Cubao Expo

Night life could’ve been extended till early morning especially during weekends, a lot of place closes at 11pm. While brunch options are limited since most of the stores opens at 10am Perhaps the best time to go is around 5pm, but expect the crowd.

Cubao Expo has a vibe you won’t find anywhere else in Quezon City. Walking through it feels like stepping back into the classics—its quirky streets, vintage aesthetic, and the mix of people with all kinds of styles create an atmosphere that’s genuinely unique. It’s the kind of place you shouldn’t miss, especially if you’re already near the Cubao area. From small shops to interesting eats, every corner has its own charm. Whether you’re there to explore, chill, or just soak in the creative, artsy energy, Cubao Expo gives you an experience that stands out. Definitely worth checking out for that one-of-a-kind vibe.

Cubao Expo is arguably the last frontier of the old Araneta Center. I used to buy shoes here but those stores have long gone. What replaced them are some of the best trendy coffee shops and bars in a charming loop with some stores that have been there since I was single(I'm married and have 4 kids now). The downside is that they still have just one bathroom, pay per use at that. I can also imagine that the closing time, as imposed by the owners of the whole loop, is promptly at 1130PM. Nonetheless, the vintage shops a craft brew joints wil get you coming back.

Super crowded when we visited but we were able to get a parking quickly. I love the range of boutiques and the coffee shops were really awesome. We went to Brewman, Habanero Kitchen, Best of Luck, and Good Vibration Vinyl Cafe.

Been here for several times already. They already have a beer craft brewery where you can just get the beer and order food from other restos. Bought a bunch of records also from vinyl dump.

A unique place with many collectibles, restaurants and coffee shops. The environment and atmosphere are very good. But there are few parking spaces here,so need to park outside

The Cubao Expo has been a place for unwinding and catching up with friends. I like to bring friends who I have not seen for quite some time here for us to reconnect over a glass of cold beer. Food and drink options here are superb. There is a nostalgic feel within the expo due to the presence of some vintage shops. The area is relatively safe but it still is better to drink with trusted buddies than going solo. Parking is the only real issue for me with Cubao Expo. Bringing your car inside may be a bit of a drag if you are driving. While this place is far from perfect, I highly recommend drinking here.

This place has been the go-to for students and art crowd. Needs some update and renovations as it feels very old. Nothing bad with old but the place is quite on the fading old condition. Some touch ups and renovations can boost this place to get more customers. Lots of great art finds and restaurants. Looking forward to see this place shine and grow.
