Wine, Cheese, a Sunset and More at Oz Bar

When the sun sets, some wine and cheese by the pool is always a good idea.

Located by the pool at Holiday Inn & Suites Makati's roof deck, Oz Bar is the perfect spot to catch the sunset with some wine and cheese. And more...

Pick your spot by the pool and enjoy the setting sun as it dips behind the Makati skyline. A bottle of Prosecco is prepared and placed in an elegant ice bucket by the pool, and you're all set (for more on Oz at Holiday Inn & Suites Makati, see my earlier post from three years ago here at Sunset at Holiday Inn's Oz Bar). 

From gin, rum, tequila, vodka, Scotch whisky, bourbon, brandy, cognac, wine, aperitifs, and liqueurs to hand-crafted cocktails, Oz Bar has it all. So just sit back and relax, and enjoy the sunset. What to pair with your drink? Oz Bar's got that covered too...

Start with the Cheese Platter or go for the fresh and clean flavors of Oz Bar's Salmon Rillettes (P 625) served with crisp crostini, gherkins and lemon. Rillettes is a French pate made from poached duck, pork or fish, and Oz Bar's Salmon Rillettes takes the creamy and buttery notes of salmon to a delightfully tasty pate-like texture bursting with rich flavors with each bite. Oz Bar's other equally flavorful rillettes and pate include Duck and Pork Rillettes (P 625) and Chicken Liver Pate (P 625). 

Start some serious munching with Oz bar's Mexican Nachos (P 320), and once you start, you just can't stop. Topped with savory beef, re-fried beans, cheese and chili, it's the perfect side to your cocktail. 

Craving for pizza? Have a slice of the New York Pizza (P 550) or the Hawaiian Pizza (P 450) with another round of drinks at Oz Bar. With savory and flavorful toppings on a crisp and rustic thin crust, Oz Bar's pizzas are great for sharing with friends by the pool.

But there's more. Oz bar's tasty Croquettes (P 225) offers both textural contrasts and hearty flavors capped by the creamy dip...

...while the crunchy Calamares (P 500) and The Oz Fish & Chips (P 320) offers the day's freshest catch deep-fried to a perfect crispness. The crunchy texture and briny sweetness of the seafood come together for comforting bites pairing well with your cocktail at Oz Bar.

If you're still hungry, Oz Bar's savory Beef Salpicao with Mushrooms and Shallots (P 480) should do the trick. You'll be tempted to have garlic fried rice with this one.

Like all drinking sessions, sometimes you get this nagging craving for something sweet before calling it a night. Holiday Inn & Suites Makati's signature Ube Cheesecake...

...or indulgent creamy smoothies are just what you need after a round of drinks and sumptuous food at Oz Bar. Catch the sunset, and more, at Oz Bar...
