I am a big fan of drinking with friends after a long day at work. Whenever I have to work in Makati, I make it a point to check out a new bar or, if I want a steady evening, head to one of my favorite happy hour bars. The night I tried out Dillingers I wanted to check out their in-house speakeasy, Prohibition.
I liked Dillingers as soon as I walked in. My friends and I were here on a Thursday night and the place was not packed during their happy hour (more drinks for us!). Apart from the selection of liquor and cocktails, they serve bar food and meat dishes too. We didn't order food this particular night because we wanted to just drink the whole night. :P
Before we trying the happy hour, I got my wish and I was able to check out Prohibition. We went brought to the back and our server opened a "secret door" for us. The moment you enter, you will be wow-ed by the impressive display of whisky. The place is very swanky. Seriouslyyy. It's like you entered another bar entirely. Plus, I love that they have an outdoor area. Very chill place to hang. However, the drinks here are way more expensive than the drinks at Dillingers. So, we went back to the "normal" bar.
The atmosphere and ambiance of Dillingers is like a sophisticated English pub. They have shelves full of books, dim lighting and leather seats. My type of place, cozy with a manly feel. Their happy hour ends at 8PM but they can extend a bit. Just ask for their happy hour list and order away! It's basically about Php200 for 2 cocktails or beers. Go for the sweet cocktails, those are pretty strong!
Great place to just chill, chat, and drink after a long day at work. :) read more
