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.

Good things about this place; Separate smoking and non-smoking area. Liverpool - English Premier League was on. Drinks are good and reasonable.

On a weekday night, people gather together to compete to be the quiz night champions as they battle each other out in four different rounds: general knowledge, ladies round, a special round that changes every week then the most coveted round, the sports round. The questions they ask can either be common or the weirdest and most random trivia that you never thought anyone would ever ask. It's amazing how the hosts think and find all these trivia and info! You'd be surprised how intense the competition gets. Each team has their own name and the people in it make sure that there will always be someone to represent the team for the night (even if it's just one person, it has happened). It's definitely a great experience to share with friends!

It was really a Godsend when someone in our barkada discovered Quiz Nights at Skinny Mike's. Every Thursday since we've been competing, coming together, taking shots and catching up without the hassle of planning! The rules of the game are simple, reserve a table for your team, grab your white board and get the answers right! There are 4 rounds: general knowledge and current events, special themed round (this changes every week), ladies round, and sports round. To add to the competition, they've recently included the drunkest team competition: the team who orders and finishes the most P20 jager shots gets 3 extra points (our record was 167!!!). It's a great relaxed atmosphere for friends to get together, grab a beer (or a shot), munch on some nachos and have a great time! If you ever find yourself looking for me, drop by on Thursdays!

Generous portions, good food but sadly bad service…read more For a Wednesday evening where there were more servers than diners, it was disappointing to get the attention of one of the servers after 1/2 hour and then had to follow up on our order after another 1/2 hour, plus the appetizer never came! When we did get our burgers they said another 5 minutes on the appetizers and after 1/2 hour and a second beer we just said forget it and grabbed the check, which in classic consistent fashion I still had to go to the bar after 20 minutes to pay for it. So good food but don't expect good service.

Last weekend we rolled in around happy hour, grabbed some loaded nachos and wings that hit way better than your average bar food (that Sofitel polish really shows), and just vibed with the pool view in the background. Staff were super friendly, kept the drinks coming without us even having to flag them down, and the whole place has this fun, laid-back energy that makes you forget you're in a hotel. Perfect for pre-gaming before a concert at MOA Arena or just unwinding after a long week. Easily 5 stars--will keep coming back.

On these rare occasions of doing guy things with my friends (unfortunately us girls can't always choose shopping, coffee shops, mani-pedi, brunch, or wine bars as a bonding activity), we would end up bowling or at a pub/sports bar. SNAPS bar is one of the places we go to for some beer and to shoot some pool then go hang out by the bay for sunset or hang out just after sunset. Drinks are hotel priced so expect to pay a little bit more than your usual pub. Service is good and the bar chow is what you would expect from a hotel bar. There's also happy hour from 5-8PM so that can also be an alternative venue for some post-work drinks or apero. Just a word of caution: try not to drink too much, otherwise, you may end up gambling at the casino just next to it!

You can get the traditional Filipino food like adobo or kare kare as well as pizzas and even Mexican food like tacos and fajitas. I enjoy my time here, however service can be hit or miss. It really depends on who is your server. I have had both great service with friendly smiles and not so great service where I felt like an inconvenience. Overall, a great place to hang out, have few drinks and eat some food before heading out for the evening.

But don't just limit your perception of Handlebar as a bikers' club - though it is that.

Pub fare is pub fare, but you can expect hearty rib slabs and liempo off the grill, too. Why not have some nachos? Why not have some fries? They go down great with a drink, and you could have a lot of that at Handlebar if you can handle it...!

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!

Honestly, I had no idea this place existed, but luckily was paying attention when our driver drove past and I saw a massive line out the door at 1am. Luck would have it our hotel was just around the corner. We walked by one evening and decided it was way to crowded. With over an hour wait and every table filled we also knew pictures inside would be nearly impossible. With a couple hours to spare the morning we were leaving, we walked over after breakfast to check it out and maybe order something small to share. Of course, the desserts caught our eye and the rest was history. 1 massive dessert later, 2 of us could not finish, but throughly enjoyed every bite we ate. A daytime visit was the best choice. We pretty much had the downstairs to ourselves for pictures and several 2nd floor areas were purposely non-seating areas so patrons could take pictures. I could have spent hours here and would definitely return. The collection is unreal. The 50's vibe/atmosphere was on point, and the dessert (the only food I can judge) was delicious. If we had a place like this in Los Angeles, it would be a total hit.

If you're looking for a cool casual fun place to eat/drink or hang out with a retro theme, you have to check this place out. It's open 24/7. This is an American diner-style restaurant. It has a unique gas station theme, with classic cars, memorabilia, and a vintage vibe. They offer American comfort food like burgers, pizza, pasta, and hearty breakfast plates but surprisingly their Filipino favorite dishes are so good. Ordered the hipon (shrimp) sinigang & the sizzling squid. Both were so good. Loved the sauce on the squid. Loved all the veggies in the sinigang especially the okra & kangkong (watercress/morning glory). This place is great for casual dining and late-night cravings. They have a bar for those who want to enjoy a drink while soaking in the retro aesthetic. I stopped in here twice during my stay in the area. I also tried their chicken & waffle. It was really good too. I wish I tried their desserts but I was too full both times. They have merchandise to purchase as well if you need souvenirs. Staff were friendly.
