X278 Bar & Grill - Raimund Marasigan's new band, Assembly Generals.

There are quite a few bars along Aguirre Avenue in BF Homes but this one is the only decent one…read morewith live bands playing. And by that, I mean that they're the only ones that don't have show bands playing every night (although it's fun watching now a show band once in awhile.) Just like most bars, Red Ninja has had events here too. Beer is cheap and I've heard that burgers and ribs are good here, though I have yet to try it. Parking can be difficult, but there's always a spot somewhere along the street. Sound system isn't as good as everywhere else but the bar just has this chill vibe to it that you wouldn't really mind a so-so sound system. Everyone is just happy and loving what they're hearing. There's a beer pong table in the air conditioned area where I've seen a few people make beautiful friendships too. It's a bar for young people and those young at heart.

So last night I did the craziest thing..I went out on a weeknight (wohoo!) I broke my routine of…read morestaying indoors, watching movies, writing Yelp reviews and basically just being in a horizontal position all night. I went to X-278 Bar with no idea about what it was like; it was just one of those places that I would see filled with people whenever I would drive along Aguirre. I came in there last night, looking like a "tita" in a crowd filled with girls and boys radiating a strong, youthful glow and ordered a rhum coke with a fellow "tita" friend. The music was pretty good, a bit emo that evening but nonetheless entertaining. I love that there's now a new bar 10 minutes from where I live, with live music, trinkets sold on the side and cheap drinks.

I may be quite biased here, but I love The Monochrome mainly because I had my wedding reception…read morehere. But why would I choose a place away from the city? My husband and I were looking for a venue that made us both happy. He wanted something outdoorsy while I wanted something indoors (because I know how hard it is for ladies to deal with the heat and sinking in grass), but we both agreed that we did not want our reception to be in a hotel. We were both happy and satisfied when we checked out The Monochrome because it is an events place (complete with clean rest rooms and airconditioning) but it also opens to a wonderful view of the (man-made) lake and some greenery. We chose to have our reception during noon time so we can take advantage of the natural light. I had an easy time dealing with them for my wedding. They were approachable and assisted me throughout the planning months. Since it's very bare and mostly white, it is easy to decorate the place according to how you want your wedding/event to be. I also like how there are enough restrooms and a specific parking lot to make it more convenient for your guests. I would definitely recommend this place for an event!

It's always nice utilizing a venue that's not too fancy, as there is more potential to execute…read moreideas for events. Different looks and themes can easily suit simple venues, thus making it more versatile and could easily be offered to clients. Monochrome in Nuvali is exactly that. With two halls and one smaller function area in the middle, all three can be combined to accommodate up to 800 guests. The airconditioning units are elevated and built into the walls so there is even more potential for the flexibility in positioning key area like the stage, musicians, the VIP tables, etcetera. At least one side of each hall is all glass, giving guests a beautiful view of the garden and the man-made lake at a distance. Upon renting the venue, clients can also utilize the holding rooms to freshen up or use as storage. I once personally handled a wedding with the reception at Monochrome. We used the holding room for the couple to freshen-up, get retouch for make-up, and it was also from there that they made their grand entrance, descending from the stairs for all of the guests to watch.

Back to the 90's - Plagpul playing at Back to the 90's.

It was such a coincidence that I was at Back to the 90's yesterday and it was apparently--Hashtag:…read moreThrowback Thursday. My friends from Concerned Artists of the Philippines in UP held a back to back gig of two independent bands there last night (Plagpul and KALIS), so I passed by and gave my support. It was my first time in this bar but I already knew about it for quite some time; it's Back to the Future signage along Tomas Morato, corner E. Rodriguez is simply hard to miss. I was curious at first to see what it's like inside Back to the 90's, only to find out that it's actually no different from most bars ideal for gatherings of independent bands and the underground music scene. The only difference with Back to the 90's is practically, its 90's theme. You will definitely see a lot of Throwback posts on their walls because of the framed movie and music posters from the 90's era. Haha! What a virtual way to describe it, but I would rather stick to such description than say nostalgic because I simply did not get the feel. I was born 1991, so I really wasn't able to get a glimpse of how bars then were like. Although, when I asked some of my older friends there, they said that 'yes, this is actually a recreation of a 90's bar.' What I like about it, is it's cozy but rock and roll ambiance that went well with its small, vertical space; comfortable couches are leaned against graffiti walls showcased by dimmed pin lights. They also have a very cute menu placed in an old school CD case where they offer alcoholic beverages and bar dishes like Nacho's, Fries, Buffalo Wings, etc. Although, I wasn't able to have a taste of any because I was a little broke last night (P200.00 per order), and their selections were not really that inviting, the waiter said that their best seller is the Tapsilog. Overall, it was an OK bar for me. I would go here if good bands will be playing but probably not for a usual late night chill or beer nights.

