Sure, Manila definitely
has all the chic bars where friends can just raise the glass to fun and party
but Sidebar has never been of these. Sidebar, which has been churning good
music and good food in a great quaint ambiance for 23 years, has not lost its
charm. In fact, it has even scaled up in comfort with its newly-renovated
facilities where the seemingly grandiose can be casual and pop at the same
time.
Offering a
fanciful look of what a ladies’ bar should be, the vibe of Sidebar is classic
yet unpretentious and it’s filled with “beautiful things”, such as original
paintings, bric-a-brac from the owner’s travels, glistening cocktail glasses,
and a list of music streamlined with mix of classic, indie contemporary rock,
and everything in between.
Quaint and
sophisticated but not missing out on comfort, the newly-renovated Sidebar
possesses the feel of something dainty: cozy sofas, sleek arm chairs, tall
wooden beam ceiling, red brick walls, wide framed mirrors and hot red
chandeliers as charming centerpieces. Adding a touch of culture and historic
element are the antique banisters from Malate Church which complete Sidebar’s
unique look, personally designed by no less than the owner, Ricky Gutierrez.
If on the
lookout for a place to have those secret conversations or exchange unstoppable
stories with friends and colleagues, where safety and security are part of the
package, Sidebar is definitely the ideal venue. Located at El Pueblo Ortigas
and just few blocks from malls and villages, the Sidebar evokes a different
fantasy of bygone cocktail culture where cool and class meet. Attracting
artists, writers, professionals, and entrepreneurs, it’s also a favorite
hangout of accomplished women decision-makers for its delicious drinks and bar
chows.
Speaking of
delicious, Sidebar cocktails and its menu represent the best of the bunch.
Since it’s from the family of the 1771 Group of Restaurants which is known for
its high standard on food quality and service, anyone is assured that the same
delightful touches are found in this intimate spot. Whether it’s for a
simple gathering or just feeling adventurous for yummy food and cocktails,
Sidebar provides a primer for a wholesome night out experience that never goes
out of style.
