LIT Manila

I’ve always been curious what’s inside this quaint bar tucked in a small corner in Serendra Mall.. The interiors were really cozy and vibe-y. i ordered a mocktail (Jamu Ginger Hi) - very refreshing! My friends were impressed with the variety and different types of whisky choices 🥃

Such a cool little bar in BGC! Came here late Thursday evening for a quick drink with a couple of friends. The outlet is pretty small, with a few bar stools and some outdoor seating. The lighting is ambient and their collection of liquors is intriguing. They specialise in a lot of Japanese whiskeys and the bartenders are creative and interactive. We ordered a Manila Old Fashioned, a Kinse Pinalito and a Hitachino Dai Dai beer. They infused interesting elements such as pineapple, cardamom etc. in their cocktails. Recommended place!

One of my Go-To Drinking place in BGC and I could say, Manila. A good vibe, similar to what experienced before in Japan from its Japanese owner. Good and Variety of Whiskey labels, many are rare and special. You can choose to have an alternative cocktails or a good Gin here. The Bartender is well trained, knowledgeable and no force for you to empty the glass and spend more, with its polite and friendly Filipino balanced with leaving you to enjoy yourself. Not bad for a snack, food and dessert. There is a vinyl on the DJ table for some nights, and they play a good music.

Worth a visit. Had such a chill experience with my buddies. Ambiance is relaxed and perfect for unwinding and hanging out with friends. The bar itself has a great selection of spirits, and they all know their stuff(definitely what sets this place apart) If you didn’t know what drink you’re looking for, feel free to ask for suggestions from the bartenders–they would know best what pairs with the mood. Definitely check my boi out, Renz. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Lit Manila: A Sensory Fusion of Japanese Spirits and Rhythmic Vibes. Minimal-elegant bar with cosy ambiance focusing on Japanese whiskies and international spirits. Loved the energy, thanks to the skilled bar tenders and host, live-mixing his vinyl. The bar stimulated all of my senses, and created an unforgettable experience meeting old friends in a private home atmosphere. Loved it and will come again and try the food.
