The place can comfortably accommodate around 30 people, including the extended area in the balcony.&nbsp;<strong>Tip:<\/strong> Be there early to snag the coveted lounge below the red lighted signage; it&#8217;s the most Instagrammed spot at Happy Hour.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>FOOD &amp; DRINKS<\/p>\n<p>The Happy Hour menu is straightforward and simple but&nbsp;are the perfect pairings to&nbsp;the cocktails that are&nbsp;concocted by their head mixologist\/co-owner Carl Ventura.&nbsp;Check out&nbsp;some of the items&nbsp;we tried:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The definite star dishes we&#8217;d recommend you to try on your first visit are the <strong>Huevos Breakfast Platter<\/strong> and <strong>Spam Musubi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the cocktails, here&#8217;s an <strong>insider tip<\/strong> from the owners: the cocktail menu is listed and ranked from lightest (For Liu) down to the strongest (Sayonara), so pace yourselves and plan your orders. Don&#8217;t be afraid to ask any of the owners or their staff about the drinks, they&#8217;re friendly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Their bestselling cocktail is the <strong>B<\/strong><strong>eary Sour Whiskey<\/strong>, it&#8217;s light and sour and fun. On the other hand, the <strong>Call Me New Fashioned<\/strong> is a unique experience, the snickers-infused bourbon leaves a sweet note to the mouth. If you&#8217;re a hard drinker looking for a kick in the head, we recommend you go for <strong>King&#8217;s Cup<\/strong> or go all the way with <strong>Sayonara<\/strong>. But you don&#8217;t have to take our word for it, it&#8217;s always best to try new places&nbsp;out for yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/honeycremeph\">@happyhourmnl<\/a>&nbsp;on Instagram and their official hashtag <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/happyhourmnl\">#happyhourmnl<\/a>&nbsp;to see the latest news and&nbsp;trending conversation about them.&nbsp;DRINK RESPONSIBLY.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a&nbsp;<strong>Booky tip:<\/strong>&nbsp;You may view Happy Hour&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ph.phonebooky.com\/biz\/happy-hour-city-golf-plaza\/\">full restaurant page with menu<\/a><\/strong> on the Booky app. You only have to load it once with internet and it stays there forever even when you go offline.&nbsp;If you\u2019re not already enjoying the offline convenience of Booky, it\u2019s free to download on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ph\/app\/booky-manila-restaurants\/id875812559?mt=8\">iOS<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.scrambledeggs.booky&amp;hl=en\">Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;where every hour is happy hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":19609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[539],"post_tag":[],"malls":[],"booky_location":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8056"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8056"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8056\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":119181,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8056\/revisions\/119181"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8056"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8056"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_tag?post=8056"},{"taxonomy":"malls","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/malls?post=8056"},{"taxonomy":"booky_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/booky.ph\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/booky_location?post=8056"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
