Vasco’s

Top choice in Around Manila


Popular with the expat community and with a breezy deck looking back over the bay, this ‘pirate’ bar and restaurant is a prime drinking spot and grill restaurant. To get here from the CBD take an ‘Airport-Cubi’ Winstar (P9). Aussie owner Brian Homan is an accomplished shipwreck explorer who has been diving in the Philippines forever.

Some of the porcelain, WWII relics and other treasures salvaged by Homan are on display in the small Magellan Museum. There are also a few neat rooms for rent (from P2800).
