One of the best spots to visit in Poblacion Makati. The place is known as a bar diving/ entertainment district of Makati. Although the place is a mix between a bar and a restaurant it is open 24/7 makes the place an all around family joint, its a kid friendly place also which offers kids menu as well.
One of the most aesthetic places for sight seeing, Filling Station is a novelty place for those who love the classic Americana. From vintage cars, old long playing records, movie posters from the 50's James Dean, Everly brothers, the Beatles and many more. For me I haven't seen a hub cap all my life but saw a couple here in this restaurant. The neon lights, the music, the elvis posters really makes this place comfy and hype. Every time I visit the place never fails to impress me It's like a photo filled with stuff, that if you look long enough you get to see more details. I often bring relatives here to hangout and eat good food, and I see all kinds of crowds visiting from families, groups of friends, vloggers and even pregnant women.
The place is sort of a diner american cuisine/filipino cuisine. The filling station has a big menu also for everything you might want to eat. All Day Breakfast, Milkshakes and Dessert, Steaks and eggs, Pastas and chicken, All time filipino dishes. Our family ate various dishes and overall the food is more than average it is great. They honor any dietary restrictions, allergies, for overall comfort of the customers. The Milkshakes sweetness can be adjusted upon request, overall the menu is an excellent one for any type of diner.
Overall the dining experience is excellent a highly recommended place for those looking to unwind and relax, also for tourists this is a gem simple Grab ride can bring you here. I highly recommend this place as it is a gem in Makati. The place is not a fine dining establishment but this is definitely the place for dates, hangouts, if you wanna lay back and relax to some good ol music come here and have...
   Read moreI recently visited the Filing Station Bar & CafĂ© in Makati for the first time, and I must sayâit was such a fun and memorable experience!
The place itself is superb, with a unique retro theme that instantly transports you back in time. On the ground floor, youâll find vintage cars, miniature toy cars, and iconic photos of Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, and other legends. We were lucky that the waiting time wasnât long, and once we got to the second floor, the energy of the place really stood out.
The dining area is spacious and full of lively vibes, with staff dressed in different costumesâfrom Wonder Woman and Batman to Chucky and even Mr. Bean! There was also a performer singing like Elvis, plus surprise dance numbers from the crew, which added so much entertainment to the night.
As for the food, yes, prices are a bit on the higher side, but the servings are very generous and definitely worth it. Most dishes are good for sharing, making it perfect for groups. I loved their maltâdelicious and creamy! The best part was they gave me the extra malt in a second stainless glass that was almost half-full, which felt like a bonus treat. The banana split was also huge, easily good for 2â3 people. Despite only ordering rice with chicken, one dessert, and one drink, we left feeling completely full.
Service was also excellent. There were plenty of staff, so we didnât have to wait long for our food, and everyone was friendly and energetic.
Overall, Filing Station Bar & CafĂ© is not just a place to eat, but an experience in itselfâgreat food, generous portions, lively entertainment, and a one-of-a-kind retro atmosphere. Iâll definitely be...

âIf you're looking for a one-of-a-kind dining experience in Makati, look no further than Filling Station Cafe. This isn't just a restaurant; it's a time machine set to the 1950s. Every inch of the place is an over-the-top, nostalgic explosion of retro kitsch, making it an absolute feast for the eyes and a perfect backdrop for some truly memorable photos. Interestingly, despite its location on what's known as Makati's "red light street," Filling Station is surprisingly family-friendly, even offering a kids menu to cater to younger diners.
âThe menu is just as much of an attraction as the decor, offering a massive selection of dishes to satisfy any craving. From classic burgers and salads to Tex-Mex, Filipino favorites, pizza, and pasta, there's a ton to choose from. But no matter what you order for your main, make sure you don't skip the strawberry milkshakeâit's a must-try that perfectly complements the retro vibe.
âAs a note, guests should be aware that there is a photo of a heavyset nude woman displayed on the steps leading up to the restaurant.
âThe waitstaff, all dressed in themed uniforms complete with red Converse sneakers, are incredibly attentive and on top of their game. Even though the place is always bustling, they work efficiently to ensure everyone is taken care of. While it might take a little time to get your order in due to how busy they are, the quality of the food and the unique atmosphere are well worth the wait.
