Overlooking a strip of bars, Sidebar is a good place for a drink or a snack while you strategize your night. Tables outside are separated from the hustle by a row of sturdy palms.

Cafe Nakpil
A cascade of paper lanterns draws you in from the street to this stylish little Asian bistro. The curries are excellent, with fragrant Thai spices enlivening the atmosphere. Pavement tables are the pick and smooth jazz sets the mood.

Komiks Cafe
Part of a trendy tribe of places that includes the infamous Bed, this cute café lives up to its name with murals of Filipino comic characters leaping from the walls. The food is excellent, especially the house specialty, chicken with mango.

Confusion
Finding this little place tucked into an area of residential high-rises may well have been the name's inspiration. Enjoy a drink at the tables inside or out. There's a short menu of snacks and meals, the most notable of which are the superb cheese sticks, redolent with garlic.

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Part of the chain found throughout town, this is a better choice than the chain whose name rhymes with 'sucks'. It's a smart setting inside and out, and the drinks are many and varied. Good iced tea and free wi-fi.

Caffe Ricco Renzo
Something like a modern-day piano bar, but with pastries and espresso instead of gin and tonic. The real draw, of course, is the building it’s located in: the International Design Center. There’s live jazz on Friday night.

Cafe Havana
Conjure the illusion that you're in Havana just before the city's fall to Castro. You can opt to have an all-Cuban evening starting with Cuba Libre and ending with a Cuban Cohiba Esplendido cigar, with some Arroz a la Cubana in between. It's busy serving local partiers until late and many revitalize with the good fresh fruit drinks.

Museum Cafe
Much more than a simple refuelling stop for museum patrons, the M Cafe, as it’s popularly known, is a magnet for Manila’s chichi class. The trip-hop ambience and exquisite all-white interior make for an especially artistic experience. The menu is heavy on light bites and sandwiches.
