The Curator Coffee & Cocktails

lailalai★★★★★★★★★★2.03 weeks ago

Came here at around 12am on a Sunday night. Place was packed but we were seated right away. Ordered two cocktails for me and my partner, one was their recommended cocktail. The cocktails were so underwhelming, to say the least. The one I had tasted like a sweet Red Horse beer. While I do find it amazing that they can somehow recreate the notes of RH, I didn't come to a bar and pay 700 pesos for a drink tasting like a 70 pesos beer. For my partner, the flavor wheel indicated the drink was "boozy" but didn't felt like it at all. It tasted bitter, yes, but not because of the alcohol content. If there's one saving grace about this place, it's their service. Staff are attentive and friendly. Overall, I definitely won't be back nor will I recommend this place to a friend. Not worth our time and our hard-earned money. 😪

It's an interesting place. I love speakeasies and this place was one of the top list place to visit for speakeasy in Manila. I came with my friend. They serve coffee by the day and cocktail by night which is a cool concept. We arrived slightly early so we ordered non alcoholic drink until they were ready. The menu was so cute and creative! I wanted to order all of it lol they have the story behind all drinks on how it was inspired. I wanted to get something different so I asked for recommendations. I didn't like the first drink so I asked if I can get a different drink and they were nice to exchange the drink. I wasn't charge for that. Great service, location, drinks, and fun idea. Highly recommend!

Still thinking about this delicious black sesame drink I got! I love the menu design and the ambience of this speakeasy is absolutely wonderful. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and the overall vibe of the place was top tier. My cousins and I had a great time here and definitely want to come back again.

Went here for drinks at the insistence of a friend (it was his favorite cocktail bar). It was cocktail week so the whole place was packed to the brim with people. Even when it wasn't cocktail week we tried to get in once it was full. The staff was super friendly and accomodating; even the owner was greeting people. Since it was cocktail week there was a special menu prepaired by a guest bartender. They have a wide selection of cocktails and since I can't drink alcohol due to medical reasons, mocktails. My friends ordered the standard cocktails and the special cocktail week cocktails while I got a mocktail. Our server got us some snacks and water which was nice. The drinks arrived about 1hr kinda understandable since the bar is full and there is an event going on. My friends very much liked the cocktails, especially the guest bartender's cocktails. My mocktail is also good, it's refreshing and its not too sour. The place has a good vibe too bad we couldn't get inside the main room. All in all, its a good place to chill out just make sure that you get there early.

5★ Fantastic vibe and great drinks. The team knows their craft and serves thoughtful cocktails with consistency. Laid-back yet elevated, it’s a spot I’d recommend for good drinks and a relaxed night out. The staff were super friendly, would definitely come back
