Tabacalera, Makati

Photo of the Alpha Entrance
For cigar and scotch aficionados, visit Tabacalera on the 6th floor of the Alphaland building in Makati. The ambience is that of a hotel bar minus the exorbitant prices. For non-scotch drinkers like me, the Alpha, located right beside the place, offers local beer, cocktails and wine on their menu.






Recently checked out the place and had this:

A dry martini with three olives (drool). Great tasting (has become a fave) and reasonably priced at only P165.

Tabacalera and Alpha are located on the 6th floor of the Alphaland Southgate Mall, 2258 Pasong Tamo Ext., corner EDSA, Makati City. Contact numbers: +632 310 5201 or +632 310 5614
