The Spirits Library


A well-loved establishment frequented for its seriously good cocktails and playful music programming, The Spirits Library stands out in both quality and character in one of Metro Manila’s busiest nightlife districts
The brainchild of visionary Lee Watson, The Spirits Library houses one of Asia’s most extensive collections of rare bottles, vintage glassware, historic bar books, and curious antiques. Within this refined, conversation- driven atmosphere, every encounter feels personal and meaningful. Working closely with senior general manager Ralph Santos, Watson has crafted a menu drawing inspiration from Charles Baker's 1939 travelogue The Gentleman’s Companion, reimagining historic drinks through modern techniques.
