MANILA, Philippines—After temporarily closing its doors due to the challenges brought about by the pandemic in 2020, formerly stationed at the heart of Poblacion, New York inspired club NoKal is finally back at the nightlife scene with a new home in Makati. 

As its previous spot was hard to miss with its neon, pink lit “NOKAL” sign along Kalayaan, the local bar has become a staple for Poblacion goers with the area at that time being one that was known for hopping from one joint to another – depending on the night. NoKal grew into an all around bar and diner with how successful it was in creating a space for certain individuals that eventually grew into a community. It was a significant loss for the scene when they were forced to close and hopes were high that they would reopen later.
