The key to finding the perfect place for your father’s day date is finding out what it is that would really make him happy. Is he nuts about basketball? Does he have an inner geek waiting to come out? Is he a movie buff who can name the best movies of all time in a snap? Does he love dogs or planes perhaps?
We’ve listed down just a few restaurants with unique concepts that your Dad might fancy.
NBA Café (SM Aura, Taguig)
Located inside SM Aura in Bonifacio Global City Taguig, this baller’s haven often hosts viewing parties for bball heads., and mini press conferences featuring NBA stars.
It’s a basketball museum cum restaurant that doubles as an events place too! Your Dad or hubby would surely go crazy over the various collector’s items displayed all over the place. They’ve got signed jerseys, autographed basketballs, and ginormous TV screens where Dad can spend an afternoon watching the game while chugging down a mug of ice cold beer.

Dyce N Dine Board Game Bar (Pasig Boulevard)

Charlie’s Grill & Grind Kapitolyo (Pasig)
This particular branch located in Kapitolyo, Pasig allows customers to sink their teeth into their mighty meaty burgers and munch on their tasty fries all while having their car washed or waxed.
Add a belly full of freshly grilled meat, beer, and truffle fries to a squeaky clean car and you’ve got yourself an extremely happy Daddy. The car wash rates are a bit on the pricey side but if you’re having lunch or merienda while having Dad’s ride cleaned then the quality of the food more than makes up for it.
Let Dad try their black truffle fries that’s served with liver bits, best with imported beers that they sell too.
