The Blind Pig — Restaurant in Makati

Went there last February 10. Waiters will prioritize rich-looking people. We were often overlooked for service, plus they assumed we don't have cash on hand.

Their rules on paper that guests should keep their voices down. There were guests who are talking very loud, and when we asked the waiters if they can ask the other guests to quiet down, they refuse to do so. I guess this isn't a speakeasy bar.

If this bar was in NYC, it would be almost impossible to get into because of the hype. Truly one of the best bars in the whole world. If you only are going to one bar in Manila, make...
