About

Manila moves fast. One minute you're weaving through bustling streets lined with food stalls and hidden cocktail bars, the next you're watching the city lights from a rooftop with a drink in hand and a whole new crew beside you. From late-night eats to some of the best nightlife in the Philippines, this city rewards travellers who are willing to dive straight in.

The social side starts the moment you arrive. Join The Meet Up every evening at 7pm and turn strangers into your night's crew over half-price beers. Come alone, leave together. Join our legendary pub crawls every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, meet new people at Sunday Karaoke, or head upstairs for DJ Nights every Friday and Saturday. Our rooftop SkyBar brings together travellers and locals alike, creating the kind of atmosphere where one drink easily turns into a full night out. Downstairs, our games area, sports screenings, and chill spaces keep the good times rolling long before the rooftop comes alive.

Use Mad Monkey Manila as your base for discovering the capital beyond the guidebooks. Join our daily walking tour through Poblacion, uncover local food spots, hidden bars, and neighbourhood stories, then spend the rest of your time exploring Manila's markets, museums, shopping districts, and nightlife scene. Our team can point you in the right direction and help you make the most of your stay.

Step outside and you're right in the heart of Makati, surrounded by rooftop bars, live music venues, cafes, restaurants, and some of Manila's best nightlife. When the city finally slows down, head back to our air-conditioned dorms and private rooms, complete with privacy curtains for a little personal space before the next adventure begins. Remember if you book directly, you get additional free nights and loyalty perks.

WHY MAD MONKEY?
Because big cities are always better with people to experience them with. Start with a rooftop drink, end up somewhere completely unexpected, and leave Manila with stories that definitely weren't part of the original plan.

Jay is absolutely stunning, but also terrible. He made my whole Manila trip so fun, and bruh, you need to meet this guy if you’re in Manila. Don’t go anywhere else in Manila but here, they have all the package. Definitely would stay again here.
