Love handle bar! It's a great local pub that has awesome staff, the footy, cricket, UFC and the boxing always on. Plus they have the best friggin chicken tikka wrap on offer. Nice and spicy perfect tucker for a belly full of beer! As rough as handle bar may seem at first glance it certainly isn't. The vibe is great, everyone knows each other. If not at the start of the night certainly at the end of the night. Great atmosphere where everyone goes to hangout for a great time. There's also a number of great bands that play here from time to time. Oh and I forgot to mention they do a pretty mean porterhouse with all you can eat salad bar. Check it out you'll love it

Looks rough, dark on the inside that you can barely see what you are eating. It has Metal/hard rock music that will burst your eardrums! Rugby is a big thing here, you can see hardcore fans coming and staying till the wee hours just to watch in those big screens their country's teams. Most expats hang out here to do business over a pint of ale, no, not the businessmen type who are in coats and ties, but the ones who are in the mining industries or Resorts shareholders . The ones who do not care about keeping up appearances ;) The locals do not understand why the expats converge here despite its seedy look, but it's an expats place of their own, so they tend to relax more, besides, all expats know this place. It's very unpretentious, it's the MAD DOGS bikers place!Did I mention that they serve mean steaks! It's not the dainty-female-on-a-diet serving but its for appreciative carnivore customers 😋

-- http://shellyviajera.blogspot.com --It's swarmed by expats and I guess every expat who has been in town for a while knows this chill place. Funny that we were trying to find this bar and my friend just thought of following where do all expats were heading at and poof, we ended up at Handle Bar!It plays good live music but not all throughout the night. The crowd is very much alive. This is my kind of bar.Tequila shots were okay.

CHILL PLACE. Come on Wed and Fri for good music from their regular band. Place is packed with expats. They have billiards table. Booze and Wine are reasonably priced. Place is lively but still can have good conversation. Upscale bar in Makati Ave that a bit on the modest side.

The last time i visited a bar was ages ago.... think Mesozoic Era. This was when Pinoy Alternative is at its peak. I stopped visiting bars due to a sudden lifestyle change - when i quit smoking and stopped binge drinking. Why am i saying? Well, Handle Bar happened.This is the last stop of our Sriracha Food Crawl. Well, i ain't gonna sugarcoat it....the place is really really noisy. The guy headbanging on the stage us to blame. He was letting out a guttural sound that is known to men as singing. Don't get me wrong, i like Rock but this ain't it. I guess, my standards are high after listening to a boatload of Hendrix and Beatles when i was a kid. Let's talk food.Sriracha Chicken Tenders. I have eaten heaps sriracha-infused fowl tonight and my brain is having a hard time identifying the differences. This was okay, not spicy enough for my Dragon Lady Standards. A lil one dimensional as it tastes ordinary. Peace Out!Reich

Me and my husband would have a steak here mostly lunch time so it's not loud and crowded. I like their steak because it's big size serving. There are flat screen TVs everywhere so you could watch your favorite rugby team. I just didn't like the service the last time we went here, the server was very rude to ask me if I just had my hair colored and I was completely taken a back and said no, to which she said, "Sobrang maamoy kase." To the management, please give your staff the proper training on how to treat your customers well and improve their service. Much appreciated!

Went here to catch up with a friend and have some drinks! We had their buffalo wings (my faveee)— pricey but tastes so good! It was perfect with the blue cheese dip. My friend ordered for me their bloody mary cocktail but its taste was not what we expected :( It was my friend’s 3rd time here and he said it was a lot different from what he had before, so we just ordered a different drink.

Cheapest and best steak so far! It has become a staple hangover food and it is best paired with..Bloody Mary! I loooove handle bar. It isn't gourmet, it isn't fine dining but it is nice and chill in the middle of Poblacion chaos.

Please step right in for the only nearly 500 peso Pork Rubber Slipper In Metro Manila.This is a relaxing enough bar for a drink and a meeting with friends. The service is polite but not attentive in anyway and the beer is cold so I will give them a point for that.The Local beer I was craving "red Horse" was not available. This is a bar and no red horse?.. This tells me that the Management is 100% incompetent or does not care or both. There is no excuse and never will be an excuse for being out of stock for anything on the menu. Incompetence.Go here to drink but whatever you do eat somewhere else. The food is very expensive and poorly executed.I had a Pork Chop which for 471 peso's was more expensive than most high end restaurants all over metro mania so I was expecting something pretty amazing..I Didn't get it.The Pork Chop was cooked until it had the consistency , texture and taste of your rubber slipper and then cooked some more until it was beyond edible.. The Chop came from the part of the Menu called Big Johns Barby. All I can say is that it is time for big john to move on and make room for someone who can cook on a BBQ..... The Pork rubber slipper was served with under cooked and cold french fries. As for the other food. My friends did not eat their food ether. It was horrible !
