The Attic is a small cocktail bar behind a shelf inside Soju Express, the liquor shop at the foot of Park West Residences in Uptown. Niño Cardenas and partners Christelle Cardenas and Shellie Tannagan began Soju Express in an Antipolo garage in 2020, moved it to Katipunan, then built the bar into the BGC shop. Tatler named it one of its Best bars for 2026.

The room is a short bar counter, a communal table and armchairs under a pitched timber ceiling. The menu, My Life in Eight Cocktails, is an illustrated storybook you can buy, and signatures such as the Mais con Highball cost ₱550. No food, though you may bring your own bar snacks. Book through Instagram.
