The Spirits Library

“Awesome selection of cocktails! Staff are very approachable. Interior is cool, and the place was clean. We went around 8pm to chill and they didn't disappoint. We will go back to experience a different atmosphere it offers.”

“If you are Whisky Lover, this is the place to be in Manila. Good atmosphere and ambience. DJ plays fantastic numbers to suit the mood. Good collection of whiskeys and reasonably priced.”

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. 🥃

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. 😁

First time visiting and it absolutely did not disappoint, even on a Monday night. The vibe was intimate and well curated, perfect for a speakeasy experience. Mario, the bartender, was exceptional attentive, professional, and really made us feel taken care of from start to finish. His service truly elevated the whole experience. It’s easy to see why The Spirit Library is so well known for its cocktails and outstanding hospitality. We’ll definitely be back.

This is a secret hideout that takes deliberate searching. We walked past it the first time and the insulation is so good, the sound doesn't make it out to the street. It's an awesome bar with a 2 story back drop of pure booze. They sometimes have a very good band playing but their house music is also very good jazz. Their printed menu is limited to a bunch of historic cocktails but you can order other drinks.
