When most people speak of Williamsburgos (aka Poblacion, Makati), the first places they'll mention…read morewill most likely be the taco and yakitori joints on Felipe Street, or the Latin American chicken shack on Ebro. But one of my favorite places in Poblacion is actually a decrepit little pub, located beside Ringside and a couple of sleazy strip bars (it IS Makati's red light district, after all) mostly frequented by geriatric Caucasian expats and their Filipina wives, and maybe the odd hipster or two. That being said, The Woodman's Head is a great place to grab some beers and gin and tonics for cheap. I'm talking 60 pesos cheap. In fact, I kinda hesitate to write about this place because I am clannish about where I like to hang out, and prefer it if people don't hang out where I do when I go out because I am a notorious introvert. Another really great plus about this place is that Travis, a good friend of mine, has done a great service to The Woodman's Head by introducing Deep Fried Pickles(!!!!) to their menu. I know that dill pickles aren't everyone's cup of tea, but hear me out. When they are sliced thinly, deep fried in batter and dipped in Travis's magical Ranch Sauce (I realize that sounded vaguely pervy), it's sooooo good. Would definitely eat these even without the aid of alcohol. However, going to the Woodman's Head can be a little bit intimidating without a posse (unless you're a dude. If you're a woman going there independently, I suggest you bring friends, because). Still, it's a part of Williamsburgos that's off the beaten path, that I enjoy going to when my night is winding down, especially when I can't be bothered to shout over my beers just so my friends can hear me.

Must gets: shots of the ube cream, shots of the salted caramel, the fun "ritual" drinks for a little show from the bartenders.

But the hardest decision is normally "Where are we going?" My friends and I have been more inclined lately to go to sit down places. Bars or restaurants where we can actually get a table and get comfortable. Draft is one of my favorite chill spots because one, they have my favorite beer on tap (Hoegaarden) and two, the food is damn good! Draft used to be the place we went to when it was time to wind down the evening. A beer or two to cap of the night. When we discovered that food was hella good here too it now has become the main event! The croquettes are my favorite thing in the world! Ham, chicken, and cheese all wrapped in delicious crunchy coating that I has burned my tongue on many occasions because I couldn't wait to have them. Their truffled mushroom risotto was sooooo good and creamy! Perfect dish to pair with anything else on the menu! Paired of course with an ice cold beer! Without a doubt a great experience with every visit.

This place is ope 2r hours so come and enjoy a drink or food. The hamburgers and fries are terrible if you're American. But the chicken wings and dishes with rice are spot on so you cannot lose there. If you're American accept the fact you'll sacrifice western comfort foods for more value with your favorite drink or another type of food available that is just as good if not better. The staff is solid and considerate with a no b.s. attitude so take care of them. You get a lot of rowdy patrons here but every one here wants a good time so roll with the vibe of the place. You have options as a couple or a large party for a more private experience at any time of the day so if you have no idea where to go no matter what time it is come here and you'll have all your needs met for a good time. Strongly recommend this place but can use improvement in service and cleanliness.

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!

Usually, I go here after a long day and just sit at the bar. I order my beer, watch a bit of TV then head home. Simple. No noisy gossip, no blaring dance music... just a big ass beer and basketball on the TV. The food is pretty decent. It's just a bit heavy for me if I'm here alone. I recommend the Spam Chips! Love those! The sausages are good too. But, seriously, you're here for the beer and you can't go wrong with a draft beer. They have flavored beers for the girls. If you're looking for something sweet to drink, I recommend the Caramel Beer. They have promos for every day of the week. For example, they have Girl's Night Out Wednesdays. Ladies get Buy 1, Take 1 on all cocktails and wine. On Thirsty Thursdays, my personal fave, all their available foreign beers are only Php100. NICE! If you're feeling the oldie bug and want a chill night, this is THE place to go! Who knows, maybe you'll see me sitting by the bar when you visit. ;)

St. Patrick's describes itself to be your friendly neighborhood pub, and it absolutely lives up to…read moreits claims. Its gates are (literally) open for anyone and everyone to step in, have a few beers, and chow on some grub. Being a pub, they take pride in their beer and whiskey selections. Perhaps not the widest selection, ever, but pretty good for a bar that I can walk to. But, being somewhat of a buffalo wings connoisseur, I couldn't help but give theirs a try. I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked their recipe! I like my wings a little sour, and this hit the spot perfectly. Maybe a bit too spicy for my taste (although, I'm not complaining), but it is great for a quick buffalo wings fix. Look for Rachel -- she's the server who is stationed by the door. At least during the evenings. She'll take care of you.

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.
