If you're into "checking in" to places be it on Swarm or Facebook or... are there other check-in apps?... it looks kind of cool to have just checked in to "Wherever". Dimly lit, dark wood bar, showing its wear, albeit only about a decade old - of course it could well have been another pub before. Perfect place to think of as a dive bar. But then you start to look at what's on offer - this is a Scotch bar for people who know their Scotch. Rumor has it that they have somewhere around 200 different labels! Unfortunately for me, I'm not a Scotch drinker, and the only beer available was Warsteiner on tap or Miller in bottle. I ordered a gin & tonic from one of the three or four gins available.
Five different burgers on offer - really just different toppings available, as they're all the same burger - no fancy lamb or veggie or anything of that sort. I ordered the "Uno" sans sweet barbecue sauce. I'm not a bbq fan when it comes to burgers. Simple patty, good sized, perfectly seasoned, cooked to somewhere very slightly past medium rare. A slice of cheese, lettuce and tomato (smartly, the lettuce placed on the bottom, so it protects that bottom bun), a couple of sliced cornichons, a couple of slices of bacon, and some red onion. Steak fries, a little soft for my taste, but delicious. Herbed mayo to dip them in. The usual array of condiments in packets on the side. Done and done. Is it a great burger? No. But it's a very good burger and one I'd happily eat again at 135 pesos. And for you Scotch drinkers? This is the place. read more
