Big Fuzz

This bar is easily one of the best speakeasies I've ever gone to in the whole Metro Manila! The drinks were delicious, ambience top notch, and service excellent. While the cocktails are a bit pricier, you truly get bang for your buck— they use the finest ingredients which make the drinks so dangerous! They were SO DELICIOUS! You know they don't skimp on ingredients and spirits. My favorite would be the Mojo's Jojo! So delicate and flavorful that you could down the entire drink in one go because it's just so excellently made. Big Fuzz is now my go to bar in the Metro! A big shout out to Mark who made sure our peanuts were never empty and that our energy was always high (thanks to shots!)

Sticky Fingers: 4/5 Golden Sunset(?): 5/5 What a wonderful cocktail place hidden inside a red door in that shady building near Makati Cinema Square. But gash the drinks were wonderful! The service team should win some awards too. They made sure to ask your name and remembered it all through out the visit, even after they say bye they speak your name! A well deserved Tatler award. Will Come Back?: Yes For sure

Very unassuming from the outside—you’ll need to look for the red door—but once you step in, it’s like entering a secret vintage lounge. The space overlooks Amorsolo street, a usually busy one, yet feels tucked away and insulated from all the noise. Drinks are well-crafted and priced just right at around ₱400–600 per glass. That said, one drink is never enough—each one makes you curious to try the next. It’s the kind of bar where the drinks are genuinely good, but you can still enjoy an actual conversation. A rare balance, and one worth coming back for.

Look for the red door at the second floor on the right side if coming from the elevator. Big Fuzz is a cool spot to hang out at. Ambiance was on point with its low light and great music. Staff explained each drink we ordered, and they often asked if we needed anything.

We stumbled upon this bar by accident after finding out the one we originally planned to visit was closed. A quick Google Maps search led us to Big Fuzz, and fortunately, it did not disappoint. True to its name, it's literally a hidden bar — we had a tough time locating it. Tip: It's on the second floor, right side, behind a red door. The drinks were immaculate. I’m not usually a fan of gin, but I surprisingly enjoyed the gin-based cocktails, especially the ones with pandan flavor. The rum and chai combo was also a standout for me. The vibe of the place is super chill — jazz-inspired, intimate, and perfect for a quiet night out or date night. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient, answering all our questions about the drinks. They even took the time to explain each cocktail as they served them. Special shoutout to CJ for the great drink recommendations and warm service! As a nice bonus, they even gave us a free shot. We'll definitely be coming back.

Vibes we're vibing. The High Violet was a crowd favorite. Though an acquired taste, it's worth to give River Mother a try if like masala chai. Bartenders definitely passed the vibe check too! Will be back to try other drinks.

Amazing cocktails and super knowledgeable bartenders. This needs to be on every visitor to Manila's list! Amazing assortment of cocktails and modern twists on classics!

What an absolute gem. The cocktails served were fantastic; definitely the best I’ve had in Manila!!! The staff were so helpful and knowledgable too. My friend couldn’t drink alcohol so they concocted a mocktail (which they don’t have in the menu) based on what she likes. The setup and vibes are also unbeatable — think rainy afterwork, warm, woody scent, laidback drinking.
