BAR by EAST is an architectural firm by day and design-forward cocktail bar by night located in Lamp Quarters, Marikina, hidden behind large wooden doors in a minimal industrial space of concrete and glass. The sophisticated menu features signature creations including Bear by East, Wintermelon Highball, and Marikina Sling alongside classics and alcohol-free options, many incorporating playful local elements like gummy bear-infused vodka and calamansi liqueur. Open Sunday–Thursday 5 p.m.–midnight and Friday–Saturday until 2 a.m., the venue offers an intimate setting ideal for small groups seeking innovative cocktails in a contemporary aesthetic that celebrates Marikina's design heritage.
