Here you will see places not worth visiting however might make you change your mind. A getaway from the norm accepted venues or places ... it sickening sometimes. wont hurt to pay them a visit (Details to follow)
Hang Out Bar
Located in Rotonda, Pasig City. If there is an extreme opposite to a classy typical comedy bar, this is it.
Ambiance
The place is a little dark but you can still see the person seating right next to you. Lights and decoration a little tacky but will do. The place does not smell nice and does not smell bad either. You will see poorly made tarpaulin type posters (some photos are in a way funny and cute)
Food
Is pretty much basic but tastes okay since its home style cooking. not all items are available sometimes. I like the fried chicken.
Drinks
Basic Prices for beers. Dear God! Order beers only
Music/Sound System
Perfect for those who are into "Birits". However if you want to sound nice, try not to compete with the supposedly comedians. They may have problems with volume controls but it isn't something that will make your eardrums explode. It's just loud but its okay.
The People
The comedians
Some are good and some... I wouldn't say bad because even I dont have the talent, skills and more of the guts bit to do what they are doing. You can see all sorts. Some seemed to have come from a late afternoon laundry activity, some are like drag queens from the old fashioned carnival trend, some drags will wear hip pads (they seem to look like as if they are carrying boxes on their hips. Some are nice... accommodating and they do have talents! one looks like a drag version of Manny Pacman. The Owner whom everyone calls "nanay" is cool lady. very nice. Some are just there for the sake of being there I guess. It's more of a place for passer by comedians... like a training ground of some sort.
The People
Real people. Not intimidating or scary. Just regular people. a few times I was there, there was a birthday party. To my surprise, the celebrant gave me a cake and lots of pulutan. Not only me but all of the customers who were there that night. Nice eh?
The Catch
A nice place to get away from the typical "sosyal" venues. here you can sit down, laugh at the corny jokes, laugh at how the comedians compete (Birit) with the guests whilst singing. Raise your feet up one chair (literally), while drinking a cold beer... you don't have to be dressed up... shorts and tee will do. In a way it's nice also because I don't hear pinoy's talking in English with twang oozing right out of their noses (winks).
