Just visited this place last night with friends. They have tables outdoor & got seated outside. Place is huge with 2nd floor & looks a bit fancy. I ordered seafood ink pasta- it taste a bit sour & creamy. My boyfriend got the chorizo pizza- It taste okay. My friend ordered the carbonara and I tried a bit of it, taste good like the usual carbonara. All in all food taste decent but I think this place is good to drink & chill. Good for big parties since they have lots of tables & place is really comfy! read more

See all

I have a lot of mixed feelings about Big Bad Wolf. I really love the design of the place - it's very Kinfolk-y and hip. Very "now", a place that's not easy to find in Manila. If you're a beer drinker, then you'll be very pleased as they have a lot of options here in bottles and on tap. They are also open late and have wifi which is great too. All guests get a bowl of free popcorn which is nice too. However, the quality of the food really isn't great. And they offer NO DESSERTS. Yup, zilch! The food needs a lot of work and for a place that looks as cool as Big Bad, they should definitely include cooler, edgier food items that are more on-trend. The cocktails could also use some work - it's a lot of uninspired stuff here. And the wines by the glass are often served stale and flat and there isn't much selection. Plus it's quite expensive too. read more

I still remember BBW before they relocated to Burgos Circle-- in fact, I had an exhibit of some of my works in their tiny space by McKinley! They still open their walls to young and budding artists looking to break into the local art scene (at rates cheaper than that of other galleries...), so whenever you eat there, know that most of the paintings are probably for sale and you're welcome to take one of them home! Their prices are pretty normal for the BGC area, but their food is okay. Nothing too impressive, to be honest. What I like about BBW is their wide array of beers and lagers! Even some of the more unknown local brews! BBW is a great place to hang out in: low lighting, rustic wooden feel. It's very intimate and perfect for catching up with friends, or having a date with your SO. (That is, if you have the cash to burn!) They also have times where they have Thursday music Throwdowns, which is similar to Singing Bee, only the participants are more drunk than sober. BBW is.. nice, to a point. Cozy and you see all the hip kids hanging out here. But if I were to be asked? I think it's too noisy and everything's a bit pricey. It's an okay place to have an okay night. read more

Big Bad Wolf - Bogs brew primo and some potato skins (that were sadly not as crispy as when I first tried them at their old branch) - Bars Near Me - Taguig, NCR

Probably my favorite spot in BGC to have a beer. A great selection of craft beer on tap, with reasonable prices. I especially recommend the IPAs. If you like to sit in a chill environment, or on the quiet outside sidewalk, and enjoy a nice craft beer or cocktail over an intimate conversation, this is your place. Service is also quite good and attentive here (sometimes a rarity in the BGC). read more

Really, really good. Food Recommendations: - Steak - comes with really yummy crispy seasoned fries and asparagus, worth the P1350 - Black squid ink seafood pasta - I love anything squid ink, and this dish does not disappoint. It has huge clams, mussels, calamari pieces and shrimp served in a cute little bowl. - Hot "Bastard" chicken wings - soooo good. Just the right amount of spiciness. - HUGE mango shake Interior/Decor: - very hipster-esque; dim lighting, succulents, raw hardwood tables, etc Customer Service: - At first I really wanted to give this place 4 stars, but the food trumps the customer service. they're just slow and understaffed. all in all, i would definitely come back. they have some really tasty dishes and are located away from the busy areas of the fort (if you want a nice, quiet night). read more

Big Bad Wolf has always been a go to spot for my friends and I. Their relaxed atmosphere has been a great place to grab a night-cap for a plan-less night out or meeting friends you haven't seen in a while. This very casual (used to be, it's now in the open in Burgos Circle) secret spot is super cozily decorated with couches and low tables. They have really good food, mostly bar chow, the potato skins are super yummy! Their cocktails are also a reason to go hang here, frozen mojitos!! What I love most about this place is that they feature and sell a lot of local (and sometimes foreign) artists! It's what decorates the walls, so each trip is different and it's always nice to see what's new there. We always find ourselves here and end up staying for hours! It's also a nice, quiet place to get work done in the afternoons! read more

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? No, no, no, not I! I like that little song just as much as I like hanging out at Big Bad Wolf to catch up with my friends over drinks. I have a few things I like on their menu, like the tomato soup and pork chop. I've seen my friends wolf down (eh, see what I did there?) their sandwiches, too. I do not recommend any of their house cocktails, though - their sangria is particularly unbalanced and the others are a bit too sugary. Go for the hard stuff and you won't go wrong! Once the food and drinks are settled, sit back, relax, and enjoy your time amidst the hip furnishing and decor. I like the second floor more because I can smoke there and that's usually where live art or music sessions happen. If you prefer to have a quieter, more chill night, seat yourselves downstairs. read more

