Haze Bar — Restaurant in Cebu

Good spot. A little off the main road so it’s harder to spot unless you look you notice the small pathway to it.

I went twice. They first time they had a dj. Fun music. The cocktails were great. Got a cubano sandwich and it was great. It came with tortilla chips and a hot sauce that was a little spicy and a little sweet and I enjoyed it a lot.

The 2nd time I went they had a live band. The band was really good. Ate some chicken nachos and the portion was decent and they tasted good. I would have personally added some beans to the nachos but I’m just getting picky. The chips seem like they’re fried there, thin and crispy.

The cocktails I tried: Paraiso - play on a mojito made with watermelon and dark rum. So refreshing and so tasty, the only problem I had with it is that it didn’t last for long because I drank it so quickly

Te Coco - tequila pandan cocktail. They char the pandan leaf inside and you smell it while you drink. If you like pandan then this is a great choice for you

Lakatan - I didn’t expect to like this drink as much as I did but it was probably my favorite just because it was a little complex. Banana, pandan, amaro and rum, but you honestly barely taste any of those flavors and they mix into something refreshing and tasty.

Overall I think their cocktails were masterful, the food was very good, the staff was friendly and the venue and music were great.

They have peer pong too if you’re into that.

Hey! I don’t want to do this review, but I feel like I have to. I didn’t feel respected last night.

I went out with my friend, and we ordered a buy one, get one cocktail. We chose the Coolio cocktail, and I was excited to try it since it was new to me. When my cocktail arrived, it was extremely sweet. I could barely taste the alcohol; it was mostly sugar. I thought, "Okay, maybe I can drink it slowly."

I approached the waitress who took our order and politely asked why it was so sweet. She responded as if it were my fault for not specifying that I didn’t want sugar. How on earth was I supposed to know they would serve an overly sweet cocktail?

Anyway, I went to the counter, hoping they could adjust the sweetness. I asked the female bartender if she could add some water, but she seemed upset when I approached her. Instead of helping, she poured a lot of Malibu into my cocktail. I can’t drink something overloaded with alcohol! I was only asking for a little water.

I found that really rude. My God. I think these people should learn proper customer service or at least undergo training on how to handle customers professionally.

In the end, I wasn’t even able to drink what I paid for....

I have mixed feelings about this place. Went to the Haze bar last night with my wife and a friend. The margaritas and the Shisha was on point however whilst presenting the final bill a couple of things went wrong:

We initially got charged for 11 margaritas whereas we had consumed only a total of 8.

Order errors or service misunderstandings are understandable, we are humans - we were told they will verify with the “CCTV” , which we were more than happy to wait for. Less than a minute later, the manager / staff we spoke to said “Let it be, this will take time”.

On the subject of Shisha “We will not serve you Shisha here henceforth”. Seriously ? That’s how you talk to patrons over a few hundred pesos of he said/she said?

Fix your order management & customer service so customers don’t foot bills for your lack of etiquette.

The rest of the staff was perfect , professional, kind & caring - I would say that the place is otherwise deserving of the high praise,...
