    We entered the bar before 8 and it seems we are too early as there are yet no people. The band will start singing at 10 so we had our dinner first. Staffs are all attentive and accomodating, all our requests and orders came on time. Foods are good and we enjoyed the night!

    Came to see Armi Millare perform but was disappointed at the way the venue accommodates patrons. You spend 600 pesos for door charge to then stand to the far side of the stage where you can't even see the performance. Every other space is taken over by tables, which start from 4000 pesos. For most of the gig our view was blocked by the bass guitarist (not his fault) but it's clear the venue doesn't really care about supporting quality live music experience, they just want to maximize profit.

    On a Wednesday night, Side A was playing. There’s a P500/person fee just to get in the place. No problem. But To get a table for 5 they want us to pay 8K. But we just want to watch the band with few drinks. So we asked what other options we have since we’re already full and we don’t think we can consume 8K for food and drinks(I’m with my sisters that don’t really drink much). The receptionist told us to just stand, literally just stand by the entrance reception at the side of the stage. Okay lang kayo?! We bounced. And told all my friends about this.

    Service is bad. Ordered sisig, inahaw platter and shawarma pizza. Arrived (sisig only) after more than 2 hours, countless follow ups. May isang waiter told us pina prioritise nya na sa kitchen and this was almost 2 hours na of waiting and yet the only waiter (waitress) who was very helpful is Jessie. She was the only person who told us, hindi nila nakuha yung order sa kitchen (after 2 hours and countless follow ups!) The only reason i’m giving 2 star is Jessie. Should hire more people like her.

    Horrible venue. - Not sure how a “music hall” could have such bad acoustics - Waaaay off schedule - Cancelled our reservation even though we arrived early - Some orders don’t arrive at all

    Definitely a giant thumbs up for the staffs of 12 Monkeys! They're fast and very attentive. Food wise, they have a good selection of drinks and food so you dont have to worry going there hungry. But the greatest thing about going here are the live bands. They have different bands everyday and sometimes there could be more than one performing. And the bands are really good! So if you feel like drinking and wanted some good music - this is the place to be!

    They have a sign out front that says no door fee but to get a table it costs 4000 pesos. Seems a bit silly and I haven’t encountered this in any other country. we just wanted a few drinks and to watch some live music. There wasn’t even anyone inside either, maybe two tables at around 10pm. I guess this is just not the spot.

    Went here during Wolfgang’s performance. Food is great, nothing remarkable on the palabok pizza though. Awesome crowd, cozy vibes, staff are very attentive, everything about the experience is good… well, almost. After Wolfgang’s performance, we were ready to go and asked for our bill, we waited for almost an hour and nobody came. even after several follow ups, nobody went to our table. We went to the door and told the doorman that they better give us our bill or else we’re going out without paying. That caught their attention but then it took us another half an hour to get my card back. I went to their bar near the cashier standing there looking foolish, waiting for my card. I was really concentrating hard so as to control myself and not make a scene. Good thing one of my friends approached their staff and again follow up our receipt and my card. I know there are lots of guests during that time but to make us wait for more than an hour is too much that it ruined what could have been a great night for us.

    P600 entrance, no drink, no table. Tables are reserved for those who paid the P4,000 consumable. Take note that the 4k consumable still doesnt include the P600 entrance fee. To top it all of, those who paid the 600 entrance will be forced to stay in a very small space beside the exit.

    We’ve been to their previous locations and we are happy that they opened again. The set up is very similar to the one in Makati before. Good performers and the food is better than similar places.

    This place charged us 700 ₱ at the door and gave us the choice to either stand by the CR at the entrance to watch the concert or cram like sardines in a tiny area by the stage. The cheapest table was 4000 ₱ (which was still far from the stage) and a beer will cost you 180 ₱. You can expect to spend thousands of pesos if you just want to listen to a concert and sit at a table with a drink. Elitism at its finest! The sound acoustics are terrible too. I won’t be coming back.

    Good place to hang out. Food is that that pricey. However, beverages are. As expected, also on a premium pub.

