After Hours Bar

Restaurant Bar

😐 Very nice ambience and decent service but the clue is in the word 'bar' We ordered food but it took 15 minutes for them to realise they could not serve my colleagues requested dish so we started again with a new selection It took a full hour before we were served and my crispy skin salmon was dry... People often mention drinks, cocktails, good, chill, friendly, staff, Hours, night, great, love,

    Very nice ambience and decent service but the clue is in the word 'bar' We ordered food but it took 15 minutes for them to realise they could not serve my colleagues requested dish so we started again with a new selection It took a full hour before we were served and my crispy skin salmon was dry and all the vegetables cold. By friend's food did not arrive with mine so we had to start eating separately. His arrived but it was nothing like the advertised beef bourguignon - it was 5 cubes of overcooked dry beef on some other food with a separate gravy. Awful food They should stop pretending to provide food unless they get a proper chef and focus on what they do best - being a bar

    I was so glad to discover a new bar in the Morato area. After Hours Bar, hands down, has the best cocktails in town! Tried three of their signatures: punch drunk love, carlita (their take on the classic margarita), and “leftovers of the night”. I loved all of them! But especially punch drunk love. The bartender (forgot his name, sorry 🙏🏽) explained to me how they prepare it in order to extract the milk punch. The bar food was equally amazing. Their salpicao is the best I’ve had (and I have eaten a lot of Salpicao!). The bulgogi sliders were amazing too (small burgers with a taste of korean bbq). I was told that they are just on an experimental opening. But if the drinks and food that I’ve tasted are any indication, I think I might have found my favorite bar in QC.

    The food is pretty good. Cozy place. Drink prices are pretty high for a bar in that area—hotel prices. It's their prerogative naman, maybe you can see why that's the case. Me? I can't see why.

    If there is something that Tomas Morato need to have is a chill place to drink. The usual drinking places around the area is pretty noisy and you do not even wanna talk because everything is just so loud. And the bad thing is, this area cannot sustain the drinkers that are more adventurous and does have a hate relationship with commercial beers already. The drinkers now are looking for something that is handcrafted and not to mention, well-curated. And that's what After Hours make a stand-out -- aside from the really really good vibe and great music inside, the first thing you would notice is the bar and the bottles on display. And to your right is the neon lights and chill couches. Entering the said place is not intimidating 'coz you would surely have reasons to stay to either eat or drink or both. They got some beers, whiskey, cocktails, mocktails, wines, barchows and a lot more. But the highlight of my visit would be the following: 1. An ambiance that you could consider as an extension of your living room. - The chairs are so comfy and homey. 2. Them having a Jack Estate M-R Series Pink Moscato - not a lot of places offers this Fruity Moscato which actually suits every type of food that After Hours serves. If you like to drink something that is alcoholic yet for a short time only, this drink is for you. 3. BBQ Beef Pockets - the texture of the wonton pockets is well done, as it could support the meat inside and not to mention, even if its already cold, you could still enjoy it without getting hints of oiliness and crumby wonton wrappers. 4. Buffalo Style Chicken Poppers - as someone who likes a kick of spice but not too much, this is a surprise 'coz while I do not contain myself from eating a lot, I could enjoy the tenderness of the meat. 5. Beef Salpicao - their Salpicao got a balanced taste of garlic -- not overpowering the beef itself. There are also mushroom buttons at the dish as it gives more flavor. Lastly, the meat was really tender and not too greasy.

    Perfect place for people looking for a chill bar in QC. They are well-stocked with leading brands of Whisky and fantastic is an understatement for their well-crafted cocktails! Personal favorites from their cocktails are Leftovers of the Night and Sangria. But what makes it more interesting is that you can always request the bartenders to personalize a drink based on your preference! Food selection is also captivating! Bacon Mushroom Truffle Pasta, Beef Salpicao, Braised Beef Short Ribs and BBQ Beef Pockets are the reasons why I keep coming back!! Will surely come back til I try everything on their food and drinks menu!

    Great ambiance and very helpful and friendly staff. We had the happy hour buy 1 get 1 drinks. For food, the onion rings were delicious! We celebrated our friend’s birthday and had a blast! Definitely a must if you’re looking for a chill bar around the area.

    They follow strict COVID-19 protocols. They have a very accommodating staff. It's a relief that a bar like this is available during this pandemic because I really need a legit cocktail right now.

    My go to bar! Chill during weekdays, chiller during weekends! They have a wide array of drinks (they have the best sangria!) and good food. My first drink here was not even on the menu (I ordered something with chocolate 🙂), and the service you get is superb 🙂🙂 If you need some alone time or a more casual or intimate (or somewhere in between) hangout with yourself or with friends at night, After Hours is your spot!

    If you're planning to have a nice and chill time to cap off the night or looking for a cozy and intimate space to hang out with your friends, After Hours Bar is perfect for you. The staff are all friendly and welcoming, and that Beef Salpicao is just absolutely *chef's kiss*. Definitely worth coming back to again and again.

    Love this place! The vibe was so laid back, music was good, and the bartenders (and drinks) were really nice! They also close pretty late, perfect for late night drinks or hangouts. Tried their sangria carafe, lychee cocktail, gin & shitake mix, and amaretto sour. All good. I'll definitely be back to try more.

