Thinking of a way to chill out after office or over weekend, you can check them out. They have food for diners and barchow for party goers. In case you missed it, they have KTV or "Canta rooms" that uses Platinum karaoke for updated list of songs. Yes, you've heard it right and that's not all, it's fully consumable with rate starting at P1,200 and P2,400, so you can enjoy eating while singing with your friends, fam and colleagues. Great news they're open 24/7 so check them out.
For the food review, I've tried the following:
-Nachos: a must try if you want some sweet cheesy sauce, priced at P419
-Tofu sisig: A healthy option side order, priced at P179 and P669.
-French Fries: Good pair with your beer and cocktails, priced at P139 and P499
-Cheese sticks: this is #ChryzhFoodies personal pick, generous amount of cheesy goodness priced at 199 and P759
-4th of July: perfect pair with your alcoholic beverage, comprising of Spicy Buffalo wings, beer battered onion rings and spicy cheese, priced at P599.
-Calamares: also one of my pick, squid is cooked perfectly, enjoy it with their dip, priced at P219 and P839.
-Pink Party: cuttie big bowl of cocktail, great for group of drinkers particularly for ladies.

When you’re in the vicinity of Bonifacio Global City, and you run a food business, one must be competitive. 121 found their niche in the Stopover, being the only restaurant & bar offering videoke rooms to customers.
On this sponsored invite, our team had access to check out this place’s familiar bar chows, as well as some uniquely curated spirits.
121 served us a platter of cheesy Nachos, French Fries, and my personal recommendation on the 4th of July set, which has spicy buffalo wings, chili fries, and beer-battered onion rings.
There were also solo plates of classic Tofu Sisig, Cheese Sticks, Calamares, and Siomai.
For alcoholic drinks, there was a big bowl called Pink Panty and a single serving of a refreshing blue cocktail.
What’s your favorite song? Come by on the third floor of BGC Stopover soon and chill with your officemates.
Food is good. It’s just expensive if you’re not using zomato gold.
Excellent food.. Liempo, shanghai, porkchop, etc. Price of the food is not so expensive. The service was fast and servers were attentive. Good experience all throughout
Love their food! Try their liempo, lumpiang shanghai and siomai. Great place to hang and drink beer.
affordable and good tasting food as long as you bring a friend and have zomato gold handy.
Great food and great karaoke bar at the heart of BGC. Great service as well from their staff. Marj who took our order was friendly and polite.
Great place to unwind after a long day at work. good food and accomodating waiters and waitresses. i like the platter, sisig, fries and cheese sticks
121 is famous for its filipino food. Especially the pork liempo which is the all time favorite of everybody. It uses a 121 special soy sauce also so dont forget to try it .. we also got the pork sisig which is not my favorite but it okay.... we got the monggo soup also which is very good. Overall this place is great
My rating is mainly because I enjoy their rice meals. Good value for your money.
There are karaoke rooms and you can hear them singing from the outside, which is bearable.
This is to commend Rodel & Carl for being able to accommodate us despite of many customers and full pack reservations for rooms.
Thank you for the good assistance.
We didn't have a reservation but Rodel and Carl found a way to accommodate our party. Kudos for superb service and awesome drinks! Will definitely be back!
You should definitely order their margarita!!!! Its like frozen margarita and shaved! The nachos are jam packed! you can really enjoy the karaoke. But make sure to reserve before you go since its really booked ahead of time due to great demand.
Not really a place for food but a perfect place to grab a beer or something with someone. Food is cheap but they taste good it is not ok for dinner with someone as you wont have time for chitchat
I like the 121 here at Bonifacio Stopover because it has videoke rooms (compared to Magallanes branch, there is none), and I feel like this branch serves more pieces of Kalamares than Magallanes branch, too! (Lol).
---
Ordered the chicken wings platter. It's so good, i don't know what it's called! It's brownish and has this sweet flavor! Also, lumpiang shanghai, kalamares, siomai (both fried and steamed), and mushrooms.
