Maria Niña Layao03:54 08/07/23Cudos to all crews, they were all approachable. The food was good and the atmosphere was very pleasing to the eyes. Highly recommended! Bri Cuen07:52 05/11/23Still an amazing place after all these years. Took my girlfriend for her birthday here yesterday and Adrian and the rest of the staff had a cake and song ready. A few minutes later another couple in the outside table had a surprise proposal and the staff also helped film it. Everyone in the restaurant clapped. The cocktails were good, specifically designed by the bartender who was equally as friendly just like the rest of the staff. Overall a wonderful time with good food, ambience and people. Maria Teresa Canete, MD23:15 03/04/23Pricey but view is the best. Great for chitchat catchup drinks picapica Joseph Li23:31 02/23/23We visited Blu Bar & Grill for during the happy hour.

Roberto Santuccione20:49 02/23/23Nice bar but full of (ugly) retired foreigner males, desperately looking for girls. RANDALL MCKENNA13:31 01/23/23No longer el gecko... now howling dogs. Monday night so not too busy. Quick service and cold beer at reasonable price (65 php). Felt like pizza but they have no pizzaUsed to be have good 3 piece bands with singers but now videoke band ( 1 guy with girl singing). They weren't very good. Kingsley Paramanantham19:42 09/16/22This bar is a haunt for foreign tourists. There is a pool table. the inside decor is dated and needs a renovation. If you order food, it takes very long to arrive, one hour. The food was pricey and basic. The seating was all metal furniture and not comfortable. dennis hyde10:16 12/08/19It's okay for a cold beer and the food is reasonably good..but like said previously the girls do pester you for drinks..musics good too. Just an update I've been back the beer price has increased, no WIFI, the place is dead..give it a miss. B. Kyle Bailey17:14 01/31/18Lively small bar with reasonably priced drinks. Good place to hang out. Has an "OK" band that plays 60's & 70's music. Pool table and big screens for watching rugby/soccer. Pleasant employees. Contact Point Restobar Main

Real Customer Reviews at The Social:
Andrew Holbert14:34 08/05/23The Social is at the top of my list for a relaxed and entertaining, “westernized” style restobar. Employees are all friendly and the food manages to always exceed my expectations but I have not tried everything on the menu. I lived several years in south Florida and regularly visited “Little Havana”, mainly for Cuban food and I can heartily recommend the Social’s “Cuban” sandwich. It’s not exactly like the Cuban’s I would routinely eat in Little Havana but it’s very close and every bit as good, if not better than anything I remember eating in Florida. The Cuban is my favorite menu item with their ribs or pork belly in a tie for second. The pizzas are also good, especially if you like a true, thin crust pizza.There’s also live entertainment that usually starts around 7 every night and I also appreciate the fact the volume level allows for conversation even when sitting directly in front of the band. If you haven’t been, you may want to check it out but also keep in mind The Social is definitely more of a “westernized” atmosphere along with the prices and it does attract lots of foreigners and expats. Roland Moreno12:53 06/17/23I enjoyed their Wine and Steak. The bar tender is great as well. Just need to leave the place as it is open area. Very warm inside. PinoyGaijin Travels02:11 05/05/23Its a nice place for meeting acquaintances/ friends over dinner. They have a decent menu selection.I got social platter which has mixed of mini burgerd, fried chicken and skewers. The food is ok, passable to my palate. Also got bottle of cabernet sauvignon(house wine is surprisingly good)The live band is what I really enjoyed the most, hearing hard rock songs belted by a good singer at night is a rare experience in a bar now a days.Its kinda bit loud for intimate meetup, but a good place to start if you don't like to chat and just loosen up. Alexa Su00:49 04/21/23A pleasant spot to hang around.Both the service and the foods are great. 👌 I’ve been here many times but I just reviewed it today.I gave it 4 stars because I don't like that part when some foreigner comes to your table and tries to ruin your night. 😖#bar&grill#cebu#Philippines Baby Eve Asequia15:29 03/10/23We had the Cubano sandwich, fries, and Mango shake. It was good and filling. Serving size is appropriate for its price and the ambiance in the afternoon was okay. However, it is a little pricey plus they have a 10% SC fee but overall a good experience. Executive RestoBar

