Manila

Hobbit House

A Throwback to an Earlier Generation

1801 A. Mabini Street
Manila, 1004

Phone: +63 2 521 7604

The hobbit, a benevolent dwarf, was a character in an enormously popular series of books by J.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings, now a major motion picture. Based on that theme, all of the waiters at this bar are midgets. The Hobbit House has been around in Manila so long, it is virtually an institution, serving as a regular venue for live music. It offers a dark, smoke-filled interior, where alcoholic drinks of every description are passed around. Contrary to urban myth, dwarf-throwing is NOT a feature of this bar, although tossing back shots most definitely is!