  • 5/5 Ronell M. 4 years ago on Google
    Overall experience is awesome. Top artists perform in this bar without the door charge for some days. You just have to spend a minimum of 3,500 php per table which is very reasonable for the class that it gives. Food is just OK, it will get you full but not to the point that you will go there for a sumptuous dinner. We will definitely go back in this place for some R&R after the Monday to Friday grind.

    One of the better venues in Manila for live music from local bands. This place is a little more upscale than the others but offers better food, a better venue, a better sound system and overall a better crowd. It's got basement parking too which makes it convenient. The bands that play here range between famous and up and coming.

    First, the 4 seat tables are horrible. Enough room for 2 people between tables, not 4. Next, sight lines are terrible, some jughead in the table in front of you has ears that stretch from stage left to stage right, you wont see the band. So, people spill out into the aisle and block people walking through. So greedy. Next, for some reason sandals are not allowed. Why? Not mentioned in any communication. Next, GCash is not taken for payment. Cash or CC only. Not mentioned in any communication. Unless you are willing to pay 8000-12000, don't expect to be able to see and enjoy the band. So greedy.

    We had our account/project year end party celebrated at the said venue. I won't be able to provide honest feedback as food and drink had been paid for and a program had been set up. The live band and DJ was awesome though 🙂

  • 1/5 Vic Francis C. 2 months ago on Google • 3 reviews New
    The welcoming vibe, the live band's music fills the air with energy, and the lively crowd adds to the overall fun. However, the food is disappointingly disgusting, presenting a stark contrast to the otherwise enjoyable experience. :(

    Food great place to tambay and enjoy great music. Foodwas actually also great. I think I was too close to the speakers (we had the second table from the stage) but felt like my eardrums were half dead by the end of the night 🤣😅 overall I love that they’re keeping the music alive ❤️

  • 3/5 Moyu F. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s a good place to chill and relax but best to get a table with a group of friends. Minimum table PHP 3,000 (1-4 seats) which includes the entrance fee and consumables but you’re on a budget and just want to watch the band then only pay the entrance fee. Fees varies depending on who’s playing I think 🤔. Note that you won’t get much attention from the waiting staff if you’re standing as the big money comes from the tables. All in all experience was great and will keep supporting the bands (big time or not) that plays there.

    Great ambience. Food is good. Probably not for the Titos and Titas if you’re watching a live gig. Unless you have seat reservations, you’ll be standing up the whole time, rubbing elbows with strangers, without a good view.

  • 4/5 Khara U. 4 years ago on Google
    Book your tables fast because they go fast once announcements of gigs start. They allow standing room for certain gigs. So make sure you line up early. Waiters are fast. And attentive.

    (Translated by Google) It is expensive to buy the accommodation fee is 700 - 1000. Then the more you grow the bill. Additional chair is 500. All prices are exclusive of service return fee plus 10% service fee. It is too expensive then the table is not well kept for you. It is very far from the front and in front of the comfort room. It smells bad. By the way beer is 120 / pcs plus 10% = 132.00 a beer. Haist ung band 2 set lng ung performance (Original) Mahal bilihin ang accomodation fee is 700 - 1000. Tapos pag madami kau mas lumalaki ung bill. Additional chair is 500. All prices are exclusive of service fee bali plus 10% service fee. Masyadong mahal taposbhindi maganda ung reserved na table sa inyo. Masyadong malayo sa banda and nasa harap ng comfort room. Nakapaka baho.

    In my 25 years travel in Philippines this is worst place i ever been. Intrance fee 500php okey thats normal in good places. But the half of the meny was not available. When the food arrived it was cold. The waiter was slow. The only thing to applues is some of the singer. Never go there

    This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and the staff is also really cool and friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about (Yung Nag assist samin Kukunin ko sya as my staff ang galing sa sales talk Ni Ms Budolera Jessica 😂), and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good and for their prices it’s 100% worth it! 1000 stars for 12monkeys!
