SEDA Capitol Central is poised to be the new toast of the town as the hotel officially opens its Straight Up rooftop bar – the first of its kind in Bacolod City – offering sensational drinks, sweet sounds, and a scenic panoramic view of the metro.
The Seda brand’s iconic roofdeck spot, Straight Up, has received consistent local and international recognition for raising the bar in the food and beverage arena, producing some the best leisure and lifestyle hangouts in the country. Now, Seda Capitol Central is ready to bring Straight Up’s recognizable stamp to the Bacolod City party and nightlife scene.
The only hotel bar of its kind in Bacolod, Straight Up boasts a modern design concept that offers guests a choice of lounging indoors or enjoying the cool evening breeze “al fresco” – the outdoor setting providing a unique vantage point for guests to take in a sprawling view of the “City of Smiles.”
With Seda Capitol Central strategically located at the heart of Bacolod City, just beside the Capitol Park and Lagoon, the view from Straight Up is perfect from sundown – capturing the breathtaking beauty of the developing locale – to the rest of the evening when the skyline is calm under a watchful bright moon.
Straight Up is quickly becoming the place-to-be for chill evening hangouts with friends. Partake in the hotel’s unique “Apericena” – a pre-dinner treat based on the Italian tradition, offered everyday – featuring a complimentary buffet of pica-pica and other yummy hors d’oeuvres for any order of alcoholic drinks from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Tapas are also a menu highlight at the trendy bar. Share delectable bites of nachos, chicken and beef quesadillas, and angus beef kebab with your friends as you sip your drinks, all exquisite in taste and presentation.
Straight Up also prides itself with its Bacolod-style Chicken Inasal Skewers, mouth-watering grilled chicken that’s the perfect balance of savory and tangy. Seared to perfection, this twist on the local classic remains loyal to its roots: light and tender, yet with the smoky inasal flavor we all crave.
You could also try out Straight Up’s slate of Seda Capitol Central signature drinks – all inspired by the rich culture of Bacolod City and Negros. The perfect partner for your tasty Tapas is the Negrense Martini – honoring the timeless cocktail – it’s a mix of gin, pineapple juice, a mash of gurken with a squeeze of calamondin.
Or maybe the Piña Ilongga is more to your liking – the impeccable combination of rum with pineapple, cherry syrup, coconut cream, and nata de coco. Also waiting for you to discover them are the Kapitolyo Mule, the Straight Up Sour, and the Rum & Mangga cocktails.
As a special opening treat, Straight Up is letting guests enjoy nothing less than two refreshing drinks for the price of one with its Happy Hour offer, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday to Thursdays. Avail of local beers and selected cocktails for as low as Php120 and Php160, respectively, and enjoy the night while it’s still young.
SEAMLESS SEDA
