OTO Information

Opened in January 2017, it is now warming up in Poblacion, Makati, a young thriving neighborhood previously known for its “Red Light District.” Today, they boast of a microbrewery, a tequila bar, a taco joint, a Filipino yakitori house, Korean restaurants, etc. This could be the very poor man’s Lan Kwai Fong of Manila where you have people jumping from one place to another. “Oto” means “Sound” in Japanese. “Ototo” means “Little Brother.” It is a serious Listening Room equipped with Turntables (4), Tube Amplifiers (2), Digital Amplifiers (2), Speakers (2 Sets) and a plethora of Vinyl Records. Thus, “OTO.” However, one cannot charge for music and so the Food and Beverage Programs. Specialty Coffee is served during the day, Craft Cocktails by night... Both of which we take pride in - we're definitely the best for both in Poblacion. We aim to be accessible, affordable and relatable as we continue to nurture a fairly new market. Thus, “Little Brother" - hospitality always comes first. They are also #47 in the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2019 list.
