This place is ope 2r hours so come and enjoy a drink or food. The hamburgers and fries are terrible if you're American. But the chicken wings and dishes with rice are spot on so you cannot lose there. If you're American accept the fact you'll sacrifice western comfort foods for more value with your favorite drink or another type of food available that is just as good if not better. The staff is solid and considerate with a no b.s. attitude so take care of them. You get a lot of rowdy patrons here but every one here wants a good time so roll with the vibe of the place. You have options as a couple or a large party for a more private experience at any time of the day so if you have no idea where to go no matter what time it is come here and you'll have all your needs met for a good time. Strongly recommend this place but can use improvement in service and cleanliness.

Good things about this place; Separate smoking and non-smoking area. Liverpool - English Premier League was on. Drinks are good and reasonable.

On a weekday night, people gather together to compete to be the quiz night champions as they battle each other out in four different rounds: general knowledge, ladies round, a special round that changes every week then the most coveted round, the sports round. The questions they ask can either be common or the weirdest and most random trivia that you never thought anyone would ever ask. It's amazing how the hosts think and find all these trivia and info! You'd be surprised how intense the competition gets. Each team has their own name and the people in it make sure that there will always be someone to represent the team for the night (even if it's just one person, it has happened). It's definitely a great experience to share with friends!

It was really a Godsend when someone in our barkada discovered Quiz Nights at Skinny Mike's. Every Thursday since we've been competing, coming together, taking shots and catching up without the hassle of planning! The rules of the game are simple, reserve a table for your team, grab your white board and get the answers right! There are 4 rounds: general knowledge and current events, special themed round (this changes every week), ladies round, and sports round. To add to the competition, they've recently included the drunkest team competition: the team who orders and finishes the most P20 jager shots gets 3 extra points (our record was 167!!!). It's a great relaxed atmosphere for friends to get together, grab a beer (or a shot), munch on some nachos and have a great time! If you ever find yourself looking for me, drop by on Thursdays!

Last weekend we rolled in around happy hour, grabbed some loaded nachos and wings that hit way better than your average bar food (that Sofitel polish really shows), and just vibed with the pool view in the background. Staff were super friendly, kept the drinks coming without us even having to flag them down, and the whole place has this fun, laid-back energy that makes you forget you're in a hotel. Perfect for pre-gaming before a concert at MOA Arena or just unwinding after a long week. Easily 5 stars--will keep coming back.

On these rare occasions of doing guy things with my friends (unfortunately us girls can't always choose shopping, coffee shops, mani-pedi, brunch, or wine bars as a bonding activity), we would end up bowling or at a pub/sports bar. SNAPS bar is one of the places we go to for some beer and to shoot some pool then go hang out by the bay for sunset or hang out just after sunset. Drinks are hotel priced so expect to pay a little bit more than your usual pub. Service is good and the bar chow is what you would expect from a hotel bar. There's also happy hour from 5-8PM so that can also be an alternative venue for some post-work drinks or apero. Just a word of caution: try not to drink too much, otherwise, you may end up gambling at the casino just next to it!

You can get the traditional Filipino food like adobo or kare kare as well as pizzas and even Mexican food like tacos and fajitas. I enjoy my time here, however service can be hit or miss. It really depends on who is your server. I have had both great service with friendly smiles and not so great service where I felt like an inconvenience. Overall, a great place to hang out, have few drinks and eat some food before heading out for the evening.

First of all, the service was amazing. The restaurant was packed but everyone was on their toes. But it's newly opened so I wonder if they can sustain it for the rest of their stay here. The food was a hit and miss. We ordered the classics/menu staples just to see how they fared. Here's a rundown: The Lime Chicken was great but the portions were a bit off; Don't order the Loaded Potatoes! they had no taste. it's not worth it; It was hard to imagine how they could mess up on the Thai Salad but it lacked dressing (you could get more though!); The drinks (Sangria, Margarita) were just AMAZING; The Honey BBQ on Boneless Chicken Bites were GREAT and their Cheese Quesadilla tastes better with salsa verde (free to get!) The wait for a table is long because it's newly opened and it's a bit pricey, but definitely worth trying at least once!

But don't just limit your perception of Handlebar as a bikers' club - though it is that. It's quite welcoming, in a fairly relaxed and accessible part of the city between the old red light district and the commercial Jupiter street. Pub fare is pub fare, but you can expect hearty rib slabs and liempo off the grill, too. Why not have some nachos? Why not have some fries? They go down great with a drink, and you could have a lot of that at Handlebar if you can handle it...!

The prices for food and drink are a little higher than other options around, but are well worth it. I'd mostly had drinks and in doing so I'd met several nearby patrons who I'd met a few times during my stay and we all had good times here. I'd seen flyers advertising live music at their venue but I wasn't able to catch the event. They do show UFC fights at no cost, all you have to buy is food or drinks, but get there early as the place fills up quickly. When I come back next, I will be making my way over to Cabin 420 for sure!

While it isn't the highest…read morevantage point in the area, it still offers a great perspective of the neighborhood, with particularly nice views of the illuminated Rockwell buildings and the distant BGC skyline. The atmosphere is definitely a vibe--chill and social. Music starts up later in the evening (around 9 PM, I believe), which helps transition the mood as night falls. We visited fairly early and enjoyed the shift when the music began. However, one interaction notably dampened the experience. A brief, joking conversation with a bouncer took an unexpectedly dark turn. When I lightheartedly asked if anyone had ever tripped on the spiral staircase, he replied, "Only if I throw them off." Joking or not, for someone responsible for patron safety, this felt in poor taste and sounds like he wants to look or sound intimidating. It's a remark that unfortunately sticks with you. And it was of bad taste. Overall, Z Roof Deck has much to offer in terms of views and ambiance, but attention to staff training and customer interaction would elevate it from a good spot to a great one. 2 star from poor choice of words from the security at the roof deck. You want to be funny? Tell a better wholesome joke.
