ReCraft

My husband and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at recraft. We know that drinks are what makes them, but we came here for the food. Both were phenomenal, including the ambience, and all the staff were amazing, they even invited us for a tour. This is not going to be the last time for sure, and when we decide to come back, there's going to be more drinks than food! Thank you so much!

ReCraft popped into my IG and I was drawn to the pictures of bowls of noodles. Sent the post to my kids and since its in the QC area, we decided that we should give this place a visit. An opportunity presented itself soon after and I invited the family for a dinner out. Upon arriving, my son said, "its ReCraft. I've been here several times. Its a bar." I asked if he tried the food and he said no. He would just go with friends for drinks. The sign outside is small but you are greeted by an attendant that shows you the entrance and where to park your vehicles. We were greeted by Mark as we entered. Its quite dark so I appreciated the way we were escorted inside. He asked if we made reservations. I said we did and since the place was not crowded we were given a choice between 2 tables. Again, grateful for the table options because one of the tables was directly in front of the air-conditioning air flow. Too cold! Once seated, Mark asked if we have been there before. My son said yes. Again only for drinks and not the food. He asked what type of drinks we preferred and proceeded to give his recommendations. We were also informed of an option to create our own cocktail. So fun! I told Mark I really went there for the food. My finding out that this really was a bar was a bonus. We practically ordered everything that was available on their food menu. Everything we had was very good, but the standouts really were the Thai Fried Chicken, Chili Crab and Smoked fish Noodles, Cebuano Cubano, Chorizo Smashburger and Kaldereta Arancini. When you take the first bite, the flavors just work and pop. We ate too much and probably tired out their chef. And the drinks, stunning and scrumptious! We tried the New Manila, Nada, Libra, Bikini Bottom and a couple of bespoke cocktails. The offerings here are creative and they just work. Kudos to Cheska, our mixologist that evening. Not only great at her craft, charming too. Praises to Mark also, so gracious and very informative. Its nice to see a place where the people who work there look like they are enjoying what they are doing. ReCraft a MUST visit!

The drinks are really well made, and the staff are very friendly. They check on us, are very attentive, and even recommend drinks. A full 100! I’ll definitely come back soon.

I had a fantastic experience! The service and drinks were exceptional. It’s a wonderful place that showcases great attention to detail, creativity, and innovation. 🌟 I enjoyed chatting with the baristas and was impressed by the effort they put into crafting drinks that customers would love. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing, making it an ideal spot to unwind. 🍻🍹

No bad drinks at all. I ordered 2 bespoke cocktails and one off the menu. Food was also great! So glad for Quezon City to finally have an elevated bar available.

Stumbled into this place looking for a bar in QC! What a gem! I would definitely go back when I’m in town next! Delicious cocktails, unbeatable ambience for drinks, awesome crew servicing guests.

Service here was honestly really disappointing. Waiting time for drinks was around 20 minutes, which is questionable for a bar, I get that they were busy, but 20 minutes for cocktails is just too long. We ordered some bespoke drinks and Aira (I think the bar manager) took our order, but after waiting so long, we found out she didn’t even punch it in. When we asked about the bespoke drinks, Aira just kept saying “sorry we don’t have this, don’t have that” instead of trying to suggest an alternative. Normally bartenders are more accommodating, like offering to make something similar, but here it just felt like they didn’t want the extra work and just wanted us to order the drinks from their menu. We ended up ordering their classic cocktails one of which was Sazerac, but honestly they were bad, super harsh and not well-balanced, basically like drinking straight alcohol. Food was the only good thing, but overall the drinks and service were terrible. So much for a hospitality bar.

For a speakeasy its a good place to go to to catch up with friends. Ive heard many good things about this place but the drinks failed to impress. The Lolita could have had more flavor, the clarified pina colada was giving synthetic, and the Gold AF really stuck on the roof of my mouth. That said, the ambiance was stellar and the service was prompt. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong part of the menu that night.
