Nice bar with live bands on some days.
Has indoor with air-conditioning and alfresco having a view of Manila Bay.
4:00pm to 8:00pm is happy hour.
Sisig, humba and crispy pata were good.
Price is a bit high.
The crew were all accommodating and fast in serving.
Crowd is also ok, mostly 30's and above crowd.
Nice bar with nightly live bands playing Blues and rock music. Chicken fajitas, crispy pata and gambas were all good. Service can be slow on busy nights though.
This one is a great place to meet with friends and enjoy some live music.
I absolutely enjoy the musicians that they hire since they perfectly suit the ambiance of the place. Personally, I enjoy their blues.
The place doesn’t get too crowded and is well ventilated which is very important. However, they are on the pricey side of the market.
Wow. Just wow. Staff is excellent. Band is a fab. I recommend nachos and crispy pata together with your bucket of beer. Kudos guys. Keep it up.
Haven't tried the food there.
But the place is really good. Never really imagined myself going to a place like that. Full of oldies with big motorcycles plus blues music.
The blues band are all good. Really really good music!!!!

Been with my dad to this place for my ninong's birthday celebration. The ambiance was nice and had a very southern feel to it. The food was great too although it was kinda pricey. Would recommend to people who wants to try a place where they can have fun and reminisce the era of 80's. 👍
Been coming to this bar for years. I love the aura, the live music, and the good food and beer. Love the fact that they play music I could actually relate to - the Blues: the whole place is dedicated to it - the interior is filled with posters and decorations, even guitars hanging on the wall - all dedicated to a sacred music. Even the bands are amazing - Ian Lofamia Band are my favorite (Ian's great with the harmonica, plus he can pull off a Howlin Wolf/BB King voice). It really is great to be drinking beer to your kind of music. The staff is very friendly, the food is great, I like their burgers in particular, and the service is really fast. The only complaint I have is that the establishments next door constantly compete with the music, I think it's Icebergs - they have their own guy singing outside with a guitar that's out of tune, and a constipated voice - huge downside if you're a smoker, you have to sit outside and though The Roadhouse has speakers outside as well so you can hear the band, the posers next door still compete and it's very annoying especially nobody even claps for them, and they sing really corny "emo" songs.
But other than that 5/5, would recommend the place to a friend. Try out the Tondo Dynamites - they're great.

Very good ambience and interior. Texas-y, Vegas vibe makes it fancy but I didn't really enjoy the band. Maybe when we had the chance to catch the other live bands I will enjoy my stay. I just think that kind of screamo/growl vibe is too much for the place. Restroom 3/5, crew 4/5. The food is nice though, it justifies a bit pricey tag. The beer buckets we're a bit too pricey for almost 600 pesos/6 bottles.
This blues joint resto bar is a perfect place for all the bikers in town. The ambiance is good, the food is also good and the live band is a plus. Serving is good but it's not really a place for those who are in a budget. They have happy hours though, so you might want to catch those timings.
Whenever Im in Manila and I want to unwind I always choose this place. I love their sisig with fries! It is not that oily very good food especially if with a bucket of beer!
The place is so cool and i feel so comfortable. There are tables outside for those who wanted to smoke. A bit pricey but for me it is worth it!
Because its friday??Chilled Margaritas ??,I ordered 1 only,i was surprised they served two,,its promo pla buy1get1? --listening to live band (rock)music with my chinese friend? #myfooddiary #fridaynyt #chill
PERFORMANCE HUB: Blues Music
The Road House Manila Bay is easily located on the Mall of Asia by the Bay area near the ferris wheel. You cannot miss it's bright, beaming red sign in the hours of the evening.
The establishment itself is a feast for the eyes, with all sorts of decoration dedicated to what the place is all about - Blues music. The chairs and tables are all very bar fashioned with high wooden chairs and tables. It is non-smoking inside, so there are tables in both the front and back entrance.
My best friend and I have found ourselves routinely coming here on Saturday evenings, with the occasional Friday's every now and then. To be frank, we first started going here and have always come here for one main thing - THE MUSIC. The Road House hosts an amazing number of talented Blues bands of different vibes all month long, with most being regular weekly acts. (You can check the band schedules on the Road House Facebook page or official website). The fact is - this is THE place to be if you are a fan of the Blues genre and would like to see professional acts. Also, the musicians are very friendly and enjoy making friends with the diners.
I also love the HAPPY HOUR, which is from 4-8pm where you can get a buy one take one 1L beer for just P300! They also have bucket/food package combos which is great for groups.
Regarding the menu, it may come off as a little pricey but the serving sizes are pretty good considering that. The onion rings and potato wedges are quite big and filling. I have had the Bacon Mushroom Burger more than once and definitely recommend it Their pizzas are fairly priced for something that is good to share and they don't skimp on the mozarella cheese, I assure you.
Service-wise, I would say if you are a regular, you may definitely get a little bit more special treatment when it comes to getting alcohol refills. When my best friend and I were new patrons though, the staff were still quite consistent to respond to our raised hands. But regardless of who you are, when the place starts to get packed, service can get a little bit slow for everyone. Despite that though the waitresses, bouncers, barmen, etc. are all very friendly, which is always a plus for any dining experience.
So to break down my rating, I am giving this establihsment a 4.0 for the staff and food but a definite 5.0 for the ambiance and performances. So if you do the math, that's a solid 4.5 over-all. I look forward to going back here all the time and have been recommending it to many of my friends. It is a great place to unwind after a long weekend of work.
