If there’s one thing I learned from going to bars and restaurants, it’s that Filipinos love to have a good time. And this doesn’t just happen on weekends. On weekdays, after work or school, people love to go out for dinner followed by drinks with their friends. Not only is this a way to unwind but it’s also a way to kill time while waiting for traffic to die down. But, if you’re constantly going out to eat and drink, you’ll burn through your cash in a snap. Luckily for you, bars and restaurants have weekly drink promos even on weekdays. These range from discounts on bottles, beers, and unlimited cocktails. So, if you’re looking for somewhere to spend your time after work this week, check out these spots.
