Makati, Quezon City, BGC and further down south are the usual options for a night out with an established bar scene. Finally, Greenhills now has a real bar. And a legit one too, with all the right cocktails. Welcome to Arcana Lounge...
The Promenade in Greenhills has been your go-to place for shopping and tasty bites but never really an option for a proper tipple. What it really lacked was a formal bar, and Arcana Lounge is the answer to countless secret wishes and prayers. Now you have a secret spot you can call your own at Promenade. Come on in and have a drink...
A rare gem of a find, the newest bar in Greenhills offers a more intimate, private and even low-key experience recreating a luxurious hotel lounge feel and look setting it apart from the usual and mainly dining options in the commercial area of Greenhills. Forget the hard wood chairs. Inside Arcana Lounge, all the elements exude that bona fide bar vibe from the impressive high ceilings down to the soft and supple leather seats...
...with the main bar anchoring the elegant space. Offering a wide selection of classic cocktails and signature handcrafted creations, Arcana Lounge is your spot for a soothing break from the day's grind. At the bar, Min is your new best friend. Coming all the way from Myanmar and with years of experience, Min whips up your favorite cocktail in no time...
...like a proper Old Fashioned (P 420) with its classic blend of Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Angostura Bitters, orange peel and sugar for a sweet and smoky libation that always hits the spot. Arcana Lounge offers a more refined experience enhancing its formal and subdued character making it the perfect spot for a relaxing tipple. Libations in the afternoon? Cocktails on a slow afternoon are more my thing nowadays, and Arcana Lounge nails it.
In the evenings, Arcana Lounge takes on a different mood complete with DJs while maintaining its mellow and cool character. Me time takes on a whole new different and special meaning at Arcana Lounge, with another refreshing sip easing you back while enjoying the afternoon's calm pace.
In the mood for more classic cocktails? The Whiskey Sour (P 330) by Arcana Lounge also hits the spot with its bright lemon citrus hints complementing the deep notes of whiskey.
Feeling a little more game with something refreshingly different? The Arcana Breeze (P 330) with its duo of Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum and coconut rum, cranberry and pineapple delivers a fruity and tropical flair setting the tone for another laid back day.
The impressive bar selections offer infinite possibilities, and Min will gladly run you through their extensive options to suit your mood. Arcana Lounge also offers exclusive private rooms for intimate gatherings.
Hungry? Arcana Lounge has that covered too...
The menu selection is just as impressive as the bar's offerings. Pair your cocktails with sumptuous bites like the inventive Sisig Rolls (P 455) with savory pork sisig wrapped in thin rice paper served with spiced vinegar and Sriracha mayo for a unique and creative spin on a popular staple.
The Salt & Pepper Calamari (P 395) with crisp and crunchy baby squid draped in a richly seasoned breading served with lemon aioli sauce also pairs well with your afternoon tipple...
...while the grilled Red Pizza (P 375) with bacon, pepperoni and salami on a crisp crust draped with homemade marinara sauce and finished with cheese satisfies any appetite.
Can't go wrong with nachos and the Gourmet Nachos (P 455) at Arcana Lounge will have you going for another crunchy bite. Crisp nachos slathered with slow-cooked chili and fresh pico de gallo drizzled with sour cream and cheese sauce, it's just what you need along with another round of your favorite cocktail.
Arcana Lounge also offers more sumptuous and hearty fare, including pasta, seafood and steaks for an elegant feast at Promenade (you can check their full menu on their FB Page at https://www.facebook.com/ArcanaLounge/).
