Boracay's Hobbit House

A cold Red Horse beer at Hobbit House quenches the thirst =) At Don Vito Pizzeria Ristorante of Boracay Mandarin Hotel, order Don Vito Sensation, a vodka-based cocktail.
A slice of Black Rainforest is optional specially if you are calorie-counting.

Manila by Night

I went to Socialista last Thursday/Friday. I'm glad it has a safe crowd, still. Beer is P45 still, too. I liked the Tanduay rum there.

A new bar/resto beside Shrimps Ahoy, Harbour Square

There are new developments in the Manila area that I haven't been to. Check out Harbour Square, beside CCP Theater near Star City. It's like Metrowalk in Ortigas Center. Beer is pretty affordable, too. P180 for a bucket of 6. A Red Horse is P45.

It was my first time to explore Pasay area. It was difficult to find a place where there is karaoke and al fresco (out of the ordinary Music 21). But we did find one. It's a small place across the EDSA International Entertainment Complex and is quite safe and decent in a sense that there are no almost naked girls serving you. Just plain videoke and beer place. It has the authentic Pasay feel to it. Vendors selling peanuts and fish crackers are allowed to sell inside. The way to put it is that, this is the opposite of posh and is one of those places where the masang masa go to. A song costs P5.00 but they have listening songs and songs you can sing along with so do choose your sing-along songs wisely.

Drunken Talks

As part of a website on design, I will be contributing videos on "Drunken Talks." The concept is just that, talks over a couple of beers. But basically focused on design. It was inspired by this video.

Macau! Macau!

It may seem strange but I did enjoy Macau even if I didn't gamble. Walking tours and bar hops. I even bought a liter of Macau beer at a grocery (MOP7) but had to leave it at the airport because it wasn't worth checking it in.


Anyhow. Do check these places when in Macau.


San Lorenzo's

At the Fisherman's Wharf or "Yo Yan Ma Tao" look for San Lorenzo's at the New Orleans block. Beer is MOP30 whereas when you drink at a casino's bar/lounge, cheapest is MOP45. Heineken even comes in a lovely, slender glass (right photo). Seafood pizza (Pizza Frutti Di Mare) MOP98. Pizza and beer it is!


The View

At Sand's (walking distance from the Fisherman's Wharf), check out The View and be fascinated with pole dancers :P San Mig Light (in a clear pilsen bottle) MOP45++. Comes with free munchies (peanuts, chips, and dried meat).

MGM

MGM Lobby. Heineken draft MOP50++ comes with multi-grain munchies and live music. Good company just seals the deal.

Bellini Bar at Venetian

MOP40++ for beers. With house mixes like Bellinitini :)

Dimensione

Went to Fort Bonifacio High Street with my good friend Anthony and went into two of my favorite places in that area: Fully Booked and Dimensione. I developed an immediate liking to the nice lounge area at the latter. I thought to myself, this was a perfect set-up for enjoying some cocktails with my friends--leather sofas and acrylic tables. If you have a place as hip as this, you can just invite your friends over and mix your own cocktails.

Totally unrelated but very related to drinking!
