Whisky does not always have to be serious, intimidating, or reserved for special occasions. With the grand launch of The Whisky Bar inside World Kitchens on Level 4 of Gateway Mall 2, Araneta City now has a new place where guests can enjoy whisky in a more refreshing, more social and more rewarding way.

With its wide drink selection and exciting offers, The Whisky Bar is set to make every visit feel like The Happiest Hour, Every Hour.
At the center of The Whisky Bar experience is its signature highball menu. A highball is whisky served with a refreshing mixer, making it lighter and easier to enjoy. At The Whisky Bar, this popular Japanese whisky serve is given a more flavorful twist through highballs made with Charles & James Whisky and complemented by flavor-forward mixers and ingredients, the highballs go beyond the usual with bright citrus notes, subtle sweetness, and crisp easy-drinking profiles suited to the Filipino palate.

These highballs offer guests a refreshing new way to enjoy whisky. They are smooth, social, and easy to drink, while carrying the depth and character that make whisky one of the world’s most celebrated spirits. Whether enjoyed after work, before a movie, over dinner, or during a night out with friends, The Whisky Bar’s highballs make whisky feel more refreshing, special, and worth coming back for. For those looking to explore whisky further, The Whisky Bar also offers an expansive selection of world-class and sought-after whisky brands, served neat, on the rocks, or through classic whisky cocktails.

Complementing its whisky offerings is a cocktail menu inspired by timeless favorites that have become staples among Filipino drinkers. The menu includes crowd-pleasing classics such as the Mojito, Negroni, and Sangria, made with quality spirits and served with the same elevated touch that makes every round feel more special.
