Thebar@1951 - Riyadh

Always been a big fan of this place because it is an unpretentious place to go and hear some pretty good music. It is usually where some good jazz bands play and I love how the environment is always so jovial and happy. The first floor bandstand and floor is a bit tiny and it can get a little cramped that's why this place is not 5-star material. The acoustics are also a bit bad because of the small layout. Beer is cheap, bar chow is good, there is a minimal cover fee depending on the band.

I was invited by a friend for a photo exhibit and boy I was glad I did go. The place has this laid-back vibe and the people I was able to meet and fortunately now friends were awesome! Able to try their pizza and some finger foods and it was okay, specially with booze (hehe) and not to mention the good people I was able to talk with. If you're looking for a place just to have a couple of booze and listen to Jazz and chill vibe music this is the place to go to in Malate.

First time to explore the area, Its cool place to chill. Unfortunately, during the time of my visit there are no much people but this place have a lot of potential. Its something different in the area of Malate where most clubs are Korean Resto and Karaoke. Definitely im coming back.

Terrible service. Waited an hour for a pizza not to turn up. All the people in the place were very unhappy with the long wait. The waiter had no idea what was available on the menu. We also ordered a salad and that did not turn up either. Will not return.

It may be sketchy when you go to places in Malate, but it has never lost its glam for chilling in one of the oldest hot spots in the Metro Manila Area. This bar is a chill place to have drinks and mingle with friends whenever you're in the area. Don't forget to order their chili dynamites and their cheese sticks as they go really well with the booze that you're drinking.