Our group ordered Sinigang and Sisig, and it was a perfect combination. The price is just right. Kuddos to the staff who were very attentive, courteous and even offered free drinks on our next visit!
There will always be room in my heart for 121's Crispy Pata. This is the perfect buddy to your cold beer. Highly recommend trying this. It's a little pricey for pulutan but this will not disappoint.
Been a LOYAL customer since 2015. I have always loved the food and cleanliness, the service I get especially from Cathy and Carl. Shoutout to Manager Rhea who is so courteous and polite. Best place to be after a long, tiring day.
Price is more than fair, in my opinion. Was charged Php1200 per hour for the karaoke room, which fit 7 of us, and it was also consumable. So for 2 hours, we spent Php2400 on food and drinks while singing our hearts out.
Their drinks are affordable too! I actually expected it to be pricey since most KTV places are, but they weren't. Food choices were okay, a bit pricey but that's pretty much it. Eat less, drink more I guess? Haha!
Was pretty awkward that the KTV rooms were transparent though. Must be why my friends couldn't go crazy while singing?
Waitresses were pretty hard to call because there were a lot of customers, but they were nice the whole time though!
a good place to drink and dine. love their pork siomai and cheese sticks. you must try their cheese sticks!. love their nachos too. actually their food do not disappoint. and the kuyas are accommodating.
Here last weekend to celebrate friendship lol!
I ordered my favorite fried lumpia which is by far, the most delicious, most memorable and most superb fired lumpia I've ever tasted in my whole gastronomic life. The price is fair for the amount of servings and the taste of the lumpia. It's unli-sauce as well lol!
The location is cool, like literally cool since it's well air conditioned and they also have outside seating. They are also located on the top most floor of the building overlooking the road so you'll feel the breeze, atleast at night.
Let's rate them shall we?
Food: 4/5
Ambiance: 4.5/5
Service: 3/5
Value for money: 4/5
They have very nice employees, great music and excellent location. 😀 And the best part is, their smoking area is back!!!! Come and visit them guys! Drink, chat and have fun!🙌🎉🍻
After my stressful days, the only thing more relaxing than being in my own bed is being able to mingle with good friends at our go-to-place.

The attendants are very accomodating. No complaints except for the smoking area. I need to smoke. Looking forward to seeing a DSA. But overall staff is very friendly and very very nice! Will definitley go back. Kudos to the staff and crew of 121 bgc stopover.
Great job guys! :)

Okay, will not talk about the videoke rooms haha so reviewing this place as a food place. Friends and I usually go here from time to time to have dinner (just infront of our office yay!). Here are the dishes we've tried a couple of times:
Binagoongan - always part of our orders. The pork in the dish is very crispy and tasty though the bagoong part is quite too salty for my liking (I usually just give it to my officemate who seem to like it a lot). Not too saucy/soupy like how others cook binagoongan which makes it good :D
Siomai - theirs might be the best siomai in BGC, even better than those you can get from Chinese restaurants in my opinion. They have this home-made feel and taste to it. Brings back childhood memories as this is usually how my aunts/grandparents/relatives cook siomai for our family get togethers
Laing - so-so, tastes like any typical laing although I think they haven't prepared this that well and has that itchy feeling on your throat after eating. Not gonna try again
Shanghai rolls - one of the good stuff as well. Theirs are sliced into bite size pieces so you can enjoy them. Filling also has this distinct home-made taste to it
They also always seem to promote their 121 special sauce a lot though I still dont get the difference from soy sauce with vinegar haha

7:00PM, Saturday
After an eventful Saturday, you have to say yes to a bottle of beer and some bar chows from any local establishment. Got lucky and ate out at 121 with a friend of mine who's been to the place and I have to say this place ain't bad at all. Not to mention they also have 3 karaoke rooms ideal for groups of 5-6. I ordered chicken barbecue and I liked it. Don't forget to munch on their onion rings, sadly no photo to share with you as we finished them up in an instant!
