Long Bar is the lobby bar of Raffles Makati at Ayala Center, styled after the original Long Bar at Raffles Singapore, where the Singapore Sling was created. The house version here is the Makati Luxury Sling, finished with 24-karat gold flakes.

It is the livelier of the hotel's two bars. From Tuesday to Saturday there is live music from 8pm: solo acoustic and solo sets early in the week, a trio on Thursday, and a full band on Friday and Saturday, playing until midnight. Happy hour runs 5pm to 7pm with free-flowing selected drinks and a sampler platter. For something quieter, the Writers Bar is on the same floor.

## Why go

1. Live band on Friday and Saturday nights, 8pm to midnight
2. The Makati Luxury Sling, the hotel's take on the Singapore Sling
3. Free-flow happy hour from 5pm to 7pm
4. An easy walk from Greenbelt and the Ayala Center offices
