Bugsy's has always been known for their Buffalo Tenders. A few years ago, there weren't that many…read moreoptions for delicious Buffalo Tenders... so Bugsy's was my go to place for that, and then of course there's happy hour with their special rates for a lot of different cocktails. They even serve locally brewed draft IPA beer! Bugsy's is nice and cozy. They have good service, and their staff are always helpful, friendly, and polite. Most of the time, they get food to the customers real quick! I love pairing a nice, cold beer with something really spicy, like their Chili Bombs (deep fried chilis stuffed with ground meat and cheddar cheese)! I would also suggest to you their Fish Tacos which is a pretty big serving, in my opinion good enough for two people! Their pastas and pizzas are also pretty good, but what I like even better is their Fish & Chips (serving good enough for two). So come on over to Bugsy's, have a drink or two and relax. :)

I was baffled when the bartender didn't know what a gin + tonic was. Isn't that the most basic…read moredrink ever? Anyway I was served a shot of gin with a can of tonic water ‍ Eh, it works. It was around 250 pesos though which I find quite expensive for around here. My cousins and I ordered some potato wedges and they were awful! The oil they were fried in must have been super old because they tasted real funky. Also the sauce they served it with tasted like butter. I asked for some buffalo sauce to dip it in, and the buffalo sauce was super watered down with oil. Ewwwwww. I got ketchup instead which tasted a bit better. At least this place was open late! No complaints there.

There were a lot of local eateries/bars open at night but we were fortunate to find some patrons leaving and the table was quickly cleaned up so why not try this place? Glad we did. We had one appetizer and the rest of night we had quite a bit of the piglet salted caramel signature brews and it was worth it! The ambiance outside, music and service was great! When walking in to use the restroom, the bouncer/security guard gladly showed me where to go with my broken-Tagalog communication and I was suprised that the 2nd floor was very roomy with plenty of tables (and people!). When I return back to Taguig, I definitely will swing by for the caramel beers! Cheers!

We usually drop by this place once or twice a year, and one visit is always in October. This year,…read morethey still had the festive flags and the usual Oktoberfest exclusive food and beer. I noticed the staff weren't in their themed uniforms anymore. Maybe because it was the weekend? The place still looks the same -- nicely lit, tables and chairs clean and well-kept. I just wish the tables were spaced a bit better, and the TVs were in better spots. What really got me this time was the service. I was in a great mood coming in, but wow... the wait time was rough. It took them more than 15 minutes to serve our drinks -- and we only ordered draft beer and soda! By the time our drinks arrived, our food was almost ready. The food came after about 15 minutes, but they forgot to punch in our Flank Steak order. They said it'd take 10 minutes, but it took longer -- we even had to follow up after 12 minutes. Then when we ordered another round of drinks, it took another 5 minutes for the beer to show up. Totally broke the momentum. What's frustrating is the place was only about 25% full! Can't imagine how slow things get when it's packed. Overall, this visit just wasn't as good as our previous ones. Kind of disappointing, to be honest. Still, I'll probably visit again next October and hope it's back to the usual vibe. Also -- one of the rare times I didn't leave a tip.

If you work around the Kapitolyo/ Oranbo/ Ortigas center, you know what I'm talking about. You can start with dinner from their long menu of comfort gourmet food. The truffle fries and Angus basil meatballs are sure to get wiped clean from the table. The burgers are good, too, but when I'm out with big groups, we go straight for the pizzas: salami and arugula, truffle, 3-cheese (Mozzarella, gruyere, Gorgonzola). Things get rowdy at around 9 or 10 p.m., and smoking is allowed inside at that time. There's an outdoor lounge, too, if you prefer to chat because the music can get really loud inside.

They have nightly performers and DJ's that cater to the interests of their patrons. After a long day (or week) of working, this place can be the perfect getaway for the unwinding experience you rightfully deserve. Spicy Gambas, Truffle Tapsilog (garlic rice topped with egg and Angus Beef strips) and Oyster Sisig are exciting must-tries. If you're a fan of truffle oil then you would definitely love their menu. If you're a pizza lover on other hand, go for their 3-cheese or bacon and mushroom pizzas. Don't forget to ask the servers for their buy 1 take 1 promos on beers and cocktails.

For me, it's the best place to chill after a long day. It is also one of my go-to places because they have one of the longest Happy Hours from 3PM - 10PM daily! Buy 1, Take 1 for delicious cocktails (the menu changes but the bestsellers are always there)! My fave cocktails: Lychee Martini (Php165, 3.6 USD), Mojito (Php165, 3.6 USD), Amaretto Sour (Php165, 3.6 USD). So, if you order these 3 during Happy Hour, you get 6 cocktails for only Php495 (10.8 USD)! Best for sharing with friends too! To go with the drinks, they serve bar chow. Their Buffalo Tenders (Php245, 5.36 USD) are the best! If you want something heavier, they have a lot of affordable food options. My favorites are the Country Fried Chicken, Grilled Pork Chops, and Fish & Chips. Bugsy's Ortigas is the perfect place to go to for good food, good drinks, and good vibes! :D

A number of dishes on the menu were described as grilled, but they turned out to be deep-fried - I didn't hold out a lot of hope for a positive experience after that.
