Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is A Chic place to Hang Out and is really popular in the Southern California Area but like Seattle's best Coffee then, it's popularity is limited and is mostly located in the southwestern US (California, Nevada, Arizona) but has growing popularity worldwide especially in asia.
This branch in greenbelt 3 is their first branch here and started in 2003. The company was founded by Mona and Herbert Hyman. It is one of the oldest and largest privately held chain of specialty coffee and tea stores. The first store opened in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood in 1963. Coffee Bean stores differ from other coffee chains such as Starbucks with their broad selection of tea drinks. It also popularized The Original Ice Blended drinks and Chai Lattes.
Here in the philippines, it is a popular place to hang out and have free wi-fi especially when the nearby Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee are Jampacked since prices here are slightly lower.
Dress Code: Smart Casual.

I suppose it's the same hard rock that everybody goes to at night time in any part of the worLd. well, the comparison (amongst the bars here)..is.. I find it a little sophisticated in terms of music. They won't bore you to death. Their performers are really good. The food, the ambience, the facilities.. the service.. they're all the same with the other nicey bars around. uhm.. they're selling haRDRadrock garments, too. For reasonable prices.. designed by some famous INternational artists.. like shakira..?
Dress Code: casual. just wear casual outfit. I think the staff will STOP you at the entrance if you're wearing something revealing that 'll make their bar appear like a hideout for prostitution...

Along these restaurants is where you can eat and drink while listening to a band perform live. Mostly acoustic, these bands will perform your favorite tunes whether it be from the 80’s, 90’s or what not. Sometimes, they may even let you hit a few notes with them (as with my colleague’s case).
As they peform in an open area, there is no entrance fee. They perform for the enjoyment of Cena and Masas's patrons.

Fridays to Sundays 9:30PM-4AM

Usually, these are the bands that play:
Guarana, Arriba!, Nuevo Ritmo among others

heard a great deal about citrus ...it was the former vbar and veniza bar...i went it side and paid the entrace free, can't remember how much but i heard it was overpriced. when i went inside, it was quite a bit smaller than what i expected. the crowd was young and the music was your typical pop/rap top 40....was informed it was the bar for the rich in the area but i guess i went on a bad night
Dress Code: your usual bar attire, collard shirts, nice shoes for dudes. girls all looked pretty dressed up
