I went with a group of friends on a Thursday night. We got there at 8 pm, with the place 80% full. We had a couple of things off the menu in celebration of Chinese New Year, the braised pork and fried fish. Get a serving of rice, these are proper ulam (viand) dishes that require rice. We also had buffalo. Wings, nachos and the chicken nuggets. Everything was delicious. If you're into sweet cocktails, go for the greentini, which has green tea and tequila. The interiors remind me of Leo's Oyster Bar in downtown SF. By the time we ended our meal, it was clear they were understaffed, and it was hard to hear each other over the music and the sound of people talking and laughing. I'd come back for the food and Poblacion's vibe.

Very nice cocktail. The bartender is super good and friendly. It is pricy but the quality is there! You have to add service charge and taxes on top of your drinks. Good to know, that increase the bill quite drastically. Anyways, that was a good time here.

I love it here! My new fave speakeasy in Poblacion. The crowd is late 20s-30s kaya naman di ito place for noisy college kids. Super love din their cocktails.

We arrived about 30mins before closing time, but still got seated and served. The waitress was exceptionally nice to us and even lent me her charging cable for a while. The interior design is trendy and clean, the vibe relaxed and chill. The variety of seatings offers comfort for every kind of butt. Due to the limited time, we just had one drink each, all of them swiftly and professionally mixed and served. My purple ube cream based drink was delicious. Would come again!

Polilya is one of the new one that just opened mid to late last year. What I love about Polilya is that their interior is really good. An IG worthy kind of place. Love the mix and blend of local furniture's. Second in Poblacion I usually end up in a bar that doesn't have enough air-condition. In Polilya they made sure that this is covered. Another thing usually when in a bar you somewhat always expect a dirty toilet but in Polilya they have Ate Cora that made sure a very neat toilet for the customers. Good Job! For the menu, the food choices it's not that too extensive but just the right amount for a bar. I love how they incorporate the delicious of the engkanto beer to some of the dishes. No worry you want taste any alcohol or hits even when thing the dishes. Here are the one that I got to try. 🍴Chips & Dips (160PHP)- a simple pica pica that have a really good dip. The french onion beer dip made magic to this dish. The kind of dip that you'll want to buy if they are selling some. 🍴Fried Pickled Jalapeno (125PHP)- another great bar chow. This time for the peeps who want an extra spiciness in their palate. Dipping it to the cilantro tahini tone down the spiciness a bit a gave a cool feeling. 🍴Ultimate Nachos (275PHP)- the ultimate pulutan. Packed with red bean, avocado, jalapeno, tapa and topped with their delicious meat sauce, salsa and cheddar cheese. I always love nachos. Such a wonderful conversational chips. Hehe. 🍴Zen Chicken Nuggets (250PHP) - this is my fave. A deep fried version of Hainanese chicken. The delicious flavor of hainanese chicken still there but this time with a crunch into it. Served complete with chili, kecap and ginger scallion sauce. Just hainanese chicken should be. 🍴Gangname Style Chicken Wings (210PHP) - Tasty korean chicken wings. Flavorful good. 🍴Bangla Mussels (320PHP) - another fave of mine. Mussels in a coconut curry like sauce. Served with roti for that wiped clean simot sarap sauce ending. If you're a fan of coconut curry you'll surely enjoy this. I think this will also be good with rice. 🍴Fish and Chips (325PHP) - Deep fried cobbler fish fillet and chips. You're typical fish and chips another great bar chow. 🍴Steak Ale Pie (310PHP) - A warm wagyu beef mushroom pie. I enjoyed the delicious meat and the golden crisp pasty. 🍴Grilled Cheese Sandwich - this one is a new item soon to be release. This is one of the best grilled cheese I've had. Love the full flavor of the cheese and for a bonus point the onion marmalade that comes with it was perfect. For Dessert 🍰Deep Fried Apple Pie a la Mode (150PHP)- will remind you of the warm apple pie of that clown but this one is a lot bigger and more delicious. We love it so much that we had to get a round 2 of this. 🍰Grown Up Chocolate Mousse (175PHP)-this one is my fave for dessert. Love the dark bitter chocolate mousse. I love to pair this with the Engkanto Double IPA. For Alcohol 🍺Engkanto Beer - engkanto beer is one of my fave local craft beer. They have really good variety of beer from the light blond ale to super dark stout. My fave of among them are the Double IPA and Calamansi. The double ipa give a sweet note to the beer with just the right amount of kick. The calamansi got a nice citrus flavor and fragrance. You can order their 4 O' Clock flight (280PHP) for a beer taste of your choice. 🍺 Tigrita (280PHP) - this is their tequila cocktail. I think this one will be a good choice for the ladies. Fresh light citrus tequila. 🍺Rum and Coke #2 (365PHP) - this one is not your typical rum coke. I love their version not too carbonated and got that swabe feeling to it. Overall this place is really a good hangout place.Top notch service, food and drinks. Love the overall vibe.

