About Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong)
Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong) is a long-running Malate grille-and-drinks spot on Remedios Street that works best for groups of four or more. Walk-ins are the norm, the price point is affordable, and the casual open-air setup makes it a dependable neighbourhood option rather than a destination restaurant. Book if you want an unpretentious night out in central Manila.
Quick Verdict
Super 6 Grille House — locally known as Payong-Payong — has held a corner of Remedios Street in Malate long enough to become a reference point for the neighbourhood rather than a discovery. Seats here are not the kind you plan weeks ahead for, but they do fill on weekend evenings, so arriving early or calling ahead is the smarter move for groups. If you are visiting Malate for the first time and want a grille-and-drinks setup that locals actually use rather than one built for tourists, this is the address to know.
The Space and Who It Works For
Remedios Street in Malate is one of Manila's older dining and drinking strips, and Super 6 sits in that casual, unpretentious register the street is known for. The physical layout leans open-air and communal, which makes it a reasonable call for groups of four or more who want space to spread out, share plates, and keep the tab manageable. The spatial setup is less suited to quiet one-on-one dinners , the energy and layout skew social. For a first visit, expect the kind of place where the draw is the combination of grilled food, cold drinks, and an easy atmosphere rather than a tightly curated menu or a high-design room.
Groups are genuinely well-served here. The format , grille house, shared plates, relaxed pacing , is built for four or more people rather than couples looking for intimacy. If you are organising a casual group night out in Manila, the Malate location keeps transport simple from most central districts, and the price positioning (Malate's dining strip skews affordable relative to BGC or Makati) means the bill at the end of the night is unlikely to surprise anyone.
First-Timer Advice
Arrive before 7 PM on a Friday or Saturday if you want seating without a wait. The venue does not carry the booking friction of the city's more formal restaurants , walk-ins are standard practice , but groups larger than six should not count on finding a full table together on a busy night without some coordination. No dress code applies; come as you are. For more on where Super 6 fits in the broader Manila drinking and dining picture, see our full Manila bars guide and our full Manila restaurants guide.

Expect a mixed neighbourhood crowd: locals from Malate, office workers winding down, and regulars who treat Remedios Street as their default Thursday-to-Saturday circuit. It skews casual and unpretentious — no scene posturing. If you want a quieter version of the same strip, weeknights before 8 PM tend to be more low-key.
Does Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong) have happy hour deals?
Specific happy hour pricing isn't documented for this venue, so confirm directly when you arrive. That said, Malate grille bars on Remedios Street generally run drink promos in the early evening — arriving before 7 PM is a practical move regardless, as seating fills up on weekends.
What's the signature drink at Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong)?
No specific signature drink is on record for Super 6. Given the casual grille format and Malate's drinking-bar culture, expect cold beers and straightforward spirits to anchor the drinks list. Ask staff on arrival for whatever they're pushing that evening.
Is Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong) good for a date?
It works for a relaxed, low-pressure first or second date — the Remedios Street setting is familiar enough to feel comfortable without being stuffy. Don't expect a quiet, intimate dining room; this is a grille bar with street-level energy. For something more formal on a date night in Manila, look elsewhere, but for casual drinks and grilled food, Super 6 gets the job done.
Is the food good at Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong)?
Specific menu details aren't publicly documented, but the grille format suggests straightforward Filipino bar food — the kind that pairs with cold drinks on a warm Manila evening. The venue's longevity on Remedios Street is a reasonable indicator that regulars keep coming back. Manage expectations accordingly: this is solid neighbourhood food, not a destination kitchen.
Do I need a reservation at Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong)?
No reservation is needed, and the venue doesn't carry the booking friction of Manila's more formal dining spots. That said, arriving before 7 PM on Friday or Saturday is the practical move if you want guaranteed seating — the place fills up and walk-in waits are real on peak nights.
Does Super 6 Grille House (Payong-Payong) have outdoor seating?
Outdoor or semi-outdoor seating details aren't confirmed in available records. Given the Remedios Street context — a lively Manila strip where al fresco setups are common — it's worth asking when you arrive or checking with the venue directly before a large group visit.
