Bank Bar

Nestled behind a nondescript 7‑Eleven at RCBC Savings Bank Corporate Center, Bank Bar redefines underground luxury in Bonifacio Global City. This speakeasy—only accessible through a hidden door inside the convenience store—transports you into a moody, industrial-chic sanctuary where arched mirrors line a sprawling bar backed by walls of rare spirits. Operated by The Moment Group (also behind Manila stalwarts like Abba Napa), Bank Bar has garnered accolades for having the widest spirits selection in the city, including absinthe, sake, grappa, vermouth—and innovative craft cocktails made with small-batch liquors and native ingredients. Highlights from the menu include the potent Due Diligence, a goat horseradish-infused strong drink, and the refreshing Queen’s Park Swizzle—a mint-lime-grapefruit libation sweetened with muscovado syrup. Happy hour on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (5–7:30 pm) offers cocktails, mocktails, and beers at discounted prices for early arrivals. Bank Bar’s ambiance is intimate and calm on weekdays, but the vibe amps up on weekends when both floors pack with guests—though savvy patrons can seek refuge upstairs in a VIP section. With dim lighting, plush lounge seating, projections on the walls, and hushed vault-like acoustics, the atmosphere evokes exclusive private banking lounges—befitting its name. As one of Manila's first hidden cocktail dens, Bank Bar was even named “One of the Most Intriguing Speakeasies in the World” by CNN. It remains a must-visit for aficionados seeking curated cocktails, rare spirits, and a true speakeasy experience in a city of distractions.