Every Thursday AM (after shift), my workmates and I gather here for that beer session. The servers are polite although it's hard to get their attention since we're always seated outside (because some of us smoke) and because we're a really big group. Lumpiang Shanghai is the favorite and the scorpion bowl of rum and coke. Maybe add more umbrellas to block the sun? Or get bigger ones? :)
To go place for that after shift one bottle myth lol. Quite affordable as well. Their food's not that good for me though but it'll do. Quite hard to get the staff's attention especially if you're seated outside.
What makes this so great is the free use of ktv for a certain amount worth of food ordered.
They also have accommodating and friendly staffs.
First time to dine in here. Place is great! My friend always come to one of their branch in Makati. We decided to try the BGC branch. To his surprise, one of the attendant was from the Makati branch. Good times and Good talk. We ordered their spicy wings and dynamite. It’s tasty and the spice is tolerable! :)
There's plenty of parking space and very convenient to relax after work. ;)
..had fun celebrating my friend's pre-birthday treat, surprisingly too the tuyo and sardine pastas were yummy and the vegetable royale dish was fresh and oh so crunchy! it was sooo lovely when it was partnered w/ their steamy rice.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
121 has been a neighborhood favourite in the heart of Makati. They now have 5 branches in Metro Manila and being a frequent customer of their Allegro and Libis branches, I was thrilled to find out that they have expanded in BGC. One of their newest locations is tucked on the 3rd floor of the BGC Stopover Pavillion. The place was smaller compared to other branches but it's nothing short of amazing. My friends and I still had so much fun.
Aside from being known as a bar that hosts trivia/quiz nights and home to fabulous brews and mixes, 121 also has a menu of mouthwatering Pinoy comfort food, with the most notable highlight being their Grilled Pork Liempo, Adobo, Chicken BBQ, and Porterhouse Steak.
Aside from these, my personal favourites are the Lumpia Shanghai and Beef Salpicao. And since I love soups, I also greatly enjoyed their Chicken Binakol. The refreshing coconut water is subtly sweet and the chicken balances it up with savory deliciousness.
With an enviable location a block away from bustling Bonifacio High Street and The Fort Strip to boot, 121 is the perfect place for those who want to spend a night with great music, drinks, and comfort food.
Place is comfy. I love their entourage where there's wall with synthetic grasses for photo enthusiasts. You can do a lot in this resto. Invite your friends to jam in a karaoke, or watch performances in the bar, or simply chillax outside the bar overlooking the busy streets of BGC. I recommend this my colleagues who want to enjoy a nightlife in BGC.
It was my first time to be invited for a foodie quiz night hosted by Zomato at 121 Bonifacio Stopover. Located at the third floor of BGC Stopover Pavillion, Rizal Drive corner 31st Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, this is 121's newest branch in the Metro, . Normally, they host their quiz nights at Allegro branch (this one is an exemption). I also figured out that they were the first ones to introduce beer pong here in the Philippines (cool, right?).
Good food reasonable price. :) Good service from the waiters. Enjoyed the stay with good friends! Could use good ventilation outside though..
I was invited by Zomato at their first Quiz Night at 121 Bonifacio Stopover.
As we're having the quiz night, we were served the 121 Scandal, The 121 Scandal is a mix of rum, Sprite, mint, lemon and lime. It is a smooth cocktail drink you can enjoy throughout the evening.
We were also served the Lumpiang Shanghai, Beef Salpicao and Chicken Binakol. I enjoyed the Lumpiang Shanghai with my cocktails, found the Beef Salpicao lacking flavor and the Chicken Binakol amazing.
We also had the Grilled Pork Liempo and Tuyo Fried Rice. The Grilled Pork Liempo is good enough without the 121 sauce. I love it. The serving Tuyo Fried Rice but really salty because of the tuyo.
We also were served the White Chocolate Cheesecake.
