Manila. Each night focuses a different venue, with local bars hosting international guest bartenders for one-night-only collaborations. Guests are encouraged to move at their own pace, bar hop freely and experience each area as it comes alive after dark. No registrations, no tickets required.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1770182845949cocktail.JPG" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div>Below are the dates and venues where you can try signature drinks from visiting bars, many of them ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Bars and The World’s 50 Best Bars.<div>February 5: Bonifacio Global City</div>The Golden Tooth (ID) at Somewhere QuietVirtù (JP) at The AtticReka:Bar (MY) at Southbank Cafe + LoungeEnigma Mansion (VN) at The Back RoomWU (Nothingness) (TW) at No Entry Cocktail ClubBoiler Maker (IN) at LIT Manila <div>February 6: Legazpi and Makati Cinema Square</div>Use Bar (VN) at Big FuzzBar Bon Funk (SG) at The Grasshopper BarMostly Harmless (HK) at From Management Inc.GOD (TH) at The CuratorCMYK (CN) at El GatoThe Cocktail Club (ID) at CatteryPenicillin (HK) at Fat Cat<div>February 7: Poblacion and Jupiter</div>Artifact (HK) at The Spirits LibraryBarc (NP) at Banter and JiveOrigin (SG) at OTOHope &amp; Sesame (CN) at Opal BarCOA (HK) at Problem ChildVesper (TH) at The JuryCraftroom (JP) at The Bar at The Peninsula Manila<div>February 8: Quezon City and San Juan</div>The final day runs in two parts and will start with Sunday Sessions.From 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday Sessions takes place at Corner House in San Juan, bringing together a curated mix of the world’s best bars and the Philippines rising stars in a relaxed open-air setting.Southbank Café + Lounge (MNL) x Opal (MNL)Polilya (MNL) x Southside Parlor (KR)Afterhours (MNL) x Maltail (TW)Last Chance (Siargao) x Night N’ Day (TW)Lost Unicorn (CEB) x Merry Dessert (TW)Hello Sailor (Boracay) x Not Bar (TW)Bar Hometown (Subic) x Reka:Bar (MY)Expect signature drinks, DJ-soundtracked sessions, and off-menu conversations with global industry leaders shaping bar culture today.Unlike the nights, Sunday Sessions is a ticketed event.
