Game On at Handlebar! Makati’s Best Sports Spot! 🏈 ⚽️ 🎾 🏏

#manila #makati #sportsbar #beergarden Handlebar is the kind of place that feels like home the moment you walk in. Tucked down Polaris Street just off the main strip in Makati, this sports bar is a favourite among expats and locals alike, offering a relaxed, authentic atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding. The shaded beer garden at the front is my highlight—grab a seat, order a cold drink, and join the crowd chatting and cheering as they watch the game on one of the four outdoor screens. Inside, even more screens ensure you never miss a moment of the action. Owned by an Aussie, the menu is a delicious mix of hearty bar food with an Australian twist and local specialties. With two pool tables and a mix of expats, travellers, and locals, the vibe is friendly and inclusive. Handlebar isn’t trying to be fancy; it’s all about good times, great company, and a love for sports. Top tip: Keep an eye out for the life-sized stuffed kangaroo inside—it’s a quirky touch that adds to the charm! 📍Address: 31 Polaris Street, Makati