    Great atmosphere, vibrant bar with great food. Not all food on menu may meet your taste but the chef will make it right. Not to mention a very comprehensive whiskey bar. Will surely return

    You can celebrate your birthday here. The staff will assist you. They are kind, friendly and accommodating. The organizer of the party already pre ordered and when we arrived, they instantly served us the food. The food taste good. The parking is also good. CR is clean. I really love the bar station and I was amazed by the bartender, he is really amazing! The place was not really big but it's good if you don't want a crowded place and its good if you just want to chill. They also have table outside.

    Visited After Hours Bar during their “dry run” and was pleasantly impressed. The cocktails were particularly delightful and inventive. I loved the punch drunk love. I can’t put my finger on what I was tasting but I was loving every sip of that drink (so damn good!!!). The food was very impressive too! Must-try are the BBQ beef pockets (OMG!), chicken poppers, and the fish tacos (which I gobbled in record time).

    We celebrated my birthday here and the food, drinks, and atmosphere were amazing. The staff took great care of us and really made my birthday special. Shout out to our Ate Abigail for the amazing service and to the whole team for keeping our drinks and food coming! We will definitely be back. The Kare Kare wings and sinigang risotto are must-tries!

  • 5/5 AVS 10 months ago on Google
    They have great happy hour deals (from 6-9 PM!) and a huge bar selection. Delicious cocktails. Truffle pasta and four cheese pizza were good. The place and interiors were lovely. Staff were also very attentive - it was always easy to call their attention. Our server Gisselle was amazing! We walked in without a reservation and at first it seemed like there was no free space inside, but she quickly made a way for us to have a table. She was also super fun and helpful all evening :) Will be back for the awesome service and drinks!

    Great drinks and good food! My go to place and home bar in qc! Staff are friendly, drinks are “solid” and all kinds of food are well prepared. Shout out to our bartenders who never fail to amaze us! Like I said, my go to bar for all occasions may it be a chill night or a night of fun with my friends and family.

  • 4/5 Mayte U. R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drinks and food. My only issue is that most cocktails are sweet so you need to inform the bar tender to remove the syrup or to make it a dry cocktail

  • 5/5 Nick D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to grab drinks. They have a very extensive whisk(e)y menu. Street is sick and friendly and the bar people are very knowledgeable and eager to help direct the suitable drinks. Good selection of Filipino craft beers and cocktails, too.

  • 5/5 Jaime E. 4 years ago on Google
    Chanced upon this newly opened bar when we were looking for a chill nightcap in Tomas Morato. I will say this: This is THE BEST BAR in the Morato area. PERIOD. The cocktails they serve are carefully assembled with the freshest and topnotch ingredients. I like the fact that their pouring liquors are quality drinks. I tried their Negroni (my favorite) and it was splendid. Probably one of the best in the Metro. The food was surprisingly exceptional as well. I love their thin crust pizzas which I was told was made of flour tortillas. But definitely order the Salpicao! The best! Try the Bulgogi sliders as well. Our verdict? We are glad the QC bar scene has been finally upgraded. We don’t have to make the long trip to Makati or BGC to get quality drinks. After Hours Bar is now our go-to bar in the Metro.

    I discovered this bar in February, and I loved it! This is definitely the best bar in QC — outstanding cocktails, great great food, super friendly and accommodating staff, cozy place with parking pa — perfect for a “chill” evening with your friends. I swear they have the best Sangria! I also love their neon lights, and the complimentary mixed nuts 😁😁

    you can't imagine that there is a cocktail bar like this in quezon city to exist. the food is very delicious and you will also be amazed by the cocktails they make. even the servers will explain the cocktails to be served. you can also make your own cocktails based on the taste and blend you want.

    A glowing 5-star review for After Hours bar! I thoroughly enjoy my time here. Despite it only being my second visit, the staff remembers me. The service is exceptional, the staff is friendly and easy to converse with. The quality of food and drinks is outstanding. I particularly love the onion rings, amaretto sour, and innuendo, and punch drunk love cocktail. This is now one of my go-to bars.

    Don’t skimp on the alcohol. Cocktails felt short of the right balance between the different kinds of spirits and other ingredients. Best enjoyed over chill and slow conversations or even a solo alcohol fix after hours. Drinks were too sweet for my taste especially the mojito and sake lychee. I don’t know if it’s just me not enjoying the sweet side of cocktails but the salpicao is the highlight of my Thirstday. Nachos is meh.

    Finally got to try the Sinigang Risotto and I loved it! The Smoked Soy Poke is another favorite/staple order.

👍👍 I missed this place! One of my comfort foods. This is our favorite place when we were in college. The place is huge, now they have more parking. The food is still great! We ordered the Shawarma Plate, Mixed Special Kebab, and the Grilled Eggplant. Order their yogurt shakes too!

👍👍 A very pleasant lunch at this place today (though the temperature inside was quite warm). The food was simply fabulous. Loved the pako salad and the Ilocos Express! The chicken adobo was also good and the Ilocos Best ( a platter of bagnet slices and a variety of Ilokano sausages) was simply the star...
