The Journey

Hangar 18 is a premier live-music restobar and bistro located in the historic Casa Tesoro building in Ermita, Manila. It combines an aviation-inspired atmosphere with premium food and drink, and is known for hosting diverse local bands alongside elevated bistro fare.

Reviving the Golden Era of Ermita

Hangar 18 took flight with a mission to breathe new life into Manila’s historic nightlife and entertainment district. Operating in the iconic Casa Tesoro Building, we seamlessly blend old-world Manila charm with a vibrant, modern social experience. We transformed a storied space into a welcoming aviation-themed hideaway, serving as the ultimate gathering place for musicians, artists, and food lovers alike.

Our Vibe: Your Second Home

Designed to feel like an upscale, welcoming living room, Hangar 18 offers a cozy atmosphere where you can enjoy great nights with friends and the best of local live music. Whether you are unwinding with colleagues, catching up with friends, or enjoying a night out, our friendly staff and electric atmosphere provide a top-notch experience from the moment you walk through our doors.

The Experience: Where Great Food Meets Live Beats

We believe that a perfect evening requires the perfect trifecta: great music, delicious food, and excellent drinks. 

  • Live Entertainment: We are proud champions of the local music scene. From acoustic folk nights to electric local bands, our stage offers a diverse, dynamic lineup every week.
  • Elevated Dining: Beyond the stage, we offer a high-quality menu featuring expertly cooked bar bites and hearty bistro favorites, complemented by a fine selection of beers, spirits, and wines.