The food was satisfying but could be better but the experience was amazing.
There is always a first time for everything and I'm always excited to try new things. Because most of the time, they are the ones that brings so much fun and great memories. So when a few weeks ago when I was honored to be invited for the first ever Zomato Philippines Quiz Night; though I have worked that night, I still accepted the invitation. Well, it was my first time to attend one, and I couldn't miss it for the world.
The experience I had with the Quiz Night organized both by 121 and Zomato was wonderfully amazing. It is an experience I will never forget. That's why starting now, I will invite my buddies here for a fun, happy, and noisy night out.
During the Quiz Night,. we were served the following:
1. LUMPIANG SHANGHAI- it was so good, that personally, I think it was the best dish of the night. Such an awesome dish!
2. SIZZLING BEEF SALPICAO- it was also a good dish, but not a stand out like the Lumpiang Shanghai and the Grilled Pork Liempo.
3. GRILLED PORK LIEMPO- this was also really VERY TASTY, one of the STAND OUT dishes of the night.
4. TUYO FRIED RICE- a GREAT compliment to the Grilled Pork Liempo! Such great partners those two, I can't stop eating because of this.
5. WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE- for starters, I'm not such a fan of desserts- but this one tasted good!
ALL IN ALL, I can't wait to come back to 121! Looking forward to a QUIZ NIGHT with my friends again.
This was actually my first time to check out the BGC Stopover Pavilion, which opened in the middle of last year. It’s an “open-style” three-story building with an air well in the middle, which I like. All the restaurants and shops have access to a “balcony”, each one gets some air and natural light.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Last week, I attended the first ever Zomato Quiz Night, hosted by 121 at the BGC Stopover.
121 Grille and Restaurant
There are five branches of 121, and this one is located at the corner of the third floor of BGC Stopover. They have a bar on the left side of the main dining area, and three canta (karaoke) rooms, which cost P1,200 per hour, consumable.
It is mostly an “entertainment” place, where you go with your friends to unwind after work with some drinking, some karaoke, or participate in games like quiz night, beer pong, etc…
THE FOOD
The food at 121 is bar food – we had the Lumpiang Shanghai (P759, barkada size) with sweet chili sauce on the side, it was okay. Not bad. Not unforgettable, either. Next was the Chicken Binakol Soup (P269), which I thought was good, a tad salty, but was fine for me.
The best dish in my opinion, was the Grilled Pork Liempo (P219) – this was a really good, honest-to-goodness grilled liempo that made me recall my college days. There was a lot of meat and not too much fat. Make sure to eat it with their signature 121 sauce!
The Sizzling Beef Salpicao (P349, solo size) was okay, but I kept finding myself going back for the Grilled Liempo. For rice, we had the Tuyo Fried Rice (P199).
For dessert, we had a small slice of White Chocolate Cheesecake, which was just a regular no-bake cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, but nonetheless, still delicious.
SUMMARY
Quiz night was fun! There were about 40-50 of us, grouped into 8 teams. Being a Zomato event, the topic, of course, was FOOD!
It was quite entertaining, and I see the appeal of going out to these kinds of things. Everyone was laughing, hilarious things were said by friends and new acquaintances, everyone was having a good time. How could we not? With people naming their teams Team Ho Wan Tu Wan (we were at 121, get it? hahaha), Team Ba, Pata Team, etc…?
The host, Brian Banta of 121, was good – witty, banter-y but non-offensive. This is to reassure those who might be worried that the humor might not be wholesome – Brian doesn’t make fun of the audience or anything like that.
The food was good, but average, except that I really liked their Grilled Liempo and Chicken Binakol.
I am not one of those people who enjoy hanging out in bars – I would rather spend the night watching TV or reading at a coffee shop. However, the grilled liempo is quite delicious that I would actually go back to have it again.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
The latest branch of 121 at Stopover Bonifacio echoes some of the things that are nicest about this group of restaurants while having a character of its own. For instance, it has three "kanta" rooms, available for P1200 an hour, fully consumable; I've seen these rooms offered in Eastwood and their Allegro branches. Also, it has retains some of 121's most classic dishes, like their grilled liempo with rice, which made the Salcedo "beer garden" branch a neighborhood favorite.
