Plunge Bar Brings Poolside Weekends to Life at Grand Westside Manila Bay

Weekend evenings take on a more relaxed and vibrant atmosphere at Plunge Bar, the poolside dining destination of Grand Westside Manila Bay, where guests can enjoy great food, handcrafted cocktails, live entertainment, and stunning open-air views in the heart of Entertainment City, Parañaque.

Located on the hotel’s fifth-floor Open Deck, Plunge Bar offers an inviting escape from the bustle of Metro Manila. Overlooking the swimming pool and framed by the evening skyline, the venue has become an ideal spot for families, friends, couples, and colleagues looking to unwind after a busy week. Rather than the loud energy of traditional nightlife, the bar provides a laid-back setting where conversations flow naturally, complemented by music, refreshing drinks, and flavorful cuisine.

One of the venue’s weekend highlights is Grill & Rhythm, held every Saturday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The al fresco dining experience combines live acoustic music with an extensive selection of freshly grilled specialties prepared by Executive Chef Christopher Lugtu and his culinary team.

Chef Lugtu believes that memorable meals are created through quality ingredients, generous flavors, and dishes meant to be shared. His carefully curated menu features grilled skewers, premium sausages, seafood, bourbon ribs, pork barbecue, chicken inasal, pork belly, stuffed squid, and other Filipino favorites, complemented by a variety of side dishes that allow guests to customize their meals. With prices starting at ₱700 nett, Grill & Rhythm offers an accessible dining experience perfect for weekend gatherings.

On the final Saturday of each month, Plunge Bar transforms into a livelier destination through Sip ’n Splash, a signature poolside celebration that combines handcrafted cocktails, specially prepared bar bites, live DJ performances, flair bartending, and exciting giveaways. Running from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the monthly event provides guests with an energetic yet relaxed way to spend an evening by the pool under the city lights. Admission is priced at ₱1,500 nett per person, making it an attractive option for those seeking a unique social experience outside the usual nightlife scene.

According to Joe Xavier Fijardo, General Manager of Grand Westside Manila Bay, Plunge Bar represents the hotel’s commitment to creating meaningful experiences beyond accommodation. He emphasized that hospitality is not only about providing comfortable rooms but also about building welcoming spaces where guests and members of the local community can gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories.

As Grand Westside Manila Bay continues to expand its dining and lifestyle offerings, Plunge Bar remains one of its standout destinations, combining exceptional food, warm service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Whether guests are savoring freshly grilled specialties, enjoying handcrafted cocktails, listening to live music, or simply spending quality time with family and friends by the pool, the venue offers a refreshing way to celebrate the weekend.

With its inviting ambiance and thoughtfully curated experiences, Plunge Bar continues to establish itself as one of Parañaque City’s emerging weekend destinations, offering visitors another reason to return to Grand Westside Manila Bay time and again.
