1926 Gastropub - Olongapo City

The restaurant could use a bit of improvement in its decor. The seats are very worn out. I didn't have a meal, just a drink. I was happy that they offered frozen margaritas and mojitos at 10am.

My in-laws and I went to this restaurant for a pre-dinner beer and appetizer. We ordered 4 beers, calamari, a shake, and chicken poppers for a total of 1430php. Despite being the only table in the restaurant, we still had to wait for service, which was disappointing. The calamari was not as crispy as we expected and was quite chewy. The chicken poppers were decent. Although the restaurant had a cool appearance, we found it overpriced for the quality of food and service provided. Overall, I would not recommend dining here.

The second night, I started with a Caesar Salad that had large leaves of lettuce tossed in anchovy dressing, bacon bits, and grated Parmesan cheese, all topped with a soft poached egg. It was wonderful! I then had the Bahn Mi which was fantastic with hoisin ham, slaw, pickled turnips, pate, and cilantro. The crispy county fries on the side completed the plate perfectly. It was an excellent meal! My only suggestion would be for the restaurant to start restocking more draft beers and get the row of taps pouring again with a wide selection of local and/or craft beers.

Glad i trusted my instincts and came here. the mango smoothie was amazing! the 1925 classic burger was also the bombs with good nicely buttered brioche buns, along with the wings and potato croquettes!!! they were my favourites. the pesto pasta was a tad oily and peanut coated chicken was not my cup of tea. but it may be yours! it’s crunchy nonetheless.

I had an English breakfast. Sadly being English, the English breakfast did not look like an English breakfast. Bacon in the UK is normally soft, the baked beans are served in a red sauce and not particularly sugary. The sausage was paprika flavoured and felt more Hungarian than English. Sausages in England are smaller with mild herbs. The deco though was great and did feel like a restaurant back home. The service was erratic and some of our 7 person group finished their food before it arrived. Parking was easy and it's near the Spanish gate and Subic beach
