My first gastropub experience was at Brewery Gastropub Bacolod. Despite the name, my husband and I were confident with bringing our children over. And we were not disappointed. It was a lively restaurant filled with people who enjoy good food and a thorough collection of drinks.
And this is exactly what we experienced when we visited where this Bacolod restaurant concept came from — Brewery Gastropub Iloilo. Now on it’s 4th year, the Brewery in Iloilo continues to deliver elaborate food settings and appropriate beer pairings to the Ilonggos and visitors to the city.

While it is a pub, people of all ages come here because of the wholesome setting of the place. Brewery Gastropub Iloilo has well-lit and has nicely-appointed wooden touches.

The Beginnings
Inventive and ingenious, Chef Pauline opened the first imported beer bar in Iloilo City in 2010 with her husband, Gus. Mr. Banusing is the beer connoisseur between Iloilo’s power couple. They called this venture, Rooftop Brewery. The concept and the new beer flavors were new to the Ilonggos and it was kind of hard to compete with the local brands that they grew up with.
All it took was some exposure for the people to accept imported beers and so in 2014, Rooftop Brewery evolved into a much higher form — Brewery Gastropub Iloilo. They still carried the usual imported beers but the collection expanded to more than 100 beer choices from all over the world.

Aiming to educate the Ilonggo palate on different beers, Brewery Gastropub introduced handcrafted beers that are made in small batches using natural ingredients. These beers are produced in microbreweries found around the Philippines and abroad, such as Japan, Australia, California and New Orleans.

To date, they are the first and only pub in Iloilo City that carries six flavors of fresh gourmet beer in draft, which includes two brands that are regularly imported from Australia.
