The German Club Manila

Der Deutsche Klub Manila was formed in January 1906 by German members of its predecessors, the "Casino Union", a loose association of German-speaking expatriates, which dates back to 1880. As such the German Club is the oldest, predominantly foreign, social groupings in the Philippines, with its tradition of excellent dining and impeccable service. After occupying various locations around Old Manila, in 1979 the Club purchased its own prestigious premises in the penthouse of Eurovilla II building at Legaspi City, right in the heart of Makati.

With its fine ding facilities, a comfortable bar area and a smoking lounge, members and their guests will surely enjoy dining and relaxing at the Club. Chess, the German game "Skat" and other card games are played regularly. Once a month, their German speaking members also meet for the "Wirtschaftsstammtisch", their regular business discussion. Members also enjoy preferential arrangements with out of town sport facilities for golf and tennis. The Club organizes outings to rural locations of cultural interest or with recreational amenities for members, their families and guests.

Yes, German visitors to Manila are indeed encouraged to contact the Club to arrange privileges for their temporary enjoyment of first-rate dining and bar facilities.
