A sudden afternoon downpour signaled the onset of the rainy season, a welcome relief to the summer heat but a damper on any plans for the evening. And with the rains comes the legendary metro traffic. Like they say, just add water and the entire city stops. Thankfully, there's Wine and Oyster Night at the Fairmont Lounge, so let it rain...
A never-empty glass of wine and fresh oysters, just what you need to end the day on the right note. Indulge in free-flowing wine with a platter of oysters at the Fairmont Lounge's Wine and Oyster Nights, and simply let the rain and metro traffic takes its course.
Every night, the Fairmont Lounge at Fairmont Makati Hotel becomes a haven for wine and seafood lovers. Glass after glass of premium wine, or champagne, gets you in the groove in no time, and a platter of fresh seafood completes another memorable evening at the Fairmont Lounge. 
Indulge in a selection of the day's freshest catch...
...including a platter of fresh oysters served with lemon and a variety of dips. There's just something about fresh oysters and free-flowing wine that makes any evening special, and you can have it any day of the week from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Fairmont Lounge (for more on the Fairmont Lounge, see my previous post, Spanish Nights: Ostras Y Cavas at the Fairmont Lounge).
Have your oysters baked with cheese...
...or prepared tempura-style, your call. Oysters and free-flowing wine, just can't get better than that. Weather permitting, you can also enjoy a round of cocktails and tasty bites at the Fairmont Makati's Pool Deck (see my earlier post, Sun Chaser: Cocktails at The Fairmont Makati's Pool Deck).
After quick work on the oysters, indulge in the Fairmont Lounge's many popular dishes, including their signature pizzas.
Celebrate the end of a long day with free-flowing wine and a platter of oysters for only P 1,100++ from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm any day of the week at the Fairmont Lounge, and yes, let it rain. For more information, call 795-1840 or email dining.makati@fairmont.com for reservations and inquiries.
