Manila (Ermita) · Live music venue
Long-running live-music restobar chain branch in Ermita with roughly two live bands nightly from around 8PM, plus food, drinks and DJs. Popular with locals.
Cowboy Grill on A. Mabini corner Arquiza Street is the one that started it all. This Ermita spot was the chain's first branch, and it's been running live bands since the mid nineties. It sits right on the corner, so it's easy to spot from Mabini.
Bands are the reason to come. There are usually about two live bands a night, starting around 8PM, playing OPM and Western rock covers. DJs fill the gaps between sets. Over the years this stage helped launch acts like Aegis, so the house bands take it seriously. It's loud, and that's fine.
The food is grill and bar food, the kind you order for the table. Pitchers of beer are what most groups go for, and there are cocktails and hard liquor too. The kitchen serves late, which helps when you're still there at 3AM. Hours run into the early morning every night, and past dawn on weekends.
The crowd is mostly locals. Office groups, barkadas, and a few tourists from the Ermita hotels. It's friendly to everyone, including LGBTQ guests. Fridays and Saturdays get packed. If you want a good table near the stage, show up before the first band. Sports go on the screens too when there's a big game.
“Live bands every night and pitchers of beer — a Manila live-music staple.”