Real Customer Reviews at Executive RestoBar:
Lin04:50 06/26/23If you are ever planning to do an event here, don’t. I don't recommend this place.They will cancel you in less than 24hours from the event, without consideration.I would just like to air out my grievances, that when a customer is asking questions regarding your packages and not bargaining for the price ( money was never an issue) it is valid and we are entitled to be treated with respect.Not in your condescending manner.Also to highlight your use of CAPSLOCK in our chat, reads as you shouting at me just to make a point.When you’re in the restaurant industry , treating your customers with respect is part of professional conduct. It is the core of your business.Specially a paying customer. The moment the downpayment was made and received, I am your customer and I should be entitled to the respect as a customer should.Your side comments are uncalled for and reflects how petty and unprofessional your are.Lastly, to make matters worst when I was told that if you only knew that one of my guest was your friend you would have been more amenable.Extremely disappointing, because regardless if I am your friend or a stranger the bottom line is I am a Customer.There is no excuse to be disrespectful and unprofessional..In the end, we celebrated in Circa 1900 with so much ease without the air of rudeness. It was a blessing in disguise for Circa 1900 was so much better and welcoming. Lizzies' Chics06:08 03/29/23With live band when we last visited here.Wednesday M Inting14:57 03/18/23I was studying their menu beforehand and my interest was piqued. When we finally got there, the food, taste-wise didn't meet my expectations but it was still okay. Some items on the menu were not available as well. No dessert. Good thing their portions were huge which make it value for money, the atmosphere was inviting and relaxing and they offered quality service. TI G12:44 02/25/23Dishes had huge servings. Price points are very reasonable our bill was a P2k with 4 dishes and 2 cocktail drinks Alieth Bontuyan11:13 05/06/22So far experience is so good.My dear friend suggested to have lunch in this place and Voila it definitely fills our guts.This is conveniently located near IT Park , next to Crown Garden Hotel.Its a new place who opens just shortly before typhoon , Im glad they didnt’ give up and open again January this year,The bar is located on the second floor of Triumph Motorcycle shop dealership not the brand of a women’s bra huh 😄 i have to google it to educate myself , Triumph is actually a classic motorcycle brand from UK with a competitor like Harley Davidson so just imagine those flashy oldie motorbikes your uncle use to drive 😂So back to the Executive Bar, they have good coffee , drinks and food. During our lunch we ordered baby back ribs but the meat isnt’ ready yet so we opted for the herbed pork chop meal and a pasta not in their menu guess its my favorite (Aglio Olio) surprisingly it was Tymad level taste of pasta.We met the owner/ Chef Charles Co and he was the one who agree to cook for us the Aglio Olio by special order(lucky or dli?) hehe. He was sitting on the other table near us , we have quiet a chat sharing thoughts of the business , food, diet and peoples choices. Thank you so much sir!The price is affordable, place is so classy and spacious, tables and chairs are really executive ready for a meeting or discussions over a sumptuous meal.The staff were extremely attentive and customer service is 10/10.Everyone knows in my circle that I am very critical when it comes to food, places and reviews .This place needs a two thumbs up and definitely we will be back dinnertime wednesdays because according to the staff mga shofo daw ang band nga mutukar (bonus diba😂)Thank you EXECUTIVE resto Team !Great Job Chef Charles 👌👌👌In the city there is always a great place to dine, drink and chill ! ! Just be very curious sometimes 🙃 Billy’s Sports Bar

Real Customer Reviews at Billy's Sports Bar:
David Sanis08:08 07/30/23What an awesome sports bar. I was messaging with the owner when I was in Australia and coming to visit Cebu to find out if they were showing UFC. Great communication and he said he was opening early, especially for it. We arrived and there was a warm welcome. It a great venue, awesome service from Jane and Liz. Will definitely return. It should be called Cheers! Very similar in spirit to the TV show. R S11:16 07/29/23As a first time visitor I was made to feel so welcome by the bar staff and the owner himself. A great friendly hangout to watch the game or chillout with other expats. Was particularly impressed they had gone out of the way to show the major live sports events. Will be back for sure! Ural Shefket06:21 06/11/23Great atmosphere and great food.Not the type of bar you will get ripped off in or pushed to buy lady drinks, so will definitely be back.Amazing night for the champions league final! dennis hyde01:17 05/11/23I probably won't go back here again, beer is expensive and they really only have snacks not meals on the menu. angel I08:11 10/19/22Was very happy to be able to watch El Clasico in Cebu. Staff didn't want to change the channel at first (all three TV's were showing EPL) saying the other customers were there first, which I understand fully. But upon finding out that I asked online before coming, they were very accommodating.Ordered wings (bit on the salty side) and a couple of beers.
