For many office workers in the city, the hours after work are less about grand plans and more about finding the perfect place that will let them shift from deadlines to downtime with ease. Conveniently located at the center of the metro’s business hubs, Richmonde Hotel Ortigas and Eastwood Richmonde Hotel’s bars present reliable after-hours spaces where familiar flavors, fun entertainment, and reasonable prices help guests leave the stress of the day behind.
The Exchange at Richmonde Hotel Ortigas:
Trade Meetings to
Music for Stress-free Weeknights
Offering a cozy setting that feels instantly
welcoming, The Exchange is an inviting refuge for those looking to shake off
the workday without the intensity of a frenzied nightlife. Soft lighting, the
low hum of conversation, and the occasional bursts of laughter create an
atmosphere that is lively without being overwhelming. Open from 4:00 p.m.
Wednesdays to Fridays with no door charge or minimum spend required, guests can
switch from office form to relaxation mode without missing a beat.
Each night brings its own rhythm. Open Mic Wednesdays
transform the bar into an impromptu stage where guests trade the day’s tension
for favorite karaoke anthems. Chill & Jam Thursdays introduce a more
relaxed tempo, with pianist Bobbet Bernadas accompanying singers in a way that
feels spontaneous yet intimate. By Retro Fridays, the mood lifts with
the familiar beats of ’80s classics performed live by the Big Bash Band,
drawing smiles, nostalgic sing-alongs, and sometimes even dance floor showdowns.
Happy Hour is served from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at PhP 725
nett with a choice of unlimited local beer or bottomless featured cocktail
paired with a comforting bar chow. “We see a lot of guests coming straight from
work, still in their office attire,” shares the F&B Manager Ria Rosal.
“They don’t want anything complicated—they just want something easy and
genuine.”
“It’s my go-to spot after work because it’s accessible, safe, and the vibe is just right—not too loud, not too formal,” says a regular patron. “You can drop by alone or with colleagues, and the vibe always helps you reset.”
Eastwood Café+Bar at Eastwood Richmonde Hotel:
Clock Out then
Chill Out, Alfresco Style
Tucked in the heart of Eastwood City, Eastwood
Café+Bar offers a different kind of after-work mood—one that leans into
open-air comfort. This restobar’s alfresco area invites guests to settle into
the evening breeze, with the gentle clink of glasses and easy conversation
creating a laid-back backdrop for relaxation.
From Thursdays to Saturdays, the Double Delight Happy Hour,
available from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., taps into the natural rhythm of the
workweek, when teams begin winding down from deadlines and colleagues look forward
to transitioning into the weekend. With Buy 1, Get 1 offers on local beers and
well-loved cocktails such as margaritas, mango daiquiris, lychee blanco, and
creamy brandy for only PhP 285 nett, the promotion keeps things simple and inexpensive—perfect
for spontaneous catch-ups or last-minute plans. Complimentary snacks like kropek
and spicy peanuts add to the easygoing atmosphere, encouraging guests to settle
in and stay. “We wanted to give guests their own hangout spot,” relays the
F&B Manager Dave Bañez. “A place where conversations flow naturally as the
evening unfolds without pressure.”
To help organize large, hassle-free gatherings, the bar can
serve up an alfresco pica-pica buffet for those customary team dinners,
milestone celebrations, or casual bonding nights with officemates during the
week. It highlights Filipino pub grub favorites with flavors that feel familiar
yet are thoroughly satisfying. A minimum reservation for 30 persons is required
for the buffet at rates as low as PhP 1,000 per person.
A Comfortable Pause Between Work and Home
In neighborhoods defined by movement and productivity, both
bars offer something increasingly valuable: a convenient pause. With accessible
locations, relaxed ambiance, and approachable pricing, Richmonde Hotels
continue to create after-work experiences that feel less like an occasion—and
more like a pleasant habit.
