She seated me at the bar right away, immediately poured me a glass of water, and talked me through the menu. For my flight, I picked two award winners (equinox, white mamba) and two bestsellers (legally blonde, holy grail). I enjoyed all of them and can see legally blonde being a good day to day light option. Holy grail is a nice hoppy IPA and was probably my favorite of the bunch. Equinox is a flavorful amber ale and the menu recommends pairing with a heap of bacon lol. White Mamba, a pale stout, was to me the most unique and had a smoky coffee aftertaste. The bar has two floors (I stayed at the first floor bar) and is nice and airy with its tall ceilings. Has a nice craft beer hall vibe. Would love to come back!

I just google craft beer BGC and came upon this place, so we walked over from our hotel Shangri La The Fort. We went during the day and the area was pretty empty. I didn't realize till we went to the area on another evening that it is a lively, happening, and busy place at night, with the other bars and restaurants for nightlife. Again very cool. Anyway it is small, the whole thing open to the outside, feels like someone opened a garage door and you walked in, prob what it is. The vibe/decor is clearly a simple craft beer bar, no more no less, which is great, with a bar, few tables including a long high top table along the wall we sat at. Other than the bartender there was one other person there I assume was also an employee. There were 25 taps, mostly local Philippine beers. I forget the exact price but the flight of SIX beers was less than $10. they were smallish samples though. A couple taps were kicked and we had to wait to replace but they were fine. Beer wasn't ice cold, and it was hot out. But all were good. I had: Green Lava DIPA 8% (Engkanto) Berry Red fruit ale 4.2% (Craft Revolt) Manila Hipster FIPA (fruit ipa, i asked) 8% (Craft Revolt) Shut Up NEIPA 5.3% (Craft Revolt) Urquell pilsner 4% (Czech Republic, yes also apparently a local Phillipine brewery) Flame Out NEIPA 6.6% (Craft Revolt) looking back at the menu I guess I should have tried other beers from other breweries like Nipa and Bulul which they had. But nice to see the craft beer industry in the Philippines growing. The winner was Green Lava DIPA from Engkanto, which I've had before. They had some food as well. Sample sizes were small, but yes you get 6 in a flight, and again not super cold, but I really liked this place, and plan to come back every time I visit the Philippines.

The Cowboy Grill is a honky-tonk, with a full-sized stage and two levels of dining / viewing. They are open daily, from 17:00pm to 04:00am. I only went to drink beer and listen to music; but they have a full menu for food, and a full bar. On the night that I visited, they had a cover band; but they also host DJs. (Check their website for the calendar and menu.) On the night of my visit, when I entered, I was assigned a waiter. This individual took my orders that evening. I think they did this to evenly distribute work (and potential tips?). It was fun.

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.

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.

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!

Seventy-seven kinds of beer. Fifty-one brands…read more Three local brands of beer. If you're a beer lover and looking for an alternative place to hang out, Brew Haus should be on the top of your list. Get this, they open at 7am and close at 2am. Now, I won't judge you if you ever decide to start your day with a beer with your breakfast. I know I would, too. Local beers start at P70. While imported beers start at P150. The most expensive among their selection are the Hertog beers at P1000 a pop. They have beer on tap, too, with the likes of San Miguel Light, Hoegaarden, Stella Artois, Becks and Paulaner. Maaaan, typing this out is just making me excited to have a bottle of Leffe Brune (P190). I'm hoping that sometime in the future, they'll add Indio Pale Ales to their beer selection. The local Katipunan IPA craft ales are really good and would be the perfect partner for their Grilled Cheese Burger (P195) and Ghost Wings (P395). For the cocktail loving folk, they have tequila, liqueurs, vodka, rum, gin and wine. It's not as extensive as their beer selection though. Maybe you're the "liquor before beer you're in the clear" type of person and that's a-okay. As for me, I just drink whatever whenever (and eat whatever whenever).
