A long-delayed blogpost about my encounter with the Beat
Karaoke Bar at Burgos Circle ,
Bonifacio Global City
This was supposed to be an upbeat write-up, but as the hype
of that night died down, I realized that there was really nothing special that
the place has to offer.
Yes, they have an awesome interior that most yupees would
adore, but they do not have any other room variations that could cater more
people of different tastes and ages. The venue’s a bit secluded, too, which can
be a plus point to others who want to enjoy their videoke experience in some
sense of privacy; however, it’s not the most ideal setup for a business which
ought to encourage more visitors.
Rates are also not the most pop in the metro—with each room
worth about 700 pesos per hour and barkada packages that can go around 5,000
pesos for 12 people. Affordable enough for a night-out in BGC, but the minimal
food serving seems to reduce the value for money.
Their Pinoy-na-Pinoy menu is good though; especially that
they offer the same dishes to their foreign customers. The Beat also has a wide
array of songs that songsters can choose from, and they seem to make it a point
to keep their collection updated the latest hits.
On the surface, the Beat Karaoke’s really nothing out of the
ordinary. But with superb company like the ones I had when I hit this place
last month, the Beat can be a pretty enjoyable hang-out hide-out.
