GotSoul MNL is a hi-fi listening bar on Forbestown Road in BGC, opened in early 2026 by Filipino-Canadian DJ Jojo Flores, founder of GotSoul Records, with chef Chele Gonzalez and venture partner Manolet Dario. A vintage Altec Lansing A5 horn setup and a modern quadraphonic rig flank the record wall and DJ booth. Tatler Asia lists it in Tatler Best 2026. The kitchen is Spanish and Filipino tapas: kingfish tostada ₱290, octopus croquetas ₱350, chicken inasal paella from ₱390, cocktails ₱400 to ₱450. Doors open at 11am, so lunch and coffee work, but the evening is the point, when selectors play jazz, soul, disco and house. Wednesday is live jazz. Book through OpenTable.