The evening we visited as guests of 121 and Zomato for Zomato’s first own quiz night, 121 style - 8 rounds, 10 questions, with breaks every two rounds or so, so people could eat and socialize. It’s a different style from Murphy’s, or the quiz battles run by the Geekfight people; this is the format I like the most. So yes, this is, indirectly, also a plug for 121 Allegro Makati.
In between rounds, we were served generous trays of lumpia, and one of their classic cocktails, Scandal. That was followed by chicken binakol, or ginger-scented chicken in coconut broth, beef salpicao with mushrooms, the grilled liempo (already chopped, it’s usually served whole), and cheesecake for dessert.
While 121’s food is probably more "pub grub" than "gastro pub,” it is simple and satisfying - maybe a little less on the mark than at Allegro… The "magic" soy sauce that accompanies their grilled liempo wasn’t quite the same; those who go to the other branches know this is one of their secret weapons.
More than that, the evening was great for Zomato camaraderie, and a test of culinary knowledge, with a ton of laughs. Brian Banta, owner and our quiz host, as his co-host, Hans Co, are just the best.

Had the opportunity to try this restobar due to an invitation from Zomato for its first quiz night. Aside from trying to answer correctly all questions that involved food, we were also able to sample firsthand their offerings.
The food was so-so for me. Nothing really stood out except for the grilled pork liempo which is tender and flavorful especially with the addition of the 121 special sauce. I find the chicken binakol (tinola but made from coconut meat and juice) too salty, however, the chicken was tender. The lumpiang shanghai made a pretty good bar chow. The tuyo rice has a fragrant smoky-salty smell, but it disappeared in the dish as it was bland. It could be a great pairing with the grilled liempo though.
121 started as bar so they know their cocktails well. They later realized that they have the opportunity to be a resto bar, so they tried offering classic favorites as well. They are off to a good start I think.
121 can be used for company parties or private functions. They also have two karaoke rooms where you can sing your hearts out everyday. It is open 24 hours. Entertainment is their strength as proven by the successful quiz night held.
Do visit 121 to unwind, relax, and enjoy what life has to offer.

Zomato's First Quiz Night! And I feel honored to be invited to this exclusive event along with Manila's top foodies. The venue: 121 Bar located on the 3rd floor of the Bonifacio Stopover Pavillion in BGC.
121 is a bar and grill that has grown in popularity due to its well-orchestrated weekly quiz nights. In between rounds of trivia questions about food, music, and movies, we were served some of the bestsellers on 121's menu.
The lumpiang shanghai and the tuyo fried rice are good. The lumpiang shanghai was served in bigger-than-bite-size portions, and I am happy that 121 did not do anything too clever or "cheffy" with the recipe. The tuyo fried rice was certainly not wanting in that smoky fish flavor. I thought these two were the more successful dishes of the night.
The grilled liempo was just okay, so make sure you have a bottle of 121's signature sauce handy to help kick the flavor up a notch. Pair this dish with the tuyo fried rice.
I found the chicken binacol bland, and the chicken meat slightly overcooked.
The sizzling beef salpicao is okay as far as bar chow goes. This dish is better paired with plain or steamed rice than fried rice.
121 is not a dessert place, so we did not expect too much from its white chocolate cheesecake. When you're done partying at 121, there are a number of coffeeshops nearby should you require coffee and sweets before heading home.
Entertainment is what the people behind 121 do best. It holds weekly quiz nights, live bands, stand-up comedy, and other fun events. So follow 121 on Facebook in the link below for more information on upcoming events.
https://m.facebook.com/121resto/
I give the food 3.0 stars, and the event 4.5 stars. Overall rating: 3.75 stars.
