Ready to go bar-hopping? Catch these Filipino bartenders who are currently helming bars all over the world in the country’s first ever three-day Cocktail Festival from 12 to 14 September.
Bartenders are stars not just in making cocktails but also great conversations on nights when your heart and mind carry heavy weight or when you just want to unwind after a long, busy day.
Mark your calendars because the Philippines' very first Cocktail Festival is here! The three-night celebration that will take place from 12 to 14 September in some of Manila’s iconic bars aims to highlight and recognise the Filipino cocktail scene and the tight-knit, fun-loving bartender community behind it.
The festival features the trailblazers who have raised the country’s flag in the global bartending scene. Bringing their knowledge and skills in creating extraordinary cocktails, several mixologists are coming home and joining forces with local icons to make what might be your next go-to cocktail.
Whether you’re just looking for a nice little buzz or looking to drink the night away, you might not want to miss this festival. Cocktail enthusiasts can attend any of the 18 guest shifts being held across well-known bars in Makati CBD, Poblacion, and Bonifacio, sign up for a bar tour, or complete the experience with a cocktail passport to redeem exclusive Manila Cocktail Festival merchandise.
