Fat Cat

$ $ $ $   |   Makati, Philippines

A small, unassuming cocktail bar where self-taught bartender Ronald Cruz has won over a trove of regulars with his warm hospitality and seriously impressive drinks

 

Fat Cat channels the soul of a Japanese jazz kissaten, offering a vinyl-spinning sanctuary that feels like home. Beverage director and co-founder Ronald Cruz curates a thoughtful programme rooted in clarity and simplicity. The latest menu, launched last year, is inspired by the major arcana of tarot cards. Step into this unpretentious, intimate space where music, conversation, and earnest hospitality take centre stage.
