New York on My Mind at Citizen Pub
Friday, April 27, 2012Sometimes exploring your own neighborhood is an adventure in itself.
Those were the thoughts running through my head when I was browsing through a travel magazine that featured some bars in Manila. Then a picture caught my eye. Could it be? No way.
A New York brick building straight from the Lower East Side.

The facade of the building came straight out of an episode of How I Met Your Mother. For a bar, I was impressed at how wholesome the first floor looked. There were families having pizza, friends enjoying drinks and couples out on date night.

The search for the best french fries in Manila is over! Theirs had savory seasoning and wonderful texture. Warning: you'll find yourself craving a huge bag of their fries for days after.
The Beer Factor

First Class Service
We were most impressed by the service. There was a quick turnaround on drinks. They made sure we had everything we wanted. Chris had some pretty high standards when it comes to service. He had been working in restaurants in the US for a few years. There was even a moment when he thought we were getting served by the owner himself! They were that good!
Meeting Emil

His vision was to create a classy pub for him and his friends to hang out. Eventually the idea evolved into opening a place with great American comfort food. He wanted repeat customers to enjoy not just the drinks but the dining experience as well.

If you make it out to Citizen Pub this weekend, do a couple of things for me: 1 Say hi to Emil 2 On the first floor, look down. That wooden floor is just beautiful!
