Looking for the perfect spots in Metro Manila to make your Friday night unforgettable? Whether you’re in the mood for a delicious meal, a lively bar scene, an intimate dinner, or a night of dancing, we’ve got you covered.
Lagrima
Kick off your Friday night with a delicious Mexican meal at Lagrima. We enjoyed their refreshing Strawberry (PHP 190) and OG Horchata (PHP 160), a much more authentic taste to what we’re used to. The Knights of the Round (PHP 1120) platter is a must-try, featuring one of each of Lagrima’s signature tacos: the Gringa, Carnitas, Pollo Asado, Carne Asado, Pollo al Pastor, Shrimp, and Fish. Each taco has a unique taste experience, balancing perfectly seasoned meats, fresh ingredients, and vibrant salsas. Lagrima is a great place to satisfy your Friday taco night cravings.
Reserve City Golf
For those looking for a more intimate Friday night, Reserve City Golf offers the perfect ambiance. Also a resto bar, you can enjoy their drinks and food menu. We recommend their Steak & Date for PHP 3,899, a full dining experience that includes Caesar Salad, Creamy Spinach, Corn in Cilantro Lime Butter, and your choice of Steak rice or fries. This thoughtfully curated meal is perfect for a romantic evening or a special night out with close friends.
Ugly Duck
While Ugly Duck is widely known for its lively bar scene and late-night gigs, its food menu is not to be overlooked. Their Mozzarella Croquetas (PHP 380), paired with a sweet & sour homemade pomodoro sauce, are a must-try appetizer. Another standout dish is the Oyster Sisig Aburi (PHP 390) torched tableside, resulting in a smoky flavor and cheesy texture. With an option for both a dance floor and a relaxing outdoor dining area, Ugly Duck provides an ideal setting for anyone out on a Friday night.
Apotheka: Dance the Night Away
If you’re in the mood for a later night out, head over to Apotheka, located just a floor below Ugly Duck in Poblacion Makati. This underground club is perfect for those who love to dance the night away. With an impressive lineup of DJs spinning great music, Apotheka promises an exciting atmosphere that keeps the energy high all night long. Whether you’re there to dance, enjoy the music, or spend time with friends, Apotheka offers an exhilarating end to your Friday night adventures.
