This Poblacion favourite blends music and innovative drinks, featuring a curated vinyl collection and unique cocktails

 

Oto is a sensory haven where impeccable music and distinctive flavours converge. Named after the Japanese word for “sound,” this bar boasts an extensive vinyl collection and restored 1970s JBL speakers, which are displayed front and centre as Oto’s main attraction, second only to their playful and innovative drinks. By day, the popular watering hole serves speciality coffee. By night, playful drinks with savoury twists like truffle and mustard steal the show.

Tatler Tip 

Visit during the quieter daytime hours to explore the vinyl collection— bartenders might even let you request a track.