Not sure how I feel about this place. My brother took me here for dinner last week to meet his in…read morelaws. The food was...ok... nothing special that I can't make myself. I guess I have high expectations for places that charhe more for their food and with establishments that appear fancy. Being that there were 10 of us in our party I'd understand that we would have to wait longer. However, there was only our party in the entire restaurant and it took them literally like 45 minutes to an hour to bring out the food which was absolutely ridiculous!! First and foremost, the beef and brocolli was below mediocre. I mean, who the hell puts FISH SAUCE in beef and brocolli? It's supposed to be oyster sauce, not fish sauce. Fish sauce gives it a disgusting butt flavor, please don't put fish sauce in it anymore!! I had to stop eating it. The texture of the meat was a bit dry and tough. The sauteed vegetable chop suey however, was good!! No meat, just veggies. I did enjoy that!! The butter chicken was good, even if the chicken wings were tiny wings... must be 38 day chicken. Service was a bit slow and could have been a bit faster. I'll try this out again when I go back to the Philippines to see if they have made some improvements.

If you want to chill with cocktails and foodie, you will definitely love this resto! Service was…read morequite slow due to shortage of staffs. Ambiance was nice because of the live band braised pork was super

The times I've visited The Brewery is between 6-9 p.m. before hitting up Valkyrie or Pool Club so I…read morekill time with friends pregaming with beer and/or enjoying some appetizers. Having tried their classic flight of beers, I can honestly say The Brewery has a solid selection, specifically their IPA, which I really enjoy. I'm not a beer expert but I am from San Diego, which is a major beer city in the States so my standards are a bit high. Their appetizers and desserts aren't too shabby as well. I can see why Yelpers have rated this place high. HOWEVER. Why the two stars? Because of their abysmal customer service, ESPECIALLY by a woman I am presuming is the manager. Her demeanor and her all black conservative outfit just screamed "HBIC" or "Head Bitch In Charge." Her name tag read "Mae." Her RBF ("Resting bitch face") is something serious and I am NOT exaggerating. It's even more serious when you have to interact with her. Mae, regardless of if you are or are not the manager, you should learn the value of customer service. Why would I want to go back to an establishment run by or that employs an ice queen as a host? Do what every grown adult does at a job and fake it. It won't kill you to smile and radiate a bit of warmth to patrons. This might sound crazy but it might even influence customers to come back or even better, positive word of mouth. The rest of the servers are... well. One waiter/bartender took my order, served my friend's cocktail and completely forgot about mine. I didn't see him again after so I had to call a waiter to follow up on my drink, after like 20 minutes of waiting. Two stars for the ambiance and solid brews and food. I was about to give it an extra star for the nice 20% on classic beers after 7 p.m. for Visa card holders but Mae and that waiter's idea of customer service didn't warrant the extra star. I might come back but why would I when "Yes Please" is right next door. Yes, it may be a bit pricier, food and drinks are concerned, but I'd gladly pay a little more than to be given a cold shoulder.

My cousins & I were hungry for the night & walked over to the Brewery from Valkyrie. It's next…read moredoor! Looks busy, but they seated us right away for a Friday late night. Sisig Pizza: YUM! I'm not Kapampangan, but if you don't know what sisig is, it's a Kapampangan snack type of meat marinated in lemon juice or vinegar. It's usually eaten by itself, but to try it on top of pizza was a plus. Medium size that was a good snack for 4 people. With a couple snacks & 4 beers, bill was less than 1,000 PHP, not bad! Ambience: The Brewery is connected to The Pool club. When we walked over to the restrooms, you can easily walk out to the pool; however, both have different DJ's. BUT! I loved both DJ's. Now this is where I really enjoyed my night. The DJ at the Brewery was hands down playing all the hip hop & R&B music. My cousins knew what kind of music I listen to & they knew to stay on this side of the club longer. Enjoyed the music & food. Service was an average. How about things you do not see on a normal restaurant/club vibe basis? One of the workers was sweeping with the walis (broom) next to us doing their job by keeping the restaurant clean. I was amused for a sec & that wasn't the alcohol laughing. Walk out the side & dance the night away at the Pool club. They have couches to lounge on with bottle service, but a full dance floor by the DJ up front. Be amazed with their all around sound system. I recommend the Pool & the Brewery at the Palace!
