True to the Latin word where it derived its name from, the new Arcana Lounge offers a secret destination for those who want to dine and wine sans the build up of post-lockdown crowd.

'Pre-pandemic, bars would be filled up every Friday and Saturday. But now, people really go out as early as Monday and Tuesday nights. It seems everyone's excited to go out after two years of staying at home,' Arcana manager Patrick Jacinto observed, additionally telling The Manila Times at the sidelines of Arcana's opening that they took build up of the crowd as a signal that it's the perfect time to open up a new lounge.
