Vibe is great. There is a “quiet” dining section if you don’t want that loud music from the DJ. Lots of unique food selection and craft beers. Expect to get slow service though specially at weekend nights when there are lots of party goers. Great bar. Will try again for sure.

We recently visited Alamat, a Filipino bistro located in Poblacion. The restaurant focuses on showcasing Filipino pride through its tribal and ancestral cuisine, as well as craft drinks. We chose to wait on the balcony while waiting for a friend, and although the ambience and music were enjoyable, it was uncomfortably hot in that area, possibly due to its proximity to the road. Once inside, the unique decor, featuring star-shaped lights made of Capiz shells, intricate cement walls, and folklore murals, transported us to a different world, reminiscent of a grandmother's ancestral house it truly provided a break from the bustling city. As for the food,I highly recommend trying the Poblechon sisig, which includes their own lechon belly, pork ears, 63-degree eggs, red onions, and green chili. Another standout was the bagnet platter, consisting of bagnet chips, thick-cut bagnet, sukang alamat, served with coconut-crab fat sauce and lechon sauce. Both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. Moreover, Alamat is renowned for its selection of locally sourced craft beers from various regions in the Philippines. So I decided to try their “De Futa Madre” craft beer, which had a strong coffee liqueur aftertaste. This bold and intense malt beer, with an alcohol content of up to 8%, might be overwhelming for those new to craft beers- like me. I recommend pairing it with dishes that have intense flavors. If you're not looking to spend too much on craft beers in one night, you can opt to try them individually. Overall, the food at Alamat Pub was sinfully delicious, offering a taste of the forbidden. Cheers to Alamat for championing Filipino cuisine and providing a unique dining experience

Just went to this place, and loved it! Love the vibe, love the food, love the drinks, love the service. At first I thought it was gonna be one of those pricey places with small food servings, but was surprised when our order came. Their bestseller Beef Belly Bistek was wonderfully tender and the flavor well-balanced, and the solo size can actually feed 2-3 people. But I was hungry so I devoured it all! Haha Will definitely go back there, and I highly recommend this place. 👍

Third time in this spot and never fails to surpass expectation! Each dish and drink is well thought of, unique, and full of flavor. Really celebrates good Filipino cuisine! Had their new dishes and I loved the Beef Belly Bistek and Crispy Pork Binagoongan. Craft beers are always PFF the hook and their Tito Sangria is one of the best I've had. Also appreciate the improvement they did on the al fresco area. Nice ambiance and friendly staff. Highly recommended, can't wait to be back!

Ambience is good, the selection of music is a vibe. Staffs are attentive and helpful. Good food and drinks. You can enjoy the place if you come early as it gets busy after 8pm. Must try - Mushroom Chicharon

A little insight into Filipino culture — Filipino words are tricky in the sense that one word can have variable meanings depending on the layer of nuance it refers to. Alamat - is a noun that means legend but in slang is used as an adjective. A person who is an alamat cannot just be mundanely cool, he has to be outlandishly awesome or über cool! Alamat Filipino Pub & Deli certainly lives up to its moniker with Filipino originality at its best, showcasing local ingredients and serving unique takes on ingredients we usually associate with everyday cooking staples. Their signature kalamansi mojito and Salabatman (made of Salabat or ginger) did not disappoint! Again, the play with words is evident - it can mean salabat man (ginger man) or a fun mix of the word salabat + batman. Either way, its a fun way to mess with your mind! What is even more admirable is their foray into creating a signature liquor - the Sirena (Mermaid) Blue Pea Gin - it has a periwinkle blue shade from a local flower known as the Asian pigeonwings or blue pea (Clitorea ternatea, yes, the scientific name is real..) and has hints of orange peel, lavender and cardamom. Take it straight with a slice of citrus and watch it turn into a nice shade of purple! This would make an awesome pasalubong for tourists and balikbayans who want to bring a piece of the Philippines wherever they may be in the world. Just like a legend, Alamat will stay in your collective consciousness as a go-to bar when you’d like to do a bar crawl along Don Pedro St. in Poblacion. Head next to their sister bar Agimat because I know I will.

