Feb 16. 2009. We would like to give a big big thank you to everyone who has supported, played, gone to, talked about, or visited Mayrics. It has been a great 25 years.


Mayrics started out in 1983 as a student canteen and a hang-out for bank employees after work. One fateful day, a bank manager decided to play the keyboards, which the owner had left lying around the place. The customers enjoyed it. This sparked the idea of having a professional one-man band play regularly, who would later be replaced by Pinoy bands, both popular and emerging.

The rest, as they say, is history.


"Manila's coolest rock bar, Mayrics is a place where great bands are born. The legendary underground rock joint in the city's university belt top bills homegrown rock journeymen The Jerks, reggae old hands Cocojam, durable swingin' and boppin' Put3ska, and gospel-preaching hard rockers Battery."
