Came here on a Saturday night for the first day of English Premier League season to watch the Spurs Southampton game which was advertised as being aired in Philippines and also grab some food. Purely because this place claims to be a SPORTS BAR and there are reviews that claim it's a good place for watching the EPL. Found it difficult to get a table even though it was apparent there were some not being sat at and was told only the bar was available, I explained there are no screens within easy visibility from the bar and not that easy to eat. Manager had an attitude which did not help. Was going to try elsewhere but the rain and time before kick off made me try again and eventually a table was made available. Ordered Fish and Chips, tiny portion and came with tiny portion of fries not chips. Nearly PHP 500?? But that would have all been irrelevant had I been able to watch the game. Sadly that bit didn't work out. Firstly they didn't know what channel the premier league games were playing on so missed first 10 minutes of the game while the army of staff took it in turns to look in a really disinterested way. This bar streams the games online and it's internet is sooo bad the game constantly froze every 5 seconds. Truly embarrassing and horrendous experience. I ended up following the game on my phone and left at half time. The excuse was that it was raining. I'm getting used to that one here. But the basketball on the big screen that noone was watching played perfectly. They refused to play it on the big screen because apparently someone was watching I couldn't see who. Everyone seemed to be much more interested in Beer Pong. The issue seems to be this bar subscribing to cheaper streaming options versus proper cable channels. Manila can do a lot better for Sports bars so I will hope there is something better here..surely...This is a beer pong bar not a sports bar and also I would say a very popular beer pong bar. And I would say expat accomodating versus expat friendly. I've been here twice, same frosty vibe both times. Not a serious sports bar. I've been in loads all over the world. YouTube worked perfectly when I got back to my...
Read moreAn overpriced poor establishment that survives by adding hidden charges and ripping off customers.
Beers shown have increased by 20% then when you go to pay they add another 10% service charge. Total rip off and the beers aren't even cold
Sports is drowned out by loud music and customers carrying on. This is not a sports bar by any stretch of the imagination. You couldn't hear the commentary. It was a very poor uninspiring atmosphere
The food is expensive and the staff have a couldn't care less attitude. Very bad service. The management are a disgrace and try belittle someone for an honest review of their terrible establishment.
No staff approached or welcomed me and no one came to serve me I waited for ages then went to the bar. But my reviews are totally honest like like the lies displayed in their dishonest beligerant response. There Was no approach by staff and no staff member spoke to me until was walking out of this dump which was in a hot stuffy, not air conditioned place with disgraceful service and management who can't accept criticism.
I would never recommend this place with terrible staff and management. It's overpriced, no air conditioning horrible, uncomfortable chairs and not worth the rip off prices
So glad I walked out.
I would never return here. I wouldn't give it a rating of 0 out of 10. If it were up to me I would rate it negative 10 out of 10.
Grumpy management who operate an appallingly bad venue.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME or MONEY at THIS TERRIBLE BUSINESS THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT...
Read moreSkinny Mike’s has changed venues but is still in BGC, and the new place manages to keep the same vibe we loved from the old spot. The setup is different, but it still feels familiar and welcoming.
Since its rebranding in 2019, Skinny Mike’s is no longer the full-on “sports bar” it was when it first opened in 2013. These days, it feels more like a community bar — a place where both regulars and newcomers can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, good drinks, and great company.
That said, they haven’t abandoned their roots entirely: they still show special sports events and have even added Formula 1 to the lineup — a big plus for racing fans like me! They’ve also installed a huge screen for this, which makes the experience even better.
And if you can, don’t miss the nights when their home band, samtingrong, is playing — they bring incredible energy and make the vibe even more fun.
Overall, whether you’ve been a fan of Skinny Mike’s since the early days or you’re just discovering it now, the new location carries the same friendly, laid-back spirit that made the original so popular.
Just keep in mind, though, that you’re going to a bar — for what it offers, it’s a solid experience, but you shouldn’t compare it to upscale...
