ReCraft moved from Broadway in New Manila to a black house on Scout Tobias in 2024, and in 2026 Tatler named it Best Innovation bar in the Philippines. Beverage director Cedric Mendoza runs a menu that riffs on the classics and keeps changing. Ask for the bespoke card and tell them what you like; on No Menu Mondays that is the only way to order. Upstairs, the Nikka Room is a 12-seat whisky bar with its own menu.
