The Blind Pig

“Very quiet and dimly lit place, vibe was suoer chill. Drinks were okay, they also serve non-alcoholic ones. We ordered some food, but it wasn't registered the first time. Upon following up, it came within 10 mins. English rolls were nice, but a bit small given the price.”

“Great atmosphere with a strong bar program. The cocktails were well made, the music and energy were on point, and the team knew what they were doing. A solid spot for quality drinks and a good night out. Would happily return.”

Visited in Jan 2026 The entrance to this place is sort of inconspicuous. You knock on the metal door with the Braille sign and they will let you in. The interior is quite dark and the whole place gives off a cool hidden speakeasy vibe. The cocktail menu is short and simple (10 cocktails in all). Ended up trying 5 cocktails and thought that the drinks were decent. The Wry Grin was my favourite among the cocktails I tried. Service was nice and friendly. Overall, this is a good bar and if you’re in Makati, it is worth dropping by this place.

Coolest bar I’ve ever been in not easy to find but once you do you’ll be glad you did. I got bartenders special which is where they ask you questions and make a cocktail to your preferences they nailed mine and made my new favourite so definitely recommend giving it a try. Bit more expensive than most but still super cheap considering the quality of the service and drinks. Would definitely recommend

A speakeasy bar in Makati. The entrance looks like a backdoor of an apartment, so it’s hiding in plain sight. The braille signage is appreciated. The vibe inside is low voices and low lights. You can barely see a thing in there, and that’s half the point. The drinks are surprisingly great but personally very pricey, although I do appreciate that there’s a “bartender’s choice”. The staff were notably accommodating and engaging. The whole experience came across as a “you have to try this before you die”. You gotta make a reservation before going, I forgot to ask if walk-ins are accepted.

I loved my time spent at the Blind Pig and will absolutely drop in next time I pass through Manila. It is a classic speak easy bar, such a relaxed quiet atmosphere and a great back bar to work with if you like classics. The bartender was incredibly friendly and was a pleasure to chat to, and the drinks he made were equally great. Thank you for a nice end to my time in the Philippines and I look forward to dropping in again sometime.

Near perfect speakeasy. Great house cocktails, custom virgin cocktails for the non-alcoholics, hidden entry (only aware from reviewers), small and intimate. JV (one of the bartenders) provided excellent service, with a custom virgin cocktail and 2 house specials: Bramble (the purple one from photos), and a Tog and Jerry (to help with throat issues). Only complaint is there was some shuffling from a kitchen? and if you’re near that or the toilets, they are high traffic and can ruin your immersion. Get seats near the bar.

This place has such a chill vibe, perfect for winding down. I never feel awkward going solo, which is a huge plus for me. The bartenders are always friendly and make you feel welcome. Fel the bartender is seriously the best part of my stays here. Her drinks are always on point, and they're super friendly. It's definitely become my go-to spot. Highly recommend checking this out!
