Inside Asian Gaming has announced that the Christmas edition of networking social event Manila After Dark, MAD 39, will again be held at BRB at Solaire Resort Entertainment City on Thursday 10 December 2026.
This will be the third consecutive year that the final MAD of the year has been held at BRB. This has become a hugely popular tradition for the industry in the Philippines.
BRB at Solaire Resort Entertainment City offers an intimate take on the classic speakeasy, where rare spirits, bespoke cocktails and understated sophistication set the tone.
Home to more than 350 rare whiskies, BRB showcases an exceptional collection, alongside Prohibition-era-inspired signature cocktails and thoughtfully crafted zero-proof creations. Enhancing the experience is a glass-enclosed wine cellar and built-in humidor featuring a selection of local and imported cigars.
The venue’s vintage-inspired interiors, elegant main bar and intimate seating areas create a stylish and inviting setting for social gathering indulgence. For exclusive events, BRB also features a semi-private space that can accommodate up to 42 guests.
Recognized by Tatler Asia as one of its Most Recommended Bars 2025 and honored at the Tatler Dining Awards among The Best Bars 2020, BRB continues to set the standard for premium bar experiences. These accolades reflect Solaire Resort’s dedication to delivering world-class hospitality and memorable moments for discerning guests.
“Our partnership with IAG for Manila After Dark 39 reinforces our commitment to driving sustainable growth, innovation and excellence across the gaming and integrated resort landscape,” said Gregory Hawkins, President and Chief Operating Officer of Bloomberry Resorts Corporation. “We look forward to engaging with industry leaders, strengthening partnerships, while showcasing Solaire Resort’s commitment to world-class hospitality and service excellence.”
IAG Vice Chairman and CEO Andrew W Scott added, “By December, everyone has earned a good drink and a night with great company. Our industry runs on relationships, and some of the best conversations happen when the formalities are out of the way. BRB has become our year-end home in Manila for good reason. We’re coming back for a third Christmas — so I think we can start calling it a tradition!”
Debuting back in early 2019, MAD is a regular series of industry networking social events held in the Asian gaming hubs of Macau and Manila. Each MAD brings together key industry decision-makers with the people they want to meet in a relaxed and friendly environment.
The event rotates around the region’s best hospitality venues – some well-known and some hidden gems.
Due to its enormous popularity, MAD is strictly by invitation only. Invited guests must RSVP and be confirmed by having an event entry ticket on their phones. All guests must supply their business cards upon arrival. There is also a select VIP list for each event.
