Bar Big Fuzz

Big Fuzz is an inviting cocktail bar hidden behind a red door in Manila's Little Tokyo, offering a warm, analogue escape dedicated to human connection, vinyl rock records, and bold libations. Co-owner and head bartender Kyle Quismundo, alongside Eli Paraiso and Elmo Ulanday, champion a program of classic and modern classic cocktails, with drinks referencing the music they love from the last two decades. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a friend's apartment, where guests can grab a seat by the bar to get up close with the friendly team or reserve a table for a group. While the menu is filled with delicious cocktails worth exploring—including must-tries like 12:51, Wild Eyed Boy, and Penthouse Paul—the bartenders are also happy to whip up a bespoke drink. Big Fuzz was named Tatler Best Philippines Bar of the Year in 2026 and has been recognized among the Tatler Best 20 Bars Philippines in 2025 and 2026.
