Probably one of my favorite bars in the whole of Manila! When I want to have drinks after work or a…read morenightcap after a late dinner, I will most probably end up at The Bar. Interiors are beautiful and cozy. The leather chairs, central bar, and decor take you to another world where you can enjoy your classic cocktail, scotch, or wine in utter opulence. The staff are always efficient and helpful when serving and suggesting drinks if you are feeling a little adventurous. Try the Negroni 1919 or the Espresso Martini. Good selection of wines too and a decent repertoire of Single Malts (for a price!). Bar chow is available too if you feel like you need more than the refillable snacks they serve you. It's also the perfect place to have an intimate conversation or a casual meeting. Cigar smokers and smokers alike will enjoy the fact that you can smoke here (sorry non-smokers!). Price points are expensive compared to your average bars or speakeasies but you're at The Peninsula after all. The overall feel is nostalgic, classic, and definitely for those who enjoy high quality cocktails and drinks in a place that makes you feel like you're transported to a bar in Cuba with different world music playing in the background.

I'm telling you now, as a young twenty-something going to Eclipse, I felt horribly out of place…read more Or, rather, I felt too young to be there. Most of the patrons were (as is obvious) casino goers looking to celebrate their wins (or to console themselves, down on their luck). And really, the only people what kind of cash to burn in a casino range from late thirties and above. I must have been the only one in my twenties there, apart from my friend when we sat at the bar of Eclipse. It's more of an "entertainment lounge" than actual bar were you could go dance to the the latest music. Seeing as their clientele is... more mature, Eclipse adjusted accordingly, getting acts that perform music from decades past. I guess that's one of Eclipse's redeeming factors: they have live performances every so often, and they're actually very good! (Well if you're into that sort of thing.) Eclipse is more like a big hall with lounge chairs and booths dotting the sides, and when there's a live performance, the middle is cleared out where... your parents can dance to disco hits performed live. The prices are what you'd expect inside a casino: short of actually robbing you of money via slot machines. But the bar is very well stocked! Just don't order anything from their dessert menu. It took more than 45 minutes for my friends lava cake to come! (Well, that's just to be expected, at a bar.)

Z Roof Deck lives up to its name as a solid rooftop bar in Poblacion. While it isn't the highest…read morevantage point in the area, it still offers a great perspective of the neighborhood, with particularly nice views of the illuminated Rockwell buildings and the distant BGC skyline. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe--chill and social. Music starts up later in the evening (around 9 PM, I believe), which helps transition the mood as night falls. We visited fairly early and enjoyed the shift when the music began. However, one interaction notably dampened the experience. A brief, joking conversation with a bouncer took an unexpectedly dark turn. When I lightheartedly asked if anyone had ever tripped on the spiral staircase, he replied, "Only if I throw them off." Joking or not, for someone responsible for patron safety, this felt in poor taste and sounds like he wants to look or sound intimidating. It's a remark that unfortunately sticks with you. And it was of bad taste. Overall, Z Roof Deck has much to offer in terms of views and ambiance, but attention to staff training and customer interaction would elevate it from a good spot to a great one. 2 star from poor choice of words from the security at the roof deck. You want to be funny? Tell a better wholesome joke.

But for the high price, the quality, quantity and services are seriously lacking. They also have strange extra-charges. For example if you ask the left-over food boxed they will charge you a substantial fee for that! We had never seen or heard of such policy anywhere else and they don't inform you of such bizarre fee in advance either! The humidity and pollution don't help this place either. Will not go back and don't recommend it.

One third of the items on the menu weren't available and we weren't told beforehand. The carbonara was terrible. The sliders were great and the truffle fries BUT they forgot to add two orders (only did one) so someone in our group didn't eat. They said it would take 5 min to make the sliders ... it took over 20 min- they showed up as we decided we couldn't wait anymore. The Caesar salad was decent. It was also expensive for what we got. I would not recommend this place. I would think a hotel like the Conrad would have a lounge that represented their name better.

Pretty affordable if you're converting USD to PHP but likely very expensive for locals If you're on a local salary. I've been to actual speakeasies in the US that survived Prohibition era and they don't quite have the same feel--for starters, the building is new, there are no secret doors or hidden basements, there isn't a password or secret code to get in or antique version of the menu, no history about how the place survived when it was illegal to sell and distribute alcohol. Despite not having the culture and history behind it, it is still a very good experience and would highly recommend for the drinks and ambiance.

Went to Black Market last weekend for the first time in ages and man, it still hits different…read more Walked in around midnight, no ridiculous line, just that familiar raw warehouse energy--exposed concrete, dim lights, and the bass already thumping through the floor. The crowd was a perfect mix: locals in hoodies and sneakers, some foreigners vibing, everyone just there to lose themselves in the music. Caught this killer hip-hop/trap set that had the whole place moving without feeling forced or pretentious like a lot of BGC spots. Slipped upstairs to Mao Den for a bit--smaller room, tighter sound, killer cocktails--and it felt like its own little secret world. Left at 4am sweaty, happy, and already planning the next one. If you want real underground Manila nights without the dress code drama, this place is still unbeatable. 5 stars every time.

Black Market is hands down my favorite and go-to club in Manila. It's not your typical kind that…read moreyou mostly find in Manila, the atmosphere here is much more relaxed and you can dress casually. It is an underground industrial warehouse type of club that focuses mainly on underground music. It is where you can usually find independent, up and coming local and international artists playing mostly hip hop, bass and trap music. Most of the time, it's not really for the EDM type. This place also has different areas inside, which offers different ambiances and music scenes too. On the second floor, they have the Mao Den, a room which has its own DJ and bar. Black Market is also the place where I always celebrate "birthday salubongs" and halloween with friends, which were always fun! This is one of the things that I miss back home. Highly recommended!

I've just recently been getting back into the party scene and out of all the bars / clubs I've been to, the two of them are definitely up there on the fave list. With Pangaea I love the interior and the quality service. Also that you'll be pretty laid back most of the time and just drinking with friends, you can dance if you feel like it. Since I've tried going to both in one night, I can't imagine doing it any other way. Definitely the best way to do it!

It's certainly interesting, with scantily clad ladies behind the bar serving up the drinks with ease and an air of confidence that men wouldn't dare attempt to offend or take advantage. There are several couches, available for a minimum spending guarantee, that comes with standard bottle service, which they upped as those who got tables even have a dedicated V.I.P. service managers to ensure you have the best experience possible. There were also ladies going around, dancing on the open spaces and even on the ledges to hype-up the crown and get the party started. Soon after, they were inviting people to dance, which actually worked. Soon after, the dancefloor was full and even those who were still in their respective couches were on their feet and dancing as well.
