Alibi Makes the List: Tatler’s Best Recommended Bar of 2025

Not all secrets stay secret forever. Some get noticed. 

This year, Tatler Philippines named Alibi Lounge • Bar as one of its Best Recommended Bars of 2025. And if you've been here before, you know exactly why. Hidden in plain sight, Alibi doesn’t scream for attention. It draws you in. Quietly. Confidently. 

You don’t come here for just a drink. You come for the tease of smoke rising from your glass. For cocktails that taste like a dare. For the low light, the slow music, and the kind of service that knows when to disappear. Maybe it’s the smooth finish of one of nearly 100 gins lining the bar. Or maybe it’s the fact that Alibi is the only hidden bar of its kind in the South—exclusive but never pretentious, dramatic but never overdone. 

Behind the bar, it’s more than just mixology; it’s craft. Every pour, every garnish, every flame is handled by a team of passionate bartenders who don’t just know their spirits; they live the story each drink tells. It’s precision with a pulse. Dedication with a twist.  

It’s not your average night out. It’s the mood. A whisper across the bar. A glance that lingers a little longer than it should. So, if you’ve been waiting for a reason to slip behind the curtain and see what the fuss is about, this is it. Alibi made the list and you’re officially in on the secret. 

Welcome to the bar they don’t just talk about, they remember. Visit Alibi Lounge • Bar on the Ground Floor of Entrata Urban Complex, Civic Drive, Filinvest City, Alabang. Don’t forget to tag @alibiloungemla on your next visit... you might just see your moment featured next.
