Images as Topic : The 2011 Oarhouse Pub T-Shirt Collection

 The Oarhouse Pub limited edition T-shirt collection, 2011.

What makes a community pub a great conversation piece in and of itself? For our patrons we are introducing The Oarhouse Pub Limited Edition T-Shirt collection, as we've commissioned artist-illustrator-colleague Dante Perez to design our initial line of tshirts that are as uniquely individual as the people who've been our regulars and supporters. At PhP 550 each, the entire limited set in medium and small sizes (larger customized sizes can be ordered as well) are available on view and for sale, only at The Oarhouse. Look for Wilson or Jecery. :-)


The Oarhouse Pub Gallery Lounge at the Mezzanine

It's looking more and more like home, and we're still scheduling a good scrubdown shampoo of the carpet upstairs, but i'm proud to present a sneak preview of the new 'gallery lounge at the mezzanine', which can accommodate groups and gatherings of as many as 25 to 30 people. It's always been in the plans to make the Oarhouse mezzanine level more like an interactive multimedia lounge where art and photo exhibits, spoken word or acoustic music performances, and independent film screenings can be held aside from the regular birthday or event celebrations. Get in touch if you're interested in holding an event here at the Oarhouse Pub of Manila, at 1688-B J. Bocobo St., Malate. The landline is (63)(2) 516-7296, and ask for Wilson.

A closing thought for now, on the temporary fate of The Oar



The abrupt and sudden closure of the Oarhouse has been painful for me, especially. But at my age, I finally understand what it means to be viciously selfish in fighting for what's important to me. I will hold zero tolerance for those without a clue as to what that means. And I will hold everyone who is anyone in my life accountable to the same.
