Our Story
The Legend of ALAMAT
From the heart of Poblacion to every plate we serve — this is the story of a gastropub built on Filipino pride, community, and craft.
Who We Are
Born From Myth, Made for Community
ALAMAT — the Tagalog word for legend, myth, and folk story — carries the weight of a people's history. Our name is a promise: that every dish, every drink, and every night spent under our roof will be worth remembering, worth retelling.
We opened our doors in Poblacion, the thriving nightlife district of Makati City, with one mission: to make Filipino cuisine the hero of the night. Not a side note. Not an afterthought. The main event.
We are a gastropub — a place where great food and good drinks are inseparable. Filipino flavors, honest ingredients, craft beer, and handcrafted cocktails served in a space that feels like coming home, even if you've never been.
What We Stand For
The ALAMAT Principles
Three pillars guide everything we do — from the way we source ingredients to the music we play on a Friday night.
Heritage First
Every dish on our menu is rooted in Filipino culinary tradition. We respect the classics even as we give them new life.
Community Table
Filipino food has always been communal — best enjoyed with family and friends. ALAMAT is built for exactly that.
Craft & Quality
From hand-pressed cocktails to carefully sourced ingredients — quality is non-negotiable in every pour and every plate.
The Space
A Corner of Poblacion That Feels Like Yours
Poblacion is one of Metro Manila's most vibrant neighborhoods — a place where old Makati meets modern nightlife, where embassies and cocktail bars stand side by side. In this neighborhood, ALAMAT found its home.
Our space was designed for late nights and long conversations — for groups celebrating milestones, couples on date nights, and friends who linger over one more round. The ambiance is warm, the music is right, and the kitchen stays fired up until 2AM.
We host live music nights, private events, and birthday celebrations. Whatever the occasion, ALAMAT is ready to be part of the story.
