Manila's defining listening bar, open since the late 2010s on a quiet Poblacion corner. A horn-loaded audiophile rig faces a floor-to-ceiling wall of vinyl, with the selector booth raised half a step above a small room of around forty seats. The cocktail list stays tight so the music and the spirits library carry the night.

## Why go

1. The most serious sound system in the city, built for actual listening
2. A wall of vinyl and a rotating cast of visiting Tokyo selectors
3. Long-listed on Asia's 50 Best Bars; the room everyone copies
