Our Story

Day to Night

Two vibes, one glass house. We transform from a sunlit brunch haven into Makati's most intimate rooftop bar.

Brunch in the Glass House

Wake up to waffles, pancakes with bacon, signature dough knots, and perfectly brewed coffee — all bathed in natural light through our glass walls.

Golden Hour

Sunset Views

As the Makati skyline glows at twilight, settle into our outdoor seating with a craft cocktail. The city views from our rooftop are unforgettable.

Evening

Bar & Live Music

By night, Seltsam transforms into a lively bar with live music, creative cocktails like our whiskey sour and Amaretto Sour, and European-inspired bites.

Meet Boba

Every great bar needs a great host. Ours happens to have four paws and a Siamese charm that has stolen hearts across Makati. Boba, our resident cat, roams the glass house greeting guests and occasionally photobombing your brunch selfies.

If you are lucky, Boba might curl up at your table while you sip your evening cocktail. Just another reason why Seltsam is unlike anywhere else.
