In the fast-paced ecosystem of Bonifacio Global City, finding a spot that successfully balances “professional escape” with “craft sanctuary” is a rare win. One year ago, a unique collaboration quietly took over the 6th Floor of the Arthaland Century Pacific Tower, and it has since become a staple for those who appreciate the finer details of both comfort food and independent brewing.
Apartment 1B x Elias BGC Taproom is officially celebrating its first anniversary, marking 365 days of pairing Chef Nikko Roa’s elevated comfort classics with the bold, boundary-pushing pours of Raoul Masangcay’s Elias Wicked Ales & Spirits.
While many BGC spots lean into high-octane energy, the Apartment 1B x Elias collaboration has carved out a niche for being a “thoughtfully curated” alternative.
It’s a space designed for unhurried conversations. During the early evening, it’s not uncommon to see professionals with laptops, trading the fluorescent office lights for a “Hoppy Hour” sunset view.
The taproom settles into a steady groove throughout the week. Thursdays feature DJ sets, while Fridays are reserved for live acoustic sessions—perfect for those who want a “soulful” backdrop to their weekend kickoff.
Daily from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the “Hoppy Hour” offers a complimentary beer upsize, making it a natural transition point from the workday to the evening.
The heart of the experience is the dialogue between the kitchen and the tap.
Longtime fans of Apartment 1B will find their favorite signature dishes here, but with a twist. The menu has been reimagined to interact with Elias’ wide range of beverages—which spans beyond just beer to include ciders, mead, and craft cocktails.
As founder Raoul Masangcay puts it, the goal is to introduce people to the full spectrum of local craft in a setting that feels approachable. Whether you’re a seasoned hop-head or a cocktail enthusiast, the taproom offers a dimension for every palate.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet remote work session, an intimate dinner with friends, or a private event space, the taproom is open Monday through Saturday.
