This place is way overpriced and on top of that they have bizarre extra fees too…read more Drinks and food are just ok. Views are nice: basically a rooftop city skyline. But for the high price, the quality, quantity and services are seriously lacking. They also have strange extra-charges. For example if you ask the left-over food boxed they will charge you a substantial fee for that! We had never seen or heard of such policy anywhere else and they don't inform you of such bizarre fee in advance either! The humidity and pollution don't help this place either. Will not go back and don't recommend it.

Probably one of my favorite bars in the whole of Manila! When I want to have drinks after work or a…read morenightcap after a late dinner, I will most probably end up at The Bar. Interiors are beautiful and cozy. The leather chairs, central bar, and decor take you to another world where you can enjoy your classic cocktail, scotch, or wine in utter opulence. The staff are always efficient and helpful when serving and suggesting drinks if you are feeling a little adventurous. Try the Negroni 1919 or the Espresso Martini. Good selection of wines too and a decent repertoire of Single Malts (for a price!). Bar chow is available too if you feel like you need more than the refillable snacks they serve you. It's also the perfect place to have an intimate conversation or a casual meeting. Cigar smokers and smokers alike will enjoy the fact that you can smoke here (sorry non-smokers!). Price points are expensive compared to your average bars or speakeasies but you're at The Peninsula after all. The overall feel is nostalgic, classic, and definitely for those who enjoy high quality cocktails and drinks in a place that makes you feel like you're transported to a bar in Cuba with different world music playing in the background.

Pretty affordable if you're converting USD to PHP but likely very expensive for locals If you're on a local salary. I've been to actual speakeasies in the US that survived Prohibition era and they don't quite have the same feel--for starters, the building is new, there are no secret doors or hidden basements, there isn't a password or secret code to get in or antique version of the menu, no history about how the place survived when it was illegal to sell and distribute alcohol. Despite not having the culture and history behind it, it is still a very good experience and would highly recommend for the drinks and ambiance.

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.

There are poor kids begging outside. I just look away and say Hindi Hindi Hindi (no no no) and keep walking. Inside there were girls singing American songs all with choreography and smiles.

I would totally recommend this place for, as a said, a great view of the sunset. The food was pretty good - great poke. The food, however, is much smaller portions than the other restaurants in the hotel, and we found that we were still hungry after finishing our meal. But the food itself was great! Drinks were hit or miss - my husband loved his cocktail, but mine was so bad I didn't even drink it. If looking for drinks, I'd prefer Sofitel's other restaurant - Le Bar - over this one. With that said, I gave Sunset bar a 4 star because the view really is spectacular to watch the sunet.

I was staying in the hotel and came down to use the pool. Before that, I thought it would be nice to come here for cocktails and a snack. The cocktails were nice looking but had almost no alcohol whatsoever. We sent one back, which they tried to charge us for later. They ended up taking it off after we complained, but I'm shocked that they thought it was acceptable. They are charging foreigner prices here but without the foreigner quality. We also ordered a seafood appetizer, which is overpriced even high-end standards for the amount of food we received. The quality of the food was not high-end either. The service was lacking as well. Initially, we walked up to the bar and noticed it was covered in a fine layer of dust. Really? So many employees and no one could be bothered to wipe it down? We ordered, and decided to sit at a table. The table was also covered in a layer of dust. We called someone to come clean it, and it took almost 15 minutes before anyone returned to wipe it. The lady who wiped it handled the cloth like no one had ever asked her to wipe the table before. She also did not provide us with complete sets of utensils. Eventually, someone else figured it out. It took forever to get our watered down drinks, and even more, time to get the food, which was a huge disappointment. After this, we vowed not to eat anywhere on the property. If a restaurant at a supposed 5-star resort cannot provide adequate service, or even decent food and drink, how are you supposed to trust anything else?
