No. 4 in Metro Manila
Fat Cat
Legazpi Village / Pio del Pilar, Makati · Cocktail bar · Live music
Price level 3 of 4

A pocket-sized Japanese-style jazz kissa up the stairs of an old Makati mall, with a vinyl wall and a cult following. The menu runs on tarot's major arcana (The High Priestess, The Tower) plus spot-on classics; it's coffee in the afternoon, cocktails at night. Seats are few — message ahead.
