The Spirits Library

“A great choice if you're coming with your date or a friend to catch up with a drink. I find it to have a unique ambiance among the bars in poblacion with its interesting interiors showing their collection of "spirits" that goes with good music that vibes well. Good plus for me that the lady bartender assisted us in selecting a drink and taught us how to drink it as well. 😁”

“Me and my friends went here for cocktail week and the place is jam packed. While waiting in line we were offered free drinks, which was cool. Inside you can either stand or sit (rare). The energy inside is very loud and electric but not too much to overwhelm you. The guest bartender was having the time of her life preparing everone's drinks. The DJ was very cool and very skilled. My friends ordered the special cocktails from the cocktail week while I ordered the mocktail. The cocktails arrived 40mins later since it was so full, my mocktail came a bit later. My friends enjoyed the cocktails, said it was good. My mocktail was a grapefruit juice soda thing; they said it was made in house - tastes like it. Overall, if you want to jam out to DJ music with friends over nice cocktails this is a pretty good place to be.”

“Absolutely loved the place! A true speakeasy that takes you to a whole different world. The setting is perfect - intimate and right by the bar, so you get to interact directly with the staff, who are super nice. The lighting and ambiance really make you feel like you’ve been teleported. They had live music, which enhanced the experience. The drinks were excellent, with the menu being a highlight as every drink had a story behind it. Highly recommend this place!”

“This place is a hidden gem in Makati. They’ve done an incredible job transforming an old house into a classic-style pub. The design that nostalgic, homey feel but with a sophisticated, moody ambiance. The music is always on point—loud enough to set the mood but quiet enough to actually talk to the people you’re with. The crowd is always respectful and calm, which makes for a really refreshing night out. If you’re looking for good drinks and great vibes without the typical rowdy club scene, this is the spot. 🥃”

“This place was absolutely incredible. From the moment you walk in you are immersed in a dimly lit and sexy atmosphere. The name is apt as this bar has the most extensive collection of spirits I’ve ever seen. I’ve had cocktails in 40+ countries and I’m a bar owner myself and I’ve got to say this might be the best bar I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, the drinks were perfect, the value proposition was spot on. If you’ve never been there I would recommend a Wednesday night, they have live music and it was electric in there all night. I can’t say enough about how extraordinary this joint is. I’ll definitely see you guys again before I leave! PS. I’m a terrible photographer but I did get a few shots!”
