Roadhouse Manila Bay: Good Food and The Blues at Mall of Asia

Share this PostPin ThisShare on TumblrShare on Google PlusEmail This

If you're like me who enjoys blues music, good food, and a pint of beer, then there's a place you can go to enjoy all three all at once - Roadhouse Manila Bay. This bar is a biker enthusiast's haven with their big bikes parked and on display outside the restaurant. But don't be scared, you won't be seeing big bearded, tattooed, bandana-wearing men inside, only good food and good music.

Ratings:
Food: 5/5, food and drinks are great.
Prices: 3/5, prices are kinda steep for my kind but the serving amount justifies it.
Place: 5/5, cool wall decorations, autographed guitars, and posters of rock icons along with good music for a perfect setting for rock and blues music.
Service: 4/5, although the place was crowded every time we visit, we did not have any qualms with the service.

The Food
We always order their Bacon Mushroom Burger (Php 350), draft beer (22 oz - Php 195), Mojito (Php 205) or Margarita (Php 280).

The Bacon Mushroom Burger, aside from the juicy burger, bacon and mushroom, has thick cut fries and salad on the sides. Downing these down with your favorite beer or cocktails while listening to the beat of live blues music is a perfect way to unwind.


Their Happy Hour Promo is at 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM everyday. It's a buy one take one on SMB Draft Beer or a bucket of beer for only Php 360 (regular price for a bucket is Phph 595).

The Place
Roadhouse Manila Bay is located in the bay area of Mall of Asia where you can perfectly view the iconic Manila Bay sunset. The restaurant is set up as music bar with a small stage on one corner of the room. On the walls are cool decorations, autographed guitars, and posters of rock icons. Some of my favorites are the signed guitars by Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd, and the posters of Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix.


The bands start performing at around 8:30 PM. My favorite performer here is the Bleu Rascal and they usually perform on Friday nights. They play covers of classic blues songs but they also have their original compositions which are just as good as the classics. The guitar skills of the lead guitarist and vocalist is excellent. They actually won top prize at the Cotai Jazz and Blues Festival Competition in Macau.

Watch them below perform the classic Johnny B Goode:
