Batala Bar<\/a>, owned by Bryan McClelland (founder of Bambike<\/a>) and his partners, offers local craft beers, cocktails, burgers, quesadilla<\/strong>. They also cater networking events and other gatherings. But outside the confines of a restaurant and bar, Batala Bar offers so much more.<\/p>\n From the name alone, Batala Bar already suggests a world of heritage in the concept. With Bathala<\/em> being an all-mighty deity in our culture, they dropped the “h” and turned Batala into a house of Filipino spirits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Behind it’s impressive (and seriously heavy) pure bamboo door, opens up a stairway to Filipino heaven: a hybrid of a gallery, restaurant, and bar<\/strong> serving only locally sourced goods \u2013 everything from food and drinks to bicycles, handmade furniture, plushies, and accessories from different homegrown brands.<\/p>\n Not only do they promote Filipino craftsmanship<\/strong> in every corner of their space, but they also live through sustainability \u2013 with solar-powered energy and an in-house hydroponic urban garden<\/strong>. Their interiors accent this as well: an industrial aesthetic runs the whole place with different bamboo pieces, designed by architect Mia Guerrero.<\/p>\n Harboring a sense of unity, they hold parties, cater to events, and throw the occasional quiz night<\/strong>. Considering themselves a “third space” (a place where you can work, feel at home, and gather with loved ones<\/strong>), check into this self-proclaimed contemporary community center<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Featuring pika-pika, bar chow, and different meals cooked the Filipino style<\/strong>, Bathala Bar also serves vegan options<\/strong> that are absolutely good enough to go unnoticed by carnivores \u2013 making the better choices easier to choose.<\/p>\n Deep fried cheese with one surprise dynamite wrapped in lumpia wrapper served with garlic mayo<\/em><\/p>\n Skewered meat and veggies on bamboo tray, served with sawsawan<\/em><\/p>\n Pick 3 from Mushroom, Chori, Fried Chicken, or Grilled Cheese<\/em><\/p>\n Quesadilla, Lumpiang Keso, Mushroom Salpicao, Fries<\/em><\/p>\n Oven baked marinated pork belly slices served with rice, atchara, and side salad<\/em><\/p>\n Pasta tossed with homemade longganisa bolognese topped with quezo de bola, garlic bread<\/em><\/p>\n True to being the home of Filipino spirits, they serve multiple (and by multiple, we mean a lot<\/em>) craft beer and beverages<\/strong>. Mocktails<\/strong> are available so even non-drinkers have something to cheers with, including 5-6 different kinds of Kombucha<\/strong> on tap.<\/p>\n Mojito Mojito Lang.
