The Backdoor
QC (Maginhawa) · Cocktail bar
Tiny 2F bar on Maginhawa. Coffee by day, cocktails at night. Popcorn + fries only for food. Happy hour 2-for-1 deals, live acoustic acts.
The Scene
Up a flight of stairs on Maginhawa, and it's tiny. The Backdoor does coffee during the day and cocktails at night. Homey is the right word for it. Bring your guitar and somebody will jam with you.
Cocktails are around P250 and beer P150, and happy hour is two for one. Food is popcorn and fries, that's it, so eat somewhere on Maginhawa first. Live acoustic acts play through the week. Open daily 6PM til 2AM.
Mostly students and young barkadas from around QC, plus regulars the staff know by name.
