House cocktails

First night here? Start with one of these four. The rest of the list turns with the season; these stay.

    A Philippine orange, sweet with a sour edge

    Barrel-rested gin, Campari, vermouth steeped with calamansi, a wheel of dalandan dried behind the bar.

    Stirred, on the rocks

  • Takipsilim

    ₱640

The fruit of one's hopes

hi·ra·ya, old Tagalog. The thing you wished for, and then one day had.

We opened on the 30th floor in 2021 with a long bar, a deck facing west and one rule for the list: if a Filipino ingredient can do the job, it gets the job.

So the vermouth is steeped with calamansi, the old fashioned is sweetened with muscovado, and the dalandan for the Negroni is dried behind the bar every afternoon. Every cocktail is stirred, shaken or built to order, in front of you.

The room

A long bar inside, an open deck outside, glass between the two. One evening, from the first pour to the nightcap.

5:20 PM, The long bar

Stools facing the bartenders and the back bar lit from below, before the first guests.

6:10 PM, The rail

Friends at the glass on the west edge, just after the sun has gone down behind Makati. These seats go first.

8:30 PM, The deck

Low sofas and candlelit tables along the glass, full by eight on a Friday.

11:40 PM, Nightcap

The candles are low and the city is still lit. The bar pours until one, and until three on weekends.
