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.

At that time there were maybe 200+ Bars in Olongopo? Chances are I was in every one of them including this one in the 16 month's I was there which then probably was a bar but of course under different management and name? I didn't do a hell of a lot then besides drink gallons of Beer on what we called the strip? I see by this particular one it is located in that area exactly where I habituated ? Now looking back on it the remark which comes to mind and fits most appropriately is it is said youth is a wonderful thing too bad it is wasted on the young? quote by Mark Twain. This particular bar is located exactly in the right place or is that the wrong place depending on your point of view I suppose? How about 5 stars for a misspent youth? *****! ''thank you''

The reason for the 3 stars was everything else. This includes the food and the service. It felt to me like ordering food was a bit of a nuisance. First they did not have all of the item menus and the food I did order ( beef dish ) tasted like fish. I only ate the rice and the rest of the food sat on the table and enjoyed the band as well. The wait staff also seemed like they didn't want to be there. Also I noticed that there was no female wait staff, at least not on Tuesday. Not saying they should or shouldn't.... I just find it a little weird. So the restaurant gets a 1.5. Overall. I would go there again with a full stomach. Bands like freestyle and south border are worth it.

Round and round we went. Gotta have my 2 bottles of Red Horse Stallion beer. The place I frequent…read moreclosed their location and this was the next best thing. This place is not eye catching. I've passed by it many times. This time in my desperation, I got off the car and checked it out up-close. The place is big. You walk into the main dining area which is covered and open to the outdoor. They have an upstairs with a few tables, and 3 private lounge areas that can accommodate up to six people. The rooms are separated by partitions that can be opened to accommodate 20+ people. They have a good selection of food and drinks. The food is good. Growing up having two grandparents who are kapampangan and VERY great cooks, so when I say good, it might be an understatement. This place is a must try if you like to kick back, enjoy company, have a few drinks. Okay, one draw back. They have bug zappers and makes a little firecracker sound that go off constantly. I will suggest they use citronella oil or candle.

It was such a coincidence that I was at Back to the 90's yesterday and it was apparently--Hashtag:…read moreThrowback Thursday. My friends from Concerned Artists of the Philippines in UP held a back to back gig of two independent bands there last night (Plagpul and KALIS), so I passed by and gave my support. It was my first time in this bar but I already knew about it for quite some time; it's Back to the Future signage along Tomas Morato, corner E. Rodriguez is simply hard to miss. I was curious at first to see what it's like inside Back to the 90's, only to find out that it's actually no different from most bars ideal for gatherings of independent bands and the underground music scene. The only difference with Back to the 90's is practically, its 90's theme. You will definitely see a lot of Throwback posts on their walls because of the framed movie and music posters from the 90's era. Haha! What a virtual way to describe it, but I would rather stick to such description than say nostalgic because I simply did not get the feel. I was born 1991, so I really wasn't able to get a glimpse of how bars then were like. Although, when I asked some of my older friends there, they said that 'yes, this is actually a recreation of a 90's bar.' What I like about it, is it's cozy but rock and roll ambiance that went well with its small, vertical space; comfortable couches are leaned against graffiti walls showcased by dimmed pin lights. They also have a very cute menu placed in an old school CD case where they offer alcoholic beverages and bar dishes like Nacho's, Fries, Buffalo Wings, etc. Although, I wasn't able to have a taste of any because I was a little broke last night (P200.00 per order), and their selections were not really that inviting, the waiter said that their best seller is the Tapsilog. Overall, it was an OK bar for me. I would go here if good bands will be playing but probably not for a usual late night chill or beer nights.

I've been an avid goer of gigs since 2007 and even started my own production company in 2009, but…read morebelieve it or not, I only started frequenting Route 196 in 2014. Of course, I would watch gigs there from time to time, but because I live in Makati and parking can get difficult, I used to get too lazy to go all the way to Katipunan. Since my first gig in April 2014, I'm probably there almost once or twice a week. It even came to a point that I was there four times in one week! Yes, parking can be difficult, but with Mak around, he's sure to find a decent and safe parking spot for you. Once you park, you pay an entrance fee to Ryan, who at times often tease me already. (See? I go there waaaaay too much.) There are times though that entrance is free. Usually for Rockeoke nights, which I've honestly never been to, but come on. Karaoke with a live band backing you up and everyone drunk enough not to judge your horrible singing? Come on. That's got to sound inviting. From time to time, I buy a bottle of scotch that is served to me by my favorite waiter, Mark. If you're a fan of How I Met Your Mother, just imagine Mark as Linus. He never leaves my glass empty! My friends and I have actually gotten close to the waiters,(and by close I mean, Facebook friends and commenting on each others' posts), that we would often tease each other with little inside jokes. On Tuesdays they have drink all you can for P300 on certain cocktails and every night they have buy one take one on pizza until 8 or 9 pm. If you're feeling cheap, go for those two options, but if you're really hungry, try the deviled chicken or deviled tofu with a serving of rice, which by the way, is not even expensive at all! If you're not a fan of spicy food though, try their other pizzas or their rice bowls. Basically, Route 196 has everything I need when I go out: good food, great staff and brilliant music. And of course, an unlimited amount of cheap drinks!

Most big names of the independent art scene frequent Route 196, if not for their own events, for the crowd. Route attracts writers, independent thinkers, music aficionados, filmmakers, and patrons of the underground community. Events I've attended here include Stereodeal's album launch, GeekFight! Trivia Night, Deus Sex Machina, a gig with indie bigwigs Bullet Dumas, Ebe Dancel, and Johnoy Danao, and a fundraiser for a dance film. Route may be a bit difficult to get to, with no direct commutes, but it doesn't stop the crowds from going out of their way to get there. The lure of the culture of Route 196 is just too strong.

Zapps is probably the closest thing there is, but it gets old to go to the same place over & over. Our group of 6 decided to grab a table upstairs that oversaw the stage and the tables below. We ordered several buckets of beer, but I wanted to have some hard alcohol. None of their cocktails were available, but of course, I could order a full bottle. I was the only one drinking hard liquor so didn't order a whole bottle. I can't imagine too many in Cabanatuan ever ordering bottles so I don't understand why they wouldn't sell single shots. The service is also really slow. It took forever to hunt down a server and many times they would forget what we would order. The only saving grace here was the performers. They band played some great sets and the DJ played a good dance mix. He kept the crowd going even though it was 90% male.
