24/7 Hangout Spots
Recommended establishments operating 24 hours a day!
High Grounds is one of those places you have to visit at least once because there's simply nothing like it! Calling this place a "cafe" is quite misleading since they do operate 24/7, serve alcoholic beverages, and offer an extensive menu selection of both local and international dishes! As if that wasn't enough, they also offer high-end PC gaming services that’s available for rent to anyone who wants to play the latest games or just browse the internet through their ultra high speed connection! I recommend coming here for breakfast, after drinks at the bar, or to play games with the squad!

Go Kizip is one of our favorite places to have a nightcap after a long night of bar-hopping around Timog. It's hard not to notice their location being situated in the middle of Timog and Tomas Morato Circle, their outdoor seating offers a pretty decent view. Operating 24/7, they offer a variety of Korean dishes as well as unlimited barbecue and shabu-shabu, perfect for sobering up early in the morning!

If you've never visited Quezon City Circle, then you just have to. Its literally the CENTER of the city. That tall thing you see in the midle? That's the tombstone of Manuel Quezon (the guy they named the city after) and as far as I can remember, you can get in that building for free, but honestly taking a picture outside is good enough. There's lots of things to do here including street food, shops, biking, and even a mini amusement park, you'll discover all this just walking around. Just make sure to go when the weather's nice since its mostly open and you'll be at the mercy of the elements.

Although recently dropping in quality, Wensha Spa remains one of the biggest and most popular places to get a massage around the area! They're also the only spa that offers a 24/7 buffet included with any type of massage ( just don't expect too much from their food! ) You could easily spend a few hours here just hanging out even before getting your massage! Another thing to note is that their showers are shared so if your conscious about your body, you may want to consider other options!

Must Try Restaurants
My favorite restaurants to eat with family and friends!
Operating since 1968, Alfredo's is one of those rare establishments that has withstood the test of time. Virtually unchanged since its opening, Alfredo's offer a great value for money as a steak dinner here with soup and salad will cost you around 800-1200 Pesos depending on the size and cut of meat. From the vintage ambiance to the high quality steaks, there's a reason Alfredo's has been in business for so long! Definitely worth a visit for carnivores traveling around the area!

WARNING. Macao Imperial Tea is highly addictive! Enter at your own risk! If you do decide to pass by, the only thing you should be ordering is their Cheesecake and Pearl Milk Tea. If you haven't had it before, I highly recommend trying it out. If you have had it before, then you're probably already addicted and need milk tea rehab.

There's nothing quite like fresh hand pulled noodles and Kanzhu does it the best. Aside from noodles, they also serve a variety of Chinese food I don't normally find in other restaurants. Try out their Olive Fried Rice , and Lamb Dumplings!

Operating since 1952, Alba is definitely a must try restaurant when in the city! They're famous for their traditional Spanish cuisine but their "lechon" has to be one of, if not, the best in the entire Philippines! If you don't believe me, try it for your self!

Karaoke lovers might have noticed Music 21 Plaza on the way to the condo. It's the biggest karaoke around the area and its bright yellow walls are hard to miss! They also have different language songs like Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc. Music 21 definitely gives the best value but I don't recommend eating here! Have some shots or beers while singing to your hearts content!

77 is one of the more unique establishments around the area. Detached from the bright lights, LCD screens, and loud music of Timog, the feel of 77 is homey and vintage. It's actually an old house turned into a bar; The lights are dim, and the furniture reminiscent of my grandmother's house. This is the perfect place to go if you want to hear the person next you and have real conversations!
