Project Arkipelago
A "Tiki 2.0" Cocktail Bar by AFC & Co.
THE CONCEPT: A TIKI BAR WITH A BRAIN AND A SOUL
Welcome to Arkipelago.
​
We are a "Tiki 2.0" bar. This is our philosophy of systems-driven craft.
​
-
THE BRAIN: Our bar program is the "neuro" side of our craft. We're re-engineering Tiki for a new era. We've built an intricate, proprietary library of House Rum Blends—complex, batched, and perfectly balanced—to ensure every cocktail is a masterpiece of speed and consistency.
-
THE HEART: This precision is our brain, but our soul is Filipino. Our food menu is not an afterthought; it's our heritage. The "sweet, sour, and savory" profile of our Pulutan (bar snacks) is the perfect partner to the bright, acidic, and funky world of Tiki.​
​
This is Arkipelago. We're combining the meticulous brain of a craft bar with the warm, welcoming heart of the Philippines.
​
Mabuhay!
THE EXPERIENCE:
A CURATED JOURNEY
Our menu is designed to guide you. Start in the "Safe Harbors" (Low ABV) , venture "Out to Sea" (Mid ABV) , or commit to the "Shipwrecked" (High ABV).
​
Our kitchen will serve a focused menu of modern, "one-handed" Filipino Pulutan, including Lumpia Shanghai , Lechon Pork Belly Skewers , and Sisig Tacos.
​
For the true adventurer, our "off-menu" "Kraken's Fall" list features our most complex, "world-ending" cocktails. For those who dare, inciting "A Mutiny" (a 151-proof float) is a one-per-person gamble.
​
The atmosphere is a "Midnight at a Tropical Manor" —sophisticated, warm, and built for escape
THE STATUS:
IN DEVELOPMENT
Project Arkipelago is the next evolution of the AFC & Co. brand. It is currently in the concept and development stage.
​
We are meticulously building our systems, "Bible", and house-made modifiers.
We are seeking the perfect location.
​
This project is guided by the core AFC & Co. value of "Quality Over Quantity".
It will be ready when it is excellent.
​
Follow @afcandco on Instagram for our progress, pop-up events, and more.
​
In late 2026 there will be a crowdsourcing campaign to assist in making Arkipelago a reality.
