Strumm's Makati

Strumm's has been on Jupiter Street in Bel-Air for years, and it's still a live music bar first. Bands play loud, the room fills up, and people sing along. You come here for the music, not for quiet talk.

Food is a real part of it, not an afterthought, so plan on eating. Drinks sit at mid-range prices. There's a band on most nights, mostly covers you'll already know.

The crowd skews a bit older. Office people after work, groups celebrating something, and regulars who've been coming for years. You'll get younger barkadas too when a friend's band is playing.
