  • 5/5 Date For T. 5 years ago on Google
    Hip and modern hidden bar behind a classy door! 💕 Date for Two: Bees Knees, Tuxedo 💌 Total: P500 Overall: A hip and modern bar hidden inside Gaja, a modern Korean restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue. We wouldn’t be spoiling you on how to get inside this secret lair, we’d let you figure out (or ask the Gaja staffs) yourselves! We’ve ordered two of their well-curated classic cocktails – Bees Knees and Tuxedo. And since one of us is a Zomato Gold member, we got two of each! Yay! Bees Knees (P250) – per their menu, it’s a Prohibition Era cocktail made with gin, fresh lemon juice and honey, served shaken and chilled. The cocktail has a sweet and tangy taste, just enough to balance out the hint of gin. Tuxedo (P250) – it’s composed of gin, dry vermouth, orange bitters, maraschino and absinthe. This one has a stronger flavor, and bolder taste of gin. We’ve been to The Odd Seould several friday night outs now and this order set is one of our favorties, but we’ll still come regularly for their Soju + Yakult combinations. Value for money: Worth it! 2+2 drinks ftw! Want to experience the same benefit we got? Be a member now! Get 20% off your Zomato Gold Membership using our code: DATEFOX #DateForTwo at The Odd Seoul

    The Odd Seoul is the newest speakeasy in Poblacion, Makati with a cyberpunk theme. I love that people should figure out how to enter the premises. 😅 Great cocktails and liquors at an affordable price. Awesome music, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Attentive and courteous table service. We will definitely return. 💎✨

    Hidden bar.. hidden inside Gaja Korean Kitchen. Food: tried their maki - 1/10 - rice is dry 😅 Alcohol: Tried mojito 0/10 tasted like kid’s juice Music: EDM 9/10 (too loud) Ambience: 6/10 Staff: nice and polite Rest Room: 0/10 - this needs serious attention; I almost puke not because of too much alcohol, but due to foul smell and nastiness

    When it comes to visiting Poblacion for a drink and hangout with friends, it's always been The Odd Seoul first thing in mind. No brainer! Food is great as usual, place is groovier than before, millennials and yuppies will definitely enjoy! You can play darts too while drinking. It's a different Korean-vibe experience. You should try to visit with your friends on your next Friday night gimmick :)

  • 1/5 Joe Carmel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Too dark to eat. Too loud to speak. Too sweet for a jajangmyeon. Too many unavailable items.

  • 5/5 Riann (. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun vibes and good music. Recommended for younger millennials since most of their songs here are 90s-2010s, and there are also some K-pop songs. It feels like you're in your own private club. You can dance and sing outloud while drinking without the very crowded environment. Highly recommended!

    Nice place for whisky with lovely bartenders. Just avoid Wednesdays.

  • 5/5 C V. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the hidden gems of poblacion. I love to meet up with friends and play e-darts in this cozy place. The big plus here is that there's a korean restaurant outside that serves amazing food!

  • 5/5 Fabulous L. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It’s a great place, and it’s a hidden bar. Drinks and snacks are also very special, unlike the average! The boss is a Korean, so the decor is specially created. The only one in Manila that features a hidden bar is worth a visit! (Original) 實在是好地方,而且是家隱藏酒吧,飲品跟小吃也非常有特色,不像一般的吧!老闆是韓國人所以裝潢都是特意打造,全馬尼拉唯一的一家韓國把特色隱藏酒吧,非常值得一去!

    Good place to dine and drink! They also have darts live 2 if you want to play soft darts. I loved their Pajeon korean seafood pancake! The best i've tried.

  • 5/5 CK H. 5 years ago on Google
    It's a cool speakesy accessible through Gaja Korean Kitchen. The drinks menu is quirky; before I tried it, I didn't expect to like Kimchi Sour (and wow it's really good!). Zomato gold is honored here so we got +2 on drink orders. For bar chows, we tried spam fries and also torched cheesy corn. Both are really nice.

👍👍 The best Indian restaurant in Manila, It’s been 4 years since I’ve been here. I am glad that I visited this restaurant again with my family. We didn’t reserve a table and the restaurant are packed. Thankfully the staff managed to give us a table for 11 people. Honestly the food still great at it is,...
