It was a long weekend with nothing to do, so to spice up our otherwise boring life, I took the brood to Buddha Bar the other night! 😉
You don’t really see the establishment along Kalayaan Ave., Instead, you see this huge sign, then you make a left to get to the actual place.
It was surprisingly quiet when we got there at 9:30PM. Maybe because it was a Monday, but a holiday nonetheless.. We were able to park right in front!
Lucky Cool dudes & dudettes! 😉
I was never a party girl, so clubbin’ with my posse was a great & new way to spend a beautiful monday night. Buddha Bar was truly a delight & a night of posh-ness -10k worth! @_@
The 525 seat-capacity Buddha Bar, franchised by the AMA Group of Companies from Paris, boasts of 4 levels. Basement, where the powder rooms are located (such wasted space I think -they could have made it private function rooms)…
My pretty girls! <3 Basement. It was a hassle going down those lovely stairs in their heels. Found out too late that there was an elevator, teehee! ;P
Powder room.. also SO VERY DARK! Yes, even inside the cubicles…
ANG DILIM SA LOOB!!!
The Ground Floor where the partying happens! (They have dancing friday & saturday nights) Mostly serves drinks & pica. When we were there though, the music was like “transic”, maybe kasi chill lang ang drama! 😉
Buddha watches over us! ;P This is the dance floor on weekends (fridays & saturdays, except sundays -they are closed. So be sure to call ahead. They don’t allow reservations on the ground floor -only on the dining areas at the 2nd floor.)
Happy peeps! <3
The bodyguards! 😉
Another lovely stairway going to the 2nd floor. Again, they have an elevator. Do use it if you’re wearing heels! 😉
The Second Floor which is the dining area. Pardon the darkness of the pictures, short of using a flashlight & disturbing the other guests, there was really nothing I can do. It was really pitch-black inside with just small candles illuminating the area. (Click HERE for daytime pics so you can fully appreciate the beauty & grandeur. I want this as peg when we finally build my dream house!)
Lovely formal place settings. Take your date here, pogi points agad for sure! 😉 Just be prepared to shell out A LOT!
View downstairs from the dining area..
Private function room on the 2nd floor.
The Third Floor which is the covered Rooftop, is rented out for 300k/night (consumable) for private parties/events. Expensive, ya think? They rent out the whole place for a cool 1M/night! Hows that for poshness? 😛
It was drizzling when we went there so the furniture & lounge chairs were covered up.
No, this is not a swimming pool!
They allow kids even on the ground floor (I’m not sure on weekends though), just no alcoholic beverages for them! ;P So even my Lovey was able to enjoy clubbin’ that night. <3 SOSI! Otherwise, we would have been forced to stay on the 2nd floor while the juvies partied downstairs.

I like this clubbin’ thing. Maybe we’ll do this again very soon. Google up babies! *Saving up mode*. 😉
It’s easy to get lost if you’re not familiar with makati. We made so many wrong turns that we almost gave up, haha! So here’s a map to help you, coz you really have to visit the place even JUST ONCE. That’s how beautiful the place is -it was like you were in another country! ;P
hahaha what we saved on a supposed overnight beach trip was spent in under 3 hours!!! akala ko nakatipid! ;)) But yes the happiness on the kids faces -priceless! 😉
