ULH - Marikina

Ultimate Liempo Haus Marikina, known as ULH, sits at Lot 2D on Mayor Gil Fernando Avenue in Barangay Sto. Nino. It is a resto and bar with outdoor seating, and it has branches in Makati and Las Piñas. Google puts it at ₱1 to ₱500 per person.

The mood is a casual drinking house with music and a billiard table. A reviewer called it the go to spot for a chill night and praised the friendly staff, the music and the drinks. Reviews also tag the billiard table as a draw. The page does not post a regular band or DJ line up, so ask staff what is on the night you go.

The name gives the menu away. Reviewers talk about the pork belly and marinated liempo, and Google highlights the sizzling garlic pork belly. Buttered chicken and chicken skin are the other favourites, and the drink list includes a Smirnoff Mule. A past visitor asked for a bigger menu tarpaulin so prices are easier to read, so ask for the printed menu.

Hours are Sunday to Thursday from 5PM to 3AM, and Friday and Saturday from 5PM to 4AM. The page offers reservations, takeout and delivery. It opened holiday reservations for birthdays and Christmas parties, so book a table early. Call 0998 548 6389. Roadside Bar and Grill is on the same avenue.
