Cable Car

Cable Car is on the ground floor of CKB Centre at 61 Scout Rallos, a block off Tomas Morato. It's an old name on this strip, and one listing says the bar has been here since 1992. It's casual and a bit loud, and you can walk in without a plan.

Beer pong is the thing it's known for. Primer once credited Cable Car with bringing the beer ball game to the Philippines. There's a beer pong area, screens showing whatever game is on and live music on the stage. A good night here mixes all three.

Drinks are mid range. Ask about cocktail promos, because there's usually one running. Buckets of beer are the easy order for a group. Food is standard bar fare to go with the drinks.

Bands play covers most nights, and the room turns into a sing along once it fills. Back in 2016 Primer listed acoustic Thursdays and DJs on Friday and Saturday, so check their Instagram for the current schedule. The crowd is young QC locals and college groups, plus sports fans on big game nights. Friday and Saturday are when it actually fills up.
