Where to Spend Your Chill or Fun Night-out at
Filipinos are known for being hard drinkers and party-goers. However, all the drinking and partying halted when the pandemic hit the country. Businesses, including chill bars and fun nightclubs, were forced to stop operating in adherence to health protocols. Aside from more serious issues brought about by the pandemic, people were also stuck inside their houses and had been deprived of social interaction. The craving for party galore with friends, after-work chill drinking, or the weekly bar-hopping intensified.
Now that businesses are almost a fully-operational, it has not been hard for bars and nightclubs to attract customers. Especially on weekends and Friday nights, people queue in front of these establishments. If you are looking for places in Quezon City to visit with your friends, then I have just the places for you.
Here are my go-to bar and club highly recommended for you:
Chill Night at The Beech
If you want to have a chill night out with good music and even movies being played, The Beech is perfect for you. It is a Filipino bar and restaurant located at the heart of Panay Avenue, Tomas Morato, South Triangle, Diliman, Quezon City, Metro Manila. They offer a range of Filipino as well as American finger foods. On a corner, a “paluto” section can be found which is filled with various “pulutan”. There are also a lot of drink choices from beer and vodka to whiskey and tequila.
The place is extremely spacious on both levels. Their tables can accommodate a varied number of people. There are tables for four, for fourteen, and even for forty people. There is also a smoking area since it is strictly prohibited to do so on your tables. The staff is accommodating and the security is highly attentive. Customers can leave their valuables unattended since bouncers are roaming around the bar. Lastly, the prices of their products are within your budget.
Party at URBN QC
Now, if you want to have a party-like fun, then you should go to URBN. With adrenaline-kicking music, lively dancers, and flashy lights, you and your friends will surely have a great time. The nightclub is located at 62 Timog Avenue, Quezon City. The establishment has two floors with a capacious ground and a large DJ booth at the mid-front. Customers can choose to avail standing tables perfect for dancing and mosh pit. There are also couches, a little bit pricier but more comfortable than tables.
The staff is very accommodating and some stay in your area to assist you with whatever you need. The security is also strict. Bouncers are scattered every corner to ensure the safety of the customers. As regards the foods and drinks, they offer a variety of choices. There are mostly finger foods that are perfect pairs for their liquors. Gin, vodka, tequila, name any booze and they sure have it.
Now that quarantines are lifted, people can now enjoy a chill “inuman” or a dance party. The Beech and URBN QC are only some of the highly recommended bars and clubs in Quezon City so stay tuned for more.
Lastly, no matter how fun it is to drink outside your house, always remember to drink responsibly.
