    This place is like your typical university bar where you can share stories and have a drink or two with your friends. The beverages here are affordable and the food is okay. There arw rice meals and finger foods available. There's a live music performance from time to time but the house music is also okay. There is a restroom but if is not that clean, what would you expect it's a college bar. The place is usually full so I suggest that you go here early.

    Where I'd probably sneak off to in college had it not been for my controlling ex boyfriend. Affordable, with a live band and attentive waiters who notice quickly when you're running out of ice.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Acustica Bistro and I must say, it was a truly delightful experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff and seated at a cozy table with a view of the kitchen. The menu was a fusion of Mediterranean and Latin American cuisine.

    Was caught in the area near UST by the homebound traffic so a friend suggested this place. I was caught by surprise with the pleasant experience. Food and drinks were very good and to top it all the sounds were great. Service personnel are very courteous, the place was clean. Good place to be!!!

    Acustica Bistro is a hidden gem that stole my heart! From the moment I walked in, the cozy and intimate atmosphere captured my attention. The talented musicians took the stage, filling the room with soulful melodies that resonated deep within. The acoustic renditions of popular songs were nothing short of mesmerizing. The staff's warm welcome and exceptional service added to the overall experience. Acustica Bistro is the perfect place to unwind, enjoy great music, and create lasting memories. If you're looking for an unforgettable evening filled with soulful tunes, this is the spot to be!

    one of the main reason why i like this resto bar that they're giving the LGBTQ labeled as safe bar as someone who encounter that some resto bar was issue with them, and I love how the place has a good ambience for people that wanted to chills and fun to enjoy the day that might stressful with them! It was such a good experience indeed that might you won't disappointed.

    Service was good. The drinks (cocktails) taste like what it should be than the other bars we've been but a bit pricey. The crews are good. They gave us a free potato wedges.

  • 2/5 Marc R. 5 years ago on Google
    Small, not clean, (ironically) bad accoustics, crowd is very rough, waiters have to be begged to serve you. Live music is underwhelming. Patrons who swapped in were much more entertaining in fact. If my colleagues planned another trip there, I'd decline

  • 3/5 Igmidio G. 6 years ago on Google
    Meals are actually very decent. Beer is nice and cold. This is a student hangout and they tend to be more noisy. Problem is with an enclosed area the noise can go overboard. I could not have a decent conversation with my company during my visit. Which ironically means in a way that acustica has bad acoustics.

  • 4/5 Amber N. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place, recommend for those who just want to relax and listen to good live music. Theres no parking for cars, but theres some parking nearby. The restroom is clean, lots of big cockroaches though.

  • 5/5 Papa Ahwel P. 6 years ago on Google • 1 review
    Kudos to Acustica! We had our company event in the place and we were so impressed with the friendly service of the staff. The manager was hands-on carefully monitoring our orders which were delivered fairly enough on time. Our gathering was made even more enjoyable with the amazing band performers. The drinks were served cold and surprisingly, the taste of the food surpassed our expectations. Keep it up Acustica and we will surely come back!

    A decent place for drinking with your friends if you're near the area. Both the alcoholic drinks and foods offered were affordable. Good service; staff were friendly and accommodating. The live acoustic performer was good, friendly to his audience, and entertaining. The place needs improvement tho as its interiors were dull and the toilet fixtures need replacement as it has cracks and the drainage smells.

    THIS IS THE BEST BAR IN MANILLA, great vibez and the owners were able to communicate well over the phone (facebook); I came alone and the other customer took me in by their table, so welcoming ..the music is incredible amd intimate or high energy acustic...it's literally all you you ask for...a home away from home
