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!

I remember during my high schools days when my barkada would so often have dinner here during Friday and Saturday nights. I wasn't sure if it was because of the brand recall or ambiance, but you were definitely in when you're seen drinking at Congo Grill. These days, I no longer visit the place for their beer but for their food. Their Sisig dish is definitely one of the best in the Metro! While not everything will appreciate the dash of mayonnaise on top of their sizzling plate of sisig, I, for one, love it! Keep the rice coming as I can definitely finish my share in one fast seating.

We were just required to order a certain amount of food and didn't have to pay for the room itself. They are very accommodating and it's best to reserve the back room ahead of time. Food came out in maybe 30 minutes when they were serving the large group. Their food isn't bad. I've had better sisig. But the prices are affordable. The other time I ate there, my friend and I split a large pusit and rice. It was enough for the both of us and a quick cheap lunch.

The steak tasted as if it were cooked on a skillet, microwaved, and seasoned with salt before serving. It wasn't good. The cocktails took forever and they made a mistake making it. The description didn't mention Tabasco and I even made sure it didn't have any prior to ordering yet it was in the drink. I asked if they put Tabasco yet they denied putting some in there. I asked another waiter and he confirmed they did indeed add Tabasco. Overpriced for sub par food and bad service.

I forget which drink we ordered but it was a little watered down and we couldn't taste the alcohol or the sweetness. It tasted like watered down juice, basically. One of their mics wasn't working and we couldn't get a replacement or any discounts on this... The song selection was great! Lots to choose from, old and new. Hip hop, old love songs, etc all included. I was surprised. Chill Bar is ok. There are cleaner and brighter spaces out there to visit.

It was a very nice place, as you might imagine, a restaurant and bar on the 30th floor of a luxury hotel in BGC. It had a sort of American whiskey cowboy theme, though with the golden grandeur of the Shangri-La. The bar was pretty quiet at 10:00 on a Saturday night. Other than our table, the only guests I noticed were a very old white man and his very young Asian escort, who I do hope was being paid handsomely for her time. Service was polite and attentive, and we enjoyed a relaxing round to mark the end of our trip. My friend Nick L. was kind enough to buy. We got snack buckets of spiced popcorn when we sat down, then ordered ourselves some cocktails from the book-sized leather-bound menu. I had the Last Runner, a complicated milk punch with black and white rum, jasmine green tea, pineapple juice, passionfruit, milk, and calamansi juice. It was quite boozy and delicious, garnished with a charred slice of pineapple. I also admired my friend Bong C.'s Cowboy Old Fashioned, with Raging Bull bourbon, sherry wine, and vanilla. It came in a giant glass bottle filled with smoke, and he poured it himself into the accompanying old fashioned glass. We hung out for an hour then went to sleep, and I left for the airport the next morning. I had a great time in Manila thanks to my travel mates, and I was glad for this one last drink at Raging Bull.

We got thirsty for adult beverages, found this place in close proximity distance. Seated ourselves. 7 mins went by until a waiter came over to greet us and take our order. With simplicity, decided to get the largest San Miguel stout they were selling. My wife had a cocktail as well. Receieved our drinks within 10-15 minutes. While sipping on some brews, we were able to enjoy the boardwalk scenery of people walking, biking, & jogging. The ambiance was very pleasant. The weather was perfect! Had a nice breeze coming in as we lounged. No regrets on visiting this establishment. Just had a hard time paying. Our waiter was always on the move and it was difficult flagging him if we wanted additional beverages. Over all I would recommend this place. It's a relaxing chill place. Thumbs up.

The prices for food and drink are a little higher than other options around, but are well worth it. I'd mostly had drinks and in doing so I'd met several nearby patrons who I'd met a few times during my stay and we all had good times here. I'd seen flyers advertising live music at their venue but I wasn't able to catch the event. They do show UFC fights at no cost, all you have to buy is food or drinks, but get there early as the place fills up quickly. When I come back next, I will be making my way over to Cabin 420 for sure!

Smaller menu, but a good variety of choices to share. We got a bunch of plates to share amongst the table, but they're also a good size if you want a meal to yourself. The crispy pata, calamari, and sisig were our favorites of all our visits. Also have a good bar menu. They were out of about a third of the menu during our visit, but what we did end of ordering was decently enjoyable. The Hiyas and the Isla were good. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and we had no problems in getting a walk-up table. Great music playing. Menu was a bit overpriced - probably due to being inside of Seda. And they were also out of a few of the things we tried to order. Good choice for a nice night out with a great view of the city. Perfect choice if you're staying at the Seda and want to grab a bite to eat or a drink and don't want to leave the hotel. Would 100% recommend this for dinner over Misto.
