Best Bars and Clubs In Poblacion, Makati [2024]

How to get to poblacion makati

Poblacion is a large area, but it can be covered still by walking. There are many bars in poblacion but I suggest starting at Z-hostel for buy 1 get 1 drinks, in their hidden rooftop patio. 

This is a known expat meetup point and easy way to make some friends. After you are starting to feel the buzz checkout another bar like sanctuary poblacion, before heading out to a club.

Are you staying near SM Manila and want to know how to go from SM Manila to Poblacion Makati?

The best way to get to makati from SM Manila is to take a Grab Taxi, or Joyride or Angkas.

Where to party in poblacion after 2 am.

The best late night clubs in pobla are Royal and Neon Lights. If you have a large group, buying a bottle may be the best way to. Royal is more upscale with a young crowd, table culture, and more vegas style shows and entertainment.  While NeonLights is more diverse and has a larger dance floor and games like beerpong and billiards.
