Your search for the official drink of Makati ends in Gambrinus, a casual spot in view of the pool and garden. The WOW Makati Cocktail, made with tropical Philippine Island juices, world-famous San Miguel beer and crushed ice, tops a long list of refreshing drinks and snacks served all day. Locals and guests crowd the bar in the evenings to hear Manila’s most famous divas sing with a piano accompaniment.

With a Spanish name meaning “sun and shade”, Sol y Sombra provides perfect conditions all year round for enjoying drinks, snacks and light meals alfresco. Savoury barbecue dishes and refreshing cocktails are served from mid-morning until late afternoon in Manila’s bright sunshine, in the cool shade of the poolside garden or under the restaurant’s partial covering.
