Salon de Ning, The Peninsula Manila

Salon de Ning is the art deco lounge inside The Peninsula Manila, styled after 1930s Shanghai across four themed rooms, with live bands on most evenings. The music runs in two sets, an earlier one from around 7:30pm and a later one past midnight, moving between jazz, soul and retro depending on the night. It is one of the more polished spots in Makati for a late drink with music, and it suits anyone who wants atmosphere without a hard sell. Good for an unhurried evening or a date; check the venue's weekly schedule first, as the featured act and genre change night to night.
