If you like to chill in poblacion with great music, food and drinks either coffee or cocktails. You're in a right place. Staffs are super nice. They will explain everything and specially the inspiration of every drink. Highly recommended.

Great venue with a focus on music and authentic crafted cocktails. Some of the drinks are very well executed with a lot of complexity! Bartenders are welcoming, friendly and approachable!

Overly pretentious for its own good. The staff was unwelcoming at the door and they only reluctantly showed us in. My wife and I tried to sit at a small cocktail table, but we were informed that we were not allowed to sit there, as it was for four people. The bar was sparsely populated and the table remained empty as did others for the next hour we were there. The cocktails, the ambiance and the music were great. Even the bartender was very nice. I would have liked to stay longer and even make it a regular place, since I live in the neighborhood, but just the first impression soured much of our experience.

Heard about OTO as this great listening room with signature drinks, from the same people that brought you the Curator. It delivers what it promises though it can get very crowded. The staff will be eager to work hard and give you good service, but it will seem overwhelming to serve 80 customers in a place built to seat 40. Be patient, the bartender service works very fast. However, only giving 4 stars because the noise level will ruin any dream that this is a listening room. You'll have to almost shout to talk to the person in front of you.

Really nice and professionally made cocktails in a nice environment. We went quite early so there weren’t many other people around at the time so not sure whether the place gets busier. Music was good and staff were attentive. We also tried some food which although pricey was very tasty.

Great vibe, groovy music and bartenders are knowledgeable. One of the best cocktail bars in Manila!

Well done whiskey sour. Great ambiance and cool place to bring dates or friends.

Drinks are a bit on the pricier side, but the ambiance, music, taste, and staff more than make up for the price difference. Genuinely one of my go-to spots in Poblacion.

Best Cocktail bar in Makati, delicious original cocktails and friendly team ! Highly recommend

I went here with a group of about 11. Everything I tasted was great. The standard of this bar is the highest I've experienced in Metro Manila. Despite this, it's a very approachable bar.

Go here if you want top-notch music and cocktails.

Went with a friend and we ordered Gin Tonic and a Cuba Libre. Then they came back and said they can't do CL, but wouldn't let me cancel my GT order. So I paid ~460 for a GT I didn't drink and left.

Working here once it opens was such a peaceful and great place to work!! The ambiance and lighting was perfect!!! The furniture was also soooo comfortable.

Are you feeling tired? Well, Penicillin drink is the answer for that. :)

Standard bar for me, nothing fancy. First, they don't sell by the bottle. A large group might be spending more than they ought to. Cocktails are priced a little on the high side. Good for a small group of 2-4 people. Tucked in the alleyways of Poblacion. Great ambience.

Found this little place on google maps, just seeing what's about. Maybe it's just another bar ... until I saw the sound system. If you're a hifi geek, audiophile etc. it's worth checking out. Custom built JBL based horn system playing cool music. The space is also designed to sound good with treatments and such to dampen the room, and balance out the volume. I could have just sat and listened..... I did have a great cocktail too. Going back again tomorrow :-)

Fries: imagine Wendys fries with chilli powder Cocktail - Enrique: imagine drinking a glass of perfume Cocktail - Martini: gin with a splash of juice Music: early to mid 2000s RnB Ambiance: typical Makat miillenial scene

Great place to chill in Poblacion with awesome sets of drinks and signature cocktails

Another nice hidden gem in Poblacion.

Good crowd, good music and good drinks!!!

good service with the best people...

Went here at around 12 midnight on a Friday. Place was packed but luckily we managed to score seats at the bar. Place was super simple and was a bit loud owing to the small space. Menu was pretty straightforward - only a few choices but then you can just request drinks off the menu from their skilled baristas. Ordered a few drinks including my go-to Bramble which was pretty good - didn't skimp on the alcohol. Sad thing was that the kitchen was already closed when we got there so wasn't able to try the food. I did get to score a free shot so thanks. They closed at 1am.

After our delicious meal at Lampara, we went down stairs to get some high quality cocktails. After a couple drinks and a few shots, we were happy. 🥳

Finally got around to visiting Oto. Located in the “quiet” area of Poblacion, Oto is a fantastic location to have cocktails. The night escalated quickly and so I forgot to take more photos. What I do have is a photo of their DJ booth which is probably the prettiest booth in town.

I love the place because of the bartenders!!! I may suggest to fix the lighting as does not give that much bar effect and vibes 😅 Drinks are good too!!!

The place to be. Coffee in the afternoons and great music and drinks for the rest of the night.

Food and drinks are great. Service is great. Prices are high but reasonable for Makati pricing. This can be a nice coffee, dinner, or drinking place

Sipping sublime speakeasy spirits to the rhythm of Ibiza classics - who knew Sundays could be this intoxicating

Didn’t get to try much of the food and drinks at OTO, but going there was a treat. The DJs were so zany and fun, playing tracks that made us wanna get up and dance with them. Definitely the cherry on top for the experience, but maybe don’t sit at the table near the booth if you’re sensitive to noise. The design of the place was very unique, resembling that of hazard tape. Would love to come back and savor everything more.

One of the best places to grab drinks!!!

Good place to hang out with friends. I love the food on the sticks (forgot the exact names) they are very savory. Definitely will recommend!

Location is accessible via private vehicle or cab. The customer service is good. The food is good. The place is okay. It is quite small but cozy. Good for events with 30 to 50 people.

Superb cocktails👍

Best music in pob! Good food and drinks. Really love the vibe

They have a unique approach to coffee and snacks! Staff/Bartenders are very approachable and ambiance is great. Definitely recommend this place and would come back and bring along friends and relatives.

Great drinks and good crowd :)

Always a personal experience. You're bound to bump into someone you know and I mean that in the best way possible.

Great sound, drink lists and atmosphere. I really enjoyed smoked cocktail by peaty whisky.

Awesome crowd. Try out their drinks. Ask the bartenders for their recommendations. Avoid ABC. 😂

Mild mannered Coffee shop by day, cape crusading club by night. Good vibes to be had in this place.

Great staff

Their whisky cocktails are great and I love the atmosphere

Love their cocktails!

Best flat white I’ve tried in the area. Also love the interior design and great music choice! I died when the barista played Suedehede by Morrissey. Talk about timing! I had the place all by myself when I went so the Barista was attentive to me and even after a group arrived. You never feel alone when you’re having a cup of coffee here!

Love the place

The music is what attracted me to this place. Awesome hangout joint with friends.

Chill place. Will definitely go back

Cocktails well done. The space is also relaxed enough and set up such that you can actually hear each other and have conversations. Not like the loud cocktail bars where you can't hear each other.

Steady

Best mixologists in Poblacion

Their Old-Fashioned and ABC shots are the best, we usually drop by here to take a shot of their ABC shot!

The DJ ain't half bad

Totally enjoyed our experience in OTO. The vibe was one of a kind, with great sound system and mixed drinks by the baristas ☺️👌 Will definitely go back.
