MAKATI CITY — Tucked away in an alleyway along B. Valdez Street in Poblacion, a small, unassuming spot has become a legendary destination for cocktail enthusiasts. Run Rabbit Run, or RRR as it's known to its loyal followers, is the kind of place you stumble upon and never want to leave. With its iconic red doors, creative drinks, and a vibe that feels more like a friend's living room than a formal bar, this hidden cocktail haven within the Six Axis Center has been awarded the country's best bar.
A Neighborhood Bar with a Wonderland Vibe
The concept behind Run Rabbit Run is refreshingly simple: a friendly, neighborhood bar that feels like a backyard hangout. Housed in a refurbished 1970s family home, the space retains its original facade and is decorated with furniture sourced from thrift shops, giving it an eccentric yet homey feel. The interiors are designed for comfort, with cozy sofas, plush bar stools, and an outdoor deck that's perfect for a relaxing evening. The music, a mix of hip-hop and indie rock helps create a calm, comfortable atmosphere where you can catch up with friends and unwind.
Award-Winning Cocktails and Creative Flair
Helping guests unwind are Run Rabbit Run's signature cocktails, which are crafted with only the finest ingredients. The menu is playful and inventive, featuring creations like the Jessica Rabbit (a bourbon-based drink with cloves and star anise, served with a smoky dry ice presentation), Chillin' Like a Villain (a refreshing gin cocktail with peach syrup and a mist of the Philippines' national flower), and the adventurous Mr. Truffles. As with any craft cocktail bar, the menu is subject to seasonal changes, though these core signature offerings remain guest favorites. For those looking to take the magic home, the bar also offers cocktail kits like the best-selling Floppy Ears, which can be pre-ordered for delivery.
