License to Chill at Martinis in the Mandarin Oriental Manila

In bar openings this month ... the new Martinis bar has opened at the Mandarin Oriental Manila in the Philippines. Situated in the Makati area, along with plenty of other nightlife, Martinis seems to be aiming for a pretty upper-class crowd; the General Manager said:

We designed Martinis as a premier bar and meeting place, where customers can listen to light jazz, relax, and enjoy a license to chill

Interior design follows a more or less art deco style and the baby grand piano in the middle is intended to up the sophistication factor. There are plenty of cocktails and of course, in honor of the name, a big variety of martinis--a few interesting sounding ones on the list include ginger martinis, sake martinis, dirty martinis and (the one we really want to try) choco-chilli martinis. Live music starts every night at 7pm and carries on until two in the morning so there are plenty of chances to check out Martinis, before you check out.
