KALMA Bar & Grill

KALMA Bar & Grill is at 36 P. Paterno St. in Barangay Parang, Marikina. Online it also goes by KALMA Unltd. It's a straightforward bar and grill with a small stage and plenty of room for groups. A 2023 write up described it as semi al fresco and well ventilated, with the grill out back so the smoke stays away from your table. Lots of small bulbs hang from the ceiling, which looks nice at night.

Music starts around 7PM. A live band or acoustic act plays OPM and the songs everyone knows. It's loud enough to feel like a night out, but you can still talk.

The food is Filipino pulutan, and it's why a lot of people come back. Sizzling sisig, lechon macau, spicy chicken wings and an overload nachos plate are all on the list. They also do their own take on dinakdakan. The beer selection is solid, and there are cocktails if you want something sweeter.
