About this spot
The Spirits Library is Poblacion's moody, old-gentlemen's-club cocktail bar, now on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026 (No. 98) and a Tatler Best pick. Floor-to-ceiling wooden cabinets hold one of Asia's biggest collections of rare and vintage bottles, old bar books, and antique glassware. The menu takes inspiration from Charles Baker's 1939 "The Gentleman's Companion," reworked with modern technique; try the Librarian's Julep or Cavinti Fizz. Live blues or jazz on Wednesdays, vinyl DJ sets on weekends. Sobrang ganda for a classy date or a slow drinks night.
