I consider that to be a rip-off. *The Owner/Manager is very dismissive of any critical comments. Read the reviews from others and you'll see.

    An attractive looking bar with OK live music. Beer (Pilsen) was P120 rather than the usual P100 so a little expensive. Service best described as appalling, lethargic and slow. Sat at bar and after 15 mins had not been able to order anything. Eventually had to shout at staff which was rude but the only way to get a beer. Place was busy but not packed. Requested a menu but this never arrived. Eventually, another customer took pity on me and fetched one somehow in a few seconds. Decided food would probably take a few years to arrive so went elsewhere to eat so cannot comment on food quality but it looked expensive. This could be a good bar but desperately needs a professional manager to address the ghastly service which, smply put, was unacceptable.

    One of the best places I've been at. They are serving generous amount thats worthy off the price you payed. Drinks could be a bit expensive as they do not offer liquors in bottles except for beer and such.

    It's really nice there but the food it is overpriced. It is a very interesting place. I met people from all over the world , from Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Finland, UK , Canada and yes , the USA. They have a nice pool table and a selection of cues but it costs extra something like 15 or 20 pesos. They have a pretty decent happy hour with free rounds bought by the bar occasionally and they give you numbers for a raffle later on and you can spin the wheel in win things.

    They did not have the fish & chips on the menu, couldn't serve me the beer they had advertised at the bar, and the recorded music was too loud for any kind of ambience. Very strange experience for a restaurant.

    Excelent pub close to Robinson Plaza (Manila), live music, good food and a wide range of drinks.

  • 2/5 Christopher M. 6 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    PHP 300 for the smallest measure of Bailey's I have ever seen. Also overcharged by PHP100 for a beer,bar staff were not happy when I pointed it out and very reluctantly corrected their 'mistake'. The owners reply is what I would expect,says it all really. We also went to Dusk till Dawn,which was great only PHP195 for a sizeable Bloody Mary,and The Duck Inn where a very nice Margherita was also only PHP195. Both of these places were welcoming as was LA Cafe,all much better options than G-Point.

    Great Barr to hang out at with lots of fun activities happening. Only downer is the craft beer, it's pretty bad.

    Every time I visit Manila the G point is a place I always head for. It's a nice little well ran bar located very close to the manila lotus hotel. The have some nice evening bar food and do a nice buffet in the afternoon. Best time to go in happy hour as a bucket of San Miguel is half price. Toilet is a wee bit small especially when busy, it can be difficult to get in and out. They have live music nightly and a nice little pool table area. Be careful if you are have a few beers, I've had staff add on extra charges by the end of the night. If someone leaves without paying they need to make it up so they may add this to your receipt. Trick is, fill in your total every time as the staff generally leave this blank at the end where you sign for that purpose, so be careful 👍

    Food is unimpressive. Beer 20 Pesos above the going rate. Weird Manager. Give this joint a miss and go some place else.

    Delicious Swedish/Finish meatballs! And plank steak Only thing missing is pink finish cider ;-) Last time the owner got cider. I was happy. Now it's on menu but they don't have.... Btw: suncoast imports magners too. Maybe you have better luck with them?

    I love their brunch buffet. different kinds of cuisine for only 299 pesos (around 6 dollars). But the service should be improved and the ambiance is dark.

    I happened by this place while wondering around after going to Robinson's mall yesterday afternoon. Nice little place, friendly atmosphere mostly people enjoying themselves. I had just mist out on the buffet which I hear is good. I just sat and drank chatting with some patrons but spent most of my time outside the bar on a bench they vaping as it’s the bar doesn’t have a smoking area. Too bad, but still a nice place to hang out, play pool and have a drink. Lots of people selling things outside, but they didn’t bother me, actually gave me conversation as I vaped and said “I’m not buying”.

    This is one of my favorite bars in the world! I'm not kidding :-) It is a very fun atmosphere with a nice even mix of foreigners and locals. You can play pool here, food is decent and the staff are nice and fun. They often have drawings for prizes and live music sometimes.

    A place must visit, they have unique foods that everyone would love. They always make sure use fresh vegetables in there servings. Food tastes so good. I can still taste smell each dishes aroma, it’s a good place to have to and visit with your love ones as they will make sure you’ll experience the best of the best. Dine in now.

    Been using G -Point on and off for the last 10 years. Tried the "All you can eat" buffet today, totally blown away by the quality of food, also great value for money only ₱299. Found a picture from August 2012 my first visit, a great night. Recommend G-Point for good food , great atmosphere and cold beer

  • 4/5 Hannes H. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s an expat bar in Ermita and it has the esthetics to match it... however the food I had there was delicious. Plank Steak was great and just like in Sweden.

  • 3/5 Myrtice P. 4 years ago on Google
    It's more of a Bar than a restaurant. Though the food is good it's on the expensive side and took them an hour to serve. We ordered 2 pizza and a chicken platter and it total at 2k+. Its good but expensive. Also the place could use some work. We spotted a cockroach skittering around and could turn your stomach.

    The pizza and beverage are so expensive If I convert the pizza price into RM its around 80 to 90++. Band starts at 11p.m. If you are looking for a proper dinner this is not the place. You can watch live football here. The ambiance was boring at 8p.m