Big Bad Wolf grew up a bit when they moved from their lil corner of McKinley to front and center at Forbes Retail. But with all change, bad or good is relative. The art installations are a bit more intimate. The second floor's low-ceilings and pre-existing decor strike me quite differently than their previous floor-to-ceiling white walls. The second floor is also less conducive to the over-flowing crowds that would pour outside of the old space. In place of this, you have a space that promotes interaction among tables. One of my favorite nights there involved a "crowd-sourced" live art exhibit during which the tables were asked by the artists for keywords to guide their paintings done on-site. As a smoker, I really appreciate that the second floor is smoker-friendly at night. I do miss the 2 for 1 bottle promos that they used to have: Jack Daniels, Tequila, or The Glenfiddich depending on the night. The new offerings include a variety of local craft beers and a selection of specialty cocktails. Also, don't forget to try the alternative palutan selection; I'd start with the roasted corn salsa. read more

Away from the clubs and the ear-splitting music of the usual establishments you find in the Fort, you find this relaxed cove of quirkiness that is Big Bad Wolf. The decor, with its mix of mismatched chairs, simple wooden tables and reclaimed wood accents is informal and gives it an almost rustic feel. It creates a very relaxed environment and it's one of the few drinking places in the Fort where you can actually hold a conversation. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Servings are quite large and can definitely be shared. The drinks are great as well. I wouldn't call their cocktails cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for in terms of quality. They also offer a lot of local and imported craft beers (to support the new wave of hipster-ness). Each beer has a brief description of its taste and character so you're better guided with your choice. read more

One of my favorite things about Big Bad Wolf is how far away it is from the hustle and bustle of Fort BGC. Well, it's not that far away, I guess, but it's quiet and you can definitely catch up with friends or just hang out for a few hours, at least during the day. Another one of my favorites would be the wall art. It's intriguing, quirky, and definitely friendly for the average user's Instagram feed. The food is as well, and it's pretty good; I enjoyed the oven friend paprika chicken, smoked bangus fritters, and queso fundido. I went here with my uncles who were excited to finally get to drinking with their nephews, so I got to try some of the craft beer. There's quite a selection to choose from, but thankfully there's a brief description for each kind. The regular San Miguel beers I'm so accustomed to though are P100 a pop, so I don't see myself hanging out here anytime soon with college friends. read more

This place is the coolest place around burgos circle. Very nice interior design and they offer comfy seats and interesting extra's such a waterpainting classes etc. They offer some good craft beers on tap, but sometimes they taste flat and I have to send them back. They are also often out of the other beers. Since this is a beer place, not a lot of people order wine so the house poor stay open for more than a day. You can't serve a wine anymore after it's being open for more than 36 hours in my opinion, but they still do sometimes. When I tell them about, they do listen and try to make amends, especially RJ is a great guy. Best food is tilapia sisig. Cold brewed iced coffee is awesome, especially during happy hour where it's only 75 php. Can't brew it yourself for that price! Thanks for being in my neighbourhood. read more

Very good food. Good service. Authentic dishes. Moderate noise level. Reasonable prices.

While I was a fan and regular of their original spot located in the Fairways Tower also in BGC, I'm a bigger fan of this new joint! Think of it as a more upscale version of Bugsy's, which coincidentally is just right beside it; the neighborhood bar full of people your age (children of the 90's unite), with a good selection of booze: sangria for her and craft beer flight (sampling glasses featuring a mix of Fat Paulys, Craftpoint, Pivo and Katipunan Ale) for him. Do pay attention to the wall décor as you're bound to find a lot of real cool gadgets and treasures from our lost childhoods. read more

My friends love this place. I think it's OK. I remember when it used to be located on the ground floor of Fairways Condominium in the Fort area as well but I guess they found a more populated location at Burgos Circle. I find it interesting to say the least. It's slightly edgier than the other restaurants in the area which makes it an instant draw for people whose eyes are peeled for something different. I ordered the smoked salmon frittata which proved to be quite alright. Nothing memorable. What I did enjoy was the three cheese pizza which my friends and I happily split amongst ourselves. Good place for drinks. read more

Really really good food and drinks but servers are very rude and are very unattentive.
