Another speakeasy bar hidden in plain sight, you can find First Chapter behind a large bookshelf. Located in the heart of TTDI, you’ll require a passcode when you enter, which you’ll receive once you make a reservation. Upon entering the premises, there are several sections with studded leather couches and coffee tables for small gatherings, as well as a handful of chairs at the bar. The menu consists of a unique selection of drinks, all inspired by the classics and local cuisines.
A fan of R&B? You won’t wanna miss out on this one. Circa Bar is hidden along a back alley in the bustling Plaza Batai, where you’ll need to go through a ‘hole in the wall’ and take the spiral staircase up. Home to a roster full of cocktails inspired by the seasons, the bar gives off an old Parisian boudoir vibe, creating a welcoming atmosphere thanks to its brick walls and vintage mismatched furniture.
If you love the ’80s and all things funky, you HAVE to visit The Rebel Penguin of Funky Town! You’ll need to make a reservation beforehand as the speakeasy only has 20 seats in its small area. Hidden among an office building’s old dental clinics and travel agencies, the bar transports you back in time with its groovy furnishings reminiscent of ’80s cocktail culture. The menu, however, is especially fascinating.
