Problem Child opened in September 2025 and in July 2026 entered Asia's 50 Best Bars at No. 44, the highest ranked bar in the Philippines. Kevin Corales, Wendy Esteban and Patrick Leyble Jr run it, and Tatler named it Best New Bar for 2026. There is no traditional back bar. A wall of light sets the colour of the room, and the drinks menu changes with it every three months. The kitchen does siomai and birria tacos. Open Monday to Saturday, 6pm to 2am, walk-ins welcome. The entrance is unmarked at the back of a car park on Jupiter Street, so look for the lit logo. It gets loud later, with DJs, so come early on a weeknight.
