9 places to make tambay near taft.

Words by Kathlene Masilongan

The Taft area is home to a bunch of big universities with young students, so it isn’t surprising that a bunch of interesting food places and cafes have sprung up in the area. For the sake of the lot of us who don’t go out often, are looking to find a new place to spend hours in, venturing for something new to eat, or for the new kids on the block who are wondering where to hang out during their vacant periods, I asked my fellow Taft-mates where their favorite tambay spots are and here’s what we came up with (in no particular order).

1. Diligence Cafe

Your Local Neighborhood Guide to Taft Avenue

  • July 14th, 2016

food trip along taft avenue

Taft Avenue is a major thoroughfare that connects to at least two major districts of Manila and two cities (Pasay and Paranaque). Named after then Philippine Governor General William Howard Taft, Taft Avenue is known mainly for being a part of the University Belt, with several of Manila’s major colleges and universities located within the vicinity. This, plus its proximity to major modes of transportation, gives Taft Avenue the youthful vibe and accessibility that has attracted an interesting mix of establishments to the area.

taft-manila

Taft Avenue runs across three cities: Paranaque, Pasay, and Manila. The stretch that passes through Manila is next to iconic communities known for their colorful histories: Malate, Manila’s center of commerce and tourism, and Ermita, Manila’s epicentre for finance, education, and culture.

Moreover, Taft Avenue is a gateway to Makati. As such, Taft Avenue’s accessibility to one of the Philippines’ most significant central business districts makes it an underrated location to buy a home .

Getting Around*

getting-around-taft

  • To LRT Gil Puyat – 5 mins walk
  • To University Belt – 30 mins car/LRT
  • To MRT/EDSA – 10 mins drive/18 mins LRT
  • To Ayala CBD – 25 mins drive/35 mins tram
  • To BGC CBD – 30 mins drive

Aside from jeepneys, buses, and shuttle services, two railway systems – MRT-3 and LRT-1 – pass through the area, making Taft Avenue one of the most accessible places in the City of Manila. One can also reach it through major roads like United Nations Avenue, Padre Faura, Pedro Gil, EDSA, and Gil Puyat Avenue.

Thesis, reports, case studies and exams, they just don’t stop piling up, do they? These days, we, students take a breather from all the stress that College throws at us in a lot of ways. One of which, is by gathering the barkada together to take an hour or few away from the stress—to chill and drink. Well, if you’re from Taft Avenue, Here are 8 chillnuman spots you and the barkada can hit up after Finals week.

Local Caven Resto Bar

Address: 2223 Fidel A. Reyes Street Manila, Philippines

Local Bar is known for its indoor vibe, cold ambience, hip hop and r&b music as well as its closed environment. With the tight space, you and your friends are bound to meet anyone on the dance floor. Also, their special 85 pesos’ wine is one of the many drinks that the bar is best known for.

The Chillout Project Kitchen & Bar

Address: Fidel A Reyes Street Taft Manila, Philippines

By the name itself, Chillout is the place to chill. Their cocktails and margaritas will surely get everyone to groove to the beats around the place. The recently-just-mainstreamed bar is also known for its weekly events, both of which are the Monday Karaoke Night and happy hour where you can avail of various drink promos ranging from cocktails, beers and vodka for the whole group.

SaBalcony Taft

Address: Fidel A. Reyes St. Malate, Manila, Philippines

If you feel like drinking a beer and conversing on a rooftop, then Balcony is the place to be. Despite its tight space, Balcony has garnered the liking of many students due to its open air and rooftop vibe along with the grooving beats. What’s a better way to remove the stress than to chill on top of a rooftop?

Meanwhile, another chillnuman place you will spot is just right below SaBalcony called Downtown. Downtown’s famous flavored cocktails and tasting menus will give you and the squad an evening of good drinks, food and conversations.

Address: Unit 208 2nd Floor Sherwood Place, 2264 Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila

Over the past year, Bourn has been one of the favorite places for students to go to in Sherwood. It’s a lay-back type of bar that blasts R&B, hood and the latest music that you and the barkada can vibe with. Not to mention that this bar is known to close the latest around the area. The drinks and food choices also do not disappoint as there are a variety to pick from — But their cocktails are very much recommended.

Exile on Main St. Restaurant

Address: Unit 2 #2428 Leon Guinto St. Barangay 727, Malate, Manila

Exile has always been known as one of the best restaurants around Taft Avenue. Aside from its mouthwatering menu, it’s also a great place to catch up and drink with friends. The restaurant’s side and main dishes make up for good combinations with some booze.

Verano Taft

Address: Sherwood Place, Taft Avenue, Manila

Another place to check out in Sherwood is Verano Taft. Verano is one of the best places to play Beer pong with the group and a place to chill with their variety of ice cold beers. Unlike other bars in Sherwood, Verano is known to be one of the few spacious bars where you and the group can play rounds of beer pong.

Address: 2226 Fidel Reyes St., 01470 Manila

It’s always fun to throw back and reminisce back to those freshman days, and where else better to do that than in Barn? Despite being known as the “tambayan para sa freshman” Barn’s colored cocktails will make way for great reminiscing and conversations. If you want to dine in along with those drinks, their special T-bone steak is not a bad idea as well.
