TGIF

TGIF

TGI Fridays Davao has been serving great food and hosting great moments for 2 years. And they are celebrating in a big way.

The tradition began in Manhattan in 1965 when Alan Stillman opened T.G.I. Friday’s. It was a ploy “to meet Pan Am stewardesses.” We all know it’s just more than that.

TGIF has became a place for family and friends to gather to have good food, drink up some exciting cocktails, and exchange chit chat. At lunchtime and afternoons, families go to TGIF together to celebrate birthdays, graduations, and other milestones. When the sun goes down, bartenders mix up the best concoctions for couples out on a date or groups of friends out to have a good time.

They have numerous branches all over the world, with 14 branches in the Philippines. One branch is here in Davao City at Abreeza Ayala Mall.
