Celebrity entrepreneur Maria Ozawa was on hand to lead the tour of the Mansion Sports Bar & Lounge, as well as serve drinks to guests at Maria Invites, the establishment’s soft launch event just before the year 2022 ended.
Ozawa welcomed members from mainstream media, social media influencers, as well as fellow celebrities, who made time to attend Maria Invites. She led everyone to every bar, hall, lounge, and room, one of which is named after her. Each space is sponsored by an alcohol brand, such as Budweiser, Patrón, Martell, Chivas Regal, and Royal Salute.
Later in the evening, she was bartender for the night, mixing her favorite cocktail: tequila sunrise. Maria also presented Mansion Sports Bar & Lounge chef Sean Jorgensen, as everyone in attendance got to taste samples of the menu.
During the event, Maria Ozawa mentioned that she likes the concept of the place:
“You can do everything in one location. For example, you can dance, there’s a bartender, there’s a VIP room, you can play pool if you want, [and] you can drink beer and any kind of alcohol. I don’t know anywhere else that has a similar concept, and I hope people come back for more to experience everything.”
Meanwhile, chef Sean described his food:
“I like to do fun flavors. I like to do stuff that’s more alive. I’ve been outside the US so long; I try not to lose my roots. My food is for sharing, it’s for conversation, it’s for you to share to people you love, like, or do business with. I’m a man of few very words, I kind of let my food to speak for itself.”
Located at the second floor of OPL Building on C Palanca St, Legaspi Village, Makati, Mansion Sports Bar & Lounge has a winding staircase and a brightly lit façade that contrasts the area’s business-like atmosphere. Inside provides a cozy ambiance where patrons can spend the night away having fun.
