Wazzup Pilipinas!
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 ambience 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.
