Best Rooftop Bars in Manila
Discover Manila rooftop bars for skyline views, sunset cocktails, pre-club drinks, birthdays and private group reservations in Makati, BGC and beyond.
Manila Rooftop Bars
Manila’s rooftop scene stretches across BGC, Makati and Poblacion, combining luxury hotel sky bars, panoramic cocktail lounges and energetic rooftops that become increasingly lively after dark. For sunset drinks overlooking the skyline, a romantic evening, birthday celebration or the first stop before a Manila nightclub, there is a rooftop for every kind of night.
Manila Tables helps you find the right rooftop and arrange premium reservations for your group. Our concierge team can assist with VIP tables, premium seating, group bookings and complete dinner-to-drinks-to-club itineraries, including continuing your evening with bottle service and a VIP table at one of Manila’s top nightclubs.
Antidote Rooftop Bar
Sitting above I’M Hotel in Makati, Antidote is one of Manila’s most distinctive rooftop experiences. Panoramic views across the city meet cocktails, tapas, DJs, and its famous illuminated jellyfish aquarium, creating a setting that feels especially impressive once Manila lights up at night.
Antidote Rooftop Bar works especially well for VIP groups, birthdays, date nights and late-night cocktails. Its location beside Poblacion also makes it an excellent starting point before moving into Makati’s nightlife scene.
Firefly Roofdeck
Located on the 32nd floor of City Garden Grand Hotel in Makati, Firefly Roofdeck offers panoramic skyline views, cocktails and international and Filipino-inspired food in a relaxed rooftop setting.
Firefly Manila is especially attractive around sunset and works well for couples, groups and pre-party drinks before heading into nearby Poblacion.
The Fun Roof Poblacion
For something completely different, head to The Fun Roof in Poblacion. Rather than a formal luxury hotel rooftop, this is a colourful grown-up playground where drinks and skyline views mix with games, themed seating, music, and an increasingly energetic late-night atmosphere.
The Fun Roof Manila is particularly suited to groups, birthdays and friends looking for a social rooftop before going clubbing. On Friday and Saturday it currently stays open until 4 AM, making it one of the options on this list that can become part of the main night rather than simply the warm-up.
The Peak at Grand Hyatt Manila
High above Bonifacio Global City, The Peak is one of Manila’s most sophisticated elevated nightlife destinations. Part grill restaurant, part whisky bar, speakeasy and music lounge, it combines impressive skyline views with the polished service of Grand Hyatt Manila.
Choose The Peak for romantic evenings, luxury drinks, business entertainment or an elegant start to a VIP night in BGC. Stay for dinner and cocktails or continue into the Music Lounge, where the atmosphere becomes livelier after dark.
O2 Rooftop Bar
Located high above the BGC area, O2 Rooftop Bar offers a contemporary rooftop experience combining panoramic city views, cocktails, food and a sophisticated lounge atmosphere.
It is a strong option for groups looking for premium seating, sunset drinks or an elegant pre-club experience without leaving the BGC nightlife district. Reserve ahead for the best positions when visiting with a larger group or celebrating a special occasion.