Best cocktails and they now offer vegan friendly food! Love it!

food looks amazing, staff are lovely, the beer selection is wonderful but it’s way overpriced ... then in addition to those high prices they surprise you with adding VAT (tax). I want to give 2.5stars, but that’s not possible here.

I love when Filipino roots are honored, even if just in theme. We need more places like this. The modern takes on traditional dishes, cocktails, and craft beers are tasty. I came here for Harry Potter Trivia Night and I'm coming back for their food and drinks! Service was quick and attentive.

Lovely food here and the beer selection was really good. Can get a 3 beer taster and try some out. Friendly staff and good service overall

Nice music and atmosphere. Staffs were attentive and friendly. Food was great. Loved the “white chick” gin cocktail. We also tried some craft beers and it was great.

Really enjoyed Alamat! The food was fantastic and the drinks too. I had a cocktail and shooter. I enjoyed seating outside as it gave me the views as I ate my meal.

The place is small and cozy. Good if you want something intimate and chill that doesn't become overwhelming if there's plenty of people. Most of the drinks are averaged price for Poblacion, but there are a few menu items that can be pricey per serving. All in all a very enjoyable place. A place I will have no problems coming back to.

One of the best speak-easy's in Makati. Excellent food and cocktails. 5 stars!

This is a very Filipino pub. They serve local craft beers and have a variety of Filipino food with a twist! I particularly liked the Smoked Malasugi Kinilaw! The ambiance is really nice! Will surely be around again soon.

The Crispy Pork is super nice , skin of the pork is very “bok bok” King Oyster Mushrooms Sisig and the crispy chicken skin is soooooo yummy. Can try and never regret !

Good place with have local Filipino cuisine. Very relaxed chill vibe.

Really exciting riffs on Filipino classics here. I like the smallish tapas sizes, which make it possible to sample various items. The emphasis on Philippine craft beer exclusively is great, although the 12-14 offerings were mostly IPAs and lagers. Maybe the list will be more diverse next time. Funny, attentive waitstaff as well. The space is cozy, so try to avoid bringing large groups

Amazing, very vibe-y place. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food and drinks were excellent and fairly priced (drunken halo halo is a must try!). Great place to hangout with friends and family!

The Taho cheesecake is nice. The combination of both the syrup and tapioca matched the creaminess of the cheesecake. We also tried the chocolate cake which we did not like. Its served warm but there's something wrong with the consistency of the cake. They have cocktails with a touch of Filipino flavors try it. There's also craft beers on tap. Enjoy Alamat with the company of your friends and unmet friends.

Food is so good! It ain’t cheap, but it’s so good. You’d really know it’s well-made the moment your tastebuds try it. They turned ordinary Filipino dishes extraordinary with modern culinary techniques. So fun to watch their mini shows when their bartender concocts drinks.

Went to Alamat on a fine saturday night. Definitely alot of people. We got several drinks and pulutan. Craft beers: Blonde ale from paranaque Kiwi fruit beer from baguio Lager beer from pampanga Dalandan juice Tamarind candy cocktail Overall all drinks are okay. For pulutan or snacks, we got the following: Indi chips with cheese dip - very good combination Slated egg chicken skin - too sinful, cant really taste the salted egg. Just normal.

Delicious food, great place to catch up with friends and lots of different filipino fusion of cocktails and beers! Parking available on the streets surrounding with assisted parking men DJ inside, great vibe and great start to the night! Thank you!

Hands down one of the best bars in poblacion to come up! The food is simply delicious and outstanding service. The place has upgraded to a whole new level. Definitely going back again soon!

Alamat before was very small, but the renovation and the expansion as well as new management makes the place feel more welcoming and definitely it's a great step out from ordinary life when you come here because of the great location and almost hidden aesthetic from outside!

Good Place! Kraft Beer was good!

The only place I would want to enjoy Filipino craft beer and unique Filipino food!

Mouthwatering food, quality drinks, and dope interior design. This place is a vibe

So nice.

The food is really good, each dish goes really well with all the different craft beer that they serve. The sweet, salty and rich flavors come out well with the total ambiance. My favourite spot is the outdoor area by the tree.

Alamat's food and service is top notch! Definitely worth every penny.

