A barbershop and bar combo. Great service from the barbers. I go here every 2 weeks to get my haircut. Also great hangout place. Some of the best cocktails in the metro. Definitely one of Makati's hidden gems.
Probably one of my most favorite places to drink in the metro. This place made me love Gin!
It also helps that the ambiance and the whole interior of the place create a space for good conversations and even productivity! Their staff is amazing as well as their very talented bartender--- he knows what drink fits you right. Giving this a 5/5!

As soon as you walk in, you can't help but excited by the whimsical interiors, throwback music, and most importantly, a bar filled to the brim with over 50 gin brands. As much as I love Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray, being able to explore numerous other gins and tonics with the guidance of master bartender Tam Tavera is an experience you can't get anywhere else in Manila. I personally prefer sticking to the classic cocktails such as Gin Tonics, Gimlets, and Negronis. However, their signature cocktails are delicious too, with the Bramble, Dr. Silvius, and Madame Geneva standing out in particular. They even have a fantastic Friday promotion where you can get a Bramble and Dr. Silvius for just 500 pesos. They don't serve food, but that is no problem as there is a delicious sandwich shop next door which can bring your food into The Bonbon Club.
Overall, the Bonbon Club is a really great break from your usual bars, but be prepared to spend a bit as the drinks don't come cheap. You get what you pay for though, with top quality bartenders expertly shaking, stirring, and muddling nothing but the best ingredients, producing top-notch drinks.

A genuine gin bar in Manila, finally! A small, quaint bar with stylishly mismatched furniture and a lot of tchotchkes on the walls. A collection of over 50 gin brands means you've got to keep coming here.
For our opening round, my partner got the Woman's Friend club cocktail - with lime juice, Strawberry syrup and gin - while I decided to splurge on a G&T with Monkey 47 gin and Fevertree Tonic. Some sources say Monkey 47 is the most expensive gin in the world. I paid Php 413 for my shot and it tasted great. Womans Friend was good too, somewhat too sweet.
For our next rounds, we stuck to classic cocktails with Bombay Sapphire. We had Gimlet, Tom Collins, French 75 (with champagne and lemon juice) and Bramble (creme de mure, lemon juice). All were good, with the Gimlet reviving old memories! Our top picks are Bramble for the gals and G&T or Gimlet for the guys.
Bonbon doesn't serve food. Just some chips which they replace as needed. You can order Cubano sandwiches though from Pepi Cubano next door.
Very friendly service. A must-try!
If you're looking for a dark, musky bar with creepy perverts and women of questionable repute, this is NOT the place for you. The Bonbon Club is for those looking for a stellar selection of gin (some wine and beers, too) to imbibe with good company and some conversation. The place SMELLS good, is bright enough to showcase clean floors and cool interiors, and has the warm, welcoming vibe of your cool Tita's lanai. The mixologists were really nice and accommodating, the cocktails were on point- not too strong but not too sweet, either. They don't serve food, but next door is a really good cubano place that can deliver sandwiches to the bar. Can't wait to go back.
Bartenders with labcoats, gin collection of 50 different varieties nice sandwich shop on the side and a monday night. An escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, where you can unwind and enjoy the herby and strong drinks of the gin. Small place for a crowd of prolly 15-20 at most, another speakeasy that serves their signature gin-tonic. No food here just a casual bar, but you can place an order there for a sandwich from Pepi cubano. Drinks list is compiled in a big wood covered book with the variety of gins, cocktails and other liquor. Maybe should have invested more on furniture and space, great staff and amazing bartender (legit fruit puree; maybe add some garnishing?!). Overall great after work hangout with some buds , and Truly to be called as a "Gin-Joint"
