My friends and I went here to have a chill night-out. I found the place thru website and suprisingly, it lived up to the expectation. It has an old fashioned ambiance with well dimmed lights that sets your mood for perfect conversations. The food was okay. It's somehow pricey compared to other pubs. Other than that, it's nothing to rave about. We ordered nachos but after hours of asking for follow-ups, we decided to switch orders instead. We got two rice meals: Chili Con Carne and Crispy Tofu. For the pulutan we got 2 orders of Chicken Isaw which is by far the one of the best in their menus and the Cheese Sticks with it's own blue dip which was awful when mixed with the cheese sticks itself as it tasted bitter and oddly weird. For our drinks, we ordered one pitcher of their bestseller, the Amaretto sour in a shake. And then we ordered beers and mule to cap the night. Overall, this place is good for friend hang-outs. I'd definitely recommend it to people who like chill drinking.

The Old-fashion-local-pub ambiance, the most friendliest staffs, the tasty draft beers, and cocktails. It's an experience.It's not "fancy" but it'll make you feel at home. Whether your hangin' out with some friends, or maybe just wanted to get a quick night-cap, Oarhouse is definitely a great place to relax and unwind from the busy streets of Malate.I never had dull moments in this place. Always Remind me of some good times.#TwoThumbsUp

Quiet, laid back bar in Malate, perfect for friends just hanging out and having great conversations. Servers are friendly, food is good. Kalderetang kambing is a must have!

I may be pretty biased because this is our favorite pub to hang out after a long week. It's near the university and most of the people are students or residents from PGH. It's generally homey and quiet but occassionally there'll be a group of screaming kids that'll fall negotiating down the stairs 2 hours later. The drinks are pretty affordable, the food is good, and the staff are super friendly. It's a nice place to be.

Seafood salpicao and Crispy Tofu are great combo. The not-so-blue blue cheese sticks are a new favorite.We go here at least twice a week after work just to spend time until the road clears of traffic.

If it wasn't because of my friend's photo that was included in an exhibitat Oarhouse, I prolly wouldn't knew this place exists! Haha. Loser me.This 2-storey pub was adorned with antique picture frames, brick walls,in-can drinks, paintings, mirrored wall (which gave me an 80's barber shopfeels), old-fashioned bar stools, and a huge LCD tv. Something old, somethingnew. Something borrowed, something blue. One of their cornered walls wasdedicated to art exhibits and my friend was ecstatic to have her photo gotincluded on it. Yipee! :D Since I was with my photographer friend, we were ableto meet the humble owner of the pub, Mr Ben Razon, whose father was the one whostarted the famous Filipino-owned Razon's. We were all thrilled when wediscovered that my friend and Mr Razon both hailed in Pampanga. Yep, yep, smallworld! After the chat with the owner, I instantly felt at home. He shared thatPNoy's photographer was seated few tables away from us and from there I knewthat Oarhouse is a home of artists - true-blue or aspiring ones. And I'm surethe artists are glad that Oarhouse is there to showcase their talent.We were assisted by Evelyn who smiled at us sweetly like we were regulars.She was very accommodating and never missed our requests.This is the perfect place to chill after work; perfect place to catch upwith friends without shouting at each other because the music's volume was just right;if I were just living around the area this could've pass as my 3rd home, next tomy favorite coffee place. The food and drinks were affordable. The place wascentralized but you can smoke inside.We were billed around P600 for a pitcher of Amaretto Sour, plate ofNachos and few rounds of beer. Truly affordable!Time of visit: 14 Nov 21:30

Oarhouse has been in the business for many years. It is considered as one of the iconic resto bars in Malate. Crowds were mostly yuppies looking for a quiet and cozy place to chill to. Perfect for groups or even for sole chillin 😊. Food is good especially heir sizzling Bulalo with mashed Potato and side veggies ( wish it'll be bigger and tender next time 😊)

HOLE IN THE WALL: Classic PubThe Oarhouse is one of Malate's old yet classic pubs. It gives off a vibe that can only be described as bohemian, which was a term that the Ermita-Malate area practically coined back in the day. This is one of the few legitimate pubs left from that era. (Although there is a movement to get the area back to its original roots.)I have been going to this place for quite some time now because it is right in my area. On weekdays, there never fails to be at least a couple of tables occupied or some regulars seated at the bar. On weekends, it can get pretty packed! It is a small but cozy establishment with an assortment of quirky decorations scattered about. They have artwork displays that change every couple of months. It is never a dull place to be.The food is classic Filipino comfort food, with a variety of choices on their menu. I could not  seem to get enough of their Beef Caldareta back when it was available (I think they've removed it already huhu.) They have expanded and updated their menu as of late last year though and I am eager to try their other dishes in the future. As for the drinks, my female best friend and I would always go for a pitcher of Amaretto Sour that goes for only P320. They range from P320-350 for cocktail pitchers. You can probably get about 6-7 glasses out of one. I do warn though, the Amaretto is sweeter than most versions of the cocktail but that is the only version I seem to enjoy the most. Their other cocktails are pretty good as well, but one I would not recommend is the Oarhouse Sling - the one time my friends and I tried it, it was our last as well. (It tasted too funky!) Beer costs between P50-65.The service is great - they are friendly and quite attentive. The waitresses immediately tell me if there is Amaretto available or not even before I ask! (Probably because I am such a regular. Haha.) Of course though, on busy nights if you are seated on the second floor, it may be a little more difficult to get their attention.Overall, I have never had a bad experience at the Oarhouse and it will always be one of my favorite pubs to just get together with friends. I am giving it a 4.5 and have been recommending it to my friends and people who want to explore the Malate area. It is a hidden gem.