I really like this place and the selection of good local beers. I’m still new to exploring it but I’m enjoying. The food is great! Sometimes a little salty but I should ask the staff next time to reduce the salt. See you again guys

It's a nice place and many people around

Nice selection of beers, but they add service charge and tax to the price on the menu, which is a bit misleading and annoying.

ALAMAT'S revamped menu is absolutely DELICIOUS! My personal favourites are the pandan salmon belly and sangig chicken. And they go perfectly with any of their rices!!! Can't wait for the next opportunity to dine-in at Alamat again!

A good place to hangout when you want a quiet place to chill with friends. The craft beer is good as well as their service.

Went here last night. We were enticed by the Filipino themed drinks - sisig shots, pandan g&t, etc. However, after 2 drinks it felt like there was no alcohol in our drinks. To make matters worse, we were a group of 8 cramped in one of the booth in the al fresco area. We repeatedly asked for an extra chair and the manager refused until we begged for the nth time. By the time they gave a the chair, we were fed up. This refusal was surprising because there were 4 other empty tables beside us. To add, we had an existing reservation since Monday and when I asked to add 2 more people to our original reservation, they asked for a 500/fee per head. Yet, they refused to give us a chair. Weird experience, we felt scammed. Not frequenting this bar again.

Chill place for pinoy food & cocktails. Kinda pricey but the serving is huge 👌

Experience was 💯 def a place you can go with friends, family or special someone. Not crowded. I love their mojito btw. Just make sure that you call in for a reservation.

Awesome Pinoy eats & craft beers. Located above the bustling streets of Poblacion, the restaurant provides great value.

Food is good and top notch A filipino modern twist. No Local drinks. But flavored beer is great.Not a place to get drunk.

We really enjoyed Alamat. The food was excellent and each dish provided a unique twist to Filipino cuisine. The craft beers are great. 'Take Me to Your Leader' at 9.8% ABV may be the best beer name ever (we had the Session Ale).

Wide selection of cocktail drinks and craft beers. Just a little too pricey on the craft beers (compared to other bars). Ambiance is good.

Ordered Pork liempo super tender and tasty mushroom sisig did not disappoint either the binagoongan can use a little more spice

I had their flight and had their Dalamdamn and it was amazing! The atmosphere is great!

Delicious crispy sisig and malambot bistek. Very different from traditional flavors but the twist is great on both. Gulaman was also good. Service was great, and outdoor venue is safe and well-decorated. Very nice twist on modern Fil cuisine. If i were to improve one thing, bring out dishes quicker and hotter because it was almost lukewarm when we got served them.

10 out of 10 on everything at Alamat tonight! The food was delicious, the drinks were magic! 🤩 Special thanks to Kiko and Richard for their unique friendliness and charm! 😍 We recommend this place 110 percent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

they have their own awesome beer concoction , curated drinks 😊 reasonably priced and i like the ambiance it was cozy and not too crowded and the best was it has a distinctive Filipino touch 💗👍👍👍

Nice selection of beers. Mediocre sausages.

Great Beer!

Great Beer

I love the concept of this laidback pub in Poblacion. The cocktails served at this place have interesting names such as Tikbalang, Kapre Barako, Aswangria and Salabatman. What makes this place stand out from the rest is its friendly staff. Everyone knows how to keep guests happy and satisified. Most of them even know how to speak Bisaya to accommodate Bisayas like me 🍸 Highly recommended! Take note though, that the place can get crowded right away. There are only few seats available in the first floor and the rooftop area.

(Translated by Google) Good atmosphere. The majority of customers are locals (Original) Bonne ambiance.majorité des clients sont des locaux

I think the braised beef Kansi was the tastiest meal I have ever had. A must try for foodies.

really trendy place, great atmosphere for friends to gather and grab some unique drafts or cocktails. the food had a delicious smell, however decided not to eat there because we saw two massive cockroaches in the restaurant and the bathrooms had a potent unclean smell which is unfortunate because they are located at the entrance of the restaurant.

