Alamat Filipino Pub & Deli

The two reviews below were spot on. Also, I found how they labelled the beers on the beer board was rather difficult to understand. Super popular though. This isn't really a beer geek place, but more cool patio place that has some non-San Miguel on tap. The pint only thing was annoying, but they will give you paper cups to pour the pints in and share. Remember to hit Pollys around the corner from here. Its the taproom of Ekganto and Holy Smoke is about a 4-5 min walk away

In the heart of where it all happens in Poblacion. They have 15 taps of local craft beers and no bottles. A really quirky looking place and I really loved to hang out here. The rooftop area overlooking the street below was particularly nice. Only pints though and no smaller sizes which is a shame and rather irresponsible when they are serving 10% beers. Prices are reasonable, Drinks were served rather too warm though. Staff are friendly and attentive. They now have Wi-Fi. A must visit place when in Manila but I’m not sure I would be a regular if I lived here. Beer quality must improve.

Just off the busy main streets, this place is a great combination of hip, high end, casual and local. Only local craft this place is probably one of the better spots in town that also focuses on great food. Unfortunately, their taps are not cleaned nor is the first pour dumped. If you order the first beer it will likely be sour. A shame really, but commonplace. I would still go though. No small pours, no wifi and like most places cash only.
