THE MONARCH ALABANG: A WINE BAR, ART GALLERY + DESIGN STUDIO

(SPOT.ph) There's something to be said about weekends in Alabang. The people down south are pros when it comes to whiling away the hours with good food and drinks. And as a South girl myself, I can say with confidence that most of the places in the neighborhood are made for that specific purpose.

If you're looking for something a little different from the usual dine-and-drink routine, there's The Monarch, a new art gallery-cum-wine bar-cum-interior design studio that just opened at Molito Lifestyle Center. They have a Brushes & Bottle, an art and wine workshop, where you can destress with a glass of wine in hand, and a paintbrush in the other.

Check out this paint-and-wine workshop in Alabang:

In the semi-hidden area of Molito stands The Monarch where you can go in—yes, for free—to appreciate the space designed by interior designer Jasmine Ancheta, and to check the art pieces curated by gallerist Allan Ancheta. On the second floor, you can grab a seat and get flushed from a well-curated selection of reds, whites, and pinks by wine curator Ardy Abello.

You can go on an art appreciation visit any given day, but on weekends, you can check out their Brushes and Bottles art and wine workshop. Priced at P2,000 per head, beginners or novices can partake in a paint-by-the-numbers activity to boost creativity and simply zone out, not mulling over what's been stressing you out for the past days or so. It will help that this workshop comes with a free glass of wine.

The Brushes and Bottles workshop is scheduled on Saturdays, usually from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. You can also have the workshop on weekdays upon request. When you're done painting, you can stay at The Monarch's wine bar until midnight for more vino over gossip.

The Monarch is at Unit 5 Molito Lifestyle Building No. 3, Alabang Zapote Road corner Madrigal Avenue, Ayala Alabang, Muntinlupa City. Gallery hours are from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays; Jas Ancheta Interiors is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday; and the wine bar is open from 3 p.m. to 12 m.n., Monday to Sunday.