I really loved the atmosphere at Alamat, it's small but vibey. They have a large selection of beers on tap (mostly local), as well as very interesting cocktails (I recommend the Samelonmig... You're welcome). They also serve some great snacks :)

Cool place. Nice place to chill Service is Great!👌👌 Must visit 👌👍🏻

Ordered Bacon Bagnet, Isawan, Bagoong Rice and Samelonmig. Excellent F&B. Very friendly and accommodating staffs.

Good modern Filipino cuisine with a lot of craft beers to choose from! Came here with my cousins from New York amd obviously lived it. Quite a cramped place though so if you're a big party, better go early or reserve!

Nice place to have few beers after work. Foods are good. Thou chairs aren't the most convenient but tolerable.

it is as if you are one of the extras in a locally produced films---or might as well, among the main casts. every nook and cranny of this place is adorable and it's always pregnant with possibilities. anyone can easily strike a conversation with you and won't feel violated (or maybe it's just me and my alcohol)? in the other hand, their menu is as quirky as it tastes (i can only imagine the quirkiness of their cooks themselves) i dunno if i'm making sense here as this place is bound to make you just crazy, well in a good way. me and my friends had a great time here so all i have is: LoveLoveLove

Alamat would always be one of the top of mind places for me for drinks and hanging out but they always, ALWAYS surprise me with their take on Pinoy food and so far it’s been good. Tho it takes a while for the food to arrive, it’s always been worth the wait. And it helps that they have staff that can really explain their dishes well :)

Nice place with a good view of all the drunkards walking around and people being filmed trying balut for the first time. Sisig was crunchy and spicy. Place gets crowded though so if you're a couple of people it may take a while for you to get seats.

A good, relaxing spot to hangout. They have very interesting food and drinks on the menu.

Great local craft beer on tap and amazing food. One of the best bars in the Philippines for craft beer.

Unique Pinoy cocktails and fingerfoods are great! Love this place to hang out and chill

Nice to get a taste of every beer before choosing what to order. Staff were really happy and friendly, too. Chicken skin chicharrones were a great snack to go with our beers.

This place was amazing! The drink selection was pretty extensive and lots of novel options. Loved it.

Great food and drinks! You wouldn't know how it would really taste if you haven't tried each of their "Filipino-inspired" drinks! We tried the SAMELONMIG, TAHO, CALAMANSI MOJITO and the SCRAMBLE! Soooo good! The food selection is 💯 The place might get a little bit crowded especially in the veranda area so make sure you'll get a reservation before you go there. Excellent service! One of the best places in Pobs for a night out!

The cocktails are really good! My top 3 would be aswangria, calamansi mojito, and salabatman. For pulutan, try the kamote chips. Ambience is nice but it gets loud when the performers do their sets.

Alamat has a creative menu, delicious cocktails, friendly service and a great rooftop to people watch from. The sisig, pusit, sausage, and bagoong rice were delicious. I didn't love the pinakbet so I'd pass on that one. They also serve a variety of craft beers that we got to sample. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, as it's down to earth - not pretentious at all. Great for date night or if you just arrived in town and want a good meal. Food and drinks presentation was aesthetically pleasing. I wish that there was a place that incorporated this type of creativity into Filipino food back home.

Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Very good ambiance. Food was good and very yummy.

I noticed that everyone did not finish their dishes and the service was excruciating slow

Will definitely come back! Great twist to tried and tested dishes! 🥰❤🤩 awesome ambience too!

Some servings are larger than expected. Expect bar type seating and open air.

Has a great birthday time here.

Nice vibe, great atmosphere, drinks & food

Nice music, ambience and service.. cocktails are not that great, but they have good beers here..

Really good cocktails in a chill rustic open air balcony setting.

Excellent tasting craft beer with enough taps for variety. Great accompanied with the Filipino food. Nice atmosphere and a good place to watch the night life below.

Great drinks and grilled pinakbet. Local ambience

Good ambience. Weird food names

Great ambiance and delicious food and I like their kiwi malt local drink 💕

Busy, young crown with nice friendly staff. Outdoor terrace upstairs is worth visiting.

The place was small as hell, don't pick the spots outside when the weather is hot. what i like about this place was the crew, they were very attentive and approachable.

Love this esp Serena Gin

Love the crafted beers
