K-Pop Destinations: Rock Out And Chown Down At The Kpub BBQ In The Philippines

Welcome to 'K-pop Destinations,' the series that helps readers travel across the world. We'll show you where hit shows and videos are filmed, where top performers are giving concerts, or where your favorite stars take their vacations. That way, the next time you take a vacation, you can make sure to incorporate a little K-pop travel into your getaway.

Hope you're in the mood for a meaty meal in the tropics, because we're headed to the Kpub BBQ in the Philippines, a K-pop themed restaurant where the food is tasty and the music is pumping.

There are plenty of reasons to visit Manila besides this K-pop BBQ place (the city's rich history, proximity to breathtaking beaches, and raw tropical vibe come to mind) but this restaurant deserves a spot on any K-pop fan's travel itinerary if they're headed to the Philippines.

Kpub BBQ seems to have two rules. First: love K-pop. Guests enter the world of K-pop when they walk into Kpub BBQ. Walls are lined with giant photos of the latest and greatest stars, and enormous screens that play K-pop music videos.

And it's not just screens playing the music -- on weekends, guests are often treated to live music on the restaurant's stage from the best bands the Philippines have to offer.

The second rule? Come hungry. Kpub BBQ is a "meat-all-you-can" restaurant, and they're not joking around when it comes to protein.

Barbeque aficionados can fill their plates with savory grilled meat and fish like bulgogi, garlic shrimp, calamari, beef short ribs in several sauces, pork belly, and bacon. If you're a K-pop loving vegetarian, don't fear. The meat may be plentiful but it's not the only option. You can fill up on tasty Korean sides like several types of kimchi and steamed eggs, as well as traditional Korean entrees like bibimbap and kimchi fried rice.

The restaurant offers a few different meal packages, so whether you're in the mood for a quick K-pop filled lunch or want to sit and bask in the meat and the music for an entire evening, Kpub BBQ will be an affordable spot to fuel up on food.

Kpub BBQ would be a great place for any kind of celebration, or any time you're feeling that urge to be transported to Seoul. Or, you could lure all your friends that don't know much about K-pop to this restaurant under the pretense of barbeque - it's a good bet they'll be converted to fans by the end of the night.
