The second and third floors are lined up with health and wellness facilities, while the third floor would have retail stores and occasional exhibits.
Beyond A. Venue lies the Makati Avenue strip. Along Makati Avenue itself or just off it, a short walking distance from the venue hotel, there are several reasonably-priced middle-end restaurants, including:
- North Park
- Aberdeen Court
- Barrio Fiesta
- Pizza Palace
- Casa Armas
There are also the food and beverage outlets of the nearby hotels, such as Great Eastern and St. Giles, and Berjaya. Once you cross Makati Avenue, you are close to the "red light" district of Makati City, especially in the area around Burgos Street. The place is a maze of bars, night clubs, karaoke joints, and food establishments, and they remain open for most of the night.
If you walk along Kalayaan Avenue (away from Makati Avenue, away from the A. Venue complex, towards the back of the venue hotel), you will come across Picar Place. It is a 3-story building which houses Buddha Bar, a chicken restuarant with branches all over Europe, the USA and the Middle East. It is higher-end restaurant which serves fusion Chinese/Japanese/Thai dishes, and is very popular with the dining crowd in Makati. Beware, they do have a strict dress code (e.g., shorts and slippers not allowed).
