There’s a new reason to dress up, gather your friends, and celebrate in the city, and it sits right in the heart of Makati city. Formerly known as The Mansion Bar, the newly rebranded Monarch unveiled its refreshed identity on May 31, 2025, during an intimate launch attended by media personalities, creatives, and friends of the brand.
The transformation is more than cosmetic. Gone are the moody corners and dark club ambiance. The Monarch now glows with vibrant lighting, plush textures, and a layout that blends elegance with play. Upon entering, you’re greeted with a mix of sophisticated lounge areas and private rooms equipped with billiards, electric darts, and beer pong, designed for those who want their nights to feel both exclusive and playful.
But what stole the spotlight for many was the all-new menu, a delightful surprise that elevated the entire experience. My personal favorite? The Salmon Royale Creamarelle, rich, creamy, and cooked to perfection. It was followed closely by the Grilled Roast Chicken Royale, which hit that perfect spot between comfort food and premium dining. Pair that with a glass of their signature Amaterasu Radiance, a sake-based cocktail that’s as elegant as it is refreshing, and you’re in for a night you won’t forget.
Beyond the food and design, The Monarch positions itself as more than a nightlife spot, it’s a lifestyle venue. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, intimate celebration, corporate mixer, or just want a unique Friday night hangout, the space is built to accommodate both big moments and spontaneous gatherings. It’s rare to find a bar that can flex between chic and casual so effortlessly, and that’s exactly what makes The Monarch special.
So why celebrate at The Monarch? Because every detail, from the interiors to the menu to the music, feels intentional. It invites you to slow down, sip, and savor. It’s a space where your celebrations feel seen and styled.
In a city filled with places that promise a good time, the Monarch delivers something more, an experience worth remembering. Whether you’re planning your next big celebration or simply craving a night that feels a little more special, this is where it all comes together. The Monarch is where you crown your moments, right in the heart of the city.
