Firefly Roofdeck – City Garden Grand Hotel

Firefly Roofdeck sits on the 32nd floor of City Garden Grand Hotel, on the corner of Makati Avenue and Kalayaan Avenue at the edge of Poblacion, Makati's busiest nightlife district. The deck is open on three sides, so the view takes in the towers of the Makati CBD, Rockwell and Mandaluyong, and the hotel's rooftop pool sits alongside for guests.

It is a bar and restaurant in one. The kitchen covers rooftop barbecue, sizzling plates, Filipino favourites such as pinakbet and chicken inasal, pizzas, pastas and bar chow, and the drinks list runs from signature cocktails and local craft beers to wines and spirits. There is live music on select nights.

It opens every day from 7am, starting with breakfast, and stays open until 2am, which makes it an easy late stop after a night out in Poblacion. Smart casual dress is the norm. Call the hotel to book a table at the rail for sunset.
