Presented by OTO
- When
- Wednesday to Sunday, ongoing through June 2026, Evenings until 1:00am Tue-Thu and Sun, 2:00am Fri-Sat (closed Mon)
- Where
- Ground Floor, Villa Caridad 1, 5883 Enriquez Street, Poblacion, Makati, Metro Manila
- Who it's for
- For people who take sound and a well-made drink seriously; a quiet after-work drink or a full evening on a slow night. It sits on a Poblacion side street in Makati, easy if you are already around Makati or Poblacion, and worth crossing town for a date if you are coming from elsewhere.
- Good to know
- Open Wednesday to Sunday, evenings until 1am Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday, 2am Friday and Saturday, closed Monday. The room seats around forty, so go earlier or expect to wait on busy nights. The selector changes week to week, so check OTO's page for who is playing. Deep Japanese whisky and sake list alongside music-led cocktails.
About this event
OTO is Manila's first proper listening bar, a low-lit room on a Poblacion side street built around a wall of vinyl, a custom audiophile system, and a raised selector booth where the music is the point rather than the backdrop. Resident selectors play Wednesday through Sunday, paired with a deep list of Japanese whisky and sake and a recently rewritten page of fifteen music-inspired cocktails. It seats around forty and turns up on Asia's 50 Best discovery lists, which makes it a dependable late-evening anchor for anyone who takes sound and a well-made drink seriously. Programming changes week to week, so check OTO's page for the night's selector; it works equally well as a quiet after-work drink or a full evening, and it is worth crossing town for a date.
