Tophill Grill and Restaurant

Up in San Mateo, Tophill Grill and Restaurant does grilled food and drinks in a casual restobar setup. It opens at 4PM and runs late on weekends. Open-air and relaxed, nothing you need to dress up for.

Grilled dishes and pulutan come out first, then the beer keeps coming. It's the kind of table where you order more as you go instead of all at once. Music sits in the background at a level you can talk over.

Local barkadas and families from San Mateo and Marikina. Office groups show up Friday nights and stay till closing.
