INT.Bar / EXT.Cafe

The Cubao Expo has been a place for unwinding and catching up with friends. I like to bring friends who I have not seen for quite some time here for us to reconnect over a glass of cold beer. Food and drink options here are superb. There is a nostalgic feel within the expo due to the presence of some vintage shops. The area is relatively safe but it still is better to drink with trusted buddies than going solo. Parking is the only real issue for me with Cubao Expo. Bringing your car inside may be a bit of a drag if you are driving. While this place is far from perfect, I highly recommend drinking here.

This place has been the go-to for students and art crowd. Needs some update and renovations as it feels very old. Nothing bad with old but the place is quite on the fading old condition. Some touch ups and renovations can boost this place to get more customers. Lots of great art finds and restaurants. Looking forward to see this place shine and grow.

Good place to hang out and catch up with friends, definitely a familiar vibe and atmosphere. You'll forget you're in the busy district of Cubao as if you're inside a fun & protected preserved time bubble.

A cultural landmark! This is the place to get good records, thrift finds, craft beer, and good Italian food. It’s also open space for the most part and I think one of the places in Metro Manila that gets gentrification right.

Cubao X is always a great time! Just hoping that it will still be this way for years/ decades to come. With all the constructions and Condominium being built around it. It's just a blast from the past. Culturally, Artsy and Hipster vibes of it. One of the last few places in Manila.
