Oarhouse is this pub in Bocobo St. in Malate near UPCM and where I live that I’ve been frequenting recently with a friend. Never had I expected then that I was the pub-going type, but having gone a lot quite recently, I see now the appeal. It’s quite low-key on the outside but inviting once you’ve entered; its laid-back, homey ambiance and its offerings of liquor a calming retreat for your typical hard worker looking to unwind.
