When I was told that one of the planes I always see on Palacio de Memoria’s grounds was being turned into a bar, I simply had to check it out for myself. And I’m telling you: it did not disappoint.

MOSPHIL by RRR is a bar encased in a decommissioned Ukrainian Antonov 24-B aircraft, and we absolutely love the concept! An original late 1950s to early 1960s Antonov An-24B, later used by MosPhil Aero — a short-lived airline based in Makati from 2005 to 2006, operated both domestic passenger and cargo services, with a planned Zamboanga–Sandakan–Kota Kinabalu route.
Now, it’s a “plane by day, bar by night” – the ideal spot to unwind and relive the period of funky-town Manila. Inspired by the swinging 1960s and radical 1970s, MOSPHIL by RRR revives the nostalgia when dressing up to fly was in vogue and the cocktail experience was ethereal.
The vintage mid-century modern furniture aside, the main reason you should go is the fact that they exclusively serve crafted cocktails by Run Rabbit Run. If you’ve tried Run Rabbit Run’s cocktails, then you know you’re in for an unforgettable experience.
A quintessentially exotic take on classic and modern cocktails, the trademark Run Rabbit Run taste is a carefully blended mix of freshness, spice, heat, and exotic herbs. Add in RRR’s obsessive need to perfectly balance out all of these elements, and you’ve got yourself a Run Rabbit Run cocktail.
Whether you like your cocktails light or hard, they’ve got something to suit your tastebuds. My personal favorite is The Red Eye, but I’d say that’s reserved for those who can really hold their liquor. :p So, what are you waiting for? Get your friends together and try out this experience for yourself!
