Mandalay

Mandalay is the same as Narnia -- not only because of the entrance, but also by virtue of its magical properties.Get ready to be sent back in time with the classic 20's feel -- from the architecture to the leather seats. Great music fills the air as you try to make your way in the darkness. You find the bar, which is the perfect place to sit as you enjoy the double shot of Kavalan you start the night off with. Every now and then, you're enveloped in smoke -- but you don't fret... the vibe is so chill, you really don't mind.Watch and listen all of the wise and learned people talk about business, politics, and women.More experiential than anything else. Super plus points: they carry rare blends.

Literally got lost trying to find the hidden door. The speakeasy bar's interior design will make you feel like you've been transported to a different era. Very cozy place and best selection of single malt and blended whiskey. The food is exceptional. We had the 800g, 15 day aged steak that was really pack full of flavor. Whiskey lovers will surely fall in love with this bar.

The place is attached to Belle and Dragon. It is accessible through a cupboard door which is amusing and gives it its Narnia nickname. The place is remarkable for it decor and atmosphere That reminds an English Club. Or what I guess this is like. Two big stone chinese lions welcome you to the place it is impressive. The food available is from from Belle and Dragon but this is obviously a place to drink ... and to smokem If you are disturbed by cigaret or even cigar smoke it is not a place for you. Prices are quite high. They charge 1100 php for a 75cl spanish beer quite untemarkable except for its format. I should have asked for the price. Be smarter than me...

We were first seating next door and then decided to go for a smoke. Got lost in Belle & Dragon restrooms corridor, until someone opened the closet door and we discovered this speakeasy place...staff is friendly, wide variety of whiskeys available (isn't it why you're there for?), we had two flights and whisky sours (really tasty), you don't feel the cigarette smoke, music is not too loud, and you can come casually dressed, no need to go too fancy. Decoration is really nice - Prices are obviously not cheap but you get what you pay for. A great experience overall.

Whenever I come to this speakeasy, I make it a point to try out a whisky I have not tasted before. Their collection will definitely not disappoint. It is also one of the few places where you can smoke at your table. Their crew has great peripheral vision so you're not constantly trying to flag down someone for your order or request.

Single Malts at this place is always good. The ambiance is quite conducive to a shot of your favorite spirits and for a quiet conversation. The food was okay. The service was excellent.My suggestion would be to hang out at the Belle and The Dragon for dinner and a couple of drink. Hang out at Mandalay to wind down.

Very nice ambiance, nice choice of drinks(Mandalay’s favorite), clean bathroom and most importantly the smoking area! Free to smoke to your heart’s content(or should I say lungs) high recommended place for whiskey connoisseurs 👍

At the back of The Belle and Dragon, you see a wooden closet door. Open the closet, go thru the door and find yourself in Mandalay Whisky and Bar. Dim lighting and a wide selection of Whisky can never go wrong.  Get transported to a different time with the lounge music, low lights, and leather seating. Find what you like, smoke a cigarette and unwind. The place is perfect for it, intimate conversations, and a place to get close. It's one of my favorite whisky bars. You can even order from The Belle and dragon while on your stay here.

Its about the journey to this bar that's the best part. You weave your way around a cheesy ex-pat pub that's blaring top 40 music and is filled with the young generation until you find that cupboard. Just like Narnia, you open the doors, move the coats to the side and step into the world of Mandalay, an amazing and smokey whisky and cigar bar that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.They have an amazing selection of whiskys and a good range of cigars (on paper) they makes you sigh "ahhhh". However most of our choices were not available....Besides that its an amazing place! Skip the food as it's a bit average but come for the whisky!

Laphroaig Whisky Sour from Mandalay has to be my favourite drink in Manila. Tend to find myself here towards the end of the evening, when a cigar also seems a good idea! Of which they have a decent enough range.
