It’s a higher spot compared to its highest standing so far at number 38 in 2021. The Curator has carried the distinction of being the Asia’s 50 “Best Bar in the Philippines&quot; from 2017 to 2023. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="The Curator" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/ancx/food-n-drink/2023/11/6abb.jpg"/><figcaption>The Curator is the only Filipino establishment to make it to the top 50 list.</figcaption></figure></div><p>The Curator is one of the early pioneers of the cocktail scene in the country. On the Asia’s 50 Best Bars website, it is described thus: “Dedicated to two of the very finest things in life: coffee and cocktails. The former is taken in the light café up front, while the suitably impressive latter are served in an intimate back room. The understated space plays host to a regular schedule of global bartender takeovers. And the drinks menu is filled with fun descriptions, a flavour map and, crucially, a credit for the bartender who invented them.”</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Cyrene de la Rosa with the legendary Hidetsugu Ueno, the founder of Ginza" s="" Bar="" high="" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/ancx/food-n-drink/2023/11/4abb.jpg"/><figcaption>Cyrene de la Rosa with the legendary Hidetsugu Ueno, founder of Ginza&#x27;s Bar High Five.
