We are hiring again! Be awesome, we’ll reciprocate.

WE ARE HIRING : You're the solution, not me. We need someone with high energy, wide smiles, conscientious attitude, and hospitality experience (details at the bottom).

You’ll be working at the Astbury, an independent culture hub and private members club in the city — we help our members thrive through provision of co-working space, creative studios, event venues, food and drinks, and personal/professional growth programs. We're located in the home of the avant-garde, Poblacion Makati. As a 2022 startup we have big dreams and have already taken many steps forward - we want to do better, and for that we need talented new people to join our Fam.

Take a look at our page here and at our website and socials () for the vibe. Salary is competitive, work environment is inclusive and open and authentic (no corporate BS), HMO, mentoring and growth.

You will be working as the first impression of our club - greeting and receiving Members, member guests and event guests.

Some guidelines:

1. Please send us a message - we won't respond to comments.
2. Please have hospitality experience - we won't pursue applicants without it.
3. Be awesome! We'll reciprocate.

Enjoy the break people! Time to crack a little, release the pressure, reflect, pause, plan, reinvent, rebirth. The Astbury will be closed from today, Wednesday 16 April, and back on Monday.
While Holy Week holds deep religious significance for many, it’s also, culturally, one of the rare times Metro Manila collectively slows down. Traffic disappears, inboxes quiet, and even the most caffeinated among us might remember what it feels like to rest.
A few things to ponder while the city goes still:
🥚 The egg has long been a symbol of renewal—in both Christian and pre-Christian traditions. In ancient Persia, eggs were exchanged during the spring equinox as a symbol of rebirth and the cyclical nature of life.
🌕 Holy Week often coincides with the first full moon after the March equinox—linking it to lunar and seasonal calendars used by many cultures long before organised religion.
🌱 In some parts of the Philippines, the week is used for pagninilay—deep reflection. Not just fasting, but fasting from noise, expectation, or the need to perform.
Wherever you are—spiritually or geographically—may your break be nourishing, strange, and a little cracked in all the right ways.
See you soon.

Well hearts day is over. How was it for you? In love or not? In a relationship or not? Dining alone or first date success?

You might be able to guess from our late-night posting that date night was a mixed bag for our Fam, with love stories and sorta-horror stories, all ready for dissection and discussion on Monday!

You can opt for a New Year’s resolution or you can go big and choose to start a revolution. A foolproof way to change the world is sitting at the Reason Lounge. 👩🏼‍🎤

Still munching on those Christmas leftovers? 😄

The holiday feasts might be gone, but the memories of gathering and sharing meals remind us how fortunate we are to celebrate abundance together. ✨

We are suuuuper excited to step into another year and savor those December favourites all over again with you. Our doors reopen on January 6th, ready to serve the dishes you’ve been craving: Seared Tuna and King Oyster Mushrooms, Plantsa with Sausages, Pineapple and Strawberry Crumble, Tofu Bites with Wild Mushrooms, and of course — Steaks. 🤤

What one person discards, another transforms into art. 🦾

This soda can-turned-anthropod reflects creativity's power to find beauty in the overlooked. Purchased from a neighbor who crafted it with their hands and heart, it now adds a layer of ingenuity to our space! 🙌🏼 We love to celebrate stories like this — raw, unexpected, and brimming with possibility. ♻️

The holidays can bring a lot of emotions. Joy is ultimately expected, but that is not the case for everyone. Some experience emptiness and some carry the heaviness that comes with loss.

Wherever and however you are celebrating this season, we’d like to extend some Cabernet-Shiraz vibe to honour the many notes life offers us. Cheers to the sweetness, spice, intensity and mischief of being alive. A well-balanced life is a recurring pursuit and can be a wild loop! As this year draws to a close, may you meet a new beginning with a velvety finish. 🍷

Party planners turn our spaces into stages where stories come to life — transforming a simple venue into a Mafia hideout, a sophisticated gala, or an intimate soirée for a sober gathering. It's the little touches! The lights, the props, and some handwritten touches scattered here and there to add a human element to the scene (not to mention, branding 😉)

At the heart of it all are our members' and guests' unique visions coming to life and leaving an impression long after the party ends. ✨
