Accessed via a discreet entrance, the space feels like a secret retreat with its dark, moody interiors, plush velvet seating, and ambient lighting. The bar specializes in inventive cocktails that blend local Filipino flavors with classic techniques, such as the 'Sampaguita Sour' infused with jasmine, or the 'Ube Old Fashioned' made with purple yam syrup. A curated playlist of indie and electronic music sets a sophisticated yet relaxed tone.
