Philippine Cocktail Week (PHCW), presented by Maya Black, is set to make history with its most ambitious and globally renowned lineup ever. From February 5 to 8, 2026, Manila will host the largest gathering of internationally celebrated cocktail bars ever held in the Philippines, bringing together 28 of the world’s best bars with 28 of the city’s finest local establishments for an unforgettable four-night experience.
Unlike traditional cocktail festivals confined to a single venue, Philippine Cocktail Week is designed as a citywide celebration that spans across BGC, Legazpi Village and Makati Cinema Square, Poblacion and Jupiter, and Quezon City and San Juan. Each neighborhood will showcase its own unique set of collaborations, allowing cocktail enthusiasts to experience the best of both global and local talent.
“This marks the first time Manila will host such a monumental gathering of international bar talent alongside our own renowned local bars,” said a representative from Philippine Cocktail Week. “We are entering a new era in Filipino hospitality—one where the city opens its doors with confidence, generosity, and a deep sense of identity.”
Exclusive One-Night-Only Collaborations
Over four nights, some of the most prestigious global bars will collaborate with local hotspots to create exclusive one-night-only experiences. Each pairing will blend global expertise with Filipino hospitality, offering attendees a unique taste of what happens when international bar culture meets local flavors.
The international lineup includes some of the world’s most highly awarded bars, many of which consistently feature on The World’s 50 Best Bars and Asia’s 50 Best Bars. Among the distinguished names are COA (Hong Kong), Vesper (Bangkok), Bar Us (Bangkok), Zest (Seoul), Virtù (Tokyo), Hope & Sesame (Guangzhou), and Dry Wave Cocktail Studio (Bangkok)—each with decades of recognition and influence in the cocktail scene.
