7 happy hour deals in Manila for every day of the week

From dirt-cheap mixes that pack a strong punch to hot deals at five-star hotels that will make you feel luxurious, look no further than this list before your next drinking binge.  
 

Sunday: Long Bar

The original Long Bar in Raffles Singapore is famous for inventing that country’s iconic drink, the Singapore Sling. This outpost in Makati is down in our books for its daily value-for-money happy hour, which unlike most bars, serves top-notch pours. Every day from 5pm-8pm, for PHP695 per person, you get a free-flow of selected cocktails (such as the signature Singapore Sling which is already priced at PHP395 a la carte), red and white wines, house pours, and beers such as San Miguel, Stella Artois, Tiger, and Corona. In addition to that, you’ll get a daily assortment of bar food to line your stomach with.
Come here for: Weekend freeflow of cocktails and beers for PHP695
Find it: G/F Raffles Makati, 1 Raffles Drive cor Makati Ave, Makati City; +63 2 5559888, www.raffles.com
 

Monday: Motorino Pizza

Available all day at New York City pizza joint, Motorino, is unlimited red and white Italian wine for a mere PHP395 per person. In a place where their wines by the glass start at PHP195, it’s not a bad deal, especially when paired with their fantastic world-famous crusty pizzas such as the Colatura di Alici (PHP695) which comes with fior di latte, white anchovies, cherry tomatoes, and chili flakes. There’s no time limit on this one, so we’ll be first in and last out!

Tuesday: Hooch

You can go twice as hard for your buck at Hooch as they offer their cocktails and beers at 50 per cent off from 12pm-6pm on weekdays and from 2pm-5pm on weekends. We love their classic cocktails, such as the gin and lemon-infused Clover Club (PHP340) and the Last Word (PHP400) which is with gin and Green Charteuse. But make sure to tickle your palate with their in-house creations such as the spiced Cinnamon Jack (PHP320) and the refreshing Aloha Tom (PHP275).
