Filling Station - Diner in Poblacion Makati
Poblacion is well known as the entertainment heart of Makati. It’s a lively district that offers a lot of trendy bars, restaurants and themed cafe.
So here’s another cafe/bar/diner reccommendation that we’ve tried when we’re in Manila..
Address: Filling Station Bar and Cafe
5012 P Burgos St., Brgy. Poblacion, Makati City, 1210 Metro Manila
Things to note:
📝 this place is literally lively.. we went here twice.. During our first visit, we experience their hourly show, wherein all the waiter will have a dance at the center, and they will be in their costumes.. then there will be special performances like for “Chucky, he’s a guy with dwarfism he will show off with a fake knife and will take photos for those who want. Then “Elvis Presley” who will sing 🎵 and he really sound like the real one. There will be music “on” the whole time, it might be quite loud for those who doesn’t want noisy places.
📝Good food indeed. i suggest you guys try the “Midgets” you have an option to choose how you want it to be cooked. I think during our time we chose it to be medium done. Then also it’s 3 small burgers in one plate which is good for sharing if you’re going with friends. All the pasta we’ve tried were actually good as well you may have what we had ~ “Three cheese Lasagna” & “Presley’s Pasta”. you can also order the “El dorado” if you want some additional finger foods. 🤗 They have big portion even for dessert, we order the mini banana split and it’s for 4 of us already. 🥲🧐 which is great!
We had a good time during our 2x visit. I hope you’ll have the chance to go here and have fun! Take lots of photo as you want! 🤗 and have a happy tummy!
If you’re visiting Poblacion, Filling Station is a must-try spot to get a genuine feel of Makati’s nightlife scene. Beyond its great food offerings, the place stands out for its unique hourly performances featuring waitstaff dressed in vibrant costumes dancing right in the center of the cafe. This adds an extra layer of entertainment not often found in typical bars or diners. Food portions are generous, which means you can comfortably share dishes like the Midget burgers—three mini burgers on one plate—or indulge in the creamy Three Cheese Lasagna and flavorful Presley’s Pasta. For finger food enthusiasts, the El Dorado seafood platter is also highly recommended. Don’t forget to try their desserts; even the mini banana split is big enough to share among friends. From my experience, the lively music and performance might be a bit loud for those seeking a quiet dining atmosphere, but if you love vibrant spots filled with energy, this is perfect. The retro 1950s American diner theme adds a nostalgic vibe that complements the bustling scene. It’s also easy to snap fun photos with the performers, which makes for great memories. Whether you’re enjoying a night out or just exploring Poblacion’s vibrant street life, Filling Station Bar and Cafe offers a delightful blend of great food, entertainment, and atmosphere that captures the essence of this lively Makati district.
