The Curator Coffee & Cocktails

A specialty coffee shop by day, with a small door at the back that opens into one of the most respected cocktail rooms in the country. David Ong's bar has been a fixture on Asia's 50 Best Bars for years and is the reference point against which other Manila bars are measured. The room is dim, low and serious about its drinks.

Why go

  • ·The most consistently awarded cocktail bar in the Philippines
