But for the high price, the quality, quantity and services are seriously lacking. They also have strange extra-charges. For example if you ask the left-over food boxed they will charge you a substantial fee for that! We had never seen or heard of such policy anywhere else and they don't inform you of such bizarre fee in advance either! The humidity and pollution don't help this place either. Will not go back and don't recommend it.

During our November, 2024 trip to the Philippines, we visited Hard Rock Cafe Manila with Tita Loida…read moreon Sunday night of November 17, 2024. Situated at Level 2 of S. Maison, a separate shopping destination located within the SM Mall of Asia complex, specifically the first two floors of the Conrad Manila Hotel, we walked through a brightly lit, pristine looking mall to the rock 'n' roll-themed restaurant & bar. Entrance to the venue brought us immediately to the gift shop, then to the eatery with a high-energy vibe. The entire area was very clean and tidy on the evening of our visit. Arriving around 7:15PM, we were seated right away to a front row table from the stage. We paid a ₱395 cover charge per person since we arrived after 7PM, but the fee was inclusive of a beverage. Mom ordered the APPLETINI (₱475 if not covered in the entrance fee) which was too sour for her liking and I had the STRAWBERRY LEMONADE DAIQUIRI (₱455 if not included in the cover charge) which I found to be too sweet. Hard Rock Cafe serves burgers & American classics, but this Manila location also has some Asian food offerings. I was delighted to be served a free small bowl of kropek (fried shrimp crackers) upon seating. We also ordered the ALL-AMERICAN CHEESEBURGER FLATBREAD (₱695) for the four of us to snack on while watching the show, not bad. WENDY'S PROJECT and HYPERBEAT were the live bands that performed. Again, not bad, but not the best. During the show and even while the DJ was playing, they had a young guy leading everyone to follow his dance moves. It was almost like watching an aerobic dance class. Those who participated seemed to have a ball. I guess that is what makes Hard Rock Cafe Manila different from others, at least compared to those in the United States. It definitely helped to liven up the dance floor. Would I return? Only if Tita Loida wants to, otherwise, most likely no...because I would prefer to do something more traditionally Filipino rather than American while in the Philippines.

We were celebrating a birthday and from the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to make the experience feel special. They were warm, attentive, and genuinely happy to help -- the kind of service that really sticks with you. I ordered the Truffle Mushroom Pasta and it was delicious -- rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked with just the right amount of truffle flavor. It's definitely a standout dish that I'd come back for. The whole vibe of the place was upbeat and energetic, with great music, cool rock memorabilia, and a lively yet comfortable setting. Being inside S Maison at Conrad Manila adds to the experience -- classy, convenient, and with beautiful surroundings. If you're looking for a place to celebrate, grab a great meal, or just enjoy the Hard Rock vibe with top-tier service, this is the spot. We'll definitely be back!

Z Roof Deck lives up to its name as a solid rooftop bar in Poblacion. 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.

Since we had dinner already at home we only ordered a plate of nachos and two bottles of beer (total bill was only Php350. They don't charge an entrance fee). We were disappointed with the nachos because it was served late and cold. We should have ordered the sizzling tofu instead. Anyway, it's a good thing the band playing that evening, Jek Manuel and The Stronghold, was good. We really enjoyed the group's performance. I like the place because it's separated from the crowded and smokey part of the Metrowalk. I don't like their chairs though, very uncomfortable. We will definitely go back there because food (mostly hotplate or grilled) is not expensive, band performances great, place cool, and location is fantastic.

Seeing its walls lined with pictures of famous artists who performed there, one would instantly realize how many stars have graced the stage of The Music Hall. During my visit, I witnessed a concert where Philippine music legends Boy Mondragon and Richard Merk performed songs that made them famous. (Yes, not my generation, but it was a fun, entertaining, impressive show nonetheless.) All that while enjoying a smooth Daiquiri with Calamares, Drunken Shrimp, and Sizzling Tofu. With the cool air-conditioning and the live bands and groups like the FBC "Rebirth" and the L & S Femme stoking up the crowd's enthusiasm and letting them sing along to the hits of yesterday and today, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I'm sure you will too. Just check their schedule which is packed with events featuring artists from then and now.

The reason for the 3 stars was everything else. This includes the food and the service. It felt to me like ordering food was a bit of a nuisance. First they did not have all of the item menus and the food I did order ( beef dish ) tasted like fish. I only ate the rice and the rest of the food sat on the table and enjoyed the band as well. The wait staff also seemed like they didn't want to be there. Also I noticed that there was no female wait staff, at least not on Tuesday. Not saying they should or shouldn't.... I just find it a little weird. So the restaurant gets a 1.5. Overall. I would go there again with a full stomach. Bands like freestyle and south border are worth it.

Situated in a nondescript warehouse in a less glamorous part of Makati is probably one of the coolest speakeasies I've been to in the Metro.

This isn't your typical bar where the standards are available and the bartender looks like your dad's pare. The bartenders here are definitely serious mixologists and there's no drink here I haven't enjoyed. There's a good selection of imported beers here, though I would like to see more local filipino craft here since the only local beer option is San Miguel Extra Dry unfortunately. Come here to chill with friends and let off some steam. They also offer food selections from their other neighbor, Joe's Meat Shack. If I'm not looking to go crazy on my few nights off and I'm looking for some straight chill, Finders Keepers is definitely a keeper for me.
