For the appetizers, we tried the sisig, Spam fries, onion rings, and chicken tenders. The first two were such downers because the sisig was too salty, while the Spam fries seemed like all breading. The last two, on the other hand, were quite good, particularly the chicken tenders, which had a good balance of sweetness and spiciness. My friends and I then tried the two-patty burger, and I enjoyed the patties so much! They were juicy and flavorful, and the buns soaked so much of its juice, so they became a bit soggy. The fries that go with the burger were also good. We also tried the chicken Jambalaya, which was smothered with pesto sauce. The chicken pieces were a bit dry, but the pesto sauce did its work. What I loved the most about this dish was the RICE. Goodness, it was so good! It was spicy, but not overwhelming, and I think it's much better paired with the burger patty than the chicken. read more

Went here on a Saturday night for a friends surprise birthday party. Arrived around 830pm. It was just my group of friends there, which was nice for the surprise. The place isn't too big but has a couch area, tables with benches/high chairs and a small dj booth. At the back, before the CR, there is a book case. If you open it its a small private room. I wasn't able to get a good look though, maybe next time. Also didn't try the food. I did drink though...however I didn't pay, so not sure about the prices either. As the night went on it got busier and the music was good! Old school hiphop/rnb music :) Good to dance to. It is near the other clubs like Imperial, Aracama and Prive. So if you want to leave their are many options of where you can enjoy the rest of your night. I would definitely come here again to start a night out. Next time I'll try the food and figure out if the drinks are a good price or if I should have people keep buying me drinks. ;) read more

Pablo's is my favorite pub at the Fort, probably because I feel so at-home here! Their burgers are so juicy and tasty (they probably have adjusted though from the time they opened to smaller buns, but still the same patty!) and they have their buy-one-take-one promo every Tuesday. I also really love their chicken tenders and some other finger food. I enjoy "inviting" my friends over (see, I really feel it's mine) to Pablo's because of the atmosphere and ambience. The staff are very friendly and accommodating (my favourite server is Ramon). If you want a more private night, they have The Glenlivet room that is hidden behind a sliding bookshelf! That's pretty cool! Usually I have my Jameson shot and ginger ale here; I think they're the only ones in town who know how to serve my favorite Irish whisky! They also have their tequila promos I think every Thursday. read more

I had a chance to try out Pablo's Pub and Restaurants thanks to the generous people, and not to mention good looking people of Zomato (Thanks guys for inviting us!). At its core, Pablo's is just one of the dozens of restaurant bars lying around in BGC, or is it? That's what we're going to find out in this review. AmbianceIt has the typical restaurant bar look and feel to it due to its dark rustic interior and liquor bar on the side, but it also has some quirks. It has a fake library at the back which is actually a sliding door for its function room. According to the owner, the function room can hold from 15- 20 people and it also has a built-in tv inside all for Php 10,000 consumable food and beverage. As a side trivia, the name Pablo's is actually a reference to Pablo Escobar, a Colombian drug lord known for being the richest criminal in history (There is also a tv show being aired right now, called Narcos which revolves around the life of Pablo Escobar). The look and feel of the restaurant is supposed to be a tribute to one of Pablo Escobar's cartels. FoodPablo's has been here for a few years now and I've heard from the owner that they've slimmed down their offerings to better control their inventory as well as the quality of the food itself. Right now, they offer mostly known comfort food, with a lot of liquors, as expected with a bar. For starters, we tried out their Paprika Fries(Php 160). These are hand-cut fries seasoned with paprika, served with mayonnaise and tomato ketchup on the side. It's not as spicy as I previously thought, but it's seasoned well enough, good for sharing. Other than that, there is nothing too special about it. But I'm pretty sure my partner will love it. Next, we had their Spicy Chicken Tenders(Php 250). Personally, I think they nailed this one. The marinate on these fried chicken cubes are just perfect, offering a mix of sweet, spicy and savory flavors. It has a sour cream dip on the side should you choose, but you can enjoy this dish just the same without it. For a more appropriate Filipino bar dish, we got to try out their take on Chicharon Bulaklak( Php 230) or Crispy Pork Intestines. It is a lot crispier than I'm used to and their use of lemon infused vinegar is really creative of the chef. Other than that, this is a good version of the classic pulutan( Filipino's drinking meal). Last but not the least, they offered us their best seller, the Pablo's Cheeseburger(Php 190). It got the essentials, like the lettuce, tomatoes, special dressing, and the cheese(otherwise, this wouldn't be called a cheeseburger). The patty, though is actually really thin at this price range, is at least condensed. So far it's a pretty ordinary dish, but the real star of the show here is their buns, which is a buttered brioche bun. The buns are really light and fluffy, it's easy to lift the whole thing while keeping all of its ingredients intact. I like that its buttered to give the whole burger more flavor. Some people might not like it, but I definitely do. For our beverage, I went first with the Cranberry juice. Its a typical cranberry juice drink complete with its sour flavor. Perfect for those non-alcoholic drinkers out there. The next one is the Jameson and Coke. For those unaware, Jameson is a whiskey and I actually prefer its mixture with coke more than the Jack Daniels due to its more smooth feel to it. Overall, I think that Pablo's Pub and Restaurant is reasonable. It has average to more than average tasting food for really affordable prices for a BGC restaurant, much less a bar. This is perfect for those looking for a good place to unwind after a very stressful week on a budget. read more

Came here on a 10pm Friday night and we were able to score our own table easily. It starts to get crowded around 11pm due to traffic for the bar next door. Although a little crowded than most bars, this place has a very modernisitic and sleek look that creates an awesome ambiance. Music is great and the DJ welcomes music requests. The crowd is more for 25+. Had a great time here. Check them out! read more

Pablo's first came to my consciousness because it was the new "it place" for a hot minute, but what I didn't realize was that this place actually has incredible food. My first experience was squeezing in with a huge crowd in the tiny bar during New Year's Eve, and wondering why I didn't just stay in and eat some ice cream in my pajamas instead. However, the next time I went there was thanks to an event that my friend had invited me to. About twenty or so drinks later, we were all craving for some food, preferably the greasy, unhealthy kind. We ordered two different kinds of fries, and out came these awesome huge platters of fries with bacon bits and sunny side up eggs and cheese, and any other good thing you can think would be possible to put on fries. So are there other, better bars in the Metro? Maybe. But they definitely won't have the amazing food that Pablo's offers to come along with it. read more

Pablo's Pub and Restaurant - Breakfast fries. You can thank me later. - Gastropubs Near Me - Taguig, NCR

People often ask me what my favorite pub in the Metro is, and without hesitation I tell them that I love Pablos Pub. You see it's the intangibles that matter. Not just their renowned Pablos Burgers, that manage to capture the taste of a homemade burger but lifted to a whole different level. Not just their signature steak dish, the Pablos Escobar, which is ALMOST as good as the one found in Mamou's (my quintessential favorite), at half the price. And not just their Pablos Pub Platter, which is a collection of all their signature appetizers and is meant to be shared with the barkada. It's the music selection featuring up-and-coming talent in the Metro scene; it's the caramel beer at the end of a night of hard liquor; it's the sirloin tapa with two eggs to go along with the caramel beer for that perfect ending. You see it's the intangibles that matter. And Pablos has it. read more