Bartender was very friendly and professional. Drinks were amazing, strong and creative. Beer selection was very tasty. The hot wings were the best I've ever tasted. Highly recommended.

Great place for catching up with friends over drinks and food 😄 Negroni and guavavoom for the win 💯 Unexpectedly, food tastes good too! Will definitely go back!

I would give it a 5 star for the nice ambiance, refreshing drinks and the really unique yummy mousse (which I highly recommend!) if the staff were not pushy to take your another order or always comes to you and ask if you're finished with your drinks. They are nice but just doesn't make you feel comfortable to stay longer without ordering another drink.

✨🍹 Exploring cocktail bars while traveling is an absolute blast! 😍🌍✈️ What I adore is getting to taste unique local ingredient cocktails. 🌺🍍🍯 Check out this gem of a cocktail bar that's offering an incredible variety of drinks featuring intriguing local flavors like Ube, pineapple, honey, and more! 🌈🥥🍓 Oh, and let's not forget about the scrumptious food they serve—it's seriously delicious! 🤤 The vibe here is top-notch too, with a friendly and fun atmosphere that keeps the good times rolling! 🎉💃

The employees are greaaaat!!!! But they need to proactively promote their in-house Engkanto beer on tap. I wasn't able to taste it because we've already drank our fill when I knew they had it.

Came across with friendly pips here. Quite loud, but the DJ is good.

Our group tried six different cocktails, and each one was absolutely amazing. Each drink was beautifully balanced; not too sweet, not too rich, not too bitter, etc. The service was phenomenal, the atmosphere was chill, and the drinks came on banana leaf coasters, which was a fun detail.

very nice vibes the chips super yummy

Service was okay. Food- some had aftertaste that we couldnt eat at all so it became wasted. Atmosphere- went on a saturday it was very crowded and they will really fill it up. Never became the same pre pandemic, maybe time to check other bars na.

Great cocktails and good service, our go to in Poblacion. And Kpob nights are so much fun!

Another one of those bars in Pob that has a cool vibe. Not as crowded as other bars, and the service crew (including baristas) are friendly. They have KPop events from time to time (which I have yet to try). Would definitely come back here to hangout.

Best accommodating bar. Wide range of choices. Best food and drinks. Highly recommended. Please go here especially on Wednesdays.

Cocktails are to die for omg! Never go there on Wednesday k-pop days tho its cringe af lol

Nice place to hang out in, but not really party/dance. The entire night that we were there, were shoved/pulled to make way for their waiters because the place is too small.

Food and Beer was great, place is very comfy. Definitely a place for private occasions.

Great place, good drinks

A bit small but cozy. The food were great. Drinks are nice and unique but few doesn't taste well. Will definitely come back but I should recommend you to reserve seats since it's usually full.

Old Filipino house in the ghetto transformed into a Microbrewery/bar serving up excellent craft beer, cocktails and Filipino themed tapas... Now this place is cool... like real cool!!!

I haven’t seen my hiking buddies for months and since half of them is from the south we all decided to meet halfway aka Makati area. One of my friends wanted to try this out. I have to commend how nice they setup was. The mismatch designs for tables, chairs and decorations added character to the place. I even liked the plates they used for whimsical. For me, they have limited items on their menu and even their drinks are limited. Food was delicious but the serving was small and are pricey.
